Avant que ne commencent les interventions, je dois rappeler à Messieurs les délégués, comme l'a déjà fait observer hier le Président, que le temps dont nous disposons pour ce débat est limité. J'espère que chacun m'aidera pour que le nombre maximum d'orateurs puisse prendre la parole. Le premier orateur inscrit est de le délégué de la République fédérale d'Allemagne. Le délégué de la RépuЫique fédérale д'Allémagne a la parole. Le Dr STRALAU (RépuЫique fédérale d'Allemagne) : Monsieur le Président, Mesdames et Messieurs, je voudrais tout d'abord, Monsieur le Président, vous féli- citer de votre élection à ces hautes fonctions qui fait honneur à vos activités. А17/VА/5. page 4 Honorables délégués, un des moyens de lutte les plus efficaces contre la maladie et la mort qui frappent chaque annéе plusieurs millions d'êtres humains est l'amé- lioration de l'hygiène du milieu. Au nombre des tâches générales les plus importantes dans ce domaine, on peut ranger les soins à apporter à l'eau. En 1959, déjà,dans son rapport à la Douzième Assemblée mondiale de la Santé, le Directeur général avait souligné l'importance de l'eau dans le cadre des efforts déployés en vue d'améliorer l'hygiène du milieu, et c'est avec satisfaction que nous enregistrons le fait qu'au cours des cinq dernières années le programme d'approvisionnement public en eau, dont la réalisation avait été décidée à l'époque, a été abordé sérieusement. Nous sommes disposés à fournir, au cours des années à venir aussi, des contributions volontaires pour encourager ces efforts. La République fédérale d'Allemagne se rallie sans réserve à l'opinion de l'OМS selon laquelle il faut attacher une importance particul�re au problème de la pro- tection contre les radiations. C'est la raison pour laquelle nous avons porté une attention toute spéciale, au cours de l'аnnéе écoulée, à ce рrоЫèте d'actualité. Dans le cadre de notre législation, des règlements sont en préparation, qui sont destinés à garantir une protection lors de la production et de l'application des rayons X. La formation des médecins dans le domaine de 'la protection contre les radiations va être intensifiée. Nous nous efforçons constamment d'approfondir nos connaissances relatives aux dangers des radiations ionisantes et aux mesures de protection contre ces dangers. ¢ 17/VR/5 Page 5 Le Gouvernement de la République fédérale est tout particulièrement satisfait de ce que l'OMS s'active avec tant d'insistance dans le domaine de la détection et de l'étude des effets nocifs survenant lors de l'application de produits pharmaceu- tiques et de ce qu'elle s'efforce de retransmettre par les voies les plus rapides à tous les Etats Membres des renseignements sur ces effets nocifs. Enfin, je voudrais faire quelques remarques à propos du financement des taches incombant à l'Organisation. On ne peut pas justifier le fait qu'une augmentation constc..nte du budget devient =une charge qui ne peut plus; à la longue; être supportée par les Etats Membres. Il conviendrait donc d'envisager une limitation de l'augmenta- tion du budget pour l'année 1965 à la proportion déterminée par l'accroissement du revenu national des pays Membres, déterminée par l'accroissement du niveau des salaires et des prix, et de maintenir également dans ce cadre, pour autant que cela est possible, les augmentations futures. Je vous prie de ne pas interpréter ces dernières observations comme une critique de l'activité de l'OMS mais, au contraire, comme l'expression du souci de ne pas dépasser nos propres forces et les forces et possibilités de l'Organisation. Pour terminer mes remarques, je ne voudrais pas manquer de remercier M. le DiYrecteur général et ses collaborateurs du travail qu'ils ont accompli dans le courant de l'année qui vient de s'écouler. Le PRESIDENT PAR INTERIM (traduction de l'espagnol) : Je vous remercie, Dr Stralau. Le délégué de la RépuЫique du Viet -Nam a la parole. А17/vR/5 page, ½ 'Le Dr LE CUU ТRUONG (République du Viet -Nam) : Monsieur le Président, Messieurs "lés délégués, je voudrais tout d'abord me joindre aux orateurs qui m'ont précédé polir vous adresser, Monsieur le Président, toutes mes félicitations pour votre élection á cette haute fonction. Je voudrais également féliciter M. le Directeur général de l'excellente présentation de son rapport sur les activités de l'0MS en 1963, dont les réalisations et les résultats acquis montrent encore une fois toute l'efficacité des travaux de l'Organisation. C'est avec satisfaction que je constate l'effort toujours soutenu de TOMS, particulièrement dans les programmes d'éradication du paludisme et des maladies transmissibles en général.. Cet effort est essentiel pour préserver la santé et élever le niveau de vie des peuples, particulièrement ceux des pays en voie de développement où les fléaux et les maladies existent encore en nombre non négligeable. C'est le but même de l'OMS, mais qui est encore loin d'être atteint. Aussi cet effort devrait -il être soutenu d'une façón continue, et même, dans l'avenir, il devrait être accru, en particulier dans l'élaboration du prochain programme de travail de l'OMS. La variole, le choléra, la peste, le paludisme, la tuberculose, la lèрrе, etc., sont des maladies qui existent encore, non pas dans tous les pays, bien sûr, mais il est certain que leur éradication comporte de nombreux prob èmes h résoudre, aussi bien sur le plan national qu'international, notamment dans les pays en voie de développement, où les facteurs locaux sont autant de particularités dont nous devrions tenir oompte si nous voulons obtenir de bons résultats. A17/VR/5 page 7 Selon mon opinion, un point important auquel nous devrions accorder une attention particulière est la surveillance et la consolidation des programmes d'éradication des maladies transmissibles, afin d'éviter une réapparitión possible de telle ou telle maladie qu'on croyait disparue définitivement.

