A Catalyst for Action Pacific Health Summit

London, UK June 12-14, 2012

The goal of the Pacific Health Summit is to connect science, industry, and policy for a healthier world. Every June we convene top decision-makers in science, policy, industry, medicine, and public health to discuss how to realize the dream of a healthier future through the effective utilization of scientific advances combined with industrial innovation and appropriate policies. Each year we focus our discussion on an issue of critical importance; maternal and newborn health in 2010, multi-drug resistant tuberculosis in 2009, malnutrition in 2008, and pandemic influenza in 2007.

In 2011, the Summit took place in Seattle, and our theme was vaccines.

The Summit is a year-round process. In addition to the June meeting, the Summit provides an ongoing forum for world leaders to improve health by working together to grapple with problems and solutions, share best practices, and forge effective collaborations.
