Book Description
This paper provides comparative analysis on private sector engagement for COVID-19 response in the Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR) with a specific focus on private sector health service delivery. The intention of this paper is to distil behaviours and derive lessons to strengthen governance of health systems, inclusive of the private sector in health. The study methodology included a literature review of articles published between January 2020 and March 2022 supplemented by key informant interviews with government, academic, development partner and private sector representatives. The comparative analysis highlights a range of practice in response to COVID-19. Practice built upon available institutional arrangements, organisational structures, mechanisms for coordination and information exchange. The degree to which this was effective varied and is reflective of the attributes of EMR contexts to manage change and secure essential public health functions. WHO seeks to support Member States with a practice-based and action-oriented approach to governance of the private sector in health, one that is grounded in context.

Global Health Essentials
Author: Mario C. B. Raviglione
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031338510
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 537
Book Description
This practical and handy textbook offers a succinct yet comprehensive overview of the main challenges, issues and solutions in global health in relation to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030 agenda. Subdivided into 11 parts, devoted each to a macro-topic, the book opens with an introduction to Global Health followed by an overview of the global burden of disease – from child and maternal health to communicable and non-communicable diseases. The authors further examine the social determinants of health, health systems’ features as well as innovations, governance and methods in Global Health. In consideration of the emerging discussions and ideas, and beyond the more traditional and essential elements of global health, the book also looks at the need to re-think the whole concept of global health and the importance of a “decolonized” approach that engages low and lower-middle countries fully. One entire part is then devoted to analyzing the major threats to the health of humanity such as climate change, the need for an ecological approach to health (including “One Health” approaches), and, ultimately, planetary health. Written by an international panel of more than 100 experts, this manual will be an excellent resource for students in a broad range of disciplines – from medicine and other scientific studies to economics, social science, anthropology and international relations. Pragmatic and reader-friendly, it will further be a valuable tool for policymakers, program implementers and those wishing to build knowledge on the meaning, principles and practices of global health.
