Bringing Evidence to Public Health Policy Health Systems Research 2024 Asia Pacific Dialogue on health governance, policy and institutional frameworks for just and sustainable health systems

Evidence to public health policy

Background

The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIM Bangalore), and The George Institute for Global Health with support from Health Systems Global are organising the fourth edition of “Bringing Evidence to Public Health Policy” (EPHP) from September 5th to 7th at IIM Bangalore, India.

EPHP (bringing Evidence into Public Health Policy) has served as a unique platform for promoting exchanges among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers for better population health since 2010. Each EPHP aims to contribute to informed policy and action by focusing on concepts and initiatives that can make a significant difference to health through informed policymaking.

EPHP2024 aims to advance dialogue among researchers, policymakers, and decision-makers on “Health governance, policy and institutional frameworks for just and sustainable health systems”. This theme is derived from the eighth Global Symposium on Health Systems Research (HSR2024) (to be held from November 18th to 22nd in Nagasaki, Japan) but will focus on regional and national lessons in order to enhance exchange and develop lessons for reform and research in India and beyond. 

Themes

EPHP2024 seeks to explore the symposium's sub-themes, indicated below, with the addition of a theme mutually agreed upon by the Scientific Committee:

  1. Governance and institutional frameworks for complex health systems
  2. Governance to strengthen public health & address commercial and cultural determinants
  3. Stewardship of digital transformations including AI and big data
  4. Implementation Research: Innovations in method and translation

Each of the sub themes will be converted into a half-day session. Each session will feature a keynote talk by an Indian and international speaker highlighting the global and Indian scenario on a particular sub-theme followed by a panel discussion where policy makers, implementers, community representatives, academicians and change makers will offer some solutions to fill the current gaps. In addition to these plenaries, there will be space for researchers to present their research findings on various aspects of governance through oral presentations/ posters / art / photos etc. There will also be a skill building session on the 7th September for early career researchers.

Organisers

EPHP2024 is supported by a host of academic partners including the National Institute for Implementation Research on Non-Communicable Diseases (NIIR-NCD), the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp (ITM), the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), The National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS), the Institute of Public Health Bengaluru (IPH), and The George Institute for Global Health, India.
