As the United States enters an election year with huge international stakes, it is easy to be pessimistic that the value of continued US leadership in global health, including pandemic preparedness, will be the subject of prominent debate in the 2024 elections. Geopolitical crises in Ukraine, Israel-Palestine, and China-Taiwan dominate attention and policy. Climate, debt overhang, food insecurity, and humanitarian crises compete for attention. The flagship President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has lost prominence. President Biden has said little on the campaign trail about the value of global health to US national interests. If Donald Trump is the Republican candidate, he will certainly say little positive about global health.

Mashup Score: 16Lessons from mine action: integrated care for civilians in conflict - 6 month(s) ago
We applaud the 80 member countries who co-sponsored the World Health Assembly resolution, Integrated Emergency, Critical, and Operative Care for Universal Health Coverage and Protection From Health Emergencies, adopted in 2023.1 This mandate adds to the growing imperative to provide integrated care for patients who are acutely ill and injured globally. The emergency, critical, and operative framework is situated in a broader context that includes injury prevention, acute care, and long-term rehabilitation.

Mashup Score: 0Impacts of performance-based financing on health system performance: evidence from the Democratic Republic of Congo - BMC Medicine - 7 month(s) ago
Background Health systems’ weakness remains one of the primary obstacles towards achieving universal access to quality healthcare in low-income settings. Performance-based financing (PBF) programs have been increasingly used to increase access to quality care in LMICs. However, evidence on the impacts of these programs remains fragmented and inconclusive. We analyze the health system impacts of the PBF program in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), one of the largest such programs introduced in LMICs to date. Methods We used a health systems perspective to analyze the benefits of PBF relative to unconditional financing of health facilities. Fifty-eight health zones in six provinces were randomly assigned to either a control group (28 zones) in which facilities received unconditional transfers or to a PBF program (30 zones) that started at the end of 2016. Follow-up data collection took place in 2021–2022 and included health facility assessments, health worker interviews, direct