Good, Ph.D., Professor of Medical Anthropology Anne E. Becker, M.D, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medical Anthropology Department of Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School INTRODUCTION Racial disparities in medical treatments and in health status have been documented in numerous studies over the past two decades. In a recent editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine, Epstein and Ayanian (2001) noted that “there is little evidence that racial disparities in medical care or in measures of health have substantially diminished.” Gary King (1996), in an insightful theoretical analysis of this research, argues that explanations of racial differences in medical care and of participation rates in medical research are grounded in institutional racism and in the pro- fessional ideologies of medicine and healthcare systems that lead to power imbalances between minorities and medicine’s elite professionals.

  • PREVENTING DISEASE THROUGH HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS This Report Summarizes the Results Globally, by 14 Regions Worldwide, and Separately for Children
    How much disease could be prevented through better management of our environment? The environment influences our health in many ways — through exposures to physical, chemical and biological risk factors, and through related changes in our behaviour in response to those factors. To answer this question, the available scientific evidence was summarized and more than 100 experts were consulted for their estimates of how much environmental risk factors contribute to the disease burden of 85 diseases. PREVENTING DISEASE THROUGH HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS This report summarizes the results globally, by 14 regions worldwide, and separately for children. Towards an estimate of the environmental burden of disease The evidence shows that environmental risk factors play a role in more than 80% of the diseases regularly reported by the World Health Organization. Globally, nearly one quarter of all deaths and of the total disease burden can be attributed to the environment. In children, however, environmental risk factors can account for slightly more than one-third of the disease burden. These findings have important policy implications, because the environmental risk factors that were studied largely can be modified by established, cost-effective interventions. The interventions promote equity by benefiting everyone in the society, while addressing the needs of those most at risk.

  • The Cuba - Timor-Leste Health Program
    The Role of Social Medicine in Filling the Gap in Human Resources in Health: The Cuba - Timor-Leste Health Program Casey Lucas Hastings A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Health University of Washington 2012 Committee: Mary Anne Mercer James Pfeiffer Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Global Health School of Public Health Abstract Objectives The developing world is faced with a high burden of infectious disease and insufficient physicians to address these problems. The alternative model of medical training that characterizes Cuban social medicine has been credited with the major successes of Cuba’s health system, but the possibility of applying this model to other developing countries has not been well studied. In Timor-Leste, physicians newly trained in Cuba in social medicine are returning to practice in the individual patient-focused health care system of Timor-Leste. Although the 1,000 newly graduated physicians expected to enter the Timorese national health system in the coming few years will help fill the current gap in human resources in health, the different approach to health problems afforded by their social medicine training may also present novel challenges. Methods The study design employed mixed methods, administering a quantitative questionnaire and performing qualitative semi-structured interviews with all 18 members of the first class of Timorese graduates of the Latin America School of Medicine in Cuba as well as with key informants in the Timorese medical community. Results Recent graduates demonstrated a social medicine directed approach to conceptualizing and addressing health issues, including strong public health skills with an emphasis on societal-level determinants of health.

