Health and Environment Community of Practice Workshop

A GEO Health and Environment CoP workshop is to be held on 27-28 (and possibly 29) July, 2010, hosted by the French space agency, CNES.
This workshop will focus on involving new members and developing new areas of activities including vibrio diseases, dengue fever, plague and others to be proposed. It will also seek to further develop existing GEO tasks, including health information systems, warning and prediction systems and end-to-end projects including malaria, meningitis and Lyme disease, following up the discussions that are taking place now in Pretoria at the GEO Work Plan Symposium. The outcomes of the workshop will contribute to developing the Health showcase at the GEO 2010 Ministerial Summit.
