At the NIH event, seven of the most outstanding articles from these journals were presented, addressing critical issues of global health research and policy and examining interventions reduce health-care inequities among the poor. These articles were selected by a panel of NIH and CSE experts, and the subject areas included: childbirth safety, HIV/AIDS, malaria treatment, food insufficiency and sexual behavior, interventions to improve child survival, physician brain drain from the developing world, and influenza's impact on children. The articles were published in outstanding journals - BMJ, AIDS Patient Care and STDs, American Journal of Public Health, PLoS Medicine, JAMA, Journal of Infectious Diseases, and Obstetrics & Gynecology. Croatian research in this area faired well in the selection process for the global presentation.
