Calcium and vitamin D for osteoporotic fracture risk
Abstract
632 www.thelancet.com Vol 370 August 25, 2007 action, GHWA has launched four global task forces: fast-tracking train ing and education, ameliorating harmful aspects of migration, harmonising HIV eff orts with health systems, and charting feasible fi nancing options. In partnership with WHO, GHWA has supported development of tools and guidelines for workforce planning and management. All of these new developments will be presented in Kampala. The Kampala Forum comes at a critical moment when problem recognition has grown enormously but eff ect ive solutions are only beginning to be tested and valid ated. Participants with real-world experiences and early research results will be welcomed at this Forum. The Lancet will publish a special issue on human resources for health the week before the Forum, and now invites for high-quality research papers to be sub mitted on this subject by Nov 1, 2007. The Forum meshes well with current movements to revitalise primary health care on the 60th anniversary of WHO, 30 years after Alma Ata. Kampala promises to be an exciting and critical next step for achieving global goals and re-energising the movement for better health in the 21st century.
