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