After almost two years of exploring how health research can become more inclusive and equitable, we are sharing our insights in this final webinar of the initial phase of the Wellcome Centers for Exchange initiative. Join our panelists and add your voice to the conversation!
I am looking forward to this!

Interested in understanding which health R&D is happening, where, and with which funding? The World Health Organization Global Observatory on Health R&D allows you to explore which clinical trials are ongoing, how much is spent on R&D, or discover cover patterns or gaps to help inform future R&D directions, and much more. #globalhealth #randd #healthproducts Amina Haouala Sarah Charnaud Mercedes Perez Gonzalez

An interesting high level discussion hosted by EUPHA - European Public Health Association and European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies with WHO Regional Office for Europe Hans Kluge on "Is public health relevant in the new world?" The short answer is...of course! Hard to disagree with anything that was said. But I will say this. There seems to be an overemphasis on improving communication in public health without sufficient acknowledgement of the many forces that are countering that communication. In a post-COVID world where we have seen the impact of misinformation and disinformation, it doesn't matter how well you communicate something, there will be a group of people who are uninterested and unpersuaded by scientific facts and rational argument. We need to move to evidence based interventions that tackle disinformation and misinformation. Without that we are hanging onto a concept of health uniting people, when what we see around the world is health dividing people.

Honored to join fellow members at an advisory group meeting for the The Lancet Comission on Evidence-based Implementation in Global Health. Important and relevant recommendations covered: *Engaging stakeholders in planning and implementation to ensure relevance and garner support. *Customizing practices to align with cultural, social, and contextual factors to maximize impact. *Providing training and resources to facilitate effective implementation, empowering individuals with essential skills. *Lastly, regularly evaluating outcomes to refine interventions for optimal results and long-term success are the main elements for the success of evidence-based global health initiatives. #EvidenceBased #Implementation #HealthcareImpact #ContextAdaptation
🌐 #Equity in the context of pandemics encompasses more than #fairness and #justice, which are fundamental values fostering trust and cooperation. 📽 Listen to more insights on the meaning of equity in the context of #pandemics by Pr Victor Dzau, GPMB Member, President of the US National Academy of Medicine and Vice-Chair of the US National Research Council. 📢 This fits within The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board statement on equity released in the margins of the 77th World Health Assembly. https://lnkd.in/eMVUgH9a

Just like with everything else in life, it all comes down to trust. Lack of patient/provider trust can result in a reduction of adherence to treatment, therapeutic outcomes, shared decision-making, patient anxiety, and access to care. In order to create positive change in the world, we have to listen - and that starts with being trained on and aware of our own biases. This rings especially true as we navigate the current "infodemic”, an overwhelming spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories, often outpacing credible sources. I am a huge fan of Tina’s work and highly recommend following them to keep your finger on the pulse of this important and emerging work. Whether encouraging healthier habits, more sustainable practices, or addressing misinformation and conspiracy theories, lasting behaviour change requires first listening to and FOR people's beliefs, motivations, and barriers (accessing the subconscious) and using frameworks that help protect us from our own thoughts and feelings. Our current access to information is both mind-bogglingly incredible and scary at the same time. While systems, laws and policies try to catch up to the times, Tina has outlined some great quick wins to address the public health information environment.

Digital public health, health security, health misinformation | DrPH student | FAIDH, PMP
Navigating the health information landscape is akin to walking through a dynamic landscape where the ground shifts with the influences of platform design, marketing, and social dynamics. These interactions shape our perceptions, drive our questions, and elevate health concerns we want to address. They even influence how we feel about and perceive health information, and our trust in health system or its actions. The information environment is a lot more complicated than blasting viral posts on your favorite social media platform. We can't solve all the problems overnight, but health and well-being can be values when deciding what to do. I talked about this and the challenge of promoting demand in health in my recent talk at CAPHIA - Council of Academic Public Health Institutions Australasia. See the recording here: https://lnkd.in/dkYq-8Ay I expanded each of the examples in the talk into a series of commentaries, which you can find on my LinkedIn and my blog: https://lnkd.in/d2ZhAP3C
Advances in Learning Health System Sciences will feature sessions on a variety of LHS topics, including a panel focused on the unique barriers, challenges and opportunities of implementing digital health in various settings: https://lnkd.in/gBFr64Pn
