“….Building upon the Ministerial Summit on Health Research held in Mexico in 2004 and on the findings of The Task Force for Health Systems Research,  World Health Assembly Resolution 58.34 called for:- "The global scientific community, international partners, the private sector, civil society, and other relevant stakeholders, as appropriate:

·         to provide support for a substantive and sustainable programme of health-systems research aligned with priority country needs and aimed at achieving the internationally agreed health-related development goals, including those contained in the United Nations Millennium Declaration;

·         to strengthen or establish the transfer of knowledge in order to communicate, improve access to, and promote use of, reliable, relevant, unbiased, and timely health information;”

In preparation for the forthcoming Ministerial Forum on Health Research, to be held in Bamako, Mali in November 2008, more than 40 researchers from 28 countries, both in the South and the North, who have a particular interest in health policy and systems research (HPSR) and the application of evidence to health policy, gathered in Nyon, Switzerland on 25-27th May to:-

·         critically assess developments in HPSR in low and middle income countries and its application to policy since the Mexico Summit, 2004;

·         highlight current gaps, priorities and challenges in the HPSR field that need to be addressed;

·         discuss and agree how best to move forward the HPSR field.
