Climate change and women’s cancer in the Mena region
Introduction: Climate change poses a significant threat to public health, exacerbating health inequalities. Women in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, identified as high-risk, are particularly affected. Objective: This study investigates the influence of rising temperatures on cancer prevalence and mortality among women in the MENA region, filling critical knowledge gaps. Methods: We employed Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) analysi…
Global Health Governance and the WHO Pandemic Agreement
The WHO Pandemic Agreement introduces important institutional and financing measures, but persistent gaps remain in enforcement, technology transfer, and inclusive implementation. Strengthening these domains is crucial to achieving equitable and resilient preparedness. By systematically linking evidence from the pandemic preparedness literature to Treaty provisions, this study offers a novel analytical framework for assessing how global health tr…
Refugee Health Inclusion
This commentary examines how structural constraints shape health access in refugee camps. It stems from a recent workshop on refugee health and reflects an interdisciplinary, policy‐focused dialogue. We argue that humanitarian aid alone is insufficient. Instead, long‐term, rights‐based approaches are needed. Donor dependency, legal exclusion and geopolitical dynamics undermine access to care. These challenges create artificial divides between cam…
Covid-19 vaccine intercountry distribution inequality and its underlying factors
Introduction: Inequitable access to COVID-19 vaccines among countries is a pressing global health issue. Factors such as economic power, political power, political stability, and health system strength contribute to disparities in vaccine distribution. This study aims to assess the inequality in vaccine distribution among countries based on these factors and identify their relationship with COVID-19 vaccine distribution. Methods: , political stab…
Global health governance performance during Covid-19, what needs to be changed? a delphi survey study
BACKGROUND: Covid-19 is not the first pandemic to challenge GHG. Preceding outbreaks and epidemics were sources of continuous debate on GHG leadership and structure resulting in its current structure. However, Covid-19 proved the presence of many deficits in the current GHG. The response to the Covid-19 pandemic is a cumulative result of all policies and actions of different governments and agencies active in global health. Assessing how Covid-19…
Ethical Dimensions of Public Health Actions and Policies With Special Focus on Covid-19
During pandemics, the ethicists, public health professionals, and human rights advocates raise a red flag about different public health actions that should, at best, be addressed through integrated, global policies. How to rationalize the healthcare resources and prioritize the cases is not a recent challenge but the serious concern about that is how to achieve this while not increasing the vulnerability of the disadvantaged population. Healthcar…
