Recruiting nurses from other countries is a long-standing practice. In recent years many countries in the developed world have more frequently recruited nurses from the developing world, causing an imbalance in the health services in often already impoverished countries. Despite guidelines and promises by developed countries that the practice should cease, it has largely failed to do so. A consortium of authors from countries that have experienced significant nurse poaching consider the ethical aspects behind this continuing practice.

The sombre picture of the economic situation in most developing countries, and not least in Africa, has become increasingly familiar in the last two or three years. Foreign aid is at best not increasing and the terms on which it is offered are hardening. There has been little or no relaxation of the obstacles to increased trade between the developed and the under-developed world. The growth of many poor countries has been limited; and, indeed, within the developing world, the gap between those at the top and those at the bottom is growing, as is that between the developed and the under-developed world as a whole.

Recent headlines have championed the success of much of the developed world in combating the COVID-19 pandemic, but the fight is far from over. Although developed countries such as the U.S. can somewhat afford a return to normalcy, a lack of action in confronting the struggles of the developing world will come back to haunt us - and the evidence shows that it already is.

And Training

Heifer International, an organization devoted to ending hunger and poverty through sustainable development, has worked throughout the world by giving “living loans” of gifts of livestock and training while empowering individuals and communities to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self-reliance and hope. To train a country’s population is to increase that country’s “human capital,” and educating the population while expanding the human capital is a necessity in order for developing countries to benefit from globalization. The Heifer model of adult sustainable education demonstrates the importance of education and training for people of the developing world, and not only can this model be adopted in developing countries for emerging “learning societies,” but it may be used to inform policies and practices in the developed world as well.

Media engineers subtle ways in which gender bias can persist in society and ensures the perpetuation of women subjugation in the society. In this chapter I want to excavate the various factors which contributes to the augmentation of gender biases by the media and how the media in developing countries strengthens the cause patriarchy masquerading in the façade of preserving traditions and customs? I also intend to unravel how perennial problems like illiteracy and abject poverty further dents the project of women empowerment and how deeply entrenched patriarchal values manipulate the media to withhold emancipation in true sense. How women even after being qualified suffers from several negative effects undermining her own status? It will also be interesting to delve into the ways in which gendered media is far more subversive and ubiquitous in the developing world than developed world. And lastly how the gender bias in media can be curbed in the light of social and political awakening in women in particular and the development of human ingenuity and consciousness in general.

Dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the three-dimensional imaging of choice in modern dentistry. In the developed world, guidelines have been published on the use of CBCT in dentistry, largely in response to the risks associated with ionising radiation exposure. However, the availability of different models on the market at affordable prices has made this machine an integral part of the contemporary dentists’ apparatus, even in the developing world. Here, we underline the importance of awareness on radiation protection, image acquisition, familiarity with the software and image interpretation.

Public Versus Private ◽

Developed World

From a public policy perspective, how publicly funded medical research gets privatized by the award of patents is a critical issue. It leads to a loss of welfare for the poor people throughout the world and more so in the developing world. This raises issues related to health care provisioning and financing—namely public versus private intervention debate—accessibility and affordability issues, lack of medical researcher’s attention to the diseases pertaining to the poor only, geopolitical issues between the developed world and the developing world with regards to TRIPS among a host of other issues. In this article, it is shown how power and politics operate along dimensions of poor–rich, developed–developing world, public–private–NGOs and international agencies to keep the idea of IPRs as a critical instrument for health innovation alive.
