Are members interested in or know of this meeting in Kenya?

  2.   Essential medicines and health products
    
  3.   Health workforce
    
  4.   National health policies
    
  5.   Health statistics and information systems
    
  6.   Service delivery and safety
    

Abstract submissions are due June 5.

I certainly would have been interested in such a meeting but the timing is much too close. I don’t know if Jonathan Payne might be free to attend. CIEL and OCL are certainly interested in the terminology and indicators which would be used by most of these systems.
