The OECD Forum 2004 is entitled ’Health of nations’ and will tackle some of the key issues on the international policy agenda, such as the health of the global economy, the health of multilateral co-operation and the health of our citizens.
Themes include human rights and health, ageing, equity of access to healthcare, sustainable development and communicable diseases. Speakers include health and finance ministers from OECD countries, senior WTO, EU and OECD officials.
The forum will be held in Paris at the Centre de Conférences Internationales, on 12-13 May 2004. In order to increase the participation of civil society, the OECD is offering a limited number of free places to EPHA member organisations.
