WHO-lead Report Urges Health Systems Priorities For Global Health Initiatives»
Peter Godfrey-Faussett, Professor of International Health and Infectious Diseases, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
The global health initiatives set up in the last decade to fight killer diseases like AIDS, TB and Malaria are not investing enough in efforts made locally in countries around the world to deliver health through effective health systems. That's the upshot of a report published in the Lancet led by the World Health Organization which criticizes the otherwise high-achieving programmes like the Global Fund, The President's Emergency Plan, and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization. One of the authors, Peter Godfrey-Faussett, talked with Peter Goodwin after speaking at a symposium on this held to discuss the Lancet report at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.Peter Godfrey-Faussett, Professor of International Health and Infectious Diseases, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
WASHINGTON—International Global Health Conference Identifies Priorities For Poor Communities; Gates Award Endorses London School Of Hygiene And Tropical Medicine»
The poorest members of the global community—not necessarily geographically defined—are those who need to be targeted in healthcare development rather than countries labelled as "developing". Peter Goodwin hears the views of Hans Rosling of the Karonlinska Institute during the Annual International Conference on Global Health held in Washington DC. He also talks with the outgoing president of the Global Health Council (which hosts the conference), Nils Daulaire, with the London School of Hygiene's Director, Andy Haines, and alumni, James Hospedales, Ariella Bock, Cherie Carter and Khizer Husain about the relevance of their education in their work in global health all over the world, and about the significance of the Gates Award to the London School's Distance Learning programme and efforts to strengthen healthcare institutions.
