Collaboration

A leadership presence at the table means little without mutual respect and a consistent, reliable, collaborative presence in one another’s space. Healthcare leadership does require influential action, not just parental correspondence or command. 


As global health improves on leadership and collaboration in an increasingly small world, we can help balance global health work for maximum influence and leadership presence.


*List and detail international health agencies, by charitable organization and governing status. Detail the duplication, reach and leadership. Involve agencies together, through liaisons.


*Evaluate world health organization (WHO) and other agency credibility, respect and influence. Evaluate this by peer organization, interindustry organization and by country. Ask for survey creation and feedback assistance. Respect unbiased response. 


*Dedicate a strategic plan to extend global health into national health and partner agency collaboration. Create action with urgency, require commitment from global organizations and countries and set expectations for global health representation – even if just a listening support. Ask these countries, health ministers and health agencies what they need. Ask interindustry agencies to extend invitations and consider health in their committees or work. Practice active listening and take feedback back to WHO committees. Reduce paternalistic approach. 


*Show up. Be much, much more present and aligned in health and medicine by requiring global health and peers to be much, much more present at individual tables. Work with individual countries, commit to showing up and follow through.  


We can improve global health coordination, trust in medicine and preparation for future international health crises by prioritizing the interpersonal relationship between WHO, global health, individual countries and local communities. It is a privilege to improve interpersonal relationships, and we should be attentive to our good fortune.

Responsiveness

Responsiveness in healthcare affects optimal management, psychological safety, physical safety, customer service and quality.  Responsiveness is often dropped, or not followed through, or placed as a one-time play.  When considering others’ places and spaces, healthcare must anticipate that the gaps left by “no reply” get filled in. One way or another, a lack of response gets substituted. Often, misinformation gets deputized. As healthcare becomes increasingly interested in “infodemics” [1] and misinformation, healthcare must first take responsibility and ownership of responsiveness.  In others places and spaces, and in healthcare’s own, there must be ownership of:    How often concerns are raised to the organization, and to global health, by experts in medical fields? In other fields? How often concerns are raised by general members of the public?  The types of concerns raised Potential algorithms or classifications, so that critical reviews can occur in a...

Experts and Regulation

For all the global health coordination, and all the international research collaboration, there is no movement toward scope of practice, labor regulation, prescribing regulation or biotechnological responsibility standardization.  We should encourage measured progress toward accountability in medicine regulation, and we should do so with countries at the table.   What are the medical professions, credentials, approved education and scope of practice in healthcare, per country? What are the community healthcare worker (CHW) roles if allowed, per country? What would countries like to see adjusted or mirrored?  Which procedures are allowed for each healthcare profession? What are the rationales, inclusive of supply and demand and access issues?  What are the differences in approvals and guidelines for medicine safety, and for who can prescribe what? What is the healthcare political climate in various countries and how does this affect decision making? What analytic...
