The theme of the Conference is Achieving Universal Health Coverage for primary healthcare through SM&SF route.
The Global Health Conference on SM&SF will strengthen the practice of social franchising and social marketing and provide important lessons based on inputs from policy makers, healthcare providers, and corporate players in health sector, International donors and funding agencies as well as build political buy-in for supporting the same. We believe that under Public Private Partnership (PPP), Social Franchising and Social Marketing are proven strategies for facilitating “social and economic inclusion” in achievement of Universal Health Coverage. The main objectives of the conference are to:
1. Showcase successful PPP, SM&SF models that have contributed to strengthening primary health care services delivery.
2. Sensitize policy makers and prospective private sector partners to position SM&SF as a strategy for achieving primary health and development targets by countries.
3. Provide a platform for key SM&SF stakeholders to identify best practices globally for its replication, map the support required from public & private sector and develop a framework for further action.
4. Encourage cross learning’s among social franchising and social marketing stakeholders
It is expected that there would be around 600 participants. Participants would include Social Marketing and Social Franchising program implementers across globe, UN agencies, donors, policy makers, academicians, INGOS & NGOs, pharmaceutical companies, public health experts, PSUs, rural marketing companies, medical associations and private sector working in public health. In addition, there would be special invitees, technical experts and guest speakers from SM&SF sectors.
