Surgery under fire
Beyond buzzwords
BACKGROUND: Germany has increased its political and financial commitment for global health, but this needs to be backed by a robust global health research ecosystem with strong partnerships in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). OBJECTIVE: This article suggests pathways for empowering researchers to operate beyond their disciplinary silos and strengthen partnerships across sectors and countries. The authors identify barriers and enablers of…
Intersectoral collaboration and health system resilience during Covid-19
Health system resilience refers to the capacity of a health system to effectively anticipate, assimilate, adjust to and recuperate from unforeseen disruptions and pressures. Evidence indicates that low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have a double burden of dealing with the existing shortage of health resources in managing both non-emergency care and emergency care during epidemics. Intersectoral collaboration plays a pivotal role in managin…
Primary Health Care and Foreign Aid
The Declaration of Alma-Ata remains one of the momentous documents of public health. Its origins lie both in postwar efforts to improve population health in low-income countries and in social medicine promoted decades earlier in Europe. For industrialized countries in East and West, Alma-Ata, therefore, should have provided health-related guidelines both for domestic and foreign policy, though political interpretations of the social components of…
Silent Triage
The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced clinical care and health service provision in low-income and middle-income countries. Besides having no timely access to routine vaccination, services for non-SARS-CoV-2-related health conditions faced major restraints due to pandemic countermeasures. Serving as an example, outpatient visits, HIV tests conducted and the administration of the Diphtheria-Tetanus- Pertussis (DTP3) vaccine decreased significantly …
Between Foreign Politics and Humanitarian Neutrality
During the armed conflicts of decolonisation in Korea, Vietnam and the Congo in the 1950 s and 1960 s, both German states joined the competition between East and West by sending medical teams to conduct aid work. West German numerical advantages in funds and available staff were countered by East German governmental command of human resources and productive capacities such as the pharmaceutical industry. As a result, the German Democratic Republi…
The global health concept of the German government
Recognising global health as a rapidly emerging policy field, the German federal government recently released a national concept note for global health politics (July 10, 2013). As the German government could have a significant impact on health globally by making a coherent, evidence-informed, and long-term commitment in this field, we offer an initial appraisal of the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for development recognised in this do…
