Research and Policy in Global Health: Country-Specific Experiences

Scientific Workshop at the World Health Summit

Date: Monday, 16 October 2023; 14:00-15:30 CET
Location: WHS Conference Hotel, North America and online

The aim of the session is to discuss and learn from successful country experiences addressing public health issues in an interplay between academic experts and policy-makers. How can policy-makers, academics, and communities work together to develop solutions on a national or state level? What critical enablers are needed in terms of e.g. infrastructure or networks? What is the role of national public health institutions and health services in linking research to policy? How can social and political institutions incorporate learnings from past experiences with the support of academics? How can governments and academics cooperate most effectively in bi-/plurilateral international cooperation?

Bringing together the perspectives of researchers, international organizations, national public health institutions and policy makers, the session encompasses issues ranging from infectious diseases and health systems to implementation research.

This session will be hosted by the German Alliance for Global Health Research (GLOHRA), an initiative set to promote networking and to strengthen global health research in Germany. GLOHRA is an association of global health researchers from all disciplines affiliated with public research institutions across Germany and funded by the German Federal Ministries for Education and Research as well as the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
