    Dear INFORMS members: 

    Happy new year to everyone!

    As you may know, INFORMS Healthcare 2017 will be held in Rotterdam, Netherlands, July 2017. The conference website is here.  

    Myself (Hari Balasubramanian) and Chaitra Gopalappa of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst are organizing a cluster on healthcare in low income settings and developing countries, broadly defined. This could mean community health centers in medically underserved areas in the developed world, or efforts in developing countries. The scope of the work could be policy or economic issues or something more granular, such as operational issues at the day to day level.  We are quite open all types of studies. 

    We invite you to:

    1) Give a talk at INFORMS Healthcare on the above themes;

    2) Organize a session consisting of 3 talks on the above themes.

    Please email me (Hari Balasubramanian: hbalasub at umass dot edu) or Chaitra Gopalappa (chaitrag at umass dot edu) if you are interested in either of the above. We will provide you with more details. Thank you very much!
