September 30–October 3, 2014, IntraHealth International is sponsoring satellite events and participating in both oral and poster presentations at the Third Global Symposium on Health Systems Research in Cape Town, South Africa.
The symposium’s 2014 theme—“the science and practice of people-centered health systems”— enables participants to address current and critical concerns across countries in all parts of the world.
IntraHealth leaders will join researchers, policy-makers, funders, implementers, and other stakeholders from all regions and all socio-economic levels, and work together to make health systems more responsive to the needs of individuals, families, and communities everywhere.
