OUR PEOPLE, OUR MISSION Global Health eMagazine December 2022 Perspective Among the Letters I decided today to read the eMagazine and am glad I did. The articles around the globe are so enriching. I especially appreciate the kind words of both Wendi and Ali who had to leave for India because of Ebola. Yes, it is one globe but lived and experienced uniquely from different angles. The editors are doing an excellent job. Best regards, Sr Jane Frances Highlights Welcome Congratulations Article of the Month Video of the Month Ebola in Uganda As per the decolonisation interest group, we are having more members from different years joining on, though for the writing bit, most were not familiar with the topic whereas others didn’t know much about writing. But I am working with most of them to help them out and soon we shall have more articles coming in from different individuals. Thank you once again for the opportunity you gave us.

Dear Readers,<br />
A number of ground-breaking technologies<br />
have emerged in the twenty-first century that<br />
have changed the way we monitor our health.<br />
Wearables provide real-time information about<br />
some of the most important health parameters<br />
like heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation,<br />
and blood glucose levels. The use of handheld<br />
devices (smartphones, tablets) to perform<br />
echocardiography or point-of-care-ultrasound<br />
have revolutionized the way physicians approach<br />
patients.<br />
One of the greatest impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has been digitalization<br />
of health, including but not limited to the penetration of telemedicine or<br />
telehealth. Although we previously had digital tools, the pandemic has forced us<br />
to augment its use to organize, train, mobilize, and deploy scattered healthcare<br />
human resources. Healthcare institutions can now more effectively distribute<br />
limited resources among competing demands thanks to technology.<br />
In this new section we will be bringing the latest technological innovations in<br />
global health along with insights, expert opinions, and commentaries to our<br />
viewers. We hope you will enjoy this section. We look forward to hearing your<br />
suggestions and constructive feedback on drswapnilparve@gmail.com.<br />
In the first article of this section, we share<br />
a publication from the World Health<br />
Organization (WHO). A group of international<br />
