Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation Analy
Promoting Safe and Stable Families
The role of nurses throughout healthcare program and policy evaluation is vital to our role as change agents within our communities. As nurses we participate in the evaluation process every time we go to work, assess our patients, and then partake in delivery of care. If we want to our voices to be heard we must be willing to take our evaluation skills to the next level. We must ask ourselves tough questions about whether the healthcare programs we are providing are meeting the needs of patients, their families, and communities. We must evaluate the healthcare program goals and outcomes to help determine whether it remains fiscally responsible and continues to meet a need in the population it aims to serve. Ultimately, we cannot blindly accept that the presence of a program validates its success. We must be willing and able to take personal action to ensure patients receive the highest quality of healthcare each and every day. The purpose of this paper is to present an evaluation of the Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) program with respect to it’s background, goals, outcomes, success, costs and related nursing advocacy opportunities.
Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation
Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF)
Description
The Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) program, which is more formally known as Title IV-B subpart 2 of the Social Security Act, aims to avoid unnecessary separations between caregivers and their children, protect permanency for children by taking the necessary steps to reunite them with their parents, when possible, or another permanent living situation, and to improve the quality of care and programming services being offered to children and their families to achieve maximum chance for stable families (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services: Children’s Bureau, 2012).
The PSSF program has recently had two additional programs added, the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) and abstinence education. The goal of the PREP program is to provide state funding aimed at teen pregnancy prevention, addressing prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the adolescent population, as well as teaching teens skills to prepare them for adulthood (ie financial responsibility and organization skills). The abstinence education portion provides grants to individual states to promote education to adolescents regarding delaying sexual activity in an effort to further reduce teen pregnancy rates, but also to promote development of healthy relationships and establishment of healthy boundaries in at-risk populations such as homeless teens or those in foster care (United States Department of Health & Human Services, 2018).
How was the success of the program or policy measured?
Success of the PSSF program has been measured by the fact that funding for this program became a ma ...
Means and Methods of Humanitarian InterventionDr. Chris Stout
It has long been the ethos, if not the ethic, of psychology to work via its various iterations and specialties to the betterment of individuals, groups and areas. Professional service is an important aspect of a psychologist’s identity. It is one of the “big three” (teaching, research, service) that are integral to the activities of colleagues, and is emphasized as a core value in founding documents such as the American Psychological Association’s mission (“to advance the creation, communication and application of psychological knowledge to benefit society and improve people’s lives”), vision (e.g., “…a global partner… to facilitate the resolution of personal, societal and global challenges in diverse, multicultural and international contexts”), and ethical standards (e.g., for “Justice,” “Respect for People’s Rights and Dignities,” and “giving psychology away/pro bono”).
This presentation will demonstrate how to translate service into concrete international action. Beginning with examples of specific international service needs and opportunities, at home and abroad, the presentation will highlight people, programs, and places where the vibrant potential for global service is very real and present. For current and future psychologists as well as colleagues in different areas interested in “making a difference in the world,” this talk offers a very pragmatic how-to in developing skills, identifying partners, and managing the logistics and practicalities of international service within a psychology career.

Setting Goals by Sarah Buerger & Dr Chris StoutDr. Chris Stout
There are lots of planners, systems, seminars, and books to help achieve goals, get organized, and plan. But Meaningful Productivity is the first comprehensive approach for one’s LIFE – not just work or home. It is based on an integrative philosophy of living that has evolved and been acid-tested in the real world by its originator. It is designed to be specifically tailored to your needs, goals, and ambitions.
Meaningful Productivity is designed to be simple and unencumbered. It is basically a hybrid of a scheduling system/planner with a to-do list. Its simplicity is its power. It is my goal to get Meaningful Productivity out to the masses, via amazon so it is as affordable as it is easy to use. I am not too concerned with my copyright, other than you recognize my authorship and perhaps may wish to use my consultative services or purchase other materials, via DrChrisStout.com.
My focus is on life significance. This significance is defined via achievement with satisfaction. Significance wins out over success. Meaning and individualized importance are drivers. Sure, sometimes these result in outward reward of status, celebrity, or wealth, but these are side-effects, not ends. This philosophy is best stated in one of my mottos: “Do important things.”
I feel the accomplished life is ongoing, not an endpoint. Accomplishment should occur across the life span. Life thus needs a design. Certainly randomness has its place, and entropy can make for an enjoyable calamity, but a life left to be “designed” by chance is too much at risk of being wasted.
Some choose to simplify their lives. And this has become quite popular as of late. I support this philosophy with clarification: to simplify is to be unencumbered from the unnecessary, not to sacrifice needs and self-defined reasonable wants.
It is my philosophy to support high-achievement over over-achievement. Over-achievers tend to be more driven by obtaining external trappings resultant from achievement rather than inherent drive by the work itself. These are the individuals who risk burn out they are those who feel heavy work involvement is expected by a superior (not the result of an “internal” motivation); or feel a need to perform for others; or feel pride in external/material attainment over intrinsic satisfaction in the work itself; and then they reach a point in mid- to late-career that results in the “is this all there is?” phenomenon.

