On a mission to catch up for lost time on women's health, today's guest outlines areas of women's health that have been sidelined for too long, areas that can be addressed. Professor Jane Hirst is an academic obstetrician and the Global program director of women's health at The George Institute for Global Health. We explore some of the opportunities ahead. Some of the big wins, and why Professor Hirst remain optimistic even after challenging news in recent weeks that the Trump administration is cutting funding to international development programs globally, including those that deal with women's health.

Two weeks ago, the World Health Organization released a set of guidelines recommending the use of the lower-sodium salt substitutes. These products reduce the amount of sodium chloride in the salt, replacing it with potassium chloride. Reducing salt intake – or sodium intake, has long been held by experts as one of the easiest and cheapest ways to reduce our burden of non-communicable diseases. The WHO's recommendation is 5 grams of salt a day but Indians eat far more than this at around 8 grams per day. Think about this – an estimated 1.89 million deaths every year globally are associated with consuming too much sodium. And India bears a huge burden of these deaths. So what are lower sodium salt substitutes, and how can they help? Do we need to reduce the salt used while cooking food? What about food outside the home, and ultra processed food available in supermarkets? What are the costs of lower sodium salt substitutes and does India need a country-wide programme to help people make this modification to their diets? Guest: Dr Vivekanand Jha, executive director, George Institute for Global Health, India and past president, International Society of Nephrology Host: Zubeda Hamid Edited by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian.

A new study finds that as much as two-thirds of infant and toddler food sold in U.S. supermarkets is unhealthy.  The George Institute for Global Health looked at 651 food products sold in ten different grocery chains and found all of them made prohibited claims on the packaging.  Some 70 percent didn't meet nutritional requirements, and more than 40 percent had more sugar than recommended.  Some didn't have enough calories and others had too much sodium. What are the red flags families should know before shopping? We asked Dr. Chelsea Lepus from Yale School of Medicine. Image Credit: Getty Images

The influence of public health on politics, at least at the beginning of the pandemic, had never been stronger - but now it seems as hard to persuade politicians to pay attention as ever, yet political will is essential in making different sectors work together to create a healthier world. In this podcast, The BMJ's editor in chief, Kamran Abbasi is joined by Shyama Kuruvilla, senior strategic adviser at World Health Organization, and Kent Buse, director of the global healthier societies program at The George Institute for Global Health.

Series 4 is brought to us by the ‘Accountability and Responsiveness in Informal Settlements for Equity' abbreviated to ARISE. The ARISE consortium is all about promoting social change for improved health and wellbeing with communities and people living and working within urban informal spaces.  Together, across 10 partners in 4 countries – Bangladesh, India, Kenya and Sierra Leone- they are co-developing solutions with communities to health and wellbeing challenges. However, co-production of knowledge for action is challenging due to the many and intersecting inequalities and power relations between researchers, development professionals, activists and communities. We will be exploring how ARISE is working to overcome these, in partnership with people in urban informal settlements or slums, to stimulate change.  In this week's episode we are talking to Inviolata Njoroge from LVCT Kenya and Shrutika Murthy from The George Institute for Global Health (TGI), India. They have shared their experiences of using visual methods and storytelling to bridge the power-laden distances between lived realities of waste pickers, child headed households, the elderly and people with disabilities in urban informal communities and research and policy. We hear about:  methods that have been used to connect with the most marginalised and often hidden people in urban informal communities  how different intersecting identities and inequities add new layers of vulnerability in urban informal settlements   the use of participant shadowing as an activity to capture experience and context of vulnerable people and what needs to be considered before using this as a method to connect with people  how the photovoice method has brought out silent voices and stories that are often left unheard   The importance of considering researcher and community mental health when using these in-depth exploratory and creative methods with vulnerable populations  Guest presenter for this series is Robinson Karuga Research, Evaluation and Learning Manager, LVCT Health Robinson Karuga is a Health Systems and Policy Research specialist. His area of specialization is community health systems research, with a focus on community participation in governance and embedding of quality improvement approaches. Karuga is a co-investigator in https://www.ariseconsortium.org/the-challenge/ (ARISE (Accountability and Responsiveness in Informal Settlements for Equity)), a multi-country research consortium that seeks to generate evidence on how to apply community-based participatory approaches to empower marginalized residents of urban informal settlements to advocate for improvements to factors that affect their health and wellbeing. Within ARISE, Robinson connects citizens with science through the implementation of community-based participatory research such as photo voice and building the capacity of co-researchers in reflexive methods.  As the Research Capacity Strengthening lead in the ARISE Consortium, Karuga is responsible for developing and implementing the Consortium's capacity strengthening strategy that targets 29 early and mid-career researchers, a Ph.D. cohort of 9 candidates, and community co-researchers in four countries across Africa (Kenya, Sierra Leone) and Asia (India and Bangladesh).Robinson Karuga is currently the Research Evaluations and Learning Manager at https://lvcthealth.org/ (LVCT Health), a Kenyan not-for-profit organization that seeks to improve the health and well-being of vulnerable and marginalized populations through research, technical support to governments, and policy advocacy.

Host: Andrew Wilner, MD, Author of "The Locum Life: A Physician's Guide to Locum Tenens" Guest: Cheryl Carcel, MD, PhD Although research suggests that women have a similar stroke risk as men, a new analysis has found that a very small percentage of participants in clinical trials investigating stroke treatments are female.
