[CARPA] RE: Garma

[Tim Hannah]

Tanya, I think I'll try and get to it. I attended 7yrs ago just before I
started with KWHB. KWHB and Congress had their own conference on the
side. It was a great introduction to aboriginal culture and health
problems. A bit overwhelming but unforgettable. Tim

Subject: Garma

 

Hi all, 

I'm wondering if there are any health professionals who are interested
in attending the next Garma together. The subject this year is
"Indigenous health: real solutions for a chronic problem".  The subjects
to be included are (as per the website):

*         Traditional healing 

*         Maternal/child health services (two-way) 

*         Relationships to make things work - social determinants in
public health 

*         Infectious disease control that makes a real difference 

*         Health advice/education: effective ways of getting the
messages across 

 I've already sent in my 'expression of interest form'. 

I remember going to the 2nd Garma in 2000, where we had the AMSANT
conference at the same time. Any chance of something like that happening
again?

Sincerely,

Tanya
