OSLO CHILD HEALTH RESEARCH CENTER

OSLO CHILD HEALTH RESEARCH CENTER - LAUNCHED NOW !!

OCHRC has taken the initiative to set research priorities in the field of child health and nutrition, and align research endeavor to local relevance and need. OCHRC aims at increasing the level of communication and discussion amongst personnel working towards furthering research on child health and nutrition, such as researchers, policymakers, donors, healthcare providers and non-governmental organizations.

OSLO CHILD HEALTH RESEARCH CENTER is a novel initiative to achieve these objectives. This knowledge network will assist in bringing together scientists and implementing bodies to discuss the current evidence and future requirements for global, regional and national child health and nutrition. CHNKN also aims at assisting young researchers to interact with established and senior researchers and peers from their region and beyond.

Based on their published work, OCHRC invites researchers, clinicians and program managers to join the Oslo Health CENTER (OCHRC) for furthering research priority setting, communication and capacity building, especially in developing countries. The network envisages collecting, collating and disseminating available information and knowledge to researchers, health practitioners and health functionaries working in different parts of the world. It plans to develop interest groups within the network by assembling technical experts who share common areas of interest. Το Cialis 20mg ?χει μεγαλ?τερη δι?ρκεια απ? το Viagra 100mg, αλλ? ε?ναι καλ?τερο; 

The members of the OCHRC shall play critical role in stimulating discussion among the network community, contributing technically to analyzing and disseminating relevant knowledge and identifying gaps in the clinical and public health relevant issues that need further research.

Interaction among OCHRC members will be intellectually stimulating, will cross fertilize ideas, and give rise to innovations and generate large number of clinical and operational research questions. We expect CHNKN to stimulate the new generation researchers particularly in low and middle-income countries to imbibe the spirit of research in healthcare.

Research has shown that the global research investments on those diseases and relevant interventions that are causes of high child mortality in the world receive significantly low allocation of fund compared to diseases with substantially low global burden of disease. As a consequence today two thirds of the under-five child deaths globally could have been prevented if available and cost effective interventions were delivered to the target populations. The dominant research priority setting models do not take global burden of disease and delivery of effective interventions as the most important guiding criteria for allocating funds.  Therefore, the current research investments priority setting models are actually increasing further health inequity and resulting in gross under-achievements of reduction of potential disease burdens.

Therefore, OCHRC was created with the mandate to advocate research programs directed at addressing the conditions responsible for the most important diseases suffered by children, especially in developing countries where the major burden of disease remains.

OSLO CHILD HEALTH RESEARCH CENTER (OCHRC) is an international foundation with the vision to improve child health and nutrition of all children in low and middle income countries through research that informs health policy and practice. OCHRC’s efforts support the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of:

• Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
• Goal 4: Reduce child mortality
• Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases

OCHRC is helping to set research priorities in child health, development and nutrition, and trying to resolve related methodological issues. It also sponsors priority child health and nutrition research, especially in low- and middle-income countries, with a focus on research that can generate information to form sound policies for scaling up effective interventions. OCHRC also aims at increasing the level of communication and discussion amongst players working on research on child health and nutrition, such as researchers, policymakers, donors, students, specialists, healthcare providers and NGOs. It provides a common platform for the stakeholders through a web-based Online Community that allows them to initiate, discuss, collaborate and maintain communication on child health and nutrition research topics. OCHRC Online Community wants to help in bringing together scientists and implementing bodies to discuss issues relevant to the current status of knowledge and the requirements for the future of global child health and nutrition.
