We invited Prof. Andrew J. Macnab, Editor in Chief, Global Health Management Journal, to write the first editorial paper and summarize the importance of ICASH in on the need for global health care solutions.
Global Health Management Journal was established by the founders of ICASH to be a platform for presenting the outcome of projects intended to define where scientific, educational, technological and social innovation can be applied to improve health. This first edition highlights three of the presentations made at ICASH 2017.
The journal will be valuable in this regard, as it will provide a forum for young investigators to describe bold scientific ideas and social innovations able to save and improve lives alongside reports of new forms of cooperation and effective health services delivery. This combination of innovations that integrate science and technology with education and social change together will meet the recognized need for greater understanding of “what works and why” and in turn contribute to more sustainable health improvements for society as a whole.
