Join hosts Doctor Xand van Tulleken and Dr Rochelle Burgess for Season 3, Episode 5 of Public Health Disrupted with Dr Halima Begum Prof Delan Devakumar. “It's the indirect act of racism that is leading to poorer outcomes for racialised groups.” How does racism impact people's health? And how big is this problem? We're three years on from George Floyd's murder, which launched a wave of global protests under the banner never again. This, of course, has not been the case. We're also three years since the COVID pandemic began, which really highlighted the long-standing racial health inequalities in the UK and beyond. In this month's episode, Dr Halima Begum (CEO of ActionAid UK) and Delan Devakumar (Professor of Global Child Health) discuss the systemic challenges faced by people of colour, and the complex relationship between racism, health equity, and efforts for social justice.

CW: war fighting, sexual violence, genocideAn online transcript is available.The latest iteration of Russia's war on Ukraine has entered its second year prompting us to examine the issue of war trauma — especially the toll war takes on civilians. Russia's indiscriminate targeting of civilian housing, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure has not only made civilians witnesses of war, but victims of it. War-rape, which was only recognized as a crime against humanity following the war in the former Yugoslavia, is being used by Russian forces and paramilitaries as a means of terrorizing civilians.On today's program, four conversations about civilians during and after war..Sr. Donna Markham, OP, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and Dominican sister, heads Catholic Charities USA. She describes her encounters with Ukrainian civilians during her recent trip to the war zone and the tasks that face the people of Ukraine today. (Watch: Catholic Charities' webinar on Sr. Donna's visit to Ukraine.).Next: we talk with Dr. Zulfiqar Bhutta, MBBS, Ph.D., a physician who co-directs the Centre for Global Child Health at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto about the long-term effects of maternal and child health of living in a war zone and the very real developmental deficits that can arise by disruption of adequate nutrition, normal schooling, and play. (Watch: Aga Khan University's Lecture by Dr. Bhutta on the future of maternal and child health.).And we have a conversation with Shanna Kohn who is Director of International Education at Sesame Workshop. In addition to its longstanding effort to meet the educational needs of refugee children, for the first time ever, Sesame Workshop in Ukraine is producing content for children in an active war zone.  (Watch: the entire episode "Гровер сумує" ["Grover is Sad"]).And finally, we talk with Dr. Nena Močnik, Ph.D., author of Trauma Transmission and Sexual Violence: Reconciliation and Peacebuilding in Post Conflict Settings about the use of rape as a tool of war and the ways victims can begin to recover from the trauma of it. (Watch: Project Eirene's video of Dr. Močnik's webinar on "Women and Post-War Transitions: Oral history,").BONUS: Listen to our episode "Life During Wartime"  (Episode 041) from March, 2022 where we examined the early days of the Russian War on Ukraine through the lens of whole-person care; how every aspect of a person's life is thrown out of balance in the midst of war. It features conversations with displaced people, ex-pats and people of Ukrainian ancestry living in the U.S. eager to help people back home, relief workers assisting refugees, and a journalist with a long history of covering Putin and the Ukraine.    

A special joint episode sees Prof. Delan Devakumar, host of the Race & Health podcast and Professor of Global Child Health at UCL, speak with Prof. Tendayi Achiume, Dr. Gideon Lasco, and Dr. Sujitha Selvarajah about what racism means to them,  how racism affects health, and what we can learn from The Lancet's new Series on racial and ethnic equity in science, medicine, and global health.Listen to the Race & Health Podcast hereRead The Lancet Series on racism, xenophobia, discrimination, and health

Our mission to improve child health doesn't end at our borders. The RCPCH Global programme partners with paediatric societies, global aid organisations and local agencies to train, advise and offer medical support. In our third episode of our 'in conversation' series on the College Strategy , our Head of Global Sebastian Taylor speaks with Dr Sue Broster, Officer for Global Child Health and a consultant neonatologist about the important role the College plays in improving global child health.  Sue tells us, "I think we're really seeing our membership start to say, is there something that we should be doing more loudly, more vociferously in a really constructive way, through advocacy for a range of issues in the global health arena as much as we're doing it in a number of other areas like child protection, safeguarding, etc." Downlaod transcript

