Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The Health Sector Reform Symposium held on the 31st October 2013, sought to discuss past lessons and innovations in line with health sector reforms. It provided an opportunity for various players in the health sector to present, examine and discuss the research evidence that will guide the development of innovative strategies that are responsive to the needs and realities of the population being served. The Symposium showcased research studies conducted by the University’s students, graduates and faculty as well as other researchers and academics on key reform areas; provided a platform to lead the discourse on these reforms through the conduct of this Symposium and a commonplace for networking and building collaborations with national and regional partners. The Symposium was an informative and educational event inspiring the participators to develop techniques of better Health Care. Advancements in monitoring methods, patient care and systems reformation can allow for the development of emergency responses catering to the needs of the society.
