UCSF-Stanford-UC Berkeley present the 6th Annual Colloquium
Event Information
Description
Global health policy and academic leaders have endorsed ambitious goals for continued reductions in the global burden of disease in coming decades. Interventions to pursue these goals are numerous and evolving. However, resources are limited, so choosing wisely for local needs and implementing well are critical.
Please join us for this colloquium, with experts, policy makers, researchers, and trainees. We will discuss economic concepts and tools to develop locally optimal intervention portfolios and maximize intervention effectiveness and efficiency. We will examine the interface of program scale-up, implementation enhancement, monitoring and quality.
