Advance Global Health: Achieve the MDGs

Global Health

I feel like the proverbial man who went looking for a four-leaf clover all round the world, only to find one at his doorstep when he returned home.

Melbourne is hosting the major conference on Health leading up to the UN September Summit: It's the 63rd Annual United Nations Conference for Non-Governmental Organizations, on the theme “Advance Global Health: Achieve the MDGs".

Festivities were kicked off on Sunday with an Australian Football League match between the Demons and the Kangaroos.

 

 

There is live streaming of the Conference at Make Health Global.
