Dissemination of heart health promotion in the Ontario Public Health System: 1989-1999

Abstract The public health system in Germany, similar to education and cultural affairs, is characterised by the federal structure. It is mainly regulated and decided at the state and municipal level, and not primarily at the national level. The preventive health care act (The Act to Strengthen Health Promotion and Preventive Health Care) (2015) underlines the setting-based approach of health promotion and takes a life course perspective by recommending goals of growing up healthy, living and working healthy and healthy ageing. The act formulates broad recommendations for prevention and health promotion at the national level, that in turn take on concrete forms in mandatory framework agreements at the federal state level with uniform health objectives. On the whole, the key objective of the act is to improve preventive health care and general health promotion. Also the financing of the act by the mandatory health insurance is a special feature and at the same time a novelty. At the same time a bottom-up project has been recently launched with the aim to develop a public health strategy in Germany. The project future forum public health (ZfPH) is a platform for public health professionals, researchers and students following incorporated concepts of policy analysis as well as methods that will ensure participation, transparency and transferability of the results into policy and practice. Over the next three years, ZfPH’s steering group will moderate a participatory process, including stakeholders from public health practice and research as well as policy makers. In an evidence-based approach, they will first analyse the current state of Germany’s public health system before developing concrete policy recommendations for a coherent and efficient public health system. The presentation will give a short overview over the German public health system and the preventive health care act, its structure and the achievements as well as the bottom-up project future forum public health.

Context Specific

What does innovation mean to and in India? What are the predominant areas of innovation for India, and under what situations do they succeed or fail? This book addresses these all-important questions arising within diverse Indian contexts: informal economy, low-cost settings, large business groups, entertainment and copyright-based industries, an evolving pharma sector, a poorly organized and appallingly underfunded public health system, social enterprises for the urban poor, and innovations for the millions. It explores the issues that promote and those that hinder the country’s rise as an innovation leader. The book’s balanced perspective on India’s promises and failings makes it a valuable addition for those who believe that India’s future banks heavily on its ability to leapfrog using innovation, as well as those sceptical of the Indian state’s belief in the potential of private enterprise and innovation. It also provides critical insights on innovation in general, the most important of which being the highly context-specific, context-driven character of the innovation project.

AbstractThe plague has been wreaking havoc on people in Madagascar with the COVID-19 pandemic. Madagascar’s healthcare sector is striving to respond to COVID-19 in the face of a plague outbreak that has created a new strain on the country’s public health system. The goal and activities of the gradual epidemic of plague in Madagascar during COVID-19 are described in this research. In order to contain the plague and the COVID-19 pandemic in this country, we have suggested long-term recommendations that can help to contain the outbreak so that it may spread to non-endemic areas.

Abstract Background Infectious diseases are more common and severe in patients with HIV, which show different response to vaccines and a diminished protection. It is therefore very important to assess knowledge and attitudes towards vaccination in people with HIV, since precise vaccination coverage and vaccine hesitancy are not well established in this subgroup of patients. Methods A sample of 119 patients with HIV completed a cross-sectional survey. Patients were recruited during their routine medical examination at the infectious diseases clinic in Turin. The survey explored these main areas: demographics and history of HIV infection, vaccination history, attitudes towards vaccination, confidence in the public health system, contagion risk and disease seriousness perception. In this preliminary phase descriptive analysis were conducted. Results Preliminary data show that mean age of the participants was 49.51 years, 80% were males. The median of HIV infection duration was 10 years, while the median of the lymphocyte count was 762.50 cells/mm3. The disease with the highest vaccination coverage was tetanus (88.7%), considered a serious or very serious disease by 85.6% of the participants, despite low or very low contagion risk perception (84.1%). The disease with the lowest vaccination coverage was Herpes Zoster (7.3%), despite high or very high seriousness perception (70%). Furthermore, 99.1% of the participants showed high or very high confidence toward public health system professionals, and the majority of them (59.5%) stated that vaccines are more useful for the community than for the single person. Conclusions Vaccination coverage is still not fully satisfactory regarding diseases considered infrequent or mild. Considering the high level of confidence toward the public health system that has emerged, it is necessary to implement informative and operative strategies about vaccination for European HIV patients, which are particularly at risk regarding infectious diseases. Key messages Vaccination coverage and risk perception in HIV patients is not satisfactory for many diseases and an effort to implement informative strategies in Europe is needed. The role of vaccination in preventing infectious diseases in HIV patients should be recognized and strengthened by relying on the high level of confidence toward European public health systems.
