The 2019 Symposium explored a number of themes and considerations to get to the heart of what it means – for all actors – to #DemocratizeGlobalHealth. To achieve health for all people, national health programs must be driven by country strategies, local leadership, and domestic resources rather than external donors or partners. Nearly 200 participants gathered together to take part in the day's event. For a recap of the conversation, view our report summary.