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Infrastructure Minister Catherine McKenna says her decision not to run again in a federal election was a “difficult” one and that while she plans to take the summer to weigh her next move, her focus will be on working to keep fighting climate change. McKenna spoke with reporters alongside the Rideau Canal pathway in downtown Ottawa, which is part of the Ottawa Centre federal riding she won away from the NDP in 2015. She shut down speculation that she is eyeing a possible run in the Ottawa mayoral race, saying her decision comes after reflections during the COVID-19 pandemic. “It was a difficult decision but it's the right one for me and my family, and it's the right time to make it,” she said. “Like many Canadians, living through COVID-19 over a very long year made me step back and reflect on what matters to me most. It was quite simple, two things: my kids and climate change.” GUEST: Laura Babcock, President of PowerGroup - While recent events have brought some of Canada's worst historical crimes into international focus, a clear majority of Canadians do not support calls to “cancel Canada Day,” according to a new Leger poll commissioned by Postmedia. Across virtually every age, region and political affiliation polled, most Canadians intended to celebrate the July 1 national holiday, are cheered by the sight of the Maple Leaf and — all things considered — saw Canadian history as something worth celebrating. ALSO: Sending COVID-19 Vaccine Doses to Developing Countries - June 29, 2021 – Leger Poll GUEST: Dave Scholz, Executive VP of Leger - The discovery of hundreds of children's remains in Kamloops, Brandon and Cowessess have exposed the absolute devastation settlers inflicted upon Indigenous children, families and communities through the Indian Residential School system. Ian Mosby, historian of food, Indigenous health and the politics of Canadian settler colonialism, uncovered that between 1942 and 1952, Canada's most prominent nutrition scientists performed highly unethical research on 1,300 Indigenous people, including 1,000 children, in Cree communities in northern Manitoba and at six residential schools across Canada. Many were already suffering from malnutrition because of destructive government policies and terrible conditions at residential schools. In the eyes of researchers, this made them ideal test subjects. GUEST: Allison Daniel, PhD researcher with the SickKids Centre for Global Child Health and the University of Toronto's Temerty Faculty of Medicine, a Global Health Fellow with the Dalla Lana School of Public Health and a consultant for the World Health Organization See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

POLICY SEMINAR Tackling child undernutrition at scale: Insights from national and subnational success cases Co-Organized by IFPRI and Exemplars in Global Health APR 1, 2021 - 09:30 AM TO 11:00 AM EDT Childhood undernutrition remains a major global challenge, with profound consequences for the health, well-being, and long-term development of millions of people. Strategies to tackle malnutrition have often focused on small-scale programs and specific interventions. To improve nutrition outcomes at scale, nutrition policymakers and leaders need evidence on what works. Drawing on the experience of policymakers, nutrition leaders, and program managers, two global research programs are now providing practical insights on large-scale solutions to child undernutrition in different countries. In this event, we bring together IFPRI’s Stories of Change and Exemplars in Global Health, which have both been studying successes in reducing childhood stunting. Lessons from these deep research programs, featured in the newly released Lancet 2021 Series on Maternal and Child Undernutrition, offer hope that big change is possible and provide specific direction for countries striving to accelerate progress on nutrition. Opening Remarks: Johan Swinnen, Director General, IFPRI Speakers: Niranjan Bose, Managing Director, Health & Life Sciences, Gates Ventures Zulfiqar Bhutta, Co-director of the Center for Global Child Health and Founding Director of the Centre of Excellence in Women and Child Health at the Aga Khan University Stuart Gillespie, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Rasmi Avula, Research Fellow, IFPRI Drishti Sharma, Manager, Access and Health Policy Research, International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) Moderator: Purnima Menon, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Links: Maternal And Child Undernutrition Progress (Lancet Series): https://www.thelancet.com/series/maternal-child-undernutrition-progress Exemplars In Global Health: https://www.exemplars.health/topics/stunting/cross-country-synthesis Stories Of Change In Nutrition: https://www.exemplars.health/topics/stunting/cross-country-synthesis More on the seminar: https://www.ifpri.org/event/tackling-child-undernutrition-scale-insights-national-and-subnational-success-cases Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription

Dr. Deborah Lewinsohn and Dr. Marcel Curlin present two distinct approaches to understanding infectious diseases in global health today. First, Dr. Lewinsohn, a co-founder and director of the Center for Global Child Health Research, dives deep into the search for an improved childhood TB vaccine. Then, Dr. Curlin discusses Zika’s development, or pathogenesis.Afterwards, the group discuss malnutrition's impact on TB as well as the latency of neurotropic viruses.

We face a double burden of malnutrition. Almost one billion people go to bed hungry. And obesity rates rise remorselessly. In many parts of the world our children are fatter, less active and less likely to be exclusively breastfed than they have ever been. In these two conversations with leading nutritionist Gay Palmer and international human rights lawyer Belinda Reeve, I explore the politics of feeding children, and whether food companies are infringing the rights of children through aggressive marketing of infant formula, junk food and sugar in everything. They suggest ways that states and professionals might regulate the culture and commerce of your children's diet.

