Abstract
"In a globalizing world, rich countries cannot isolate themselves from insecurity: poverty and weak health systems are vulnerable to disease outbreaks, conflicts and natural disasters. Investments in the health of the poor make economic sense: they have been proven to reduce poverty and yield higher rates of return than virtually any other investment that a government can make. Global Forum vision A world in which the potential of research and innovation are fully utilized to address the health of the poor. The measure of effectiveness is the ability to ‘get the right things done’, as Peter Drucker said. For the Global Forum, this means research and policies that • improve all the fundamental factors that create, promote or restore health • enhance health equity, i.e. increase healthpromoting opportunities for the poor • meet local, national and global priority health needs."(pg 4)
