  • Women on the Move – Migrant Women in the Health Professions
    Women on the Move – Migrant Women in the Health Professions Women in Global Health - Germany and the Center for Global Health at the Technical University of Munich organised the event “Women on the Move – Migrant Women in the Health Professions” that was held successfully on Wednesday 20th March, 2019 at the Charité in Berlin. The event was supported by the German Federal Ministry of Health, the World Health Summit Foundation GmbH and the Medical Research Council of the UK. Background The World Health Organization (WHO) has published a report and a policy brief addressing the issue of female migrant care workers. The goal of both the policy brief and report is to raise awareness of the importance of ensuring migrant workers – who in most cases are women - providing home-based care, are given a legal working status in the receiving country, accompanied by appropriate working conditions and access to health and social services. The project was initiated in 2017 at a meeting in Berlin supported by the Federal Ministry of Health. Considering the current debate around care provision and the lack of qualified personnel in Germany, a translation of the policy brief was considered to be a valuable contribution to the discussion, highlighting the importance of legal protection and health insurance for the migrant care workers the German population increasingly relies upon. 1 Therefore, the goal of the event was to share the German translation of the policy brief and take discussions on female migrant health care workers in Germany further, aiming to connect researchers, policy makers and those working in the healthcare sector.

The World Health Organization has made the process of the selection of the new Director-General - due to take office in July 2017 - more transparent. The programmes of the candidates and the questions posed by Member States and many other stakeholders in global health draw atten- tion to the many challenges faced by the Organization. This paper contributes to this debate by identifying major trends in governing the global health domain which provide leadership opportunities for WHO in global health. In this paper we highlight 10 developments that have contributed to significant changes in the global health domain. Based on this analysis we identify two closely related megatrends which have emerged over the last 10-15 years: first, a shift in thelocus of governance to new political spaces and, second, a shift in the processes of governance in which a dynamic range of political and policy interests are negotiated by an increasingly dense network of alliances and coalitions.

  • Responding to the Ebola Epidemic in West Africa: What Role Does Religion Play? Case Study
    WFDD CASE STUDY RESPONDING TO THE EBOLA EPIDEMIC IN WEST AFRICA: WHAT ROLE DOES RELIGION PLAY? By Katherine Marshall THE 2014 EBOLA EPIDEMIC was a human and a medical drama that killed more than 11,000 people and, still more, devastated the communities concerned and set back the development of health systems. Its impact was concentrated on three poor, fragile West African countries, Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, but the tremors reverberated throughout the world, gen- erating reactions of compassion and fear, spurring mobilization of vast hu- man and financial resources, and inspiring many reflections on the lessons that should be learned by the many actors concerned. Among the actors were many with religious affiliations, who played distinctive roles at various points and across different sectors. This case study is one of a series produced by the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University and the World Faiths De- velopment Dialogue (WFDD), an NGO established in the World Bank and based today at Georgetown University. The goal is to generate relevant and demanding teaching materials that highlight ethical, cultural, and religious dimensions of contemporary international development topics. This case study highlights the complex institutional roles of religious actors and posi- tive and less positive aspects of their involvement, and, notably, how poorly prepared international organizations proved in engaging them in a systematic fashion. An earlier case study on Female Genital Cutting (FGC or FGM) focuses on the complex questions of how culture and religious beliefs influ- ence behaviors. This case was prepared under the leadership of Katherine Marshall and Crys- tal Corman.
