The Global Forum for Health Research is an independent interna-
tional foundation promoting more health research to combat the
neglected diseases and conditions that are major sources of ill
health in developing countries and to reduce other inequities in
health and health research. Its annual meeting provides the op-
portunity for presentations and exchange of views on key issues
on the global health agenda. Participants from a broad range of
constituencies are expected to be present: health and develop-
ment ministries, multilateral and bilateral agencies, research-
oriented bodies and universities, NGOs and civil society, the
private sector, the media.
