SUMMARY:Visions and voices of a healthy planet: A Healing Arts event for World Health Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:In every crisis\, it often seems that the first to arrive to help are healthcare workers and artists. This was most recently true during the pandemic\, and it is increasingly true as the consequences of climate change become more apparent. Human caused climate change has created an existential threat to life on this planet and has dramatically altered our health and wellbeing as well as our conception of ourselves and our place in the world. \nIt is in this spirit that we have called together care providers and artists across genres and geographies who recognize the relationship between planetary and human health. Health care providers are prescribing nature visits to increase vitality and reduce stress and anxiety. Artists are using the transformative power of the arts to promote awareness\, dialogue\, imaginative action\, and a sense of reconnection. This conversation for Our Planet\, Our Health brings us into a fuller\, sensory immersion of the reciprocal relationship between care for our planet and ourselves. \nTune in on 5 April on the WHO YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Subsidizing global health: Women’s unpaid work in health systems
DESCRIPTION:Despite being the majority in the profession\, women in the health sector are paid 23% less than their male counterparts (Gender Pay Gap) and millions of women are working unpaid or grossly underpaid in core health systems roles. It is estimated that women in health contribute 5% to global gross domestic product (GDP) (US$ 3 trillion)\, out of which almost 50% is unrecognized and unpaid. Women’s unpaid work at community level has had major positive health outcomes for communities\, as confirmed by the unpaid work women have done in the pandemic tracing positive cases\, promoting public health measures and delivering vaccines. It is a contradiction that this valuable work appears to have no economic value. It is also a contradiction that some of the world’s poorest women take on this work in addition to their already heavy load of domestic and subsistence work. \nAgainst this backdrop\, Women in Global Health\, in collaboration with the Frontline Health Worker Coalition will hold a high-level\, 90-minute event to launch WGH’s latest policy report \, Subsidizing global health: Women’s unpaid work in health systems\, marking World Health Worker Week. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Community Health Worker Voices on UHC
DESCRIPTION:Universal Health Coverage (UHC) cannot be reached without community health workers (CHWs) delivering quality health care and services for the hardest-to-reach communities. Countries are adopting and implementing UHC policies in an effort to improve the health outcomes of their most vulnerable populations. Many are also making commitments to support CHWs as formal members of the workforce and provide necessary training\, supervision\, and payment to allow them to deliver quality PHC services to their communities. But what does this look like in action on the ground? \nThis event – the first of a series of quarterly CHW dialogues – will bring together CHWs from across sub-Saharan Africa in a knowledge-sharing conversation on what UHC looks like to them\, how new policies have impacted their day-to-day work and the impact COVID on their ability to deliver essential health services. \nFrench translation will be provided. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Is Global Health Equity Truly Achievable? A Conversation with the Think 7 Global Health Task Force
DESCRIPTION:On the 3rd of February\, Amref Health Africa and Dalberg hosted the Africa Dialogues on COVID-19 webinar with public health experts\, Dr Ebere Okereke (Senior Technical Adviser at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change and honorary Senior Public Health Advisor to Africa CDC) and Mah-Sere Keita (Director of Programs\, Africa Society for Laboratory Medicine) to discuss how Africa can build capacity for vaccine development and delivery within the continent. \nAs Edwin Macharia noted\, “the inequalities of vaccine distribution have been glaring” and the session provided high-level recommendations on how we can develop the research and development capacity of the continent. These include: \n\ndeveloping business models that are tailored to the African complexities\nleveraging the AfCFTA for vaccine distribution\ncreating enabling environments that help African talents thrive and develop continent-focused solutions\n\nMah-Sere Keita spoke on the need for more representation from the continent in conversations on vaccine distribution and explained that “we need to have African voices talk about what it is that we need to do better on the continent to be able to not only manufacture vaccines but also diagnostics and therapeutics”. \nEmphasising the need for vaccine manufacturing on the continent\, Dr Okereke said\, “…we need more (vaccine) manufacturing on the continent. We have the highest burden of HIV on the globe\, and we do not produce HIV diagnostics. Africa only produces about 1% of its vaccine needs”. \nVaccine inequity in Africa and the need for increased representation from the continent in global health fora was stressed during these discussions and Dr Githinji Gitahi noted that “…Africa needs to also build its own (health) structures\, not in conflict with international global structures\, but aligned and with their own control.” \nIt is therefore pertinent that we discuss health inequality on a global scale and its impact on developing nations and marginalised communities. This forms the theme of the next Africa Dialogues – Phase II which comes up on 14 April 2022. \nDuring the webinar\, we will explore the reforms needed to ensure that global health systems strengthen and cater to the fragile health structures of developing nations. \nIn the coming weeks\, we will provide more details on why this topic is crucial and also share the profiles of the thought leaders who will be leading these discussions. Please keep an eye out for our emails. \nRegister for the session here and watch the recording of the previous webinar here \nSubmit your questions ahead of the call at COVID@dalberg.com or info.COVID-19@amref.org. For any other inquiries\, do not hesitate to reach out using the same contacts.  Visit Amref’s Resource Center and Dalberg website for additional information.

