Kurzbeschreibung: It is our distinct pleasure to welcome all participants to the 6th International Conference on Priorities in Health Care. No matter what your background -- health professionals, administrators, economists, policy makers, philosophers, ethicists, and scholars -- you will find that Toronto '06 will be an exhilarating and stimulating opportunity to share experiences and cutting-edge innovations regarding priority setting in healthcare, and to network with a community of world leaders from over 80 countries who are shaping priority setting practices locally and globally. All this in one of the world's most vibrant and exciting cities!

The theme of this year's conference is Real World Priority Setting - Shaping priority setting around real life innovative practices. (Please refer to the detailed conference material describing the themes and streams that will be featured at Toronto '06). This conference is a vital element in the development of modern health systems. Priority setting is arguably the most important health system issue of the 21st century. It directly determines the sustainability and quality of health systems, locally, nationally and globally. Moreover, priority setting decisions create and support either equity or inequity, justice or injustice. This is a crucial 'moment in time' to build on past learning and forge innovative improvements in real world priority setting contexts -- for the good of all the world's people.

Toronto '06, the sixth in a series of international meetings on health priorities, is the first to be held in North America! Previous meetings were held in Stockholm (1996), London (1998), Amsterdam (2000), Oslo (2002) and Wellington (2004).
