Challenges in global health - 2015 and beyond

Convenor: Action for Global Health Location: Committee Room 8, Palace of Westminster Date and time: 5:30pm on 25 November 2014

Recent decades have seen great progress on global health as well as setbacks and new and continuing challenges. The next Parliament will be a crucial time for global health; the final negotiations on the next set of global development goals will be one of the first tasks for the new government. The representatives on the panel will be asked to discuss the negotiations and their approach to a range of interconnected crises and trends, such as:
• The opportunity to end the epidemics of HIV, TB, malaria and diarrhoeal diseases and lessons to draw from the Ebola crisis
• The need to strengthen health and community systems in resource-poor environments
• Changes in financing flows for development and how these will affect the achievement of health goals
• The rise of non-communicable diseases in developing countries.

There will also be ample opportunity for questions from the floor.

Speakers:
• Jim Murphy MP – Labour Shadow Secretary of State for International Development
• Martin Horwood MP – Chair of the Liberal Democrats International Policy Committee
• Stephen O’Brien MP (tbc) – Conservative former Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at DFID

Chair: Eliza Anyangwe of the Guardian
