Research into Action, Issue 24
Topic: The Newsletter of the Council on Health Research for Development
Place: Geneva
Organization: COHRED
Description: The first National ENHR Congress on Priority Setting in South Africa was hosted by the DOH in 1996 and was attended by 77 organisations. The aims of the workshop were three-fold: to identify health research areas which address priority health problems, to develop a process for consensus building and to facilitate the establishment of an ENHR committee.
The congress achieved its aim of establishing a preliminary list of priority health problems and urgent research questions. This was achieved through consensus and participation of basic scientists, clinical researchers, administrators, health service providers, funders and representatives of professional associations. The Congress also provided an insight into the prioritisation process.
