The Future

HIV infection is now almost 40 years old. In this time, along with the catastrophe and tragedy that it has entailed, it has also represented the capacity of modern society to take on a challenge of this magnitude and to transform an almost uniformly lethal disease into a chronic illness, compatible with a practically normal personal and relationship life. This anniversary seemed an ideal moment to pause and reflect on the future of HIV infection, the challenges that remain to be addressed and the prospects for the immediate future. This reflection has to go beyond merely technical approaches, by specialized professionals, to also address social and ethical aspects. For this reason, the Health Sciences Foundation convened a group of experts in different aspects of this disease to discuss a series of questions that seemed pertinent to all those present. Each question was presented by one of the participants and discussed by the group. The document we offer is the result of this reflection.

Healthcare Transformation

In collaboration with the McMaster Health Forum Student Subcommittee, The Meducator is pleased to introduce ForumSpace, a column which aims to educate readers on current issues in the health sciences, particularly health policy, so as to engage students and promote active discussion. The Student Subcommittee oversees student-led activities designed to offer opportunities to explore issues of interest to McMaster students and the public, in line with a key mandate of the McMaster Health Forum—to nurture the leaders of tomorrow by exposing them to the leading thinkers and doers of today. This inaugural paper in the ForumSpace follows the event ‘Ill-Informed: The Future of Universal Healthcare in Canada’, held earlier this year, which inspired a small group of students to think further about these issues. Among them is the author of this article, Adrian Tsang, who is also a member of the Student Subcommittee. The aim of this article is to present some of those opinions and how they could contribute to the transformation of Canada’s healthcare system. The views expressed in this article are the views of the author and should not be taken to represent the views of the McMaster Health Forum.

Geology and Health is an integration of papers from geo-bio-chemical scientists on health issues of concern to humankind worldwide, demonstrating how the health and well-being of populations now and in the future can benefit through coordinated scientific efforts. International examples on dusts, coal, arsenic, fluorine, lead, mercury, and water borne chemicals, that lead to health effects are documented and explored. They were selected to illustrate how hazards and potential hazards may be from natural materials and processes and how anthropomorphic changes may have contributed to disease and debilitation instead of solutions. Introductory essays by the editors highlight some of the progress toward scientific integration that could be applied to other geographic sites and research efforts. A global purview and integration of earth and health sciences expertise could benefit the future of populations from many countries. Effective solutions to combat present and future hazards will arise when the full scope of human interactions with the total environment is appreciated by the wide range of people in positions to make important and probably expensive decisions. A case to illustrate the point of necessary crossover between Geology and Health was the drilling of shallow tube wells in Bangladesh to provide non-contaminated ground water. This "good" solution unfortunately mobilized arsenic from rocks into the aquifer and created an unforeseen or 'silent' hazard: arsenic. Geologists produce maps of earth materials and are concerned with natural processes in the environment with long time-frame horizons. The health effects encountered through changing the water source might have been avoided if the hydrological characteristics of the Bangladesh delta had been known and any chemical hazards had been investigated and documented. A recurrence of this type of oversight should be avoidable when responsible parties, often government officials, appreciate the necessity of such integrated efforts. The book extols the virtues of cooperation between the earth, life and health sciences, as the most practical approach to better public health worldwide.

In the 1987 report Libraries Without Walls: Blueprint for the Future, Muriel Armstrong Flower put in writing her vision for a library that was open to all Canadians. This paper discusses Flower's recommendations and their outcomes and offers commentary about the current state of Canadian health sciences librarianship. It also outlines recent progress made towards equality of access to health information for all.

The Department of Health Sciences (University of Florence) developed a regional website “VaccinarSinToscana” in order to provide information on vaccines and communicate with the general population, as well as the healthcare community, at a regional and local level. The aim of this paper is to present the VaccinarSinToscana website framework and analyze the three-year activity of the website and the related social network account on Facebook in terms of dissemination and visibility. In the first three years since its launch, the VaccinarSinToscana portal has increased its visibility: the number of single users, visits and single web pages has grown exponentially. Our results also demonstrate how the Facebook account launch contributed enormously to the increase in the visibility of the website. The objective for the future of the VaccinarSinToscana portal is to grow further, in order to reach out to an even wider audience.
