Cher(è)s collègues
Je suis heureux de vous informer que le pays hôte de la 5ème conference d’AfHEA, qui sera tenue du 11 au 14 mars 2019, sera le Ghana. Ci-dessous, nous vous expliquons le processus et les critères suivis par le Conseil d’Administration (CA) pour aboutir à cette decision.
{lang en}Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to inform you that the host country for the 5th AfHEA Scientific Conference, to take place from 11 – 14 March 2019, will be Ghana! Read on for a summary of how this decision was arrived at.
The AfHEA Board and Executives decided to adopt an open and transparent process in selecting the host country for the 2019 conference. This was done to ensure transparency and fair participation from all AfHEA member countries, and as part of continuous improvement of our processes and procedures. In the process, AfHEA came up with a total of 14 criteria (see Table 1 below) to assess the likelihood of countries to host the 2019 AfHEA conference. Initially, following the 2016 conference in Rabat, five countries indicated an interest in or were suggested for bidding to host the next conference.
AfHEA is pleased to announce the results of the Primary Health Care (PHC) financing papers competition that ran from March to June 2015. The winning abstracts were selected following a competitive blinded review process by a 12-member panel led by Dr. John Ataguba of University of Cape Town. The total number of abstracts received was 83; of which 15 were French and 68 were English. A total of 67 abstracts had lead male authors (representing 81%) and 16 had…
