WEEK 34 PUBLICATION REVIEW

Salient points from Week 34;

1. This publication was built on a blog from the lead author, probably additional information will be added to this in the nearest future, which will be great. 

2. It has a rich list of authors and contributors, majority are from the global south.

3. Global Health is multidisciplinary in as much as we don't want to confuse it with one health and other facets of health. 

4. There are no selfish goals when joining global health. Healthcare involves humanitarianism.

5. Global health expertise assessment is devoid of financial weight, racism, geographical region among other indices.

6. There is more to global health than publications, interact with people and impact lives positively. 

7. There are more global health experts in the global south than acknowledged.

8. A global health expert is forever a student. Be open to learn and work with anyone to make the dream work.


Conclusion: The now and future generation of global health advocates from the global south will ask many questions and raise many topics, global health experts shouldn't wait for that time, they should start doing the right things and rectify their wrongs where applicable.


PS: If you feel this is good content, please utilize and share.

WEEKLY READS WITH DR. FAJEMBOLA (WEEK 5)

Thailand is known largely for tourism, I lived in the land of smiles for two years and one aspect I explored thoroughly in different facets is the healthcare system. If I could experience their healthcare again, would I? YES, is it affordable for locals and foreigners? YES for locals and averagely for foreigners.  Salient points from week 5:  1. Thailand’s UHC system is considered one of the most robust in the world, with improved access to healthcare for the population since its implementation in 2002.  2. According to the WHO, Thailand ranks 25th in the world for its UHC Service Coverage Index. 3. Current gaps include lack of access to  emergency housing for caregivers of patients attending the hospital, hidden costs of food and travel in UHC systems, complex hospital processes unfamiliar to disadvantaged patients on how to best access resources. 4. The researchers developed initiatives to help  alleviate hidden costs but they are only band-aid solutions that ...

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE: THE DECAY AND SOLUTION.

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE: THE DECAY AND SOLUTION. So much talk globally about tertiary institutions not allowing Muslim ladies observe the hijab and it does not make sense looking at it from any angle. My parents almost sent me to a catholic medical school in India, because of religious tolerance. I strongly believe a lot of the work is done from home, academic institutions are supplements on religious knowledge.  I went to Christian primary schools & you can't compare me with some who went to Muslim schools when we got to secondary level, It's like comparing grey and white if not black and white.  Charity begins at home not at school, the mistake some parents make is leaving everything to faith-based academic institutions. I went to an Islamic University, I do tell people I went to christian schools and they are shocked cos it looks like I went to muslim schools, faith-based schools are nothing if you do not train your child at home. Religious exposure makes your children be...

CHALLENGES FACED BY WOMEN WHEN MOVING UP THE LADDER AFTER THE 2OTH CENTURY

Image
       The male and female gender are known to face different realities across the globe, and this exposes them to different opportunities as well as challenges. Every adult with a good mental health knows that the challenges faced by women since time immemorial till date are more than the opportunities which knock on their doors. An integral part of a woman’s life is balancing the expectations of work and family, this is what pushes some women to face the home fully because it is priority especially for those in Africa, making them lose opportunities to be a better individual and contribute to their societies immensely. What it takes to be a woman who can utilize as many opportunities as possible that crosses her path in different geographical locations is different just like different shades of a color- The same color but different shades. It is no news that times have changed and the myth that women cannot be successful in careers that need physical ...
