SUMMARY:Building Health and Security in Afghanistan
DESCRIPTION:Register here.\n\nConference registration fee: $50 (Payabl
 e at the door)\n\nPresident Obama recently announced a new strategy to
  guide US policy in Afghanistan and Pakistan. This strategy focuses th
 e U.S. Government efforts toward meeting one core goal: to disrupt, di
 smantle and defeat Al Qaeda and it safe havens in Pakistan, and to pre
 vent al Qaeda's return to Afghanistan and Pakistan. Reinforced was the
  need to use all elements of US national power; diplomatic, developmen
 t, military, economic and informational. In support of this strategy, 
 the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, in partnership 
 with the National Defense Universities Near East South Asia Center for
  Strategic Studies, will host a two-day conference entitled \"Building
  Health Security in Contemporary Afghanistan.\" The intent of this con
 ference is threefold. First is to explore the role of health in establ
 ishing and sustaining security and stability in a nation or region. Se
 cond is to discuss the role of the military in providing health servic
 es to a civilian population. Third and final is to identify/develop th
 e role of the US military in support of the overall U.S. Government ef
 fort to develop the Afghan Health System.\n\nThe first day of the conf
 erence will be open attendance with a target audience of senior policy
  makers from DoD in both security and health functional areas. The goa
 l of the day is to introduce health as a security issue and to discuss
  the multiple factors that impact/influence health in Afghanistan. The
  format will consist of three separate panels that will present and di
 scuss these issues. The first will address the geopolitical determinan
 ts of health, such as the 8-year drought, migrations, and narcotics. T
 he second will address emerging responses to those determinants, to in
 clude emerging development strategies from the region. The final panel
  will address strategic parameters relating to health in Afghanistan. 
 The first day will serve as a prelude to the more intensive second day
  of working groups.\n\nThe second day of the conference will consist o
 f invitation-only working groups designed to address specific issues c
 onfronting the civil sector health development effort. The goal of the
  day is to provide a forum to discuss an integrated health development
  approach to benefit both the overall civilian health system and that 
 of the Afghan National Army and Police.\n\nInvitations have been forwa
 rded to the Afghan Minister of Public Health, Afghan National Army Sur
 geon General, the Afghan National Police Surgeon General, and other in
 ternational partners active in the health arena.\n\nTo register, go to