DESCRIPTION:The Global Fund is calling on the world for new resources to recapture the losses caused by COVID-19 and get back on track toward ending HIV\, TB\, and malaria\, as well as build resilient and sustainable systems for health to strengthen pandemic preparedness. \nThe choice is clear for Canada: we either heed the Global Fund’s call for increased support and impact\, or we abandon the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target of defeating HIV\, TB and malaria by 2030 and remain unprepared for future health threats. Securing ambitious\, unprecedented leadership from Canada will require all hands-on deck! \nAhead of World Malaria Day\, join us for this webinar to learn\, take action\, and mark the launch of our #FightForWhatCounts campaign! We will brainstorm together – including with community health workers from Kenya – on how to #FightForWhatCounts to defeat the epidemics\, end health inequity\, and protect humanity from future pandemics. \nFeatured speakers:\n-Rosemary Wanjiru\, Community health volunteer in Nairobi\, Kenya\n-Carolyne Wasonga\, Peer educator in Slaya\, Kenya\n-Dr. Robyn Waite\, Director of Policy and Advocacy at Results Canada \nThere will be time to interact with other participants\, plus a question-and-answer period to wrap it all up. \nWhat you can expect to learn about:\n-The Global fund’s seventh replenishment and the highlights of their recently launched case for investment.\n-The impact of COVID-19 on the fight against HIV\, TB\, and malaria and what will happen if immediate action is not taken.\n-How an ambitious pledge to the Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment will lead to impact.\n-How you can take meaningful action as part of our #FightForWhatCounts campaign and be part of creating #TheWorldWeNeed \n*Disclaimer: This 1-hour webinar is in English only.

SUMMARY:Road to Recovery for Routine Immunization: Lessons from COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the routine immunization of children. Most countries experienced drops in childhood vaccination coverage rates\, erasing decades of progress. Lifesaving vaccination campaigns were postponed in 50 countries in 2021\, putting around 228 million\, mostly children\, at risk of vaccine preventable diseases such as measles\, yellow fever\, and polio. \nAfter over two years of the pandemic and ongoing efforts to restore\, maintain and improve immunization programmes\, what are the key lessons that we have learned? Where are the current gaps and how can health systems be strengthened and adequately resourced to reach every child with lifesaving vaccinations? \nCo-hosted by the University of Toronto’s Centre for Vaccine Preventable Diseases at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health and UNICEF Canada during World Immunization Week 2022\, this webinar seeks to provide a platform to share best practices and learnings through the COVID-19 pandemic that can serve as opportunities as we embark on a road to recovery\, benefiting routine immunization. \nSpeaker presentations will be followed by an interactive Q&A session. \nModerator: \n\nDr. Shelly Bolotin – Director\, Centre for Vaccine Preventable Diseases\, Dalla Lana School of Public Health\, University of Toronto; Associate Professor\, Dalla Lana School of Public Health\, University of Toronto; Scientist\, Health Protection\, Public Health Ontario\n\nPanelists: \n\nDr. Ephrem T. Lemango – Associate Director of Immunization\, UNICEF\nJulia Anderson – Chief Executive Officer\, Canadian Partnership for Women and Children’s Health (CanWaCH)\n\nThe webinar will take place on Zoom on Tuesday\, April 26th 2022 – You will receive a webinar link and password TWO HOURS before the event. \nThe webinar will be available on the Dalla Lana School of Public Health’s YouTube page after the livestream concludes. \nQuestions? Email us at cvpd.dlsph@utoronto.ca \nAbout the Centre for Vaccine Preventable Diseases\, DLSPH\, U of T: \nWith leadership housed at the University of Toronto’s Dalla Lana School of Public Health\, we are developing an interdisciplinary group of academic researchers\, educators and public health advocates. Our vision is to catalyze cutting-edge research and education that maximizes the health benefits of immunization for everyone. \nWe aim to contribute locally and globally to healthy communities through excellence in interdisciplinary vaccine-preventable disease and immunization research and education. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Nature-Based Solutions\, Climate Resilience\, and the SDGs
DESCRIPTION:From mangrove forests in coastal villages to green roofs on city skyscrapers\, nature-based solutions are one of the most powerful – and most underutilized – approaches to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

These breakout groups will provide the opportunity to discuss the policy considerations\, opportunities\, and challenges of using nature-based solutions in development projects aimed at mitigating and adapting to climate change. \nKey Information for Attendees \n\nWhen you register\, please indicate your interest to attend in-person at the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat or to attend online (Zoom) by selecting the relevant ticket option.\nPlease note that a proof of vaccination will be required to join in person.\nIn-person attendees are welcome to arrive by 8:40am\, to network and enjoy light refreshments.\n\nEvent Format/Breakout Sessions \nThe event will include breakout sessions with each panelist focusing on implementation and/or policy. \n\nIn person participants will be welcome to join a breakout session with Patricia Fuller or Jimena Eyzaguirre.\nOnline participants will be welcome to join a breakout session with Didier Van Bignoot or Benjamin Simmons.\nPlease specify your preference for breakout sessions as you fill out the registration form.
