are vital to improve the current

coordination and to stimulate

the nancing of health research.This is also crucial to strengthen

the links between evidence and

policy.

Research Capacity

Strengthening

To improve the health status

of its people and to contribute

to its social and economic

development a systems

approach at the country level

is needed. This is mandatory

to provide a supportive

environment for sustainable

growth and scaling up of a

countrys research capacity.

Education and Leadership

Especially in times of limitedresources we need well-trained

leaders to build high-performing

and sustainable health systems.

They will be change agents

who will better serve the needs

identied by their communities,thereby contributing to

the improvement of health

outcomes and health equity.

In addition we need to develop

interdisciplinary strategies

for a more effective health

communication system.

How can we clearly ar ticulate

and support the synergies

between health and the other

sectors? How can we develop

shared solutions to drive

people-centered, inclusive

development?The World Health Summit

2013will bring together

representatives from civil

society, academia, the

private sector, governments,

international health and

development agencies as

well as students and young

professionals from all health-related elds. One main goal isto really learn from one another,

leverage the best ideas, and

make a difference.

Global Health and

Development

The outcome document of

the Rio+20 United NationsConference on Sustainable

Development gives health acentral place as a precondition

for, and an outcome and

an indicator of all three

dimensions of sustainable

development, economic

growth, social improvement

and environmental protection.Health must become part of

the post-2015 development

agenda. This agenda presents

an opportunity to rethink what

makes development inclusive,

innovative and relevant for

everyone.

Universal Health Coverage

The importance of universalhealth coverage in enhancing

health, social cohesion and

sustainable human and

economic development is

emphasized. The goal of

universal health coverage is

to ensure that everyone has

access to the health services

he or she needs without

suffering nancial hardships.It is therefore an essential

component of sustainable

development and poverty

reduction.

Foreign Policy and Health

The links between health,

poverty alleviation and

development, as well as the

role of health in the formulationand implementation of foreign

policy have been recognized in

the UN Resolution on GlobalHealth and Foreign Policy.

Global Health affects all the

core functions of foreign policy:

achieving security, creating

economic wealth, supporting

development in low-income

countries and protecting humandignity.

Research and Innovation

Cross-sector collaborations

between global health and

foreign policy programs and

new capacity building initiatives

wealth creation, urbanization, aging issues and

growing prevalence of chronic diseases will also

not insurmountable. Health care leaders will be
