Join the Menzies Centre for Health Governance, RegNet and People’s Health Movement Australia for this launch event of Global Health Watch 6, the alternative world health report, which addresses key issues related to health systems and the range of social, economic, political and environmental determinants of health.
Global Health Watch 6 (GHW6) is the latest edition of People’s Health Movement’s flagship publication, released every 3 years in collaboration with like-minded organizations and the voluntary effort of over 100 contributors from all over the world. Written in the shadow of a global pandemic (the book’s subtitle), it describes how and why the pandemic deepened inequities in health and access to healthcare. But it also looks beyond the pandemic to what is needed to create a fairer, healthier, and environmentally sustainable future.
Sandro Galea, dean of BUs School of Public Health, examines why the COVID-19 pandemic was worse than it had to be and how to reshape our public health in his new book The Contagion Next Time.
(MENAFN - The Conversation) Back in early January, Prime Minister Boris Johnson predicted that with a fair wind in our sails , the UK would be able to offer a first COVID-19 vaccine dose to its first four priority groups by mid-February.
The winds have evidently been good. All frontline health workers, care home staff and residents, extremely clinically vulnerable people and over-70s – some 15 million people – were offered a first dose before the middle of the month arrived. The question is what happens next.
The UK government s remaining priority groups cover everyone aged 50-70 and all other clinically vulnerable people. However, the government has shown that it s willing to be somewhat flexible with prioritisation, having this week added 1.7 million people to the clinically vulnerable list. Half of those added have yet to receive a first dose, so have been moved up the queue.
