WHO/PLoS Collection “No Health Without Research”: A Call for Papers

2011-03-01

The World Health Report (WHR) for 2012 will be on the theme of “No Health without Research”. This flagship report from WHO will, for the first time in its history, focus on research for better health. The primary target audience of the report will be ministers of health in the WHO member states, and the goal of the report is to provide new ideas, innovative thinking, and pragmatic advice for member states on how to strengthen their own health research systems. The report will have the three following aims.

To show that research is important for meeting health needs and improving health outcomes;

  1. To encourage countries to therefore invest more resources in developing and strengthening their national health research systems;
  2. To argue that countries should not see research as an expense or as an afterthought, but as an investment for a better, healthier future.
