7/8th - Medsin Global Health Conference: The Bottom Line
This year we will be exploring the implications of the bottom line for global health...What is the bottom line? Traditionally, it is the measurement of corporate profit. In the context of global health and development it is often synonymous with the minimum standard - the $1.25 per day poverty line, the global warming 2 degrees Celcius limit and nearly all of the Millenium Development Goals. Lines abound and are a popular method for driving global health policy goals. But are they the right approach? And is there a better bottom line? As we move into the post-2015 era these questions are more relevant than ever.
Over this weekend we aim to bring together students from all over the country to explore issues of corporate sustainability, development policy and climate change. Most importantly, we want to provide a space for us all to share ideas, get inspired and generate action.
