The annual meeting was held in Nagasaki Japan on October 4–5, 2014 where I proposed the theme of the meeting ‘Paradigm shift from Tropical Medicine to Global health’ to emphasize such philosophy is growing so quickly in the whole world. North to south type stereotype cooperation had been already ended and we are gradually moving to the next stage of the cooperation named equal responsibility to the global health and we organized seven symposiums named, 1. Addressing equity in health: developing health products in need Chaired by Kiyoshi Kita and Laothavorn Juntra S1-01 Forty years of malaria vaccine development: advances and challenges! Engers Howard (Armauer Hansen Research Institute) S1-02 Traditional Herbal Medicine for the Control of Tropical Diseases Na-Bangchang Kesara (Chulabhorn International College of Medicine, Thammasat University, Thailand) S1-03 Treatment of parasitic skin diseases with dimeticones—a new family of compounds with a purely physical mode of action Hermann Feldmeier (Institute of Microbiology and Hygiene, Campus Benjamin Franklin, Charité University Medicine, Berlin, Germany) 2. Mass drug administration (MDA) in the present status Chaired by Akira Kaneko and Shinjiro Hamano S2-01 MDA - Lymphatic Filariasis Kazuyo Ichimori (Lymphatic Filariasis Elimination, Department of Control of Neglected Tropical Diseases, World Health Organization) S2-02 Morbidity control of schistosomiasis by mass drug administration: How can we do it best and what will it take to move on to elimination? Colley Daniel G. (University of Georgia, USA) S2-03 The research experience of Artemisinin and ACTS in China, the study of how to elimination malaria by ACTS Song Jianping, Deng Changsheng (Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine) 3.
