Switzerland: the First Global Symposium on Health Systems Research (HSR)

Overview

The World Health Organization (WHO) and partners are pleased to announce the First Global Symposium on Health Systems Research (HSR) - Science to Accelerate Universal Health Coverage.

Researchers, policy-makers, funders, and other stakeholders representing diverse constituencies will gather in Montreux, Switzerland to share evidence, identify significant knowledge gaps, and set a research agenda that reflects the needs of low and middle-income countries. The Symposium is structured around two main streams:

The first stream is relevant for presenting HSR findings. Results can be based on primary or secondary data sources, employ quantitative and/or qualitative research methods and derive from completed or ongoing research. Recommendations / conclusions should demonstrate contributions of the described research to enhancing universal health coverage in a particular setting and the potential applications to other settings, if applicable. Findings in this stream will correspond to one of the following themes:

- Political economy of universal health coverage
- Health system financing
- Scaling-up of health services
- Monitoring and evaluation
- Knowledge translation


The second stream will be educational and contribute to participants’ learning and skills development for advancing the HSR field. The focus of this stream will include one of the following themes:

- Terminology, taxonomies, frameworks
- Methods for HSR and knowledge translation
- Measures used in HSR
- Capacity building for HSR
- Multidisciplinary approaches

Deadline 30 April 2010
