The theme of the 2021 Canadian Conference on Global Health (CCGH) was ‘Rethinking Partnership Paradigms in Global Health,” a timely and impactful topic that centered on themes of compassion, equity, and fairness. Mirroring the spirit of partnership, the conference was co-chaired by a collaborative effort between Dr. Margaret Gyapong of the University of Health and Allied Services in Ho, Ghana and Dr. Alison Krentel of the University of Ottawa and Bruyère Research Institute in Ottawa. Long-time friends and colleagues, the co-chairs led this year’s CCGH with a spirit of both open-mindedness and reflection.
