Montreux Statement from the Steering Committee of the First Global Symposium on Health Systems Research
From November 16-19, 2010, 1,200 participants from over 100 countries gathered in Montreux, Switzerland for the First Global Symposium on health systems research. Under the theme ‘Science to accelerate universal coverage’ the Symposium reviewed state-of-the art research and discussed strategies for strengthening the field of health systems research. After five days of keynotes, plenaries, concurrent sessions, satellites and informal discussions and debates, the Steering Committee recognizes that there is an enormous energy to move forward with a further agenda of action reflecting the spirit and commitment that brought us to Montreux from Mexico and Mali. This statement outlines the agenda.
