Objective
A Report from A Consensus Building Forum and Declaration of Consensus will be published for the purpose of demonstrating the effectiveness and achievability of building consensus around defnitions, concepts, and critical issues in Global Health Equity.
Overview
The exploration of the themes will be framed by looking at the ethical implications of research, the social implications of displacement and by looking at the crossing of boundaries inherent in knowledge discovery and distribution.
