A global social contract to ensure access to essential medicines and health technologies
The COVID-19 pandemic illuminates the need to move away from the current social contract, which focuses on the nation-state’s responsibility for protecting the health of its own population, including by providing essential medicines and health technologies. We argue for embracing a global social contract, which is a governance concept that lays the foundation for how states should act as members of the international community, as regulators of th…
Disclosure, transparency, and accountability
BACKGROUND: Weak governance over public sector pharmaceutical policy and practice limits access to essential medicines, inflates pharmaceutical prices, and wastes scarce health system resources. Pharmaceutical systems are technically complex and involve extensive interactions between the private and public sectors. For members of public sector pharmaceutical committees, relationships with the private sector can result in conflicts of interest, wh…

Elephant genotypes reveal the size and connectivity of transnational ivory traffickers
Diffusing Innovation and Motivating Change

In particular, student-led initiatives have demonstrated a positive impact on students' mental health, though not without systemic and individual barriers. Factors that lead to successful implementation and sustaining of student-led initiatives are currently not well understood. METHODS: A case study is pr…

Information and communicative technology use enhances psychological well-being of older adults
OBJECTIVES: Information and communicative technology (ICT) use is a potential vehicle for improving the psychological well-being (PWB) of older people. We examined the roles of age, frailty, and social connectedness in the relationship between ICT use and PWB. METHOD: Telephone interviews were conducted in mid-2016 with 1201 participants aged 50 and above (55.7% female) residing in Hong Kong, China. The participants reported PWB, ICT use (frequen…
Illuminating the Psychological Experience of Elderly Loneliness from a Societal Perspective
Loneliness is a common experience among older people that is associated with health risks and negative well-being. As a psychological phenomenon, it has typically been defined in Western research literature as the discrepancy between desired and actual interpersonal relations. In our qualitative study in Hong Kong, we offer insight into ageing and loneliness in an urban environment of the non-Western world and propose to reconceptualise lonelines…
