5th Public Health Association of South Africa (PHASA) Conference

2009-11-30 to 2009-12-02

Venue: Albert Luthuli Convention Centre - Durban (KwaZulu-Natal)
Theme: Millennium Development Goals: Measuring progress in public health in South Africa

Assessment of progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) during 2008 (the midpoint) revealed a mixed picture: many health goals remain off target, and huge inequities remain between and within countries. Existing evidence suggests that very few, if any, of the MDGs will be achieved in sub-Saharan Africa. The 2009 PHASA Conference is therefore aptly focused on the MDGs and measuring their progress from a public health perspective. An exciting programme is being put together of local and international speakers, including policy makers, leading local and international academics and international organisations, such as the World Health Organisation (WHO).
