Mashup Score: 16UK’s evolving role in global health - 5 day(s) ago
The focus should be on equal partnerships and collaboration As an election year in the UK, 2024 is an auspicious time for the politics of health, with critical implications for the international as well as domestic space. What are the opportunities and challenges for the UK’s position in global health? Over the past three decades, the UK has been an agenda setting and technical leader, as well as a major donor in global health activities. The national health service serves as a beacon for universal health coverage.1 However, 14 years of austerity policies,2 coupled with Brexit,3 have weakened public health infrastructure in the UK. Internationally, its contributions and impact, as well as reputation, are mostly in decline, because of substantial reductions in official development assistance since 2019, highlighted in recent Center for Global Development analysis.4 The UK government’s global health framework for 2023-25,5 emphasises the sustainable development goals, the need to achieve

There has been increasing recognition of gender-based inequity as a barrier to successful policy implementation. This consensus, coupled with an increasing frequency of emergencies in human and animal populations, including infectious disease events, has prompted policy makers to re-evaluate gender-sensitivity in emergency management planning. Seeking to identify key publications relating to gendered impacts and considerations across diverse stakeholders in different types of animal health emergencies, we conducted a non-exhaustive, targeted scoping review. We developed a matrix for both academic and policy literature that separated animal health emergencies into two major categories: humanitarian crises and infectious disease events. We then conducted semi-structured interviews with key animal health experts. We found minimal evidence of explicit gender responsive planning in animal health emergencies, whether humanitarian or infectious disease events. This was particularly salient in

WHO has determined a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) seven times, and beyond this nomenclature declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. Under the International Health Regulations (IHR), and through their operationalisation in the joint external evaluation (JEE), governments are urged to create suitable legislation to be able to enact a response to a public health emergency. Whether the pandemic declaration had a greater effect than a PHEIC in encouraging goverments to act, however, remains conjecture, as there is no systemic analysis of what each term means in practice and whether either has meaningful legal implications at the national level.

With several replenishment campaigns set for 2024-2025, a fundraising pileup is on the horizon. Close to a dozen major development funds—including the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA), thematic funds like Gavi, and new entities like the Loss and Damage Fund—could aim to raise over $100 billion from donors over the next two years, according to our projections.

Mashup Score: 8How can gender considerations be better integrated into animal health emergency preparedness and response? - 3 month(s) ago
Abstract Global and national authorities have not historically approached animal health emergencies through a gendered lens. Yet these events almost certainly have gendered dimensions, such as differential engagement of women or men depending on their culturally accepted or assigned roles for animal care; risk of exposure to zoonoses; and access to emergency resources during response and recovery. Despite the role that gender seems to play with respect to animal health emergencies, little research has been conducted to better understand such dynamics, and little policy has been promulgated to address it in a way that optimizes response while ensuring equitable outcomes. This piece summarizes 3 key themes that emerged from a panel discussion on gender and animal health emergencies at the World Organisation for Animal Health Global Conference on Emergency Management in April 2023. These themes were differential gendered exposure to pathogens; a lack of equitable gender representation in
