Room C1, International Meetings Centre, Maison de la paix | Geneva
Organised by the Global Health Centre at the Graduate Institute.
The Global Health Centre at the Graduate Institute has launched an applied research project to analyse the critical dimensions of the global effort to eradicate polio, focusing on overcoming the remaining barriers and ensuring a lasting legacy for health systems as well as the role of European countries in this effort. This event is the first in a series of policy dialogues across different cities in Europe. It will focus on the social and political barriers to polio eradication and on the implications for governance at the local and global level, as well as for strengthening health systems and achieving universal health coverage.
We cordially invite all global health actors to join this timely discussion.
