We're excited to announce that Dr. Vânia de la Fuente-Núñez, Healthy Ageing Senior Advisor at The Fred Hollows Foundation, will be speaking at the upcoming IAPB Conference in Mexico. Don't miss her insightful session ‘How can eye health advance healthy ageing?’ on 27 June from 15:15 to 16:15 local time in the Changemakers Room! Seventy three per cent of avoidable vision loss occurs in people who are 50 and over. Good eye health is key for us to reap the benefits of our increased longevity. Yet, older populations remain largely invisible in eye healthcare efforts as reflected in the report Connecting Healthy Ageing and Vision, which you can read at https://lnkd.in/gyHfy2Un On April 17-18, in Manila, The Fred Hollows Foundation and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB), with support from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and the Australia-ASEAN Council, brought together leading organizations dedicated to ageing and vision in Asia and the Pacific. This landmark event produced the Manila Statement, which outlines essential actions to enhance eye health for older populations. Older People are central to achieving the 2030 in Sight goals. The Manila Statement is a crucial step in advancing the global vision agenda and making healthy ageing a reality for millions. Let’s continue this important conversation and drive action together. #EyeHealth #HealthyAgeing #2030inSight #VisionForEveryone cc Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade , International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) , CBM Christian Blind Mission , International Federation on Ageing , HelpAge International

I am excited to announce the launch of the first status report on the use of behavioural and cultural insights (BCI) in Europe and Central Asia. This marks a critical juncture. It’s the first reporting to @WHO Regional Office for Europe following the resolution adopted in September 2022, which emphasized the pivotal role of behaviour and cultural context in achieving equitable health outcomes. Results show the considerable work ahead to meet the ambitious 2026 targets but I’m convinced that together we can get through these challenges and bridge gaps. Together, we can use BCI to address the health challenges and major killers of our time. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eJYe94zG.

The WHO Regional Office for Europe and Estonia's Ministry of Social Affairs today co-hosted a high-level conference marking 15 years of the Tallinn Charter. In 2008, all Member States of the WHO European Region embraced the Tallinn Charter, addressing the needs of the time and acknowledging the intricate connection between health, health systems, and economic progress. In light of the lessons learned from COVID-19, today’s event focus on building resilient and sustainable health systems. It addressed challenges like ageing populations, digitalisation, novel medicines, and climate change, emphasising the importance of rebuilding trust in health systems and transforming them to be more responsive and person-centered. Our Mental health and Wellbeing Lead & Healthcare Advisor, Matt Bolz-Johnson, spoke about the significance of precision medicine in transforming European healthcare. This approach requires a new healthcare model, investment, community trust, and international cooperation, aiming to improve patient outcomes and healthcare systems. 👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dXNSzXve #MentalHealth #MentalWellbeing #PrecisionMedicine #conference #covid19

Medical student at Seoul National University. Interested in building healthy cities / 서울대학교 의과대학 경제경영학회 MDWINNERS
Dear friends in Korea! I recommend the World Health City Forum which will be taking place in Songdo this coming Monday till Wednesday. (I will be there on Monday and Tuesday) https://lnkd.in/g8ZFyJTA The World Health City Forum is the first of its kind in addressing global health concerns in the post-Covid context, with an emphasis on how the physical context of a 'modern, connected city' greatly impacts the health of its people. Did you know that main determinants of health - or more specifically the contributors to premature mortality - stem not from conventional healthcare in a clinical setting but from social, behavioral, and genetic factors? (See figure below, excerpted from an NEJM Catalyst piece) It stands to reason that to ensure the health of current and future populations, the role of not only "healthcare" professionals but also policymakers, urban landscape makers, and perhaps most of all.. businesses - whose products & services can beneficially impact the behaviors of the population - are necessary. The WHCF (World Health City Forum) aims to take a step in coordinating these multiagent efforts and set a direction for those interested in making people's lives healthier. Especially of note is the scheduled drafting of the Incheon Declaration - somewhat of a successor to, and hopefully an updated and bettered version of, the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion. Registration is available via the official website. Let me know if you will be there, we will catch up!

It’s been 2 weeks since the success of #ECTMIH2023, the European Congress on Global Health held at Utrecht, the Netherlands. ECTMIH 2023 aimed to accelerate the understanding, appreciation, and connections between tropical medicine, global health, and the urgent field of planetary health; to emphasize the importance of health equity and universal health coverage to ensure that all populations – and especially those in low(er) resource settings – have optimal chances of health and wellbeing. I was so honoured to have my e-poster presented at ECTMIH this year. The conference this year attracted more than thousand of abstract submissions to be underwent the review process before officially launching a productive 4-day programme. We as delegates had wonderful experience at Utrechth and brought back home meaningful messages. My poster once again highlighted the emergence of postpartum depression in a developing country as Vietnam, especially among the mountainous areas. I had interesting discussions with other delegates sharing similar background and context about PPD in their countries, which ended up an agreement to have larger scale study in the future to pay more attention to postpartum care. Thanks to VinUniversity and the research team who has done a very great job for this project. Also hat off to the organiser team of ECTMIH 2023, Global Health UMC Utrecht UMC Utrecht Federation of European Societies for Tropical Medicine and International Health (FESTMIH) NVTG Dutch Society for Tropical Medicine & Global Health for such a successful event and valuable networking opportunities. #postpartumdepression #PPD #maternalhealthcare #communityhealth #planetaryhealth #Utrecht #theNetherlands

Our latest UK report reveals a troubling trend: a lack of representation in clinical trials leads to ineffective treatments and health disparities. By embracing diversity in medical research, we can foster a healthier future for everyone. It's time to break down barriers and amplify every voice in medical research.

What an honour to be directing the programme of The South African Medical Association with its new CEO Dr Mzulungile Theo Nodikida. I listened to so many angles of looking at the issues health care providers grapple with and the reminders of the challenges of our SA and global healthcare systems. There were a few glaring things for me: - our health systems do not know how to build for and with the patient, nor the provider!!!! Made me think of one of the ways of rebuilding that I been chewing on: we have to embody and invite others into the new world…traditional buy-in will not cut it. People have to imagine, have language for and begin to experience the new when the old is so entrenched!!!! We haven’t gotten it perfect yet but we can for sure start inviting others into the journey based on what we do know… - we can’t escape the re-design imperative!!!! Pieces have to be moved around, removed, added, lines re-drawn, etc. - the victim-perpetrator, binary, way of looking at things will lead us astray. We have to learn to truly listen, find the truths and lies and greys in all the narratives in order to begin to see clearly!
