The Special Programme for
Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) invites
researchers, living and working in the developing countries,
to apply for one of ten 12-month career development fellowships
on Clinical Research & Development at selected pharmaceutical
companies and related institutions globally. The goal
is to develop human resources to promote high quality
R&D in the disease endemic countries (DEC) in the
areas of project management, regulatory compliance and
good practices. It is expected that qualified professional
will be able to enhance DEC product development capacity
on diagnostics, drugs and vaccines against infectious
diseases that disproportionately impact low income countries.
The programme will train individuals in situ with relevant
partners in order to develop specialized skills not readily
taught in academic centres, including inter alia R&D
project management, regulatory compliance and good practices.
Upon completing their fellowships, the individuals are
expected to return to their home institutes and assume
a leading role and become valuable resources in the global
effort on R&D for neglected infectious diseases.
The proposed training programme extends TDR's work in
empowering DEC scientists to lead, manage and direct vaccine
trials against AIDS/HIV, malaria, tuberculosis and other
neglected tropical diseases and is based on a successful
model developed between GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals (GSK)
and TDR over the past eight years. |

Emergencies, disasters and
other crises are increasing in number and magnitude, and
are affecting multitude of vulnerable and unprotected
people. Public health systems and social safety nets in
many countries become further weakened and are easily
overwhelmed. The added value of humanitarian work is also
challenged, and reforms to improve quality, accountability
and predictability of response are changing the ways humanitarian
organizations work.
The purpose of this Course is to prepare professionals
with knowledge and experience in different public health
and related fields to work effectively, efficiently and
safely in the design, implementation, management and/or
coordination of emergency response and early recovery.

The health systems of countries
in crisis are often weak and unable to address the increased
health needs of the population. Moreover, health workers
in these countries often have limited capacity to analyse
the major features and weaknesses of the health system.
This lack of capacity hampers the formulation of appropriate
sector strategies and plans. As a result, emergency appeals
and response interventions are often prepared based on
inadequate evidence. This poses major challenges to both
Governments and the international community.
This course aims to address these constraints as part
of a broader learning programme to improve the analytical
and planning capacity of Ministries of Health and agencies
in countries in chronic crisis. The overall objective
of the programme is to strengthen health professionals'
ability to analyse health systems in countries in crisis;
develop adequate response and recovery strategies; and
plan and implement effective interventions. The course
organizers will mentor selected participants following
their return to their countries.

No other $ 5 trillion economic
sector would be happy with so little investment in research
related to its core agenda: the reduction of health inequalities;
the organization of people-centred care; and the development
of better, more effective public policies. – The
world health report 2008 Mark your calendar now –
the World Health Organization and partners will convene
the inaugural global symposium on health systems research
on 16-19 November
2010. Researchers, policy-makers, funders, and other stakeholders
representing
diverse constituencies will gather in Montreux, Switzerland
to share evidence, identify
significant knowledge gaps, and set a research agenda
that reflects the needs of lowand
middle-income countries.
Achieving and sustaining universal health coverage requires
attention to a broad range of issues that are central
to health systems performance. This includes drawing on
the six interdependent health system building blocks –
finance, workforce, services, technologies, information,
and governance – and understanding how policies
and programmes from within and beyond the health sector
can be developed and implemented effectively, efficiently,
and equitably.
Although universal health coverage is highly country
and context specific, rigorous scientific research has
the potential to generate evidence to inform better policy
and practice within and across countries. For example,
robust methodologies could be instrumental in identifying
how the services for HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, immunization
and maternal and child health can be scaled up to reach
the poor and disadvantaged more quickly and sustainably
in low-income countries. Similarly, prospective monitoring
and evaluation of universal health coverage policies in
middle-income countries can help to better target the
vulnerable populations and make important mid-course corrections. |

Every two years, WHO co-sponsors
the World Conference on Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion.
Considered the major scientific platform for furthering
knowledge on violence and injuries, the World Conference
draws around 1,200 of the world’s leading researchers,
practitioners and advocates from more than 130 countries.
The event is hosted and organized by Liverpool John Moores
University, a WHO Collaborating Centre for Violence Prevention.
The overall theme is "Safe and Equitable
Communities". Topics include among others
prevention of violence; prevention of unintentional injuries;
occupational safety; and trauma care and disaster management.
While primarily a scientific gathering, the World Conference
increasingly draws policy-makers. Two important pre-meetings
to the 10th World Conference will convene policy-makers
from the health sector:
* the European Public Health Ministerial Conference on
Injury and Violence Prevention; and
* the Third Global Meeting of Ministry of Health Focal
Points for Violence and Injury Prevention.
These two events contribute to bridging the science of
what works to prevent violence and injuries with the policies
that lead to action in countries.

