Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alma-Ata Conference on Primary Health Care in 1978 mobilized a "primary health care (PHC) movement that undertook to tackle the politically, socially and economically unacceptable health inequalities in all countries." The Declaration of Alma-Ata was clear about the values to be strengthened--social justice, equity and the right to better health for all. Most countries of the South-East Asia Region undertook a variety of initiatives to translate these values into tangible reforms, and many achieved commendable success. One long-term Impact has been that, today, health equity enjoys increased prominence and acceptance In the discourse of political leaders and ministries of health. This book is an attempt to capture some of the PHC-related success stories in the South-East Asia Region, the benchmark for the choice being that all of these efforts earned global recognition by being awarded the prestigious Sasakawa Health Prize of the World Health Organization. Apart from being interesting case studies they hold many valuable lessons for health development today, to "put people at the center of health care."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The World Health Organization's history spans more than six decades. The past twenty years has been a particularly busy period in the organization's development, given the transition from international to global health cooperation and thus the need to adapt to major changes in its operating environment. Consequently, the WHO has been a direct part of new institutional arrangements and has shared in increased funding to provide for global health. It has also had to adapt its activities and programs in response to rival initiatives, leading to many changes--not only to the names of specific parts of the WHO but also to the nature of their activities. This second edition explores the organization's institutional complexity."--Back cover.

Book Synopsis Making the Impossible Possible by : Yohei Sasakawa
Download or read book Making the Impossible Possible written by Yohei Sasakawa and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-27 with total page 858 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease that mainly affects the skin and peripheral nerves. Left untreated, it can cause progressive and permanent disability. But a diagnosis of leprosy can have consequences that go far beyond the disease's physical manifestations. The age-old stigma associated with leprosy can result in severe social discrimination that robs people of opportunities in life and condemns them to society's margins. This book is the most detailed account yet of Yohei Sasakawa's quest, over two decades as WHO Goodwill Ambassador for Leprosy Elimination, to work for a world without leprosy and the discrimination it causes. It chronicles his travels to remote communities around the world to hear directly from those affected by the disease, as well as his meetings with policy-makers, government leaders and heads of state to advocate for renewed commitment to the fight against leprosy, including measures to protect the human rights of those it affects. While much progress has been made, completing 'the last mile' in leprosy eradication is the hardest part of the journey. Making the Impossible Possible highlights the author's unflagging resolve to ensure that all involved stay the course.

Book Synopsis Health in Ruins by : César Ernesto Abadía-Barrero
Download or read book Health in Ruins written by César Ernesto Abadía-Barrero and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-09 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Health in Ruins César Ernesto Abadía-Barrero chronicles the story of El Materno—Colombia’s oldest maternity and neonatal health center and teaching hospital—over several decades as it faced constant threats of government shutdown. Using team-based and collaborative ethnography to analyze the social life of neoliberal health policy, Abadía-Barrero details the everyday dynamics around teaching, learning, and working in health care before, during, and after privatization. He argues that health care privatization is not only about defunding public hospitals; it also ruins rich traditions of medical care by denying or destroying ways of practicing medicine that challenge Western medicine. Despite radical cuts in funding and a corrupt and malfunctioning privatized system, El Materno’s professors, staff, and students continued to find ways to provide innovative, high-quality, and noncommodified health care. By tracking the violences, conflicts, hopes, and uncertainties that characterized the struggles to keep El Materno open, Abadía-Barrero demonstrates that any study of medical care needs to be embedded in larger political histories.
Book Synopsis A Global Impact by : Shigeki Sakamoto
Download or read book A Global Impact written by Shigeki Sakamoto and published by Hurst Publishers. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘The leprosy epidemic is slowly but surely fading away,’ says WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. The number of leprosy patients in the world was once in the millions, but new cases have declined to around 200,000 a year, thanks to the efforts of governments, the WHO, NGOs and organisations of persons affected by leprosy. Amid this changing landscape, Yohei Sasakawa has led various initiatives as the World Health Organization’s Goodwill Ambassador for Leprosy Elimination, and as Chairman of The Nippon Foundation. Marking the twentieth anniversary of Mr Sasakawa’s appointment as a leprosy elimination ambassador, this book recalls the initiatives he has promoted and led, and analyses their value and effectiveness, with a view to identifying lessons to be learned. The volume’s expert contributors focus on five themes promoted and driven forward by Mr Sasakawa: Eliminating Leprosy as a Public Health Problem; Leprosy as a Human Rights Issue; the Establishment of the Rights of Primary Stakeholders; Expanding the Range of Awareness- Raising Activities and Developing New Partners; and Leprosy Control in the Post-Elimination Era. In synthesising and assessing these efforts, A Global Impact offers an important contribution to the future elaboration of measures against leprosy, and infectious diseases generally.
Book Synopsis No Matter Where the Journey Takes Me by : Yohei Sasakawa
Download or read book No Matter Where the Journey Takes Me written by Yohei Sasakawa and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leprosy has tormented mankind since records began. For much of its long history it was without cure--a disfiguring disease that stigmatized those it affected, isolating them from society. Today there is an effective treatment, but the last mile to achieve a leprosy-free world is the hardest. Now approaching eighty years old, one Japanese philanthropic activist has played a key role in global efforts against leprosy, both as head of a private foundation and as the World Health Organization's 'Goodwill Ambassador for Leprosy Elimination'. In this book, he lays out his personal mission and philosophy, and explains how his father, the politician and philanthropist Ryoichi Sasakawa, influenced his decision to make leprosy elimination his life's work. Yohei Sasakawa has visited more than 100 countries, motivating political leaders, raising awareness via the media, encouraging frontline health workers, and helping to empower persons affected by leprosy and their families to speak out for their rights. His book is a validation of the path taken by a father and son to change the course of leprosy history, and to transform the circumstances of those affected by the disease for the better.

Book excerpt: The intimate, private, and heart wrenching stories told in this book, the first of its kind in Australia, will penetrate the hearts and souls of even the most hardened reader. Told with incredible dignity and humility, each of the individual and deeply personal stories recounted is a powerful testimony to the gross inhumanity and brutal capacity of white people in Australia - colonists who selectively destroy and humiliate, without remorse, the lives and souls of their fellow black Australians. In Our Own Right: Black Australian Nurses' Stories provides a powerful catalyst for questioning and calling into question the taken-for-granted humanity of us all.
