[EQ] The U.S. Commitment to Global Health

The U.S. Commitment to Global Health


Institute of Medicine, March , 2008

 

Website: http://www.iom.edu/?ID=51303

 

“….The Institute of Medicine’s Board on Global Health is organizing a 14-month consensus study to examine and articulate the case for why multiple agencies from government and the private sector in the U.S. should make a deeper commitment to global health. This study aspires to be a broader and more complete exploration of the subject than the 1997 IOM report, America’s Vital Interest in Global Health.

 

The first meeting of the Committee on the U.S. Commitment to Global Health was held on March 24, 2008. The meeting was open to the public and included presentations from the study sponsors and other eminent figures in global health. Speaker presentations and audio files can be accessed through the links below….”