Global Health Film Club
The Film Club provides unique venue to view a film as a group and then follow with conversation and methods to address the issues. The film serves as vehicle to learn about a specific humanitarian issue.
Some of you may be familiar with the concept behind “The 100 Ton Club.” It’s basically lifting 100 tons, yes, 200,000 pounds, in a day’s time.
If you know some of my background, you may know that I like to take on various (odd) physical challenges—running marathons and ultras, racing cycling criteriums, summer biathlons, cross-country ski races, Warrior Dashes and other obstacle races, diving the Blue Hole, the Great Barrier Reef, and with sharks, climbing 3 of the World’s Seven Summits, etc. You may not know that I grew up poor, obese (particularly a bummer when you consider my last name), had orthopedic issues, etcetera—woe was me.
You also likely know that I run a non-profit Center for Global Initiatives and often pair some physical challenge as a fundraiser for our work in Tanzania.
So, by my 58th birthday (8 May) I hope to join-the-Club and lift 100 tons, but as somewhat of making this an endurance challenge as well, I hope to do it in 3 hours.
Gulp…
If you’d like to support this crazy challenge for our friends in Tanzania, please do: http://centerforglobalinitiatives.org/donateNow.cfm
Or, if you’re so inclined, you may want to take on your own challenge (maybe this one too?) and support the Center’s work.
Thanks for any help you can lend…!

The emerging healthcare environment requires expanded patient access while delivering optimal outcomes and cost. As healthcare moves form a fee for service model to alternative delivery and payment models, there are opportunities for physical therapy to revolutionize the delivery of musculoskeletal medicine. Physical therapists are uniquely qualified to spearhead musculoskeletal care through direct access with the potential to improve patient satisfaction and outcomes while limiting unneeded medical care. While this model has been described in the military, there are few descriptions of this PT First approach in the private payer arena. This session will provide the attendee with a multifaceted perspective on the impact of physical therapy in emerging, collaborative healthcare models. Approaches to payers and employers with the business implications will be presented that influence these new models. Key strategies to implement a scalable, best practice model will be discussed including the logistical challenges and corollary solutions in the private arena. We will discus our experience implementing novel delivery models for management of neck, back, shoulder and knee pain. The session will deliver practical solutions to the challenges of implementing, assessing, and adapting a theoretical construct to a working viable program. Finally, the session will discuss how the use of a a large Patient Outcomes Registry and analysis of “big data” can drive best practice and inform development of the program.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
MANAGEMENT OF ATRIOVENTRICULAR CONDUCTION BLOCK.pdfJim Jacob Roy
Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

_____News, Tools, Reports and Shout-Outs______
For more than 50
years, the U.S.
Agency for
International
Development
(USAID) has
partnered with more
than 70
countries around the
globe to support
their family planning
programs, including
countries in Latin
America and the
Caribbean (LAC).
Our work in
increasing access to
reproductive health
services, including voluntary family planning, has had profound health, economic, and social benefits
for families and communities worldwide. As an indicator of our success, USAID "graduated" many of
these countries from family planning assistance and is proud to release technical issue briefs providing
an overview and history of our work in 13 countries in the LAC region.

