Health Systems: New Approaches to Strengthening the System behind the Delivery of Services
9-11 am
Diplomat Ballroom | map
Hosted by: Health Systems 20/20

Strong health systems are necessary to meet health needs and demands, yet the need for health systems strengthening seems perennially to be discovered anew. In today’s world, unprecedented financial resources from the global health community have been mobilized to tackle selected major diseases, child mortality, maternal health, and HIV/AIDS. While some see the availability of resources as the key deficit to be addressed, without attention to health systems, the influx of resources risks falling short of solving the targeted problems and failing to attain sustainable changes. This session presents and invites discussion of the latest thinking on the major elements associated with strengthening health systems, where financing, governance, operations, and capacity building are integrated.
Panelists:
Derick Brinkerhoff, HS 20/20 | bio

Making It Work: Private Sector Partnerships to Improve Women’s Health
1-4 pm
Diplomat Ballroom | map
Expert Panel Hosted by the USAID PSP-One Project

The theme for this year’s Global Health Council Conference is “Partnerships for Health.” Come learn about partnerships before the conference and get a sneak preview of a range of different health partnerships, varying in type and scale. USAID’s PSP-One Project—a leader in private sector partnerships in health—offers you a chance to hear from both sides of a partnership to understand why more developing country private-sector individuals and organizations are engaging in efforts to improve women’s health. The partners will discuss, from their perspectives, what motivated them to enter into the partnership, their expectations, the obstacles they encountered and their views on the future of their partnerships.

The three examples demonstrate the various ways partnerships with the private sector help to improve women’s health in developing countries:
  1. Companies partnering with NGOs: Providing RH/FP and other health services to women workers, their families, and communities in Indonesia

Empire Ballroom | map
Hosted by: the Faith and Global Health Caucus

This panel will explore the following points:

What are the barriers that stand in the way of their greater involvement, both internally in the FBOs themselves and externally, among the donors?

Risky Business: How Better Demand Forecasting Can Save Money and Lives
4-6 pm
Capitol Room | map
Hosted by: the Center for Global Development

The success of global health programs largely depends on the availability of essential health products when and where they are needed. But weak links in the global health value chain are currently constraining on-the-ground access to drugs, vaccines and diagnostics – despite increased funding and ongoing scientific advances. Shortcomings in demand forecasting in particular have led to unnecessarily high prices, supply shortages, and reluctance to invest in R&D for developing country diseases.

This event marks the launch of a new report by the Global Health Forecasting Working Group, issuing key recommendations for donors to make strategic investments that would increase access to information and better align forecasting incentives, as well as suggestions for ways that donors could use innovative financing mechanisms to further reduce uncertainty and diversify and share risk in the supply chain. Their proposed improvements could have profound benefits for funders, suppliers and implementers in terms of both financial and health outcomes.

Featured speakers include:
  • Ruth Levine, Center for Global Development
  • Prashant Yadav, MIT-Zaragoza International Logistics Program
  • Mark Rilling, U.S. Agency for International Development
  • Neelam Sekhri, Healthcare Redesign Group
  • Jeffrey Sturchio, Merck & Co., Inc.

Hosted by: Merck & Co., Inc.

Merck & Co., Inc. has been engaged in the fight against HIV/AIDS for two decades. Through partnerships developed over the years with the public and private sectors, Merck has seen the difficulties companies often face in setting up HIV/AIDS workplace programs. However, effective measures exist that companies can undertake to manage the impact of HIV/AIDS on their business, while also demonstrating leadership in the community and the marketplace.

The new “Blueprint for Business Action on HIV/AIDS” is a free user-friendly tool developed with the support of Merck & Co., Inc., by a predominantly African editorial board for use by African companies of all sizes – small, medium and large –in designing and implementing comprehensive HIV/AIDS workplace programs. The tool, available in French and English, shows how prevention and treatment programs in the workplace cannot only make an important contribution to fighting the HIV/AIDS pandemic, but also are a sound business decision.

Featuring:

Donald DeKorte, Manager for HIV access programs at MSD Interpharma - a subsidiary of Merck & Co. Inc. - will discuss the development of the Blueprint, how it should be utilized, and present case studies of companies that have already implemented the practices outlined in the toolkit.

The following Editorial Board Members will be available to discuss the development and implementation of the Blueprint for Business:
