Since the very successful first Nigeria: Partneship for Health Conference in 2008, we have receieved several enquiries on when the next one will hold. Apparently colleagues found immense value in meeting to share ideas on how to engage and contribute to the Nigerian health sector.
It is our pleasure to invite you to the Nigeria: Partnership for Health Conference in 2010 II
We have another fascinating line up of 8 speakers that will be sharing with us their experience with the health sector in Nigeria one issues form the public health policy to clinical care. The theme of this years conference will be:
Moving to sustained collaboration
This conference focus on how sustainable collaboration between Nigerian health professionals working in the West and Nigerians and Institutions in Nigeria can lead to health gains for the Nigerian people. We will seek to highlight what we or others are doing to engage with the major health issues facing us both in preventive and curative medicine. This will include activity by government, non-governmental organisations, the private sector and individuals. We will feedback on progress since the last conference in 2008 both in terms of progress we have achieved and progress by the other partners at the conference.
This conference will focus on governments, individuals and groups that have engaged in collaborative projects and programmes in Nigeria, the initiation process, the challenges they have faced in growing and sustaining this, sharing experience and inspiring others. These collaborative projects or partnerships will be related to clinical care, research, health policy formulation, training or teaching.
The overarching goal of this conference is to continue the work started by the 2008 conference; building enthusiasm and confidence in opportunities in the Nigerian health sector, to nurture new relationships and inspire action. It will be an opportunity for us to learn from others that have initiated links, partnerships and networks and share our diverse experience on how these have worked. Nigerians are generally a passionate people. Through this conference we want to create a forum for the exchange of ideas that can change attitudes, lives and ultimately, Nigeria; a community of enthusiasts to engage with ideas and each other.
