Methods: To address the need for more physician specialists in the country, Discovery Health of South Africa collaborated with Mass General Hospita…
Health workforce as a climate and health priority in nationally determined contributions
Ensuring Continuity of Health Professions Training Amid a Global Pandemic
Uganda experienced 2 COVID-19 waves that challenged health professional education. All health professions training institutions (HPTIs) in Uganda closed in March 2020. Cognizant of the threat to quality education and the frontline workforce, the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) and Seed Global Health partnered to examine the risks and benefits of HPTI reopening through the Safe Schools Initiative (SSI). This article described the proc…
Advancing the climate change and health nexus
Community-Institutional Partnerships to Strengthen Maternal Health Care
Despite major setbacks to its health infrastructure and health workforce capacity, Liberia began its first post-graduate training program for physicians in 2013. Specialty training in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, General Surgery and Obstetrics and Gynecology were the four inaugural Residency programs that recruited graduates from the country's only medical school, A.M. Dogliotti College of Medicine. The Obstetrics and Gynecology residency progr…
Hierarchy of qualities in global health partnerships
Despite the exponential growth of global health partnerships (GHPs) over the past 20 years, evidence for their effectiveness remains limited. Furthermore, many partnerships are dysfunctional as a result of inequitable partnership benefits, low trust and accountability and poor evaluation and quality improvement practices. In this article, we describe a theoretical model for partnerships developed by seven global health experts. Through semistruct…
Reducing Health Disparities Requires Financing People-Centered Primary Care
Spurred by the nationwide reckoning on the interlinked challenges of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and racism, health systems, hospitals, and physician groups are mobilizing to promote health equity. This mobilization is long overdue and urgently required, as we attempt to protect and heal our patients in an era of worsening divisiveness amid the ongoing pandemic. But while health systems' activities-from diversity and inclusion committees …
What Does a Mutually Beneficial Global Health Partnership in Family Medicine Residency Look Like
Motivated by interest in enhancing their clinical experience and contributing to communities in need, US medical resident physicians are increasingly keen to train abroad. Guidelines are needed to help ensure that trainee, institutional, and faculty engagement in global health is ethically appropriate and mutually beneficial for all involved. Supported by the nonprofit organization Seed Global Health, the WWAMI-University of Malawi/College of Med…
Analysis of results from the Joint External Evaluation
BACKGROUND: The Joint External Evaluation (JEE) is part of the World Health Organization's (WHO) new process to help countries assess their ability to prevent, detect and respond to public health threats such as infectious disease outbreaks, as specified by the International Health Regulations (IHR). How countries are faring on these evaluations is not well known and neither is there any previous assessment of the performance characteristics of t…
Have geopolitics influenced decisions on American health foreign assistance efforts during the Obama presidency
BACKGROUND: This study sought to characterize the possible relationship between US geopolitical priorities and annual decisions on health foreign assistance among recipient nations between 2009 and 2016. METHODS: Data on total planned United States (US) foreign aid and health aid were collected for the 194 member nations of the World Health Organization (WHO) from publicly available databases. Trends in per-capita spending were examined between 2…
Has development assistance for health facilitated the rise of more peaceful societies in sub-Saharan Africa
Growing evidence suggests that health aid can serve humanitarian and diplomatic ends. This study utilised the Fragile States Index (FSI) for the 47 nations of the World Health Organizations' Africa region for the years 2005-2014 and data on health and non-health development aid spending from the United States (US) for those same years. Absolute amounts of health and non-health aid flows from the US were used as predictors of state fragility. We u…
A cross-case comparative analysis of international security forces’ impacts on health systems in conflict-affected and fragile states
The cases demonstrate both the opportunities and risks of international security organizations involvement in health sector protection, recovery and reconstruction. We discuss two potential approaches to engaging these organizations in health system support that may increase the chances of realizing these opportunities while mitigating risks
US medical specialty global health training and the global burden of disease
BACKGROUND: Rapid growth in global health activity among US medical specialty education programs has lead to heterogeneity in types of activities and global health training models. The breadth and scope of this activity is not well chronicled. METHODS: Using a standardized search protocol, we examined the characteristics of US medical residency global health programs by number of programs, clinical specialty, nature of activity (elective, researc…
Adolescents and the right to health
Under international, regional, and domestic law, adolescents are entitled to measures ensuring the highest attainable standard of health. For HIV/AIDS, this is essential as adolescents lack many social and economic protections and are disproportionately vulnerable to the effects of the disease. In many countries, legal protections do not always ensure access to health care for adolescents, including for HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and care. U…
A question of maturity
This article examines international, regional and national sources of law with respect to the rights of children and considers how a strict age of majority affects adolescents' access to health care. Using Rwanda as a case study, this article outlines how a high age of majority, combined with mandatory parental consent, creates barriers for Rwandan adolescents to prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission, learn their status and rece…
