- Establish limits on health care costs, and pharmaceutical costs.
- Enhancing global health leadership and partnerships through both the public and private sector.
What is important to keep in mind is that when we (as public health professionals) reach out in these different areas, we have to remember that the world is diverse and each public health initiative will have its unique challenges. One other important point is that the world is full of very educated people who may be interested in collaborating with you in your ideas and initiatives and you shouldn't be afraid to contact them for guidance or advice.

hey alexis, great insights on mobilizing communities, especially about collaboration. and i love all your pictures!
Good thoughts...but I don't know if I agree with the quote haha. There are always ways to advertise your 'better option', and if we wait around for them to conclude they have no other option, it might be too late. We can even drill it into their heads about their potential downfalls if they don't take a preventive approach in global health.
