    The Network had agreed on many areas for the collaboration and one of the activities is the organizing of the International conference to provide opportunity for younger generation of researchers to share their work and to learn from each other. Consequently, the Network has annually organized an International conference on Public Health, known as: International conference on Public health among Greater Mekong Sub-region Countries (GMS-ICPH) annually for 9 times and the 10th round will be conducted in Kunming, by the School of Public Health of the Kunming Medical University. 

    In 2018, the 10th GMS-ICPH is themed “Health Equity and Response of Crisis”. Under this theme, it is likely that the conference could bring together health personnel, academic and researchers from different countries, especially among the Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) to share their expertise, experiences and research findings on a common platform that can strengthen public health actions, academic and research collaboration within and beyond the region. In addition, the conference may also provide opportunities for more scientific exchange on knowledge and research on Health Equity and Response of Crisis in the region.
