I am pleased to present to you the final report from the 2007 Humanitarian Health Conference hosted by the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative and Dartmouth Medical School in Cambridge, Massachusetts this past September. This document contains the consensus statements and recommendations, developed over three days by over 100 humanitarian practitioners, on four key issues that impact humanitarian response. The report presents concrete, actionable next steps for more effective interventions that we hope will assist your organization in its programming activities.

The Humanitarian Health Conference is a unique forum that brings together a cross-section of the humanitarian health sector community: NGO leaders, field technicians, donor agencies, academic researchers, and policymakers. The outcomes of this event, presented here, reflect an unprecedented collaborative effort across organizations and among institutional agendas to professionalize the field of humanitarian response in a new era of accountability.
