At the request of several international relief organizations, the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative and Dartmouth Medical School formed this annual forum in 2006 with the goal of providing a platform for dialogue on operational issues. The 2007 Humanitarian Health Conference at Harvard University advanced the outcomes of the inaugural conference hosted in 2006 by Dartmouth Medical School. Four Working Group themes were identified by the planning committee and participants as the most pressing topics in the health sector of humanitarian response. Over three days, 130 senior administrators, technical experts, policy planners, and field officers sought to outline recent progress, major gaps, technical and training needs
