Health Policy Watch: WHO’s Big Push to Integrate Traditional Medicine into Global Healthcare Framework

This is quite a development for the lived experience of all individuals, global health and for Hodges' model. Not only for Hodges' model as a universal framework (template) and model for / of care, but the capacity of Hodges' model to conceptually and culturally encompass all data, information, knowledge and wisdom.

'The World Health Assembly delivered a landmark victory for traditional medicine and indigenous cultures Monday evening, approving a strategy that calls for increased investment in research and integrating ancient healing practices into modern healthcare systems worldwide.

'The approval marks a breakthrough moment for advocates of traditional medicine, with nations across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America celebrating the decision. Iran called it “a visionary yet realistic roadmap” to integrate thousands of years of medical like its own.

'But the strategy text shows WHO walking a careful tightrope, embracing practices that represent “accumulated wisdom and healing practices passed down through generations” while demanding they meet modern scientific evidence standards that could take decades to satisfy...'

Best wishes, Neil

New Special Issue from Global Public Health

Subject: New Special Issue from Global Public Health

Please join Global Public Health in celebrating the launch of our newest special issue:

Social inequities and contemporary struggles for collective health in Latin America

This special issue considers the legacy of the Latin American Social Medicine and Collective Health (LASM-CH) movements and other key approaches—including human rights activism and popular opposition to neoliberal governance—that have each distinguished struggles for collective health in Latin America during the 20th and now into the 21st century.

At a time when global health worldwide has been pushed to adopt increasingly conservative agendas in the wake of global financial crisis, the rise of radical-right populist politics, and the rupture of liberal democratic regimes, attention to legacies of Latin America’s epistemological innovations and social movement action are especially warranted. Examining the nexus of activism, policy, and health equity, the collection advances understanding of health politics in the region and the lessons they offer.

This special issue includes four Free Access articles. We invite you to share the links to these articles (see below) and details about the special issue across your networks.

Editorial: Exploring the relationship of threshold concepts and Hodges’ model of care from the individual to populations and global health

At the end of July I was contacted by the editor of the journal Revista CUIDARTE published by Programa de Enfermería de la Universidad de Santander UDES and invited to write an editorial. There were publication guidelines and a deadline: two weeks. Despite my astronautic aspirations my feet remained on the ground as I realised that I am surely filling a gap.

There were other family pressures at the time, but I already had the draft paper on Hodges' model and threshold concepts. After some thought and work the draft was reduced from 5600 words and 56 references to 3600 and 20 references. The example of Deprivation of Liberty was removed to include more generic subject matter in the themes of global health and development.

Whatever the reason (and editors please note...) I greatly appreciate this opportunity to further disseminate Hodges' model and threshold concepts. Greater still is the privilege to contribute to a community who provided me with one of the highlights of my nursing career in 2011.

Here is a video introduction (English):

New Zika Fact Sheet in English & Spanish - c/o [hipnet]

The Zika virus, a mosquito-borne disease, has reached epidemic proportions in Brazil and is moving north through Central America and the Caribbean. Several cases have been reported in the US and the World Health Organization estimates Zika will appear in nearly every country in our hemisphere, except the cooler areas of Canada and Chile.

To help people cope with this disease, Hesperian has rapidly developed emergency information on Zika, its symptoms, and how to take personal and community-wide precautions to limit its spread. Now available in English and Spanish, we are working on translations in Portuguese and Haitian Kreyol to ensure this health information reaches the people who need it most.

I hope you find this online, printable resource helpful. Please share it widely with your networks:

Hodges' model and three slides in Spanish: Paipa, Colombia Feb 24-25 2011

From the presentation of the Health Care Domains Model in Paipa last month here are three of the slides in Spanish - with many thanks to Luz Stella Saray and Prof. Wilson Canon Montanez for the translation. (Any mistakes below are mine in data transfer / formatting).

These slides were produced to illustrate how the model's care domains relate to some indicative health concepts, supporting the overall presentation.

The presentation was uploaded to Slideshare but I have deleted it as the formatting was slightly disrupted. I will revise and upload it again soon posting it here and no doubt in another post.

Colombia: Two Nursing Journals AQUICHAN & CUIDARTE

Two nursing journals were brought to my attention in Colombia with two possible avenues to engage.

There is scope for English speakers with abstracts provided in English and for me the editorial of Aquichan is quite pertinent to h2cm - Visibility of Nursing Knowledge.

I can not locate a cover image for Cuidarte hence the photo of some flowers.

São Paulo - A City Without Ads + BBC Paxman and secular sanity*

It's not often I get to bookshops and less often still that I buy anything. I did both recently - walking out with a copy of the latest Adbusters magazine. I've listed their website for quite a while [POLITICAL: activism] and must say as a consumer, community mental health nurse and would-be human ecologist there's a lot to read and think about....

Sustainability : Advertising : Well-being : Public Mental Health

Now, subscribed to their e-letter the Sao Paulo item proved a real revelation. A breathe of fresh... fresh... vision no less!

“The Clean City Law came from a necessity to combat pollution . . . pollution of water, sound, air, and the visual. We decided that we should start combating pollution with the most conspicuous sector – visual pollution.”

So, add to this the news at the end of 2006 or early this year of European cities starting to take light pollution seriously, to the extent of turning the lights off for a night and hey change really can happen.

If amid the advertising information overload what Adbusters refers to as mental pollution ('brain damage') there is a vacuum in terms of values, self-respect and social responsibility...; others will fill that void with what is most likely to be another form of pollution.

Jeremy Paxman, BBC presenter and media luminary was on the Beeb's radio 4 this a.m. highlighting the need for media with a conscious. His lecture at the Edinburgh TV festival made the news. He criticised the BBC and the media in general regards quality, public service and the pursuit of the bottom-line. An Adbusters article describes problems in the Canadian media. This appeal has been heard before: but I wonder if there's a realisation finally sinking home that in a 21st century society how do you achieve secular sanity? In the UK the spate of terrible gun-crime killings, youth gangs, the TV phoney phone-in scandals and the need for inspirational creativity in the media is really fuelling debate. If the media reporting is correct this past week then some elements of the media - music industry included - are into trafficking. From a very early age the public is subject to an info-toxic OD. Is this the real reason why in health care we need information prescriptions?

How can society change to become sustainable, while struggling to swim in this advertising torrent?

I've no universal panacea Mr Paxman for the rehab of the prison population, the feral kids on the streets and the quest for an agreement for quality standards and public service throughout the media; but if as you say you want to hear from people - well, amid your busy schedule take a look at this interpersonal-social resource.

Look upon it as one of the cognitive antidotes for our times.
