Abstract:
|
In July 2011 the ASA Friends of Australasia organised the first International Conference for Health Statistics in the Pacific Islands. To the best of our knowledge this is the first statistics conference to ever be held within the Pacific Islands in Australasia. During this session you will hear from the ICHSPI Conference Chair about his experiences in organizing this conference and his advice for statistical educators involved in training within the developing nation context.
This conference was held in Suva, Fiji, and was organised in partnership with a number of other ASA groups (including the Health Policy Statistics Section and Statistics Without Borders) and a number of groups within Australasia (including the Fiji School of Medicine, the University of the South Pacific, and the Statistical Society of Australia).
This round-table will be led by Mark Griffin, Chair of the Friends of Australasia.
