The political ecology of the entropy principle
The formalisation of the entropy law by Rudolf Clausius in 1865 marks a shift in 19th century physics. By defining energy as a process, German physicists were able to shape the necessary epistemological instruments for the second industrial revolution. The Berlin School of Thermodynamics applied physics for industrialising the recently unified Prussian state, making energy an important site of state governance. The entropy principle, an economic …

Declaration on mental health in Africa
Urgent action is needed to address mental health issues globally. In Africa, where mental health disorders account for a huge burden of disease and disability, and where in general less than 1% of the already small health budgets are spent on these disorders, the need for action is acute and urgent. Members of the World Health Organization, including African countries, have adopted a Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan. Africa now has an hist…
Health systems and health equity
For decades, concerns regarding health systems have been prominent in the global health discourse, leading to numerous publications and laudable declarations, as well as compacts and consensus statements intended to guide policy and practice. This discussion paper is intended to neither summarise nor systematically review this vast field of interest. Instead, the paper reflects on some challenges for attaining health systems equity and raises que…
Survey of ENT services in Africa
BACKGROUND: Burden of disease (BOD) is greatest in resource-starved regions such as Africa. Even though hearing disability ranks third on the list of non-fatal disabling conditions in low- and middle-income countries, ear, nose, and throat (ENT) disorders are not specifically coded for within the framework governing global BOD estimates, and in discussions about health challenges, non-communicable diseases receive scant attention. Implementing co…
