Partners In Health-Liberia

Partners In Health Liberia’s Executive Director appointed as Commissioner for The Lancet Global Health Commission   Partners In Health Liberia is pleased to announce that its Executive Director, Dr. Maxo Luma, has been appointed Commissioner for The Lancet Global Health Commission on People-Centered Care for Universal Health Coverage, convened by the Harvard Center for Primary Care.   Dr. Maxo strongly believes that healthcare must be tailored to the needs of the individuals it serves. His appointment aligns him with a cohort of over 30 global experts who possess diverse perspectives and share a common dedication to reshaping healthcare systems.   Dr. Maxo has humbly acknowledged the significance of this opportunity while also expressing enthusiasm. He emphasized that although the journey toward achieving universal health coverage may be extensive, prioritizing people-centered care is the route that will propel the world closer to realizing this goal.   He eagerly anticipates sharing his expertise and learning from other professionals as they work to advance healthcare, advocating for fairness, accessibility, and a genuine focus on the individuals in care. Dr. Maxo is an expert in tuberculosis and drug-resistant tuberculosis, as well as a social justice and patient advocate.   The PIH Liberia’s Executive Director and his colleagues will collaborate to complete the Commission's tasks over approximately 2.5 years, starting in the second half of 2024. Their responsibilities will include formulating research questions, synthesizing existing evidence, and designing and conducting new research to promote people-centered care.   The group will use the evidence gathered to create policy and practice recommendations for implementing people-centered care in various settings. Working groups will be formed to achieve agreed-upon objectives, and they will use participatory, community-engaged research methods that align with the principles of people-centered care.   The Commission aims to address gaps in evidence-based guidance, identify best practices, and develop novel approaches to enabling people-centered care. It will also determine how people-centered care can be operationally defined, rigorously measured, and effectively operationalized across various settings and income levels.  You can learn more about this work here: Link to the Announcement.   #PeopleCenteredCare #UHC #HealthEquity #GlobalHealth #LancetCommission #PrimaryCare”
