The ‘Year Of UHC’ – Interview With Swiss Global Health Amb. Nora Kronig Romero 07/02/2019 Health Policy Watch Universal health coverage, access to medicines, and noncommunicable diseases are priorities for Switzerland in global health policy. Amb. Nora Kronig Romero is the head of the International Affairs Division and Vice Director General of the Federal Office of Public Health, as well as Swiss Ambassador for Global Health. She sat down with Health Policy Watch while in Geneva last week for the meeting of the World Health Organization Executive Board, which Switzerland attended as an observer to the governing board comprised of 34 WHO member states.

Surgeons practice complicated procedures on models created by 3-D printers. A pre-programmed drone collects blood samples from residents of a rural village and travels back to the capital. These awe-inspiring scenarios have all recently unfolded in what is undoubtedly a golden era of innovation in healthcare. Continue reading -> Blog: WHO Walking The Line Of Caution On Refugees And Migrants’ Health In Europe 25/01/2019 Health Policy Watch Surely, the topic of human mobility has been the stumbling block in the common agenda of European countries for the last few years. In fact, the very existence of the European Union as we have known it so far is at stake, on this political issue. A certain degree of prudence would seem understandable, then, a few months ahead of the May EU elections. Surely, the intergovernmental nature of the UN agencies force them to interact with Member States, that is why exacerbating the political arena is a risky operation that may not pay off at all, in the long run. Moreover, for WHO Europe, the report on the health of refugees and migrant people in the 53 countries of the region is the first one of its kind, which may explain the hesitance of the beginner. But it is difficult to deny a bitter aftertaste, especially after the press conference. Continue reading -> G-Finder: R&D Investments Reach 10-Year Peak 23/01/2019 Health Policy Watch Funding for neglected disease research and development reached its highest level in a decade, with US $3.56 billion in investments in 2017.

Continue reading -> Political Commitment, Public Sector Investment: Key Universal Health Coverage Ingredients 05/12/2018 Health Policy Watch Compulsory public finance remains a key mechanism for achieving universal health coverage (UHC), according to Professor Robert Yates of the Centre on Global Health Security at the London-based Chatham House, Royal Institute of International Affairs. Continue reading -> WHO Emergencies Head Praises Collaboration With Pharma On Ebola, Calls For Expanded “Strategic” Collaboration 05/12/2018 Health Policy Watch The current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the second largest ever, occurring in a “perfect storm” of a densely-populated conflict zone. Yet thanks in large part to a strong collaboration between the World Health Organization and the pharmaceutical industry, the outbreak has so far remained confined to two DRC provinces, says Peter Salama, WHO deputy director general for emergency preparedness and response. Continue reading -> WHO: Curbing Climate Change Would Save Over 1 million Lives A Year From Air Pollution Alone 05/12/2018 Health Policy Watch Meeting the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement to keep climate change below 2° C could save about a million lives a year by 2050 through reduced air pollution-related deaths alone, says a new World Health Organization Special Report on Health & Climate Change.
