The World Health Report 2012 that wasn't.

In their September editorial, the PLOS Medicine Editors discuss the history and outcomes of a collaboration with the World Health Organization, originally announced in January 2011, and planned to culminate in a collection coinciding with the launch of the World Health Report 2012. The collaboration commenced with a Call for Papers and has resulted in a Collection drawing together papers from across the PLOS journals expanding on the intended theme of The World Health Report 2012, “No Health Without Research”. The collection highlights new ideas, innovative thinking, and pragmatic advice on how to strengthen health research systems. The editorial also comments on the apparent shift in focus of the World Health Report and its delay to 2013.
