OUR PEOPLE, OUR MISSION Global Health eMagazine March 2023 Highlights Reviews Written by Mary Shah, MLS, AHIP Medical Librarian & Archivist at Norwalk Hospital February Issue of eMagazine The Nuvance Health and UVM Larner College of Medicine Global Health Program has been in existence since 2012 and proudly works in a bi-directional exchange with healthcare professionals in over seven countries. The NH-LCOM Global Health Program recently published the New Year issue of its Global Health e-Magazine. GH Narrative Reflections Hispanic and Latinx Voices Global Local Voices of Ugandan Students Nursing Division Women’s Health Education Innovation and Technology Our Beautiful Planet Art to Remind Us of Who We Can Be Article of the Month You’re Invited Photo News Calendar Global Health Family Resources Previous Issues of the eMagazine This issue opens with a quote from Rumi, followed by a piece on equity, diversity, and inclusion from a literary perspective. There is also a creative piece by a medical student about identity. An update is given on mental health work in Uganda and another piece on palliative care work is proceeding and the need for CT scans in another part of Uganda. Dr. Scholand wrote an overview and a link to the last Global Health Grand Rounds, providing a link to the recording of the Chagas and Other Neglected Tropical Diseases impacting Global Health. The next piece in the e-magazine highlighted the communication with the NVH Boards as well as other high-level meetings with other administrators and key stakeholders. Two very different perspective pieces followed and yet were equally impactful. A medical student from Uganda wrote about the costs of uterine fibroids and Dr. Parve discussed the benefits of innovation and technology for Global Health. The Nursing Director wrote of the challenges of caring for elderly people in various countries while being mindful of cultural norms. The newly formed women’s health education called for contributions from scholars and educators. In the Global local section of the e-magazine, a college student examined the impact of stress on cardiovascular disease in South Asians which was followed by a discussion of the use of art in political discourse. Then there was a link to an article with a most intriguing title, “If you had to read one book on global health….” The article and video of the month followed: a Time article about the women of Iran, a video about them as well and a video of Glen Campbell singing about kindness. Dr. Nurkhametova edited the new section on the environment, listing events that discuss climate change as well as a collection of photographs that capture the beauty of Africa from photographers who live there. The e-magazine then has a section of welcome and congratulations, as well as letters to the program, calendar of events and photographs from the Global Health family. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is frequently quoted, “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane.” While some might interpret the diversity of voices in the Global Health Program e-magazine incongruent or distracting, one should see it as a strength of the program. The diversity of our voices is a force to work toward equal healthcare for all. No one contributor has greater relevance. Each voice reminds everyone Reviews continued on next page >> 12
OUR PEOPLE, OUR MISSION Global Health eMagazine March 2023 to focus on the under-served and under-represented. Each participant balances another’s perspective. This program’s central tenet is that every organization and participant has equal input. The program is also trying to reach out and connect with people not yet involved—as evident from posting a Glen Campbell song. For those who think that discussion of the environment in the sphere of global health should consider what Dr. Margaret Chen said, “A ruined planet cannot sustain human lives in good health. A healthy planet and healthy people are two sides of the same coin.” Health does not happen in a vacuum, so it is important that the place where people live, work, and serve be considered when addressing health.
