Every so often we need to emerge from the trenches we dig for a living,
and
ascend to where we can see an intricately interconnected world.
We invite you to a conference aimed primarily at the process of
questioning, reflection and learning; to generate and share information
that is relevant to our interests in the health of Nigerians.
Nigeria: Partnership for Health
Restoring health to the Agenda
This conference will bring together Nigerians working in the health sector
in the Diaspora including doctors, pharmacists, nurses as well as
important stakeholders and our partners in the health arena that are based
in the UK to focus on the following objectives.
1. To create a forum where Nigerian professionals working in health
roles in the UK and partners working on health issues in Nigeria meet with
the Federal Ministry of Health and its partners to explore opportunities
of
working together for the benefit of the health of Nigerians.
2. To hear from senior government officials on their priorities for
health and health care are as well as their strategies in confronting
these
in order to identify ways in supporting them in achieving these.
3. To identify and publicize the role of links, partnerships and
research collaborations in improving the health of Nigerians.
