The Future of Global Health. The Main Healthcare Systemic Challenge: Prioritization with Yann Meunier, MD Reinventing Global Health
-
- Education
Main points
Speaker introduction (international experience and expertise / pharmaceutical industry and corporate background)
Presentation goals (road map for reaching maximum efficiency and efficacy in providing healthcare across the globe / providing food for thought to frame issues)
Global and healthcare challenges: The African example
The Clinton foundation as an example of unreliable funding
One requirement to face multiple challenges: Prioritization
Analogy: Medical emergency department
Triage process
Criterion #1 for global health: ROI with several dimensions (medical, financial, societal, political, moral, and personal)
First concrete example: Acute vs chronic disease (tetanus vs HIV/AIDS)
HIV/AIDS situation description
HIV/AIDS age distribution
HIV/AIDS treatment yearly cost (for life)
Maternal and neonatal tetanus situation description
2022 study: Vaccination coverage of mothers in East Africa
The financial calculus
The question: Why is the choice not made in favor of the tetanus vaccination?
Conclusion
Fear: Resurgence of historical diseases with COVID-19 is in the news (TB, cholera, polio, HIV/AIDS, malaria)
Second concrete example: Prevention vs cure (the tetanus example)
Conditions for success (avoiding bureaucracy and making the hard choices)
Solutions
Priority #1: Good health
Three values (equity / solidarity / liberty)
One need: One accepted and respected leadership
One urgency: A general political consensus
Two sub-priorities: Nutrition and education
One must: Erasing the African debt
Three strategies: A new and serial approach / Thinking locally and acting globally / Consolidating global health
Six suggestions: Mergers, coordinating superstructure, drastic limitation of face to face international conferences and congresses, the right to interfere in countries for healthcare reasons (particularly transmissible diseases) and the creation of global health blue helmet brigades, having poverty as the #1 risk factor for many diseases)
The past and the future
Food for thought
Vision
