Podcasts about health development

Recorded on 31 October 2024 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Benjamin Bronnert Walker An historical approach to faith-based healthcare can offer insights into how government, medical groups, public health authorities, international organisations, and spiritual communities interact over the long term. Historical analysis provides a vital (but often under-utilised) explanatory model for developing a coherent understanding of how and why faith-based providers have shaped health over many decades. Looking back allows us new insights into intractable debates as we forge shared paths forward. By interrogating the competing actors in a health landscape such as Ghana across a century of large-scale political, economic and cultural changes, we can explore how faith-based providers have informed what global health has become. Dr Benjamin Bronnert Walker is a historian of global health and religion, and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He is the Strategic Portfolio Manager for the Diocese of Leeds in the Church of England and coordinates the Anglican Health and Community Network, the official global health network of the Anglican Communion. His book 'Religion in Global Health and Development: The Case of Twentieth Century Ghana' was published in April 2022 by McGill-Queen's University Press. The research was funded by the Wellcome Trust and he was based in the WHO Collaborating Centre for Global Health Histories at the University of York (UK). ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To listen live to future ICMDA webinars visit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Kevin Dickins - Deputy City Manager of Social and Health Development gives 980 CFPL's Mike Stubbs an update on what is being done to address homelessness and other social issues impacting Londoners and the city of London.

Last year the Canadian Province of British Columbia, launched a landmark three year pilot programme on drug decriminalisation. For a number of years now communities across Canada have been facing their own opioid crisis, as drugs like fentanyl become more easily available. Vancouver in British Columbia, whilst been one of those places always at the forefront of drug policy change, has seen an explosion in overdose deaths due to toxic drugs in recent years. So the city readily adopted the decriminalisation programme as a measure to try and help reduce the death rates. But now just over a year since its implementation, that pilot programme has been scaled back, and it now means that people found with drugs on their person in public places can be arrested again. So, on this week's Inquiry, ‘Can Canada overcome its drug overdose crisis?' Contributors: Dr. Alexander Caudarella, CEO Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction, Ottawa, Canada. Kennedy Stewart, Associate Professor, Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada. Aljona Kurbatova, Head of Centre for Health Promotion, National Institute for Health Development, Tallinn, Estonia Gillian Kolla, Assistant Professor, Memorial University, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada Presenter: Charmaine Cozier Producer: Jill Collins Researcher: Matt Toulson Editor: Tara McDermott Technical Producer: Richard Hannaford Image Credit: Supervised consumption sites in the DTES (Gary Coronado / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)

Joining me this week is Andrew Rogers, a Chartered Consultant Clinical & Forensic Psychologist with over two decades of experience spanning elite sport, business, healthcare, prison services and more. As co-director of Changing Minds UK, Andrew brings a real wealth of knowledge on the psychological aspects of high performance, resilience, and emotional wellbeing. In our conversation, we focus on mental health for sports performers, exploring the unique challenges they face and how coaches and support staff can play a pivotal role in their wellbeing.  Andrew is a guide for me as I attempt to ask pertinent questions, know that I don't know enough in this area and that I am as liable to make a mis-step, due to a growing, evolving and increasingly conversant landscape of mental health. Andrew, fortunately is a leading expert and sheds light on how awareness, stigma, and literacy have changed over the years and what that mean for us all. We discuss the specific mental health challenges encountered in the high-pressure environment of sports, how these challenges shift with escalating competition, and strategies for acclimatising to stress.  Andrew also shares insights on supporting young athletes and navigating the fine line between encouraging perseverance and recognising when to pull back. This episode is about understanding mental health in a sporting context, gaining literacy in this area, and reflecting on how we can all contribute to a healthier, more supportive environment for athletes. But whether you're a coach, a parent, or anyone interested in the intersection of psychology and performance, perhaps for your own performance, I'm sure this discussion with Andrew Rogers will be helpful as well as illuminating.

Kevin Dickins, Deputy City Manager of Social and Health Development, joins 980 CFPL's Mike Stubbs to talk about the report on homeless hubs, as well as what the homeless hub program is.

Social impact organizations and governments worldwide are under immense pressure to do more with less. We are confronting an array of complex, constantly-evolving pressures ranging from economic uncertainty, humanitarian crises, inflation, pandemics, and climate change. All of this means we need to deliver more services to more people. And, we often need to do it with flat or decreasing levels of funding.  Digital solutions have the potential to help us do more with less, to create more value for every dollar invested.  But most digital transformations either fail outright, or fail to create this sustained value. In today's episode, Jonathan Jackson and Amie Vaccaro explore a new approach called Impact Delivery designed to address the challenges we are facing in global health in development and the ways technology can and must step up to better deliver on its potential in creating a world where everyone has access to the services they need to thrive.  Topics discussed: How technology is failing global health and development Why a new approach is needed The three pillars of Impact Delivery: Better Impact, More Impact and Sustained Impact Tangible examples of what each pillar looks like in practice What this approach means for social impact organizations and governments

