We encourage three basic concepts in working together for a healthier future:

* Learn about the major causes of the current and future global disease and disability burden and what has and has not worked to control the causes of this burden.
* Act to treat current and prevent future disease and disability through trans-disciplinary research, raising awareness, and training of the global public health workforce.
* Share data and lessons learned to inform policy change and to develop more effective interventions.
