    THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO.
    AFRICA NEEDS TO DEVELOP THE AREA OF GLOBAL HEALTH RESEARCH SO THAT WE OFFER LOCALLY TAILORED SOLUTIONS AND INTERVENTIONS TO OUR INDIGENOUS PROBLEMS AS WE DO NOT ONLY SEE THEM, BUT UNDERSTAND AND LIVE WITH AND AMONG THEM.
    CONGRATULATIONS SWAZILAND!

    This is an interesting conference. Bringing in the general public and Community leaders in research forums will increase their understanding of research and its importance. The general public will start understanding local problems and may as well call for research on specific areas of interest locally.