Invitation:
Book Opportunity with Nobel Prize Winner Jody Williams
I wanted to share some wonderful news concerning our book project "Why Global Health Matters."
First, I am very happy to note that Nobel Peace Prize Winner Jody Williams will be authoring the
Foreword! She is an amazing person, and has done, and continues to do so much good in the world—I
am honored to have her words and passion be a part of this book.
Next, I wanted to share the draft table of contents. I am so humbled with the caliber of authors and
quality of their contributions, words cannot express… learn more:
http://www.slideshare.net/drchrisstout1/invitation-book-opportunity-with-nobel-prize-winner-jody-
williams-why-global-health-matters-draft-table-of-contents
As you may know, we’re experimenting with crowdfunding it before it’s published in early 2017 and
it’s your chance to get a signed edition ($35), or a signed edition with your name included on the
donors page ($50), or a signed edition with your name listed as a benefactor on the back exterior cover
of the book.
We ask that you consider buying a book, not only because of the wealth of information therein, but
also because 100% of royalties go directly to THRIVE (Tanzanian Health & Resilience Initiative
Valuing Education).
As for the cause, THRIVE supports the Tanzanian community of Moshi both educationally and
medicinally. While THRIVE started out as a kindergarten in 2005, it has branched into the healthcare
field as well by partnering with the neighboring clinic/hospital, Huruma Designated Hospital to train
local nursing students.
3. 3
When you purchase a copy of "Why Global Health Matters," the proceeds will support:
>Medicines for the hospital to use
>Surgeries at the hospital
>Medical care for both kids and adults
>Nurse training program materials
>Desks for kindergarten students
>School materials for kindergarten students
>Kindergarten teacher salaries

HOW TO CONNECT YOUR WORK TO
THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
GOALS
Recorded Webinar
Free
The United Nation’s recent adoption of the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) serves as a uniquely valuable
opportunity for philanthropy, nonprofit, and civil society. More
than 190 world leaders are committed to 17 global goals that
will help us fight extreme poverty, end inequality, and fix
climate change across the world. If we want to have a chance at
achieving these goals of a more equitable and sustainable world, we'll need your help because of the
unique role you play in the social sector.
The SDGs are applicable to the entire world, constituting a unified global development agenda.
Because the SDGs provide a comprehensive, globally relevant framework for development,
Foundation Center believes that nonprofits and civil society should familiarize themselves, at
minimum, with the indicators of change that have been developed to account for progress towards
each goal. These are the numbers that the world will be watching to see if progress is being made, and
they will quickly become one of the most important yardsticks against which the impact of
foundations working in an area related to the SDGs will be measured. Be informed and learn how to
connect your work to these worldwide goals.
Outcomes:
Be inspired and learn how and why the 17 global goals impact your work
Gain insight on how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are relevant to your day to day work
in philanthropy, nonprofits, and civil society
Discover ways to connect local and regional work to global development progress through partnerships
and funding opportunities.
Intended audience:
Organizations at all levels around the world are invited to participate and attend, including:
U.S. based nonprofit staff and leadership
NGO staff and leadership
Foundation staff and leadership
Panelists:
Lauren Bradford, Director of Global Partnerships, Foundation Center (moderator)

DESCRIPTION
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The technology to donate online was launched in the late 1990’s and through a process of trial and
error NGOs have slowly been able to build donor’s confidence in the technology and grow their
online donor database. Today online donations make up an average of 7-10% of an NGO’s annual
budget and online giving continues to grow – and will continue grow – every year. Now more than
ever it’s crucial that your NGO knows the basics of a successful online fundraising campaign and has
knowledge of emerging online fundraising trends in order to prepare for the future. Topics include:
What to look for in an online fundraising service
How to use social media to increase your online donations
How to launch a monthly giving program
How to launch a crowdfunding campaign
A discussion on the future mobile fundraising apps
How to be an early adopter of digital wallets

It always struck me that saying that sounded a lot like grandiose hubris, or at best, a dauntingly
overwhelming task. The utter impossibility of it seemed certain until I realized that it can mean
helping one person at a time. That is a theme you’ll see throughout this book and our websites
and our work. I have added some of my LinkedIn Influencer blogs/essays that I hope may be
inspirational, also. The format of this book is inspired by Brian Eno’s A Year with Swollen
Appendices, not so much the diary aspect but rather the overwhelmingly large collection of
information in the various appendices.
Open-Sourced Humanitarian Interventionism
It’s long been my goal to make life easier for those working in humanitarian and volunteer
endeavors, as well as those in need of help. Indeed, in one way or another, we all need help in
one form or another. So, just about everything you find herein and on the Center’s website, is
free of charge, and a lot you could also find for yourself. What I’ve tried to do is speed up the
search, vet what has been found, and then curate the results, making them as readily and easily
available as I know how to. This is my dream of open-sourcing humanitarian work.
Current Content, For Pretty Close To Forever
The reason for this “reverse engineering” is twofold. First, the amount of content and links on
the Center’s website may not always be apparent to the novel user. This book allows for near
complete exposure to the functional tools and content that await the online user. Second, this
book will never be out-of-date, in that when new content becomes available via uploads to the
DropBox account, you’ll be able to read that as well. All you have to do is email me and ask to be
linked. I curate the content constantly. You can also request being added to our mailing list via
my email address as well if you’d like to be kept up-to-date on events and other relevant content.
All proceeds from sales of this book will be donated to the Center for Global Initiatives.

