We are very grateful to Lord Nigel Crisp for putting two parliamentary questions to the UK Government, further to a request by the BMA:

Question 1:
"To ask Her Majesty’s Government what actions they are taking to increase access to information about health and health care for both members of the public and health workers globally." (HL1817) 

Tabled on: 12 September 2016

Response:
Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Department for International Development): 

Health partnerships: What works and what doesn't

HIFA is seeking technical and financial support for this project to leverage the HIFA community (>17,000 health professionals) to explore barriers and drivers to health partnerships, building on work sponsored by THET in 2016:

From 19th September to 21 October 2016, HIFA hosted a thematic discussion on health partnerships as defined and supported by THET: 'A health partnership is an on-going collaboration between health institutions in high income countries and those in low and middle income countries.' There was some discussion also on HIFA-French and HIFA-Zambia.  

10 July, 2016

From 6 June to 3 July 2016 HIFA hosted a thematic discussion around an important and neglected question: How can health research from low- and middle-income countries be made more accessible? This builds upon a previous, broader discussion on Access to Health Research, which led to the Manila Declaration on the Availability and Use of Health Research Information in and for Low- and Middle-income Countries in the Asia Pacific Region (26 August 2015).

Improving access to medical treatments and other health services

Join HIFA today for a major thematic discussion on Implementation Research. The discussion will launch on 8 August 2016 and will continue through to 19 September 2016. We are grateful for support from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) and The Lancet.
