What is the theme?
This year's competition focuses on "Innovating for the health of all".
"Innovation" encompasses the entire process from the generation of new
ideas, to their transformation into something useful, to their
implementation. Innovation for health includes the development of new and
more cost-effective services, products, methods, management practices and
policies to improve health outcomes. It involves both social and
technological innovation.

The 40 most outstanding essays will be published in an anthology and the
authors are featured one by one on the Global Forum's home page throughout
the year. From these, five or six winners from different geographical
regions will be invited to Forum 2009, with all expenses paid (Havana, Cuba,
from 16 to 20 November). http://www.globalforumhealth.org/shlinks/f2009.php
