The goal of the Pacific Health Summit is to transform global healthcare through the prevention, early detection, and early treatment of disease through the use of emerging science and technology.

This goal could not be realized without collaboration from experts and an open and spirited dialogue on the issues. The organizers of the Summit are pleased to welcome the best minds in science, policy, medical practice, research and public health from around the Pacific Rim. The featured participants at Summit 2005 have started down a path towards realistic policy solutions that will impact how disease is detected and treated worldwide.
