Strengthening #primary_health_care in a changing climate

A new article by #Andy_Haines, #Elizabeth_Wambui_Kimani-Murage, and #Anya_Gopfert, “Strengthening primary health care in a changing climate,” outlines how climate change is already impacting health systems worldwide, with primary health care (PHC) workers bearing the immediate burden of response. Haines and colleagues make a compelling case for strengthening primary health care (PHC) as a cornerstone of climate-resilient health systems. First, they note that approximately 90% of essential universal health coverage interventions are delivered through #PHC settings, making these facilities and workers the backbone of healthcare delivery. This is particularly significant because PHC systems address many of the health outcomes most affected by climate change, including non-communicable (...)

Integrating #community-based_monitoring (CBM) into a comprehensive learning-to-action model
▻https://redasadki.me/2024/07/14/integrating-community-based-monitoring-cbm-into-a-comprehensive-learning-t

According to Gavi, “community-based monitoring” or “CBM” is a process where service users collect data on various aspects of health service provision to monitor program implementation, identify gaps, and collaboratively develop solutions with providers. By engaging service users, CBM aims to foster greater accountability and responsiveness to local needs. #The_Geneva_Learning_Foundation’s innovative learning-to-action model offers a compelling framework within which CBM could be applied to #immunization challenges. The model’s comprehensive design creates an enabling environment for effectively integrating diverse monitoring data sources – and this could include community perspectives. #health_workers as trusted community advisers… and members of the community A distinctive feature of TGLF’s (...)

Learn health, but beware of the behaviorist trap

The #Global_health community has long grappled with the challenge of providing effective, scalable training to health workers, particularly in resource-constrained settings. In recent years, digital learning platforms have emerged as a potential solution, promising to deliver accessible, engaging, and impactful training at scale. Imagine a digital platform intended to train health workers at scale. Their #Theory of change rests on a few key assumptions: On the surface, this seems sensible. Mobile optimization recognizes health workers’ technological realities. Multimedia content seems more engaging than pure text. Assessments appear to verify learning. Incentives promise to drive uptake. Scale feels synonymous with success. While well-intentioned, such a platform risks falling into the (...)

English version | Version française Aujourd’hui, à l’occasion de la Journée mondiale contre le paludisme, la Fondation Apprendre Genève est fière de se tenir aux côtés des travailleurs de la santé en première ligne dans la lutte contre cette maladie. Le paludisme reste un problème de santé majeure, affectant de manière disproportionnée les communautés d’Afrique et d’Asie. C’est pourquoi la lutte contre le paludisme sera au cœur de #Teach_to_Reach 10, un événement phare qui permet à des milliers de professionnels de santé du monde entier de partager leurs expériences, leurs réussites et leurs défis. Teach to Reach est une plateforme qui facilite l’apprentissage par les pairs afin de mener des actions locales sur des questions de santé urgentes. Lors de Teach to Reach 10 le 21 juin 2024, nous nous (...)

Prioritizing the health and care #workforce shortage: protect, invest, together
▻https://redasadki.me/2024/02/12/prioritizing-the-health-and-care-workforce-shortage-protect-invest-togethe

The severe #global_shortage of health and care workers poses a dangerous threat to health systems, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The authors of the article “Prioritising the health and care workforce shortage: protect, invest, together”, including six health ministers and the WHO Director-General, assert that this workforce crisis requires urgent action and propose “protect, invest, together” to tackle it. Deep protection of the existing workforce, they assert, is needed through improved working conditions, fair compensation, upholding rights, addressing discrimination and violence, closing gender inequities, and implementing the WHO #Global_health and Care Worker Compact to ensure dignified working environments. All countries must prioritize retaining workers to (...)

How do we reframe health #Performance_management within complex #adaptive_systems?
▻https://redasadki.me/2023/10/16/how-do-we-reframe-health-performance-management-within-complex-adaptive-sy

We need a conceptual framework that situates health performance management within complex adaptive systems. This is a summary of an important paper by #Tom_Newton-Lewis et al. It describes such a conceptual framework that identifies the factors that determine the appropriate balance between directive and enabling approaches to performance management in a given context. Existing performance management approaches in many low- and middle-income country health systems are largely directive, aiming to control behaviour using targets, performance monitoring, incentives, and answerability to hierarchies. Health systems are complex and adaptive: performance outcomes arise from interactions between many interconnected system actors and their ability to adapt to pressures for change. In my view, (...)
