COHRED Statements highlight important issues in health research for development. They are issued whenever there is a need to examine and emphasize issues in ‘research for health’ that make research work … for everyone. Statements are prepared by COHRED and in partnership with other organisations if this helps advance solutions to the issues raised.
Health research is a key instrument to reduce poverty and improve health across the globe. The way in which research is done and the questions it addresses make an essential difference between health research that is a tool to deliver technical solutions to those who can afford them; or health research as central element of alleviating human suffering, improving health and health equity, and making development activities sustainable.
COHRED encourages feedback, debate and the sharing of experiences on the concepts presented in this report. Please respond to rvp@cohred.org
