Our common commitment and plan of action for global health

International Conference 'Equal opportunities for health: action for development'. A plan of action to advocate and teach global health

On 03-04 April 2009 the international conference "Equal opportunities for health: action for development". A plan of action to advocate and teach global health was held at the Department of Sociology of the University of Padova. 150 international participants representative of the health community attended the conference with the aim of elaborating a common plan of action to promote and teach global health, therefore focussing on concrete proposals and actions. Elaborated by four different working groups (namely: teaching global health at schools of health and human sciences; life-long learning of health professionals on global health; the role of international health cooperation in advocating, teaching and implementing global health; strategies for mobilising and sustaining financial and human resources to advocate and teach global health), such proposals have been collected in a final commitment paper which is the base for future action for global helth advocacy and teaching.
