The 63rd UN Department of Public Information/Non-Governmental Organization Conference will be held in Melbourne from 30 August to 1September 2010.
The Conference will bring together hundreds of NGO representatives from around the world to discuss global health as it relates to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Health issues are central to the MDGs, which are the internationally agreed targets for reducing poverty. Goals include reducing child mortality, improving maternal health and combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other preventable diseases.
Improving the health of men, women and children in developing countries ensures that the poor can expand their range of choices, improve their productivity and participate more fully in society.
Tribal Link Foundation is an executive member of the conference planning committee, chairing the sub-committee on Diversity and Indigenous Participation. Alongside our Australian co-chairs, we have worked to ensure that indigenous health issues receive equal exposure at the conference.