Paediatric training and the practice of paediatrics is built on the bedrock of ensuring best possible health outcomes for all children, optimising opportunity for those without full health and contributing to a voice, in advocacy, for children. In the world’s high-income countries (HICs), child health outcomes are comparatively good, and the paediatric workforce well trained to manage the health issues of children. Paediatric training and continuing professional development is generally under the authority of paediatric societies or colleges. Such organisations are well funded and supported, have long traditions of curriculum and resource development with supervisors trained in postgraduate training and supervision. They have a history of matching training needs to the health needs of their children. Some attempt at supporting advocacy and a voice for children is made, and a sense that paediatricians do all they can for the underprivileged is instilled during training. Such approaches are right and proper, but do they miss something fundamental? The question is the starting point of this podcast. ADC Global Child Health editor Nick Brown interviews Professor Kevin Forsyth (Department of Paediatrics and Child Health, Flinders University School of Medicine, Adelaide, Australia) about his article published in the June 2017 edition of ADC. The article 'Strengthening the global paediatric workforce: the need for a global strategy to ensure better health outcomes for children' is accessible on the ADC website: http://adc.bmj.com/content/102/6/585.

The Critical Creative Innovative Thinking (CCIT) is a forum formed at the Aga Khan University (AKU) in Karachi, Pakistan, aiming to provide an arena conducive to lateral thinking and to equip biomedical professionals with the skill set to enable and promote creativity and innovation in paediatric care for resource-limited backgrounds. The promoter of this project, Asad Mian, (Departments of Emergency Medicine, Paediatrics & Child Health, AKU) tells global commissioning editor of ADC, Nick Brown, how the CCIT is making a positive difference in Pakistan and could be applied to other low-income settings. Dr Mian is also an Associate Professor at the AKU.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a gene disorder causing a debilitating syndrome. Recently, population migration has meant that SCD now has a worldwide distribution and that a substantial number of children are born with the condition in higher-income areas, including large parts of Europe and North and South America. ADC Global Health editor Nick Brown talks to co author Thomas Williams about the biology of the disease, this new global spread and the burden of SCD in resource-poor countries.

Neonatal jaundice is predominantly a benign condition that affects 60%–80% of newborns worldwide but progresses to potentially harmful severe hyperbilirubinaemia in some. Despite the proven therapeutic benefits of phototherapy for preventing extreme hyperbilirubinaemia, acute bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus, several low-income and middle-income countries continue to report high rates of avoidable exchange transfusions, as well as bilirubin-induced mortality and neurodevelopmental disorders. A review recently published in ADC examines the contributory factors to the burden of severe hyperbilirubinaemia and kernicterus and provide strategies for improving care. ADC Global Health editor Nick Brown talks to co-author Tina Slusher, Department of Pediatrics, University of Minnesota & Hennepin County Medical Center, Minneapolis, to hear what they suggest.

Research understanding the lives of children with disabilities in low-income and middle-income countries has predominantly focused on prevalence studies with little progress on evidence-based service development. At the same time, global attention in child health has shifted from child survival strategies to those that bring child survival and development together. Aisha Yousafzai, Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan, has led a review in May's ADC which examines whether intervention research can be better aligned with current theoretical constructs of disability and international guidelines that advocate for the realisation of rights for children with disabilities and inclusive early childhood development. ADC global health editor Nick Brown asks her about the conclusions.Read the full paper:Moving beyond prevalence studies: screening and interventions for children with disabilities in low-income and middle-income countries http://goo.gl/ISp259

Despite advances in prevention, rapid diagnosis and treatment andbeing a focus disease for the Millenium Development Goals, malariacontinues to claim an unacceptable number of lives.The first experiments in malaria vaccinology date back severaldecades. There was excitement on the release of the Colombian Spf66vaccine in the 1980s but this was followed by disappointed as thetrial results did not translate into the expected effictiveness on theground. Since then, molecular advances have seen a new wave ofcandidate vaccines including the RTS. In this podcast, ADC's global health editor Nick Brown discusses with Lorenz von Seidlein, an eminent malariologist at Menzies School of Health Research, Australia, the reasons why an effective vaccine has proved so elusive, the range of new candidates and hopes for the future.Read Lorenz's full article here: http://adc.bmj.com/content/98/12/981.full

Research provides a means of helping many people in many places over many years. And, it is possible to do useful research “on the field” in the midst of a busy clinical practice. This session will review possibilities and principles that lead to science-advancing, patient- helping, resource-affordable clinical research.