Ms. Lansdale is the President/CEO of the Center for Rural Health Development, Inc.. She joined the Center in 1994 and brings over 40 years' experience in health and health care resulting from her work in both the private and public health sectors. The Center is a private nonprofit that works to strengthen West Virginia's health care system and improve the health of West Virginians. Before entering public health, Sharon worked as a hospital pharmacist, including serving as the director of pharmacy at a hospital in Charleston. As a hospital pharmacist she was engaged in educating patients with diabetes about how to manage their diabetes once discharged from the hospital. This led her to the WV Bureau for Public Health where she developed the Bureau's first diabetes control program. After serving as a consultant at the Bureau for about 10 years, she became the Director of the Division of Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention. In this role, she managed the development of several chronic disease control programs and community health improvement programs such as Planned Approach to Community Health (PATCH) and Community-Oriented Primary Care (COPC). Through her role at both the WV Bureau for Public Health and Center she has focused on the health and health care needs of rural communities in West Virginia. The Center created the WV Rural Health Infrastructure Loan Fund to provide a source of affordable capital financing for health care providers and organizations in the state. Since 2001, the Center has partnered with banks and other funders to leverage over $65 million in health care infrastructure improvements in the state. Throughout her work at the Center, Sharon has focused on the linkages between both health and health care and economic development. In fall 2018, recognizing that community health and economic prosperity are inextricably linked, the Center launched Wild, Wonderful and Healthy West Virginia. Through Wild, Wonderful and Healthy West Virginia the Center works to strengthen the capacity of communities to improve the health of residents and create a community culture that supports entrepreneurial and small business development. Sharon has received recognition for her work to address health and health care disparities, especially in rural and under-served communities throughout her career. Recent recognition of note includes the CDC's Childhood Immunization Champion Award in 2012 and the Health Innovator Award by the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation in 2019 in recognition of the Foundation's 75th Anniversary.

The medical and spiritual worlds rarely intersect, but my guest felt a calling to connect the dots through her training as a physician and initiated priestess. Dr. Andrea Perez, also known as “The Spiritual Physician”, is the founder and owner of Health Development and Restorative Medicine, PC based in NYC and has extensive training in pediatrics, gynecology and adult medicine. She also holds certifications in osteopathic manipulative therapy, preventive medicine, herbal medicine, nutrition and mental health.

Andrea discovered her purpose at the age of 5, witnessing her AfroLatina mom facing discrimination during doctors' visits. She vowed to do it differently and worked to become a successful Western-trained physician. One day, her inner voice came out of nowhere and told her she must bring Western medicine and spirituality together, a gift that she needed to share with the world. In this episode, we discuss: Becoming attuned to your voice and discovering your inner strength Learning the “language” of your body The Importance of combining Western and alternative medicine Healing pain intuitively and naturally through Energetic Healing Learn more about Dr. Andrea Perez by visiting www.hdrmedicine.com Access to Dr. Perez's free gift can be found here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uOlsfiGJTbeBmJhhSAemXhZALRH_P1SXXVIPkXA_R98/edit?usp=sharing Align with your purpose!

In this interview with Heidi Matson, we explore deep issues in the mental health of leaders and learn to identify the markers of burnout & exhaustion. Heidi covers much more than the basics of healthy leadership, and reveals the research behind that reminds us that if the leadership is unhealthy, the organization cannot be healthy. Even in a business setting, research shows if the employer supports and invests in mentally healthy employees, their performance will be much greater, resulting in greater profits. Heidi also gives us tips on managing our own mental health, and reminds us of the importance of self-care, even in demanding work environment. I am confident her experience in the workplace, in ministry, and in life will benefit anyone and everyone. This is a must-listen experience. Special thanks to Heidi for taking the time to share her invaluable wisdom and experience.

The linkages between environmental health and human well-being are complex and dynamic, and researchers have developed numerous models for describing them. The models include attempts to bridge traditional academic boundaries, uniting fields of study under rubrics such as social–ecological frameworks, coupled human and natural systems, ecosystem services, and resilience theory. However, these efforts have been constrained by varying practices and a failure among practitioners to agree on consistent practices. Writing in BioScience, Jiangxiao Qiu of the University of Florida and his colleagues describe this state of affairs and propose an alternative approach to understanding the interplay of social and ecological spheres: causal chains. The authors describe these chains as an "approach to identifying logical and ordered sequences of effects on how a system responds to interventions, actions, or perturbations." The idea was originally formed as result of a workshop funded by the Packard Foundation, and Dr. Qiu joins us in this episode to discuss causal chains and their implications for the future of policy and management.

