It is our distinct pleasure to invite you to the 6th International Conference on Priorities in Health Care. No matter what your background you will find that Toronto ‘06 will be an exhilarating and stimulating opportunity to share experiences and cutting-edge innovations and network with a community of world leaders from over 80 countries who are shaping priority setting practices locally and globally.
The theme of this year’s conference is Real World Priority Setting - Shaping priority setting around real life innovative practices. This conference is a vital element in the development of modern health systems. Priority setting directly determines the sustainability and quality of health systems, locally, nationally and globally. Moreover, priority setting decisions create and support either equity or inequity, justice or injustice. This is a crucial ‘moment in time’ to build on past learning and forge innovative improvements in real world priority setting contexts — for the good of all the world’s people.
