World Health Report 2012 Research for Health

WHY? Demand-ongoing and future health threats will require more research Concern- emerging research areas present potential benefits but also threats & harms Desire for accountability-growing expectation that scientific evidence should inform decisions in health, and that impact of programmes are rigorously evaluated Drive for social justice-increasing concern that research be conducted ethically, be transparent & accountable, and its results accessible - so that benefits & outcomes are equitably shared by all Uncertainty and lack of trust
