9th World Congress on Health Economics: Celebrating Health Economics

Invitation to "Celebrate Health Economics"
International Health Economics Association (iHEA) is pleased to invite you to join in the Celebration of Health Economics at her 9th World Congress in Sydney in July 2013.
The theme is Celebrating Health Economics. 2013 will mark fifty years since the publication of Kenneth Arrow’s ‘Uncertainty and the welfare economics of medical care’ in The American Economic Review. Its significance is such that many regard it as the seminal work in health economics, and date the founding of this discipline from then.
Social events include: welcome to Country ceremony – Sunday & Powerhouse Museum Gala - Tuesday

Conceived over fifty (50) years ago, the Safari Park Hotel & Casino has grown from a British Army officers retreat center during the colonial period to its current status as a World renowned inland resort. Surrounded by sprawling fifty (50) acre rich manicured gardens, the Hotel combines the intrigue of African architecture and art with an infrastructure on the cutting edge of technology.

It is the leading leisure and largest conference hotel in East and Central Africa, offering a unique combination of business and relaxation.

The Safari Park Hotel was established in Kenya in the year 1967. In 1974 it acquired the then Spread Eagle Hotel (which was a small hotel ran by the Boswell Family). The name was changed to Safari Park Hotel & Country Club. It had only 105 rooms and a Three ‘3’ Star facility.

In 1985 the Hotel got burnt by a fire outbreak, this slowed down the development of the Hotel. In 1986 a seven (7) Phase renovation plan was put underway to create the new look of Safari Park Hotel & Casino.

A grand opening of the current Safari Park Hotel & Casino was officiated by His Excellency the retired President, Daniel Arap Moi on 11th November 1992.

Upgrading and improvement of facilities continues in order to match the speed of technological changes and to always meet the demands of the ever changing world.
