The Global
Symposium on Health Systems Research officially gets going tomorrow
although many of our colleagues have been involved in pre-conference events
like Emerging Voices for Global
Health. There is a packed formal agenda as well as a host of side-events,
receptions, launches, breakfast meetings and market stalls to navigate. We
would like to provide a round-up of all sessions with a focus on the
private sector. However, we can’t promise a definitive list. Here are some of
the papers that we know about. We hope you find it useful. If we have missed
anything please do get in contact. Our thanks to Dominic Montagu and team from the Global Health Group at University of California, San Francisco for compiling this information. Sessions
