The covid-19 pandemic sweeping across Asia and the world has highlighted the strengths and limitations in the delivery of public health services within different states. While some states like Vietnam and South Korea are praised for their successful responses to the global crisis, the public health systems in other countries have seemingly struggled to manage surges in cases. A well-developed and effective public health system is one that meets the needs of communities through the achievement of primary health care objectives. This requires recognising and accounting for the complex relationships between the delivery of health services and other national priorities in politics, economics, the environment, culture and education. What lessons can Asian states draw from Covid-19 and other pandemics in strengthening their public health systems? Which states have been successful in dealing with pandemics and why? And how are pandemics linked with other global challenges? In this La Trobe Asia webinar a panel of experts will discuss these questions. Panel: Professor Vivian Lin (Public Health Practice, University of Hong Kong) Professor George Liu (School of Psychology and Public Health, La Trobe University) Dr Susan Mercado (Special Envoy of the President for Global Health Initiatives, Philippines) Chair: Dr Bec Strating (La Trobe Asia, La Trobe University) Recorded live via zoom on 2 September, 2020.

Seminar Date: March 29, 2016 Seminar Time: 1:00pm Location: Streamed Online from LIB 161B AbstractThe ability to communicate in real time (synchronous) through media such as text, audio, and video, can enhance the online learning experience by providing dynamic opportunities for social connection, collaborative problem solving, and collective reflection. However, issues related to synchronous communication include scheduling conflicts, technical support, and the perception that it is extra or busy work. In this session, we will share strategies to incorporate synchronous elements that enhance engagement and learning within online courses for instructors and students. Concrete examples of applying these synchronous strategies will be shared by an instructor.PresentersBernardo Ramirez MDAssociate Professor Department of Health Management and Informatics College of Health and Public Affairs University of Central Florida Bernardo Ramirez is an Associate Professor as well as the director of the Executive Health Services Administration and Global Health Initiatives programs for the Department of Health Management and Informatics at UCF.

In recent years there has been a tsunami of short-term healthcare volunteers going into the developing world; both faith-based and humanitarian. Recent estimates tell us that 29% of students enrolled in medical schools participate in some type of short-term global health project prior to graduation. Dental, nursing, and allied health schools are also beginning to follow suit. Yet, few churches or educational institutions have any knowledge of what constitutes best practices in global health. This workshop will review the six guidelines for best practices in global health as they appear in the book “When Healthcare Hurts: An Evidence Based Guide to Best Practices in Global Health Initiatives”. It will also review the four primary areas of global health best practices which include the following. 1. Patient Safety2. Healthcare System Integration and Collaboration3. Facilitation of Health Development 4. Community Empowerment

London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Audio News: WHO-lead Report Urges Health Systems Priorities For Global Health Initiatives 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.
