Le Fonds mondial face aux querelles de répartition ?

L’année prochaine, le Fonds mondial se mettra en quête de moyens financiers pour la prochaine phase de financement 2026-2028. Va alors se poser la question de savoir comment répartir les fonds entre les trois maladies que sont le sida, la tuberculose et le paludisme ?

Népal : soins respectueux pour la mère et le nouveau-né

Enfants du Monde "En 2024 au Népal, il arrive encore, au cours des soins de santé, que des femmes et des nouveau-nés soient victimes de violences verbales ou physiques, de stigmatisation, de discrimination, d’examens médicaux effectués sans leur consentement, ou encore de violation de confidentialité. Enfants du Monde, en collaboration avec l’ONG locale Green Tara Népal et le Centre National de Formation en Santé, participe aux efforts du pays pour améliorer la qualité des soins avec une formation qui a été proposée à près de 200 prestataires de soins de la Province de Lumbini. La formation utilise des techniques d'apprentissage innovantes et offre un soutien pour faciliter un changement de comportement qui se sont révélées efficaces, avec une adhésion forte des prestataires aux valeurs liées au respect des droits des femmes et nouveau-nés dans les soins. Ces résultats prometteurs ont convaincu le Centre National de Formation en Santé à reproduire la formation à l’échelle nationale qui prévoit son intégration dans le curriculum national de formation des accoucheuses qualifiées."

Digital governance needed to tackle commercial determinants of health

By Ilona Kickbusch and Louise Holly

The Lancet "In the Lancet Series on the commercial determinants of health, authors warn that policy inertia is enabling the products and practices of some commercial actors to cause substantial harms to health. In the digital environment, the actions of commercial actors (including those involved in social media, information and communications technology, and digital health solutions, to name just a few) are contributing both directly and indirectly to health and wellbeing."

African Governments Falling Short on Healthcare Funding

Slow Progress 23 Years After Landmark Abuja Declaration

Human Rights Watch "African governments are falling far short in their commitments to prioritize public spending on health care, contributing to widespread inequalities in healthcare access and outcomes, Human Rights Watch and the Kampala-based Initiative for Social and Economic Rights (ISER) said today. As the 23rd anniversary of African Union states’ historic commitment approaches, new data reveal alarming stagnation, widening regional inequalities, and pointing up the need to correct course."

How to read Europe's future development vision

Brussels says it is too often trying to do "everything, everywhere, all at once."

Devex Pro "A 20-page thunderclap hit European development watchers this week when Politico published the European Commission's draft vision for how its development policy should look for the next five years. However, anyone “truly shocked" — as the NGO confederation CONCORD claimed to be — by the document’s plan for development assistance to be recast as “investment” in a three-part offer (together with trade and macroeconomic assistance) to countries in the global south has not been paying attention. The commission has been talking like this for years."

Rafah incursion would substantially increase mortality and morbidity and further weaken an already broken health system

Statement by the World Health Organization (WHO)

World Health Organization (WHO) "WHO is deeply concerned that a full-scale military operation in Rafah could lead to a bloodbath. More than 1.2 million people are currently sheltering in the area, many unable to move anywhere else. A new wave of displacement would exacerbate overcrowding, further limiting access to food, water, health and sanitation services, leading to increased disease outbreaks, worsening levels of hunger, and additional loss of lives."

The Depth of The Divide: Reluctance to Link Pathogen Access to Benefit-Sharing. An Approaching Tipping Point in the Negotiations as Countries Stick to Their Positions

"We bring you this edition as these negotiations appear to be at a tipping point that would determine whether countries will be able to continue with these discussions or if this will fail." - Priti Patnaik

Geneva Health Files "WHO member states finally began text-based negotiations on a new Pandemic Agreement at WHO this week after more than two years since the process commenced. This comes far too late, with just over a handful of negotiating days left to conclude this process. As a result, the risk of a weak text emerging out of this process is nearly certain now."

