In 2012, the global health community is at a crossroads – politically, socially, economically and technologically. Facing some of the largest health challenges in history, we must critically re-think our approaches, our goals and our tools to maximise opportunities for meaningful progress.

In this latest post from my new PLOS Blog Translational Global Health, I explore three quick thought-bites, which I will build on in the coming months. A beginning for discussion and ideas.

    I do not think you should be posting promotional links to your blog on this site. It is intended for original stimulating writing equally exposed to its readers, not selectively chosen by those who opt to follow links.

    I would ask the Editor to remove your post until you can provide it in its entirety.

      Thanks Phillip,

      The Conversation and their Editors, who do a fantastic job, have a clear policy not to reblog articles from other sites. For columnists who write else-where though, it is acceptable to provide a link to the work if it is:
      a) relevant;
      b) open access;
      c) meets the same rigorous guidelines on CoI.

      This meets all three and I felt it would be enjoyed by the readers of this column.

      Hope this makes sense and thank you for the feedback.

      Alessandro
