The following message was posted on CANCHID on June 1st. Since it will be
hard for most, if not all, CANCHID participants to be at face-to-face
meetings on the topic in Ottawa, Canada, on June 4th, I invite CANCHID
members to make their views know here - over the next week - so as to
inform the people who are face-to-face in Ottawa.

Join Canadian and developing country experts in addressing questions of
global importance:

You are invited to the Opening Session of: Joint IDRC, CIDA, Health Canada
and WHO Workshop/Meeting of Experts on Global Public Goods for Health,
Making globalization work to improve the health of the poor.

8:30am - 1:00pm June 4th at IDRC, 250 Albert Street, 14th floor.

What are the risks and opportunities of globalization for health, and what
is Canada's role in this arena? Does the lens of global public goods help
us to address the key development problems of today? Can globalization be
made to work to improve the health of the poor? Does Canada want to engage
in these issues and challenges or be on the receiving/reactive end of
globalization as it affects the health of Canadians and our partners in the
South? What are the research and action agendas for globalization, public
goods and health?