‘Get it Done’ or Don’t Block Consensus, Tedros Urges Pandemic Agreement Negotiators

Health Policy Watch (HPW) "“Get this done” – and if you disagree, don’t block consensus, was the heartfelt plea made by World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyessus to member states negotiating a pandemic agreement on Friday (3 May). Tedros was addressing the ‘stocktake’ in the middle of the final 10-day meeting of the intergovernmental negotiating body (INB), and it was clear that member states were nowhere close to the finish. “You are here for the same reason this organisation was created in the first place – because global threats demand a global response,” said Tedros."

Strengthening surveillance, preparedness, and response to health crises through the operationalization of the humanitarian-development nexus – challenges and lessons learnt

Side Event at the Geneva Health Forum

Terre des Hommes Fondation "The operationalization of the humanitarian-development nexus in health plays a crucial role in strengthening the surveillance, preparation, and response to healthcare crises by local health systems and communities, especially in the current context of local conflict and global climate change. (...) This event is expected to generate a wealth of knowledge, insights, and collaboration opportunities that can further support the integration of development and humanitarian efforts in the health sector. By analysing experiences, sharing good practices, highlighting policy changes, and addressing challenges, the event can contribute to a more cohesive and effective approach to respond to health crises in complex and dynamic environments."

Towards a Global Code of Practice that promotes the rights of the health and care workforce

Side Event at the 77th WHA 2024 Geneva / In-person event only, in Geneva, on Thursday 30 May 2024

Medicus Mundi International (MMI) "The organizing team wants the Code to be(come) a strong, relevant, and effective instrument, at the same time acknowledging the dire realities behind the somewhat flattering and rather data-driven reports that Member States are submitting. What are the stories of health and care workers brave enough to undertake their move to another country? What are the realities of health workers in countries with health and care worker shortages? Is it at all possible to achieve the ideal of the so-called ‘triple win’, i.e. benefits for migrating health and care workers, for sending countries and for receiving countries? We will explore these questions through testimonials and stories by people grounded in reality, and you will have the opportunity to engage in the discussion with your own perspectives.

Medicus Mundi International (MMI) The 5th round of reporting on the implementation of the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel has kicked off.

On 15 May 2024, the Medicus Mundi International Network (MMI), Public Services International (PSI) and Wemos will organize a webinar on why and how civil society organizations can contribute to this 5th reporting round. As civil society “friends of the Code”, the organizers of this webinar are keen to see the Code further developing into a strong, relevant, and effective instrument. We therefore call on civil society organizations alike to provide, vie the reporting instrument, the input and evidence needed to improve the Code and its implementation."

UN expert attacks ‘exploitative’ world economy in fight to save planet

Outgoing special rapporteur David Boyd says ‘there’s something wrong with our brains that we can’t understand how grave this is’

The Guardian "The race to save the planet is being impeded by a global economy that is contingent on the exploitation of people and nature, according to the UN’s outgoing leading environment and human rights expert. David Boyd, who served as UN special rapporteur on human rights and the environment from 2018 to April 2024, told the Guardian that states failing to take meaningful climate action and regulating polluting industries could soon face a slew of lawsuits."

Les plus pauvres du continent africain et la production agricole locale sont mis en danger par la hausse des températures, qui n’est pas assez documentée, estime, dans une tribune au « Monde », Marie de Vergès.

Le Monde "A Kayes, une ville du sud-ouest du Mali, le mercure est monté le 3 avril jusqu’à 48,5 °C. Du jamais-vu dans le pays. La veille, 5 000 kilomètres plus à l’est, au Soudan du Sud, les écoles venaient tout juste de rouvrir après deux semaines d’interruption forcée pour cause de températures insupportables, avec des pics à 45 °C. A Kinshasa, la capitale de la République démocratique du Congo, les dernières semaines se sont aussi déroulées dans une ambiance suffocante. « La chaleur, on dirait une publicité de l’enfer », grinçait mi-mars sur X l’un des habitants de la mégapole."

Planetary health: challenging power and privilege is key to a fairer and healthier future

British Medical Journal (bmj) - Global Health "This year marks the 15th anniversary of the first publication of the framework of “planetary boundaries,” which describes the biophysical limits of Earth systems that, if breached, could have devastating consequences for humanity. Six years after this publication, the report of the Rockefeller-Lancet Commission on Planetary Health defined the concept as “the health of human civilisations and the natural systems on which they depend.” Though progress has been made in the field of planetary health, we need stronger commitment and action for justice and transformative change."

