Event-Based Surveillance in mass gatherings
Introduction: Mass gatherings (MGs) attract large populations in specific places and times ranging from religious pilgrimages and cultural festivals to international sporting events. These events can drive rapid disease transmission, cross-border spread, and strain health systems requiring robust surveillance systems to detect health threats in real time. Event-Based Surveillance (EBS) offers a proactive approach to detecting such threats through…
Developing and Validating a Global Governance Framework for Health
The Delphi process validated a comprehensive and operational Global Governance for Health Framework. The GGFH complements the WHO Pandemic Agreement by addressing its unresolved governance, financing, and equity limitations and offers a structured roadmap to guide global pandemic preparedness and treaty implementation
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…
The Brain Drain of Egyptian Physicians and Its Driving Factors
Background: During the past years, brain drain has become an international problem. A shortage of human resources in the medical field revealed its challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the large number of medical school graduates in Egypt, the reports of the World Health Organization and the Egyptian Medical Syndicate indicate a yearly decline in the number of physicians in Egypt. The aim of this study is to determine the factors affe…
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…
Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy among parents in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
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…
The Associations between Mental Well-Being and Adherence to Physical Activity Guidelines in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease
The association between physical activity (PA) and mental well-being in individuals with a cardiovascular disease (CVD) is poorly studied. The objective of this study was to assess the association between mental well-being and adherence to the recommended guidelines for PA in a Scottish adult population with CVD. The study used data from 3128 adults who had CVD conditions (1547 men and 1581 women; mean age 63.29 years) who participated in the Sco…
Prevalence and Perception of Obesity Among Sub-Saharan Africans in Korea
A Comparison of Two Case-Crossover Methods for Studying the Dose-Response Relationship between Alcohol and Injury
This study compares dose-response injury risk estimates for two control periods defined as the same 6-hour period the week prior and the set of all non-sleeping 6-hour periods over the past year. Dose-response injury risk estimates for the multiple match controls are generated via the application of a maximum-likelihood approach. Injury risk associated with any (i.e., 1 drink or more) drinking 6 hours prior to injury was similar for the two contr…
