The Canadian Conference on Global Health remains the only annual
conference in Canada that focuses primarily on global health and health in
development, and the only Canadian peer review forum for knowledge building and
program development related to global health and development. It is the primary
space for Canadians working in global health to connect annually with each other
and our partners in developing countries.
