This session was on and we had some lively small group discussions on how we can deliver integrated health services for these diseases which include .

Current health delivery systems in most countries (including Australia) are disease specific. This means that we have vertical funding models and service delivery where multiple services can end up being delivered into a single community.

If you have read this far and feel motivated to help us continue this work, please donate. No contribution is too small or too big.
