SURREY — International health representatives, medical experts and researchers gathered in Surrey for the 2014 Canada India Networking Initiative (CINI) conference last week.
The four-day conference, which was held for days beginning on Thursday June 19 at Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel in Surrey, focused on health and civil society in four key areas, including nursing and allied health education, health-technology and the economy, chronic disease management, including innovations for sustainable health care, and the role of yoga, science and modern medicine in mental, social and physical wellness.
“CINI 2014 aims to provide a global platform for creative thinking, debate and purposeful action to help forge deeper links with civil society, specifically education, justice and health by encouraging greater engagement and identifying growth opportunities to boost Canada and India’s economies,” said Dr. Arun Garg, chair of CINI 2014 and Canada India Network Society, which organized the conference.
Representatives from several leading institutes in India will be among those joining in the discussions on practical solutions to improving health in the general population and, in particular, the South Asian population, both in Canada and South Asian countries. New research related to treatment, social and public policy, prevention and innovation will be showcased.
