Further Highlights

World Health Summit Night

The World Health Summit brings together about 1.400 participants from all over the world, sharing discussions, symposia, keynote speeches and working sessions. But such a forum for professionals from all the different fields of health care does not unfold its true impact on panel discussions alone.

Hence, a special World Health Summit Night (Oct. 22nd, 7:00 pm) is being organized for speakers, participants, and guests. The prestigious “Hamburger Bahnhof” in Berlin offers an excellent framework and atmosphere for an evening of informal exchange and networking, including light snacks, drinks and live music.

Enjoy a relaxed evening with old friends and new colleagues.

Tickets are strictly limited to 500, the final charge is on sale now. Prizes are:

30 € for Participants
20 € for Students
50 € for External Guests

New Voices in Global Health

The New Voices in Global Health (NVGH) is a competitive abstract submission and selection program designed to highlight important research, policy and advocacy initiatives of new and future leaders in global health, and empower participants with global health advocacy skills.

Selected participants have the opportunity to make a presentation at the World Health Summit 2012. The accepted researchers will participate in either the NVGH forum session or the NVGH poster presentation session. Selected abstracts will be published in a special booklet available at the World Health Summit and on The Lancet´s website.

The selected Issues are relevant, reflect current challenges, show originality and will spark the interest of conference participants and the readers of The Lancet.
