  • Tackling Malaria
    Tackling Mal aria Interventions available today could lead to decisive gains in prevention and treatment—if only the world would apply them By Claire Panosian Dunavan Long ago in the Gambia, West Africa, a two-year-old boy named Ebrahim almost died of malaria. Decades later Dr. Ebrahim Samba is still reminded of the fact when he looks in a mirror. That is because his mother—who had already buried several children by the time he got sick—scored his face in a last-ditch effort to save his life. The boy not only survived but eventually became one of the most well-known leaders in Africa: Regional Director of the World Health Organization. Needless to say, scarification is not what rescued Ebrahim Samba. The question is, What did? Was it the particular strain of parasite in his blood that day, his individual genetic or immunological makeup, his nutritional state? After centuries of fighting ma- laria—and conquering it in much of the world—it is amazing what we still do not know about the ancient scourge, including what determines life and death in severely ill chil- dren in its clutches. Despite such lingering questions, however, today we stand on the threshold of hope. Investigators are studying malaria survivors and tracking many other leads in efforts to develop vaccines. Most important, proven weapons—princi- pally, insecticide-treated bed nets, other antimosquito strategies, and new combination drugs featuring an ancient Chinese herb—are moving to the front lines. In the coming years the world will need all the malaria weapons it can muster.

  • VENICE FAMILY CLINIC: Improving Capacity and Managing Patient Lead Times
    CASE STUDY, 4/2012 VENICE FAMILY CLINIC: Improving capacity and managing patient lead times PREPARED BY Professor Kumar Rajaram, UCLA Anderson School of Management Karen Conner, MD, UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine A case by the Johnson & Johnson/UCLA Health Care Executive Program and the UCLA Anderson School of Management Dr. Susan Fleishman, Medical Director at the Venice Family Clinic (VFC) returned to the clinic after her early morning meeting with CEO, Elizabeth Forer. It was a typically warm and sunny Southern California day as she approached the front door of the clinic. She walked past a line of six to eight people waiting to check in at security and then proceeded upstairs to the waiting room. Almost every seat was taken. The room was full of elderly people, homeless men and women, young mothers, babies, toddlers with runny noses, school-aged children watching TV and adult men and women dressed for work. Some clutched papers indicating they had been seen by either registration or a provider, but most were holding only their color-coded cards given to them as they passed through security. As she headed towards the patient rooms, she noticed two resident doctors holding charts and chatting about their upcoming ski trips, one attending physician talking to a medical assistant about lab work and another on the telephone impatiently waiting on hold. A quick walk by the patient rooms showed that despite the crowd in the waiting room, only about half of the rooms had patients in them. She knew that many of the patients seen by the clinic spent hours there each visit, and that most of that time was spent waiting.

  • WHO Funding Letter
    April 24, 2020 President Donald Trump The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear President Trump: During this unprecedented global crisis, it is imperative for the U.S. to demonstrate leadership by working with the global community not only to stop the spread of COVID-19, but also to help strengthen the global public health architecture to mitigate a crisis of this magnitude from happening again. Therefore, we, the undersigned organizations, urge the U.S. Administration to continue to fund the World Health Organization (WHO) to end this pandemic. The United States cannot rid this insidious virus from the country, nor around the world, without WHO. WHO is the only organization with the technical capacity and global mandate to support the public health response of all countries during this critical time. China first alerted WHO to the possibility of a novel type of coronavirus on December 31, 2019. WHO worked closely with U.S. public health institutions like the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as the global community, to collect, analyze, and disseminate public health information about COVID-19. These actions equipped countries with advance warning and guided states’ efforts to prepare for the spread of the virus. Just one day after receiving the alert from China, WHO alerted the CDC and by January 10, WHO issued guidance to countries on how to detect, test, and manage potential cases of the novel virus, and best practices to protect health workers delivering care on the frontlines of the response.