This is Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Here is the news. The State Council, China's cabinet, has decided to introduce new measures to better protect vulnerable children in China. The decision was made during a State Council executive meeting presided over by Premier Li Keqiang. Li said Children living in extremely difficult circumstances need special care and protection; and the government should work to build a safety net to better protect them. He was referring to children who endure harsh living conditions because of poverty, health problems or lack of parental custody. Major problems that these children face include severe poverty as well as a lack of medical treatment and education. A document circulated at the meeting introduced specific requirements for central ministries and local governments to provide comprehensive assistance to these children. Such efforts will include providing financial aid and special medical care coverage. Local governments are urged to fully implement compulsory education and guarantee that children's guardians fulfill their custodial responsibilities. The premier said protecting children in difficult conditions is an important part of China's efforts to build a moderately prosperous society, as well as a social safety net that leaves no one unprotected. This is Special English. The Ministry of Education has told departments and schools to check their stocks of inflammable and explosive chemicals. Education departments will check research institutions, teaching laboratories, storehouses and other sites with hazardous chemicals. Oil and gas pipelines, electric grids and other areas will also be checked. The ministry said risks found should be rectified and emergence plans made. Safety facilities, personal protective equipment and other safety facilities should be put in place and fully operational. The ministry told local departments and schools to carry out fire control checks on a regular basis, as well as a fire control education and drill. You are listening to Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. The World Health Organization and leading health experts in China are calling for the country to follow the global trend and promote plain packaging and graphic warnings on cigarette packs to reduce tobacco use. The organization's call for all countries to prepare for plain, or standardized, packaging of tobacco products came as Beijing marked the first anniversary of an anti-smoking law, and World No Tobacco Day, which fell on May 31. Bernhard Schwartlander, the organization's representative in China, said plain packaging is an evidence-based measure that can save lives and protect public health. Plain packaging makes tobacco products less attractive, stops tobacco companies using the pack as a marketing tool, and increases the effectiveness of health warnings. Schwartlander said the World Health Organization recommends plain packaging as part of a comprehensive approach to tobacco control, and it works best alongside other tobacco-control measures, including comprehensive anti-smoking laws, and bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship. The ThinkTank Research Center for Health Development is an NGO in Beijing that is committed to tobacco control. The center said China lags behind many other countries in promoting plain packaging and graphic warnings; and the country must take action right now. This is Special English. More than 2,000 industrial firms will have to move out of a Beijing district as the authorities push to improve the natural environment for what will be the city's new administrative center. The Tongzhou District announced that industrial campuses, processing plants and stud farms are among the entities that will have to relocate. Tongzhou district, which is around 40 minutes' drive from the center of Beijing, was designated a subsidiary administrative center for the city municipality last year as part of measures to tackle overcrowding in the capital. Almost 800 companies have already closed, and production halt orders have been issued to 300 polluting plants. The district plans to remove all polluting and low-end industries by the end of next year. Tongzhou District is also cleaning up its waterways and planting more trees, in an effort to increase the greenery coverage rate to 51 percent by 2020. You are listening to Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Five Beijing police officers involved in a high-profile case in which a 29-year-old man died after being taken into custody in early May have been placed under investigation. The prosecuting body in Changping district has filed a case and conducted an investigation into the police officers. Lei Yang died on May 7 around an hour after he was detained on suspicion of soliciting prostitution. Beijing Public Security Bureau said in a previous statement that Lei was uncooperative when he was stopped by plainclothes officers at a foot massage salon at 9 pm. Lei resisted arrest, bit a police officer, knocked a video camera over and attempted to escape before being handcuffed. He was taken to a hospital at 10 pm and was pronounced dead 50 minutes later. On May 19, the municipal top prosecuting authority delivered the case to the district's prosecuting body after Lei's wife applied for prosecutors to investigate the police officers involved in the incident. In its previous statement, the public security bureau said it would respect any investigation and would not attempt to shield any officers if misconduct was uncovered.

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

Professional education programs are geared toward preparing students to do curative care in healthcare settings. In order to reach into the community with preventive healthcare requires an additional set of knowledge and skills. We will look at the principles that were operative in the 1978 Alma Ata and examine what needs to be included in the education of healthcare professionals to achieve Health for All.

Best Practices in Short-term Medical MissionsIn 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

Health for All by the Year 2000 was the goal of the Alma Ata Declaration in 1978. The authors, many of them Christians, hoped to achieve access to basic healthcare for all people using a community health development approach. Yet more than 30 years later the concept languishes. What have we learned during the past 30 years that might restore the goal?

Many people involved in health outreach in developing nations realize that sustainable improvement requires that the local community be empowered rather than be seen as passive recipients of aid. But there is no clear and commonly held definition of empowerment. What does it mean? How, if at all, can it be measured? What does it take to create empowerment? MAP International and the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University are engaged in research on that topic. In addition to a thorough literature review, they have surveyed 49 global NGOs (non-governmental organizations) and faith-based organizations to learn from their thinking and experience.
