The (Canadian Coalition for Global Health Research ) is a Canada-based global network of people and institutions committed to promoting better and more equitable health worldwide through the production and use of knowledge. == History == The Coalition, a registered Canadian charity and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, began in 2001 as an informal network and has evolved through generous support from the Canadian International Development Agency, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Health Canada, the International Development Research Centre and other foundations.〔CCGHR Partnership Strategy; http://www.ccghr.ca/Resources/Documents/CCGHR_Partnership_Strategy-Policy_e.pdf.〕〔CCGHR Annual reports; http://www.ccghr.ca/Default.aspx?pageId=1051883〕〔Strategic Directions 2010–2014; http://www.ccghr.ca/Default.aspx?pageId=671078〕 Among the many, few of the facts that provoked founders of the Coalition to start this initiative were: *Global Health Inequities:Millions of people worldwide do not have access to essential health services. For example, each year 8 million children die needlessly and half a million mothers die unnecessarily during pregnancy; *The 'Know-Do' Gap: Much knowledge about what could make a difference is available, but individuals and institutions in developing countries often do not have access to this information, or lack the capacity to apply this knowledge *The '10/90' Gap: According to the Global Forum for Health Research, only 10% of the world's health research funding goes towards addressing the most pressing health issues affecting the poorest 90% of the world's population *Limited Linkages between Researchers and Policymakers: There are few incentives for individual researchers to connect their knowledge with larger processes. Researchers often believe that their work is finished when it is published. Similarly, policymakers often do not seek out existing knowledge that may be of critical value to their policies. *Lack of Capacities: Capacities to produce and use health knowledge, at the individual, institutional and system levels in developing countries, are weak *Need for greater coordination amongst Canadians: Canada has tremendous and unique expertise and resources to address these issues, but Canadian efforts are often fragmented. Our collective understanding about how to collaborate more effectively, including with developing country partners, is limited. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canadian Coalition for Global Health Research」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
