“Global Health Research”?
32 International Health: Feature Article Volume 3 No. 1, 2006 INTERNATIONAL HEALTH: FEATURE ARTICLE What is Canada Doing About “Global Health Research”? Vic Neufeld, MD, FRCPC ABSTRACT The worldwide investment in health research is currently about US$100 billion. Of this amount, less than 10% is targeted on the problems of societies that bear 90% of the global burden of illness. This article addresses this unac- ceptable situation in three ways: • by describing the global problem in more detail, including what is currently being done about it; • by summarizing Canada’s contribution to resolving the problem, both through federal government agencies, and through a new non-government organization: the Canadian Coalition for Global Health Research (CCGHR); • by suggesting what Canadian university students might consider doing about it. This includes getting informed, getting involved, and considering “global health” as one component of their future careers. The article concludes with the conviction that this is a remarkable moment for Canadians to play a more active role in global health—and indeed in global citizenship more broadly. WHAT IS CANADA DOING ABOUT “GLOBAL about the fact that research efforts to address this burden HEALTH RESEARCH”? appeared to be too small and ineffective. A major 2-year study was undertaken by the Independent International Commission n 2002, the worldwide investment in health research was on Health Research for Development (CHRD). The about US$100 billion. It is a startling fact that of this Commission released what has become a landmark report in Iamount, less than 10% was directed to research on problems 1990.1 Among its findings, the CHRD reported that about 93% of societies that bear 90% of the global burden of illness. -
News Release
NEWS RELEASE: June 14, 2005 Health care leaders create Canada’s first national health advisory body The Canadian Academy of Health Sciences will give Government and the public comprehensive expertise and advice on health issues EDMONTON - When the President of the United States wants advice on a public health issue, he calls the United States’ National Academies. When the Prime Minister of Great Britain wants to seek similar counsel, he usually turns to the Royal Society of Britain. But when the Prime Minister of Canada wants similar advice, who does he call? Well, that’s not always entirely clear, given the more narrowly defined mandates of many Canadian organizations. Now, however, owing to a recent initiative by a group of leading health care leaders and researchers, the Prime Minister will be able to call the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS), recently created to: • Develop informed, strategic assessments on urgent health issues; • Inform public policy on these issues; • Enhance Canada’s readiness to deal with global health issues; and, • Provide a recognized and authoritative Canadian health science voice internationally. According to one of the Academy’s key organizers, the establishment of the Academy is long over due—and all the more pressing given the potential global health threats to Canadians, most recently exemplified by the SARS threat. “Ask Canadians what they care about most, and they answer unequivocally: ‘health,’” explains University of Alberta Professor of Medicine Paul Armstrong, CAHS’s first president. “It makes sense, therefore, that Canada should have an organization that government—and Canadians—can turn to for sound, impartial advice and research on pressing health issues.” The organization will also have an international role to play, representing Canada’s interests abroad and working closely with other nations’ parallel agencies. -
Lalita Ramakrishnan, Phd Microbiologist
Career Interview 3 Name_______________________________Date_____________Period_________ Lalita Ramakrishnan, PhD Microbiologist 1. Where did you grow up? I grew up in a small town in India called Baroda. The name of the town has now changed to its Pre-British name, Vadodara, which means City of the Banyon Tree. 2. What do you do (i.e. what career or field are you in, what is the title of your position)? I am a Professor of Microbiology and Medicine at the University of Washington. Mostly I do research in tuberculosis, train students and Postdoctoral Fellows (which are people with a PhD who are looking for further training). I also spend a small part of my time as an infectious disease doctor. 3. How did you choose your career? When did you first know this is the career you wanted? No, I wouldn’t say that I always knew that I wanted to do this. When I grew up in India, I was a pretty good student, but I wasn’t particularly good at one thing versus another, so the default in my community was to go to medical school. This was based on your class rank order in school, not like here in America where you have to do lots of stuff specifically to get in to medical school. But I was unhappy in medical school. I was unhappy seeing all of the disease and poverty, and lots of rote learning, which is what medical school in India was like back then. I decided to get a PhD after medical school, so I got a scholarship for a PhD program here in America, in Immunology. -