On 16-22 August 2009, Durban
will play host to the 57th Session of the International
Statistical Institute, the first in Sub-Saharan Africa.
An ISI Session, held biennially, provides a platform for
the gathering of over 5000 of the world’s statisticians
from public, private, research and educational institutions
to share experience in a diverse range of statistical
issues. The theme of this Session is aptly titled “Statistics:
our past, present and future”, as South Africa and
the African continent celebrate a revitalization of statistics
and statistical development.
The goal of the Special Topic Meeting at the ISI 2009
Session is to promote statistical discourse on measuring
health workforce inequalities and the implications for
policy and planning. Contributed papers will focus on
methodological developments and applications for measuring
health workforce inequalities, with special attention
to monitoring trends and evaluating their impacts on health
systems performance and population health outcomes.
The health workforce is broadly defined to include all
those who promote and preserve health as well as those
who diagnose and treat disease. Also included are health
management and support workers – those who help
make the health system function but who do not provide
health services directly. Inequalities in the health labour
market may refer to, for example, workforce imbalances
by occupation, geographical typology, place of work or
gender.
The STCPM will take place on 18 August 2009 from 15:30-17:45
at the Durban International Convention Centre. Contributed
papers will represent different experiences from selected
low and middle income countries, including Brazil, Mexico
and Ethiopia. Travel awards for researchers to present
their work at the STCMP are being provided by WHO/HRH.
The final papers will be published in a forthcoming WHO
publication on health workforce inequalities.

The Global Health Workforce
Alliance, the Prince Mahidol Award (PMA) Conference and
the World Health Organization are delighted to announce
that they will jointly convene the second Global Forum
on Human Resources for Health in Bangkok, Thailand in
the first quarter of 2011.
Since the endorsement of the Kampala Declaration and
Agenda for Global Action at the first-ever Global Forum
on Human Resources for Health held in Kampala, Uganda
in March 2008, significant commitments and unprecedented
levels of action relating to strengthening the health
workforce have been made. As a result of these global
and national efforts, several countries have made significant
progress in improving their citizens' access to quality
health care supported by appropriate levels of trained
health workers. Nevertheless, the global health workforce
crisis continues with millions of health workers needed
to bridge the chronic gaps.
The second Global Forum on Human Resources for Health
will review and assess progress made on the Kampala Declaration
and Agenda for Global Actions; celebrate successes and
identify gaps and new challenges for the health workforce
crisis.
We hope that the Forum will provide an extraordinary
platform for consensus and capacity building, sharing
and exploring solutions, and will further galvanize the
global movement that is emerging as a response to the
increasingly pertinent human resources for health crisis. |

A successful health care
system depends heavily on an adequately sized and well-trained
workforce. The delivery of health services requires sufficient
financial resources, up-to-date
technology, and, above all, a productive health workforce.
However, in many countries today, the
performance of health workers is weakened by a large number
of shortcomings and bottlenecks,
including inadequate training, lack of continuing education,
supply and demand imbalances,
geographic maldistribution, insufficient work coordination,
overlapping work domains, adverse
working conditions, absence of professional incentives,
etc. All these negative factors, if not
corrected by a strong process of management and planning,
decrease the efficiency of the health
care system and reduce the productivity of health workers,
fueling their emigration to other
countries or directing them to careers outside the health
sector.
The participants are invited to contribute papers on
the various issues concerning the health
workforce; in particular efforts designed to measure and
improve performance. The themes
suggested are briefly presented hereafter:
- Measurement of workforce performance
- Observation of the mutual relationship of health workforce
performance and health
system performance.
- Action for improving workforce performance
