Is it possible to forge synergies and partnership for affordable public health system that maximize the role not only of civil society but also private sector?
What' s about the role of social protection mechanisms? Nepal is going to have soon a public health insurance system. How will it work? Which kind of coverage will it have?

You can write about a specific health issue, you can talk about public policies for a better inclusive health system. You can also share about health funding and overall national strategies to achieve MDGs.

They add inches to your waistline, make a dent in your wallet, and can even make you depressed—so the news that Americans are buying less cakes, cookies, and pies than ever is more than welcome.