MAYARO (and ZIKA)
Future Threat Waiting in Wings?
Florida researchers studying Haiti’s chikungynya outbreak identified a mosquito-borne virus
called Mayaro in that Caribbean country, where it had never been observed before.
The strain is different from those previously seen in the Amazon, where most cases of Mayaro
have historically been reported, according to findings published in the journal Emerging
Infectious Diseases.
Little is known about Mayaro, first isolated in Trinidad and Tobago in 1954. But joint pain from
Mayaro can last for a year, and infected people often have stomach problems, said John
Lednicky, a University of Florida associate professor whose team was the first to identify the
spread of Zika in Brazil, and later to discover its presence in spit and urine. U.S. News & World

EBOLA
Strength in Cities
Packed West African cities bore the brunt of the 2014 Ebola pandemic, showing the outsize role
that cities will play in future outbreaks infectious and noncommunicable.
Calling cities “crucial laboratories of innovation in public health,” Ashish Jha, director of the
Harvard Global Health Institute, makes the case that cities, not nations, must take on the lead in
fighting future outbreaks.
Jha points to Lagos, Nigeria as a model; The city of 21 million leveraged its strengths to mobilize
a powerful public health effort that ultimately helped quell fears the Ebola outbreak would go
global. South China Morning Post

Piot’s Ebola Book Picks
In a rare treat for the global health community, Peter Piot reviews not 1 but 2 books about
Ebola.
The first (Ebola: How a People's Science Helped End an Epidemic, by Paul Richards), which Piot
calls a must-read, explores through an anthropologist’s lens how villages in Sierra Leone reacted.
Interestingly, Piot, the director of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, calls the
book an important counterweight to analyses by international panels—including one that the
chaired—for its emphasis on the local rather than global response.
The second (Ebola's Message: Public Health and Medicine in the Twenty-First Century, edited by
Nicholas G. Evans, Tara C. Smith & Maimuna S. Majumder) tackles aspects of the emergency
including the media response and bioethics—including essays that, Piot writes, offer balanced
perspectives to reconcile disagreements in the design of trials, experimental interventions, and
controlling outbreaks. Nature

HIV/AIDS
Monitoring HIV
Results of an annual global survey reveal that although labs can easily obtain the instruments
needed to monitor the efficacy of HIV treatment, usage is very low.
Labs often fail to order correct equipment, sufficiently stock treatment drugs, appropriately train
lab technicians, and properly forecast the number of patients.
“Funding organizations must commit to supporting the full spectrum of laboratory program
needs,” writes a former international health official in a journal article on the survey results.
“Laboratory directors need the program management training, tools, resources, and authorities
for implementation.” PLoS Medicine

Drug War Fuels HIV Spike
The Philippines’ hardline policy against illegal drugs may be facilitating transmission of HIV,
which has increased by 220% over the last 5 years.
The crackdown has stressed the country’s meager network of rehabilitation centers and its
18. 18
already overcrowded prisons, and forced the discontinuation of once successful needle-exchange
programs. As a result, intravenous drug users are increasingly sharing needles in shooting
galleries. In the city of Cebu, needle sharing likely led to 74% of the 1,366 HIV infections
recorded in 2014. Meanwhile, health care workers want to create more rehab programs and
reinstate needle-exchange programs. Deutsche Welle
ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE
A Microbial Honor
Diane Newman, a molecular geomicrobiologist and self-proclaimed “Pied Piper of microbes,” sat
down with Scientific American this week to discuss her MacArthur “genius” grant. Newman’s
research focuses on microbes that can survive in low-oxygen environments and may further
understanding of drug-resistant pathogens.
Newman said she’ll likely use her 5-year, $625,000 grant to promote science careers and advance
projects she cares about, including the study of antimicrobial resistance.
“The rate of microbial evolution can outpace our ability to rationally design new drugs,” she
said. “… It’s a formidable challenge that requires new ways of creatively thinking about the
problem.”

