WHS 2012: After the registration

WHO-Session at the World Health Summit 2012

The vision of the World Health Summit is to improve health worldwide. To pursue this, the 2013 program will be structured by four major tracks:

- Global Health for Development
- Evidence to Policy
- Research and Innovation
- Education and Leadership

Coinciding with the actual Post-MDG-discussion, a thematic focus on the track “Global Health for Development” is available online, presenting specialists' opinions, further information, and much more to introduce the background of this track.

After receiving almost 200 high-class abstracts in 2012, we are pleased to continue the New Voices in Global Health (NVGH) program, organized in cooperation with THE LANCET. This program will again enable young researchers to have the opportunity to present their work at the Summit.

The NVGH is a competitive program designed to highlight important research, policy and advocacy initiatives of new and potential future leaders in global health. Abstracts should be submitted online no later than June 28, 2013.

Details concerning the program are <link the-summit call-for-abstracts.html _blank external-link-new-window external link in new>available online >>>
