Good Intentions in Global Health
Explores informal global health action and the importance of intentions of those who volunteer In the past two decades, medical missions have gained popularity among medical professionals, who view these excursions as important ethical interventions. Indeed, the notion of giving back by volunteering in rural or impoverished communities is celebrated as an ideal act of selflessness, one whose effects are unquestionably beneficial to those being served. Good Intentions in Global Health is a groundbreaking exploration of the growing realm of informal global health engagement, shedding light on the intricate interplay between intentions, emotions, and ethical considerations. Drawing on fieldwork...
Québec
Québec’s distinctive approach to health and social policy is predicated on its unique social history in Canada, which has allowed it to spearhead many innovations within the Canadian health care landscape, inspiring not only other provinces but also the federal government. Québec: A Health System Profile provides an in-depth, descriptive analysis of Québec’s health care system. The book examines the organization of the health care system, financing mechanisms, health and human resources, infrastructure, and service delivery models and describes the major health care reforms in Québec that have occurred since the start of the twenty-first century. It also offers commentary on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Québec’s health care system throughout. Presenting foundational health services concepts in relation to Québec, along with the complementing socio-historical approach adopted to describe Québec’s unique health care system, the book equips readers with invaluable insights and tools to navigate the complexities of ongoing health care policy challenges and to envision possible solutions forward for Québec’s health care system.
Research Handbook on Health Care Policy

Education in Global Health Policy Making and Management
Global health has been increasingly recognized as a key element of sustainable development. The recent increase in the number of public and private global health actors and the complex global governance for health boosted the need for professionals who combine a thorough understanding of health-related challenges with multidisciplinary training in social sciences, economics, and management. In the past few years, this has led, not only to the mushrooming of courses dedicated to global health, but also academic degrees in global health. By reviewing a recent attempt to innovate the educational offerings in global health policy and management by a consortium of academic institutions in Italy, the book analyzes the recent trends in global health education. The book concludes that while global health and development is certainly an emerging area in the higher education systems of many countries, international offerings in graduate programs are still highly dominated by those taught in medical schools, often failing to combine health sciences with economic, social, and management sciences. The multidisciplinary nature of global health education programs should be improved.
Traveling Models and Practical Norms
Public policies, development projects, and NGO interventions often have large gaps between the planning and execution. Standardized public policies, especially development ones, ignore the multiple contexts in which they are implemented. Local actors (those targeted by public policies or responsible for implementing them) play a major role in the implementation of planning and execution. Their many strategies for circumventing official directives and protocols follow implicit "practical norms" that are ignored by international experts. This book examines how different modes of governance that deliver services of general interest experience significant gaps between explicit rules and implicit practices, between planned actions and daily routines, in Africa and beyond.
Mathematics for Human Flourishing in the Time of COVID-19 and Post COVID-19
The International Chair in Mathematical Physics and Applications (ICMPA - UNESCO chair), University of Abomey-Calavi, Benin, and the Center for Applied Mathematics of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Niš, CAM-FMEN, organized a webinar on Mathematics for human flourishing in the time of COVID-19 and post COVID-19, 21 October 2020, supported by the City of Niš. The objectives of the webinar were to give precise information about the work that scientists do to cure the disease, to push forward technology, to understand our society and create new expressions of humanity, and to question the role of mathematics in the responses to this pandemic.
Risquer la mort pour donner la vie
La mortalité maternelle n'a pas été considérée partout comme une fatalité. Dans la Grèce antique, la femme morte en couches était honorée au même titre que le guerrier mort au combat : tous les deux donnent leur vie pour que la vie continue. Même si la santé des mères constitue un véritable enjeu de santé publique à l'échelle de la planète, plusieurs pays ont encore du mal à freiner l'évolution des courbes de décès et des millions de femmes en Afrique continuent de mourir en donnant la vie. Dans ce continent où une course contre la montre se joue quotidiennement, des solutions simples et économiques existent pourtant déjà. Pour faire le point sur ces évolutions qui...
Politique africaine n°156 : Global Health et la santé ?
Les problématiques de santé en Afrique connaissent un tournant majeur depuis les années 2000. La Global Health et son objectif d’inscrire les chocs épidémiologiques dans les agendas internationaux s’illustrent par l’intervention inédite d’une constellation d’acteurs sur les terrains de la santé. Ces nouveaux faisceaux de partenariats public-privé, de réseaux transnationaux, de programmes internationaux, sur lesquels se redéploient de manière inégale des trajectoires de politiques nationales, renouvellent la pensée politique de la santé en Afrique. Ce dossier soumet à l’épreuve des faits cette reconfiguration des politiques de santé, dissèque les déterminants des progrès et des inégalités, ainsi que les apories qui fondent les rapports entre l’économie de marché et les impératifs de santé publique. Les textes de ce dossier montrent, sur des politiques spécifiques, des césures et des continuums dans la manière de penser la santé tout en mettant en lumière des angles morts de la Global Health.