“Just the Beginning: UN Adopts AMR Declaration”
Citing the critical nature of antimicrobial resistance—superbugs are estimated to kill 10 million
people annually by 2050 if current trends continue—the UN General Assembly yesterday
adopted a political declaration calling for a collaborative, global response to the threat.
“Antimicrobial resistance is a global crisis. It is bad and getting worse,” WHO Director-General
Margaret Chan warned.
Among the complex challenges is increasing access to antibiotics in low- and middle-income
countries while ensuring they are used only when necessary. “Access is quite a multi-dimensional
issue,” observed Manica Balasegaram, director of DNDi’s Global Antibiotic R&D Partnership.
“On one hand, everyone says antibiotics are made available too easily. On the other hand, we
know people are not able to access antibiotics when they need them.” Brian W. Simpson, Global

3 Key Steps After the UN Political Declaration on AMR
Anthony D. So and Reshma Ramachandran argue the meeting is an important step but action
and resources must follow. “As resistance to last-line antibiotics has emerged, the need for a
multisectoral, One Health response has never been greater,” write So and Ramachandran of
the ReAct-Action on Antibiotic Resistance Strategic Policy Program and the new Innovation +
Design for Enabling Access (IDEA) Initiative at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public
Health.
They recommend 3 key steps following Wednesday’s signing of a Political Declaration by heads
of state: revamping the R&D pipeline; financing better stewardship of antimicrobials; and
monitoring antimicrobial use, sales, prescriptions, trade and resistance. Anthony D. So and

MATERNAL HEALTH
Islamic Champions
Determined to improve Nigeria’s maternal health care, Aminu Gamawa, a lawyer in Nigeria,
recognized the importance of allying Islamic scholars—particularly in the country’s Muslim
North.
While many Islamic scholars in the region cite Islamic texts to oppose maternal care, family
planning and child vaccines, Gamawa, who is also Muslim, saw opportunities to tap their
influence. Gamawa and his colleagues arranged for community and religious leaders to attend
trainings in Egypt led by scholars who specialize in reconciling Islamic teachings and maternal
health. They helped allay concerns by suggesting creative workarounds—like encouraging uneasy
husbands to accompany their wives, rather than forbid them from visiting a doctor. NPR Goats

FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION
Updated Data on FGM
Female genital mutilation is widely acknowledged as a dangerous practice that negatively impacts
the physical and psychological health of women and girls. A new report from the Population
Council synthesizes the most recent data on FGM from 29 countries in an effort “to both
improve understanding of the practice and to accelerate its abandonment.”
Key findings reveal that the practice is declining in nearly half the countries surveyed, but girls
are undergoing the procedure at increasingly younger ages.
Still, the report finds that men and women in several countries “believe the practice should end,
suggesting a promising window of opportunity for change.” Population Council
MENTAL HEALTH
Uganda’s Mental Health Failings
A suicide attempt caught on video in Uganda’s capital has ignited conversation about barriers to
20. 20
mental health treatment. A country of over 37 million people, Uganda has only 32 licensed
psychiatrists and just 1 national mental health hospital. This insufficient capacity—combined
with stigma—causes many to self-medicate or forego treatment altogether.
The government is working to improve access by refurbishing regional mental health care wards
and training 300 psychiatric clinical officers to staff lower-level health facilities.
Advocates believe Uganda should also address social factors that trigger mental illness, such as
unemployment, sexual violence and war-induced trauma. VOA
NEGLECTED DISEASES
Venom: Friend or Foe?
Bites or stings from venomous animals such as the king cobra, killer (Africanized) bees and the
Gila monster often cause illness or death. But their venom may also have the potential to
conquer ailments such as Lyme disease, type-2 diabetes, chronic pain, heart disease, Alzheimer’s
and even HIV.
Biologist Christie Wilcox discusses the positive and negative effects of venom in an interview
with National Geographic. Her book, Venomous: How Earth’s Deadliest Creatures Mastered
Biochemistry, details budding research about our venomous foes and how studying their poisons
may boost our understanding of our own physiology. National Geographic
REFUGEES
A Declaration, and a Reality Check
At the UN General Assembly’s refugee summit yesterday, world leaders approved the New York
Declaration to provide a more coordinated and humane approach to refugee crises—but
advocates say that the watered down, non-legally binding document lacks concrete commitments,
the New York Times reported.
Anticipating the results, MSF issued a Reality Check report yesterday in an attempt to ensure
that the leaders understand the realities on the ground.
The Quote: “As the leaders sit down to trumpet their pledges, 75,000 Syrian refugees are trapped
on the Jordanian border with Syria just kilometers from a war zone, 350,000 Somali refugees are
at risk of being sent back to a war zone from Dadaab (Kenya) and tens of thousands are enduring
hell in Libya as they await their chance at the Mediterranean crossing that has killed 3,200 men,
women and children in this year alone,” as well as emergencies in Central America, South East
Asia, and Lake Chad, reported MSF.
