The GENI Satellite Session brings together key note presentations by the World Bank, OECD and possibly WHO about their key priorities. Up to 12 leading health economists from across the globe will participate as Panel members during the session to discuss methodological issues, country specific initiatives and direction setting in light of their own experiences and the presentations by the World Bank, OECD and WHO. Session participants will also contribute to identifying priorities.
