We will be streaming the keynote presentations and subsequent panel discussions for viewers around the world to watch here.

In the past 10 years, we have witnessed remarkable gains, particularly in malaria control, but also for neglected tropical diseases and other childhood illnesses. However, we are now at a crossroads for global health, with targets still to be reached for the Millennium Development Goals, and the post-2015 development framework yet to be finalised. This event will serve to outline the priorities and gaps moving forward for all development partners to consider and act upon.
