Excerpt
Opening of the session The Sixteenth session of the European Advisory Committee on Health Research (EACHR) took.place in Copenhagen from 20 to 22 February 1990. The meeting was opened by the Regional Director, Dr J.E. Asvall, who welcomed the newly appointed members of the Committee and noted the importance of the disciplinary mix represented by Committee members. In his opening remarks, Dr Asvall referred to the recent dramatic political changes in Europe which have influenced the development of new policies in the Region. The continuing increase in the number of AIDS cases was reported, though doubling time has also increased. In a brief review of EURO activities in the past year it was reported that EURO ran more than 90 I meetings in the period; the network within the Healthy Cities programme had expanded to include more than 200 cities; and, finally, the fact that 12-13 member states have now finalized national plans for health for all (HFA) was welcomed. The network for HFA is now truly inter-disciplinary incorporating EURO, Healthy Cities, medical associations, schools of public health and national ministries of health. Other networks which are in the process of development are those involving industrialists, professional groups and patient groups. Developments f rom the Global Advisory Conunittee on Health Research (ACHR) were reported by Dr Szczerban. The ACHR have biannual meetings and the new Chair, Professor Gaber, will take up his position from October 1991. The overview of the activities of the ACHR included a review of activities in a number of relevant sub-committees of ACHR, namely the Economy and Health Sub-Cormnittee, the Technology Transfer Sub-committee, the Injury Prevention Sub-Committee, and the Nutrition Research Sub-committee.
