At this side event to the 2016 Prince Mahidol Award Conference (PMAC), members of JCIE’s Global Health Working Group (GHWG) presented their draft policy recommendations for the G7 Ise-Shima Summit in May 2016 with an emphasis on governance for global health in response to and in preparation for health crises. Each sub-group of the GHWG will also present key findings from their studies that have been conducted to provide an evidence base for the GHWG policy recommendations.
The expected outputs from this side meeting were twofold: (1) To obtain comments and feedback from PMAC participants on draft policy recommendations for the G7 Ise-Shima Summit, and (2) to synergize the G7 process with the on-going global health policy debates to develop a concrete action plan for the G7 Summit agenda.