  • The English Revolution in Social Medicine, 1889-1911
    THE ENGLISH REVOLUTION IN SOCIAL MEDICINE, 1889-1911 UNIVERSITY OF LONDON PhD THESIS DOROTHY E. WATKINS 1984 To J.D.M.W. and E.C.W. 2 ABSTRACT The dissertation examines the development of preventive medicine between 1889-1911. It discusses the rise of expertise in prevention during this period and the consolidation of experts into a professional body. In this context the career histories of medical officers of health in London have been analysed to provide a basis for insight into the social structure of the profession. The prosopog- raphy of metropolitan officers demonstrated a broad spectrum of recruitment from the medical profession and the way in which patterns of recruitment changed over time. The level of specialisation in preventive medicine has been examined through a history of the development of the Diploma in Public Health. The courses and qualifying examinations undertaken by medical officers of health revealed the way in which training was linked to professionalisation through occupational monopoly. The association representing the interests of medical officers of health, their own Society, was Investigated through its recorded minutes of Council and Committees from the year it was first amalgamated into a national body, 1889, up to the date of the National Insur- ance Act in 1911. Here the aims and goals of the profession were set against their achievements and failures with regard to the new patterns of health care provision emerging during this period. This context of achievement and failure has been contrasted with an examination of the 'preventive ideal', as it was generated from within the community of preventive medical associations, of which the Society of Medical Officers of Health was one member.

  • Community Mental Health, Primary Health Care, and Health-Promoting Universities in Ecuador*
    Pan American Journal Special report of Public Health Community mental health, primary health care, and health-promoting universities in Ecuador* Victoriano Camas Baena1 Suggested citation (original manuscript) Camas Baena V. Salud mental comunitaria, atención primaria de salud y universidades promotoras de salud en Ecuador. Rev Panam Salud Publica. 2018;42:e162. https://doi.org/10.26633/RPSP.2018.162 ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to describe the current situation of mental health in Ecuador. In Ecuador, although the model of community mental health has been integrated into primary health care services for a decade, its implementation does not seem to have achieved the expected results. It is pertinent to explore the causes of this situation and to propose alterna- tives, taking into account the contributions of social medicine, collective health, and partici- patory action research as emblematic models in Latin America in the field of mental health. For an effective implementation of community mental health in primary care in Ecuador, the role of universities is central, specifically in projects linked to the community and in pre- professional practices in health science careers. These projects allow the promotion of commu- nity mental health at the first level of health care from a critical perspective, open to complex- ity and based on the principle that the community is the main active subject of social transformation. Key words Mental health; primary health care; community participation; universities; Ecuador The mental health system in Ecuador conditions.

  • The Case for Social Medicine a Consensus Statement by the Social Medicine Consortium
    Achieving Health Equity This Generation: The Case for Social Medicine A Consensus Statement by the Social Medicine Consortium Why Raise Our Voices? We have participated in and been complicit with broken health systems whose principles and systems don’t lead to healthier communities. We have heard the voices of patients throughout the world whose tragic stories of sickness plead for more just, equitable health systems and care. We have witnessed politics that tolerate xenophobia, racism, sexism, and unregulated capitalism without any accountability. We have observed economic and social systems that routinely fail to affirm the dignity of all humans and ignore the tremendous assets of all communities. We have trained in educational systems that acknowledge very little or none of this. We refuse to stand by and let this happen. Social Medicine is our response. What Change Do We Seek? Social and economic inequities are a root cause of health disparities throughout the world. These inequities drive morbidity and mortality in tragically predictable ways that preferentially afflict the poor and marginalized. They are perpetuated by factors including racism, sexism, economic policy prioritizing productivity and profit, and disregard for historical injustices. We can and must take action to address these root causes of ill health that we as a society have created and sustained. Social medicine is the practice of seeking to understand the social context of patients and communities and working to remediate the impact of these grossly unequal contexts on the life and death of the poor and marginalized. Not to be confused with socialized medicine, a political policy that involves centralized management of a health system by the state, social medicine aspires to ensure health by drawing on social analysis and community strengths to change the structural forces that determine health disparities.
