I’m leaving Berkeley early to hike a short segment of the Appalachian Trail this Memorial Day weekend before next week’s conference. There will be two presentations on OBA in East Africa. Tuesday 3-5pm Claus Janisch will talk about the Kenya OBA program for targeted subsidies for antenatal and maternal delivery services. Look for the panel A2: “Getting Creative: Innovative Models for Health Care Financing“.

Thursday 2:30-4:30 Richard Lowe presents the eponymous Uganda OBA program’s “Output-Based Aid Program to Treat Sexually Transmitted Infections in Uganda”. Not sure why it’s currently booked in the “Chronic Disease” roundtable section; it’s scheduled for the Ambassador Ballroom (hotel map). I’ll update this post if the room changes. Readers may be interested too checking out the Abt Associates’ Private Sector panel scheduled 1-4:30pm Tuesday.

From Jaspal:

I’ll be checking in to the conference on Monday night and will be there through the end of the week.  On Thursday (29-May), I’ll participate in the Human Resources in Health, Community Health Workers poster session.  I’m still planning my schedule for the week, but do know I’ll attend the Get Smart: Technology and Community Health session hosted by AED.
