...Global Health is a universal, comprehensive vision but it also is a
practical local challenge with many fronts. Nongovernmental
organizations and civil society actors are committed to implement
health programs at country level, made outreach to remote areas and
populations possible, advocated public health issues to a broad
audience, promote ownership with participatory action.

From communities in which people struggle with scarcity of essential
resources such as water, nutrition, and education to those that are
suffer the consequences of excess consumption, pollution, and waste,
NGO's can share with us lessons learned from people around the world
who are confronting defying cultural and environmental contexts to
make positive changes.

Speakers will present perspectives on the issue of taking Science and
technology to the people, sharing of good practices. At the end of
the presentations, participants may questions and provide comments.