Out now! New GH5050 report on gender justice and planetary health

Gh5050 is launching its first ever report on planetary health at the Planetary Health Summit (PHAM2024) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Global Health 5050 "As Earth’s natural systems deteriorate, marginalised communities bear the brunt, often excluded from solutions. Our report delves into how gender considerations shape global responses to planetary health crises. Our analysis of 114 organisations reveals gaps in gender integration in planetary health efforts. While some recognise gender inequalities’ structural roots, many overlook gender entirely. Transformative gender justice demands inclusive leadership. While progress has been made in gender parity, disparities persist—particularly in representation from low- and middle-income countries. This report complements our annual Global Health 50/50 Report, highlighting organisations’ commitments to gender equality in global health."

Global Fund Hails Launch of Africa Health Workforce Investment Charter

The Global Fund "The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the Global Fund), warmly welcomes the launch of the Africa Health Workforce Investment Charter, which was signed today in Windhoek, Namibia, at the Africa Health Workforce Investment Forum. The African continent bears a quarter of the global disease burden and endures over 100 health emergencies a year. Yet half of the global shortage in health workers affects the continent, which has only 4% of the global workforce. To date, 1 in 3 qualified health workers in Africa is unemployed or underemployed, given challenging macro-economic contexts, imbalances in health labor markets, unfavorable working conditions in health, and safeguarding and security risks. The World Health Organization (WHO) forecasts that its African Region (47 countries) will face an estimated shortfall of 5.3 million health workers by 2030."

From Innovation to Scale: Advancing the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of Young People

Documentation MMS Conference 2024

Medicus Mundi Schweiz Young people face considerable challenges in addressing their SRHR needs, encompassing prevention of unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, early marriage, and sexual coercion and violence. In many countries in the global South there is an overarching issue exacerbating these SRHR challenges which is the lack of solutions tailored to the youth's unique needs and societal contexts. The MMS SRHR Conference 2024 explored what kind of locally led and low cost innovations are in place to reach young people, who are the drivers of such projects and initiatives and how can these locally led innovations be scaled up.

Applying Photovoice Methodology to Explore SRH Among Adolescents in Rural Mozambique Mining Areas: Critical Reflections and lesson learned

Presentation by Olga Cambaco (Swiss TPH) at the MMS Conference 24 April 2024

MMS Conference 2024 There is a recognized need for innovative methods to elicit the perspective of adolescents on public health issues, particularly when addressing sensitive topics such as the impact of mining projects on their health. Participatory approaches such as “photovoice” allow for deep engagement of vulnerable populations, including adolescents. To date, no studies was found that have used photovoice to gain insight into adolescentsʼ perspectives in mining areas. In this study, we discuss the application of the photovoice method to understand adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health (SRH) in rural mining areas in Mozambique.

Both school attendance and performance showed improvements over time, while community awareness of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) increased significantly. The end evaluation revealed a marked shift in community perceptions, with 99% of Gombe's population viewing early pregnancy unfavorably. Moreover, the community exhibited a 9-times greater engagement with adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) sessions than a neighboring village and knowledge on SRHR was almost 20% higher than the other village."

Comment promouvoir un partenariat éthique et responsable ?

Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève "Depuis les années 70, les pratiques des communautés hospitalières ont profondément évolué à la lumière des enjeux de santé publique, notamment la transition épidémiologique ou les impacts environnementaux sur la santé. Les perceptions éthiques dans les soins et la recherche ont également été profondément revisitées. Des attentes légitimes et partagées visent une équité Nord-Sud dans les projets de coopération hospitalière, que ce soit dans les objectifs, les modalités de mise en œuvre ou les financements. Les forces et faiblesses des systèmes de santé, mises en évidence lors de la pandémie COVID-19, imposent de réfléchir à nos pratiques. Enfin, les efforts nécessaires de décarbonation sont par également à intégrer dans les projets de coopération hospitalière internationale. Le séminaire, hébergé par les Hôpitaux universitaires de Genève, abordera ces questions en associant étroitement les différents acteurs concernés et cherchera à identifier les bonnes pratiques à mettre-en-oeuvre."
