Health Cooperation beyond aid

Medicus Mundi International (MMI) International health cooperation in today’s world calls for a major renewal. We need less of the classical Official Development Aid (ODA) approach, and more of modern, second-generation, cooperation principles and practices among countries and civil society organizations which can catalyze national health efforts and resources. With this public side event to the Annual General Assembly of the MMI Network and to the World Health Assembly, the MMI working group on effective health cooperation (MMI EHC) aims at deepening the conversation on the future of health development cooperation launched last year in a workshop in Berlin. Civil society colleagues, representatives of institutions working in the field of development cooperation and all WHA delegates are most welcome to join us.
