Global Health TV, produced by WebsEdge/Health, brings the global health community together. Through the power of online television we share inspiring stories on the work being done around the world to tackle HIV, AIDS, TB, Malaria and other diseases, build health systems and reduce infant and maternal mortality. Global Health TV shows that there is hope for a brighter, healthier future.
Opening of Geneva Health Forum 2010
Highlights from the first day
The opening session of the 2010 Global Health forum addresses health issues in the context of globalisation, crisis and health systems. These issues are currently affected by food and fuel supply, economics and natural disasters. Chairperson Dr Yibeltal Assefa of Ethiopia, from the Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp, Belgium, provides a regional perspective, representing countries of the south based on studies from Uganda, Thailand and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Global Health TV also took a tour around the conference and spoke with delegates about why they are attending the forum and what they hope to achieve whilst there.
