List of participants
At its 2004 annual meeting, the Global Forum for Health
Research called for an acceleration in the needed
re-orientation of research towards the world’s key health
priorities and the correction of the 10/90 gap.
Forum 8 gathered around 900 participants from 450
institutions in 109 countries. Participants represented
governments, multilateral and bilateral aid agencies,
international and national foundations and NGOs, women's
organizations, research institutions and universities, the
private sector and the media.
The programme featured ten plenary sessions, 56 parallel
and special interest group sessions, 90 posters and some 40
market stalls. The work will be pursued in the coming year
under each of the specific themes discussed in the plenary and
parallel sessions by the respective institutions, networks and
partnerships.
The results of the work undertaken in 2004 for the correction
of the 10/90 gap worldwide will be presented in Forum 9, the
Global Forum's 2005 annual meeting, which will take place from
12 to 16 September 2005 in Mumbai, India.
We look forward to seeing you there.
