ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

With any journal issue there are many people to be thanked behind the scenes. The issue would not have been possible without the support of the Dubai School of Government for hosting and organizing the conference in the first place which was the genesis for the special issue. We also extend our gratitude to the reviewers who gave of their time in reviewing the papers. The papers published here are much improved through the insights provided. For her contribution to the administrative support and ensuring the meeting of deadlines our thanks go to Fiona Wright the Connecting Health in Africa and Ireland Consortium (CHRAIC) project secretary at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI).
