Oxford Public Health Network Meeting: Rolling-out Affordable Solutions for the World's Poorest
Oxford University has world-class scholars in tropical medicine, health policy, and global governance. Until now, they have never collaborated. There is a compelling reason for them to do so. Huge progress has been made in high-tech solutions to healthcare problems in the poorest countries of the world. Even in countries as poor as Mozambique and Ethiopia, antiretrovirals (ARVs) are now being rolled out. Neglected in the unprecedented investment in health in the poorest countries are some of the (often low-technology) highest-performing, most effective preventions and treatments which improve health in the poorest countries. This meeting will discuss the lowest-cost, most effective health care interventions for the world's poorest and what it would take to more effectively roll-out these solutions. All interested are welcome to attend.
