Hemoglobinopathy Learning Collaborative

The International Public Health Learning Collaborative on Hemoglobinopathies Meeting was designed to create a forum for the exchange of information on hemoglobinopathies between countries, states, organizations, institutions, and/or partners who are interested in learning more about the methodologies of both federal and international programs. The objectives of the 1.5 day meeting were:

1. To provide participants with a basic understanding of Public Health surveillance and the process, tools, partnerships needed to create successful programs
2. To discuss lessons learned through the current programs funded through RuSH (Registry and Surveillance for Hemoglobinopathies)
3. To familiarize attendees with available resources for establishing, expanding, or enhancing their programs
4. To foster interaction and encourage partnership formation among the participants
