GPHW2024: Webinar: Internacional: Alimentación Saludable y Estrategias de Promoción de la Salud

Theme: Promoting a Sustainable Life for Thriving Communities

Date and Time: 11th April 2024 | 17:00-21:00 (GMT-4)

Event Description:Las enfermedades no transmisibles (ENTs) se encuentran entre las principales causas de morbilidad, mortalidad y discapacidad en el mundo, representando en un desafío para la salud pública y una amenaza para el desarrollo económico y social. Los factores de riesgo modificables, como el consumo de tabaco, consumo nocivo de alcohol, alimentación poco saludable, el sedentarismo y la contaminación ambiental, son responsables de mas de dos tercios de ENT.

Las dietas poco saludables y la malnutrición se manifiestan en deficiencias de nutrientes, obesidad y sobrepeso. La promoción de sistemas alimentares sustentables, la seguranza alimentar y acabar con el hambre se encuentran en el marco de los objetivos de desarrollo sustentable.

Diferentes medidas de salud pública han sido propuestas para dar a la población informaciones clara y precisas sobre los productos que son consumidos, así también para promover una educación nutricional. Entre las estrategias se encuentran el etiquetado nutricional que ayuda a alertar a las personas sobre la presencia de sustancias asociadas a diversos danos a la salud. Otra estrategia que esta siendo adoptada por los países de la región es incrementar los impuestos de bebidas azucaras y ultraprocesadas para disminuir el consumo por la población.
Por lo indicado es importante trabajar de forma conjunta en busca de una alimentación saludable y contribuir con la educación alimentaria para una vida mas saludable.

Theme: Promoting a Sustainable Life for Thriving Communities

Date and Time: 11th April 2024 | 14:00-15:30 (GMT)

Event Description: The International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA) recognizes the urgent need for a human rights-based approach to addressing the intersecting challenges of climate change and health.

The panelists will share their insights and experiences in advocating for policies and interventions prioritizing the rights and well-being of communities impacted by climate change.

GPHW2024: Conflict Resolution Skills for Public Health Professionals

Theme: Promoting a Sustainable Life for Thriving Communities

Date and Time: 12th April 2024 | 13:00-14:30 (GMT)

Event Description: Conflicts are inevitable in any work environment, especially in the health sector. Failure to address conflicts between healthcare professionals impedes the progress of health public health and hinders the delivery of essential health services. A dysfunctional healthcare professional brings an insidious cost to any health organization, making the understanding of the basics of medical ethics and being capacitated in conflict management skills essential to every healthcare worker.

Since IFMSA is a hub for medical students who are interested in public and global health, capacitating the members on understanding the dimensions of conflict dynamics in public health, conflict management skills, medical ethics, and health equity is a priority.

By the end of this session, participants are expected to achieve the following objectives:

• Understand the core causes of conflict within public health;
• Understand cultural sensitivity and competence;
• Develop an understanding of medical ethics and its foundational principles;
• Explore the ethical dimensions of conflict resolution;
• Recognize the AAAQ framework;
• Be equipped with efficient conflict-resolution techniques

This session will be based on a peer education approach, using different interactive methodologies, including presentations, case studies, group discussions, and debates.

GPHW2024: ASPHER’s Core Curriculum Programme (CCP): what are the needs for teaching the role of public health in preventing and responding to armed conflict?

Theme: Fostering the Development of the Right Competencies within Tomorrow’s Health Workforce

Date and Time: 12th April 2024 | 12:00-13:30 (CEST)

Event Description: We are faced with an emerging set of public health challenges due to war and conflict, as a result of political instability and climate catastrophe. Injury and death, and the physical and psychological impact of violence on individual and population health cannot be underestimated, especially for the most marginalised in society, and across generations. The impact on infrastructure can devastate health systems and economies. Consequently, the contribution of public health to promote peace and equity has never been more important. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the need for a new set of core public health competencies to meet these emerging challenges.  ASPHER’s curriculum review has been guided by the need to train tomorrow’s workforce in high-level communication, the role of the built environment, 21^st century field epidemiology, criminal justice, disaster preparedness and health system resilience and sustainability. The specific challenges of war and conflict for public health will be addressed in this discussion. There will be an expert panel and Q&A session with the online audience. We understand the importance of building vital capacity amongst public health professionals together with affected communities. The panel will include public health curriculum design experts. They will describe ASPHER’s curriculum approach so far, touching on the new public health realities and the ethics of public health. We will engage the audience in a discussion of how these relate to our development of a War, Conflict and Public Health curriculum. What should public health professionals do to enhance their skills in preventing violence, responding to violent conflict, and in recovery and rehabilitation from conflict situations?  We will set out an agenda for a series of subsequent meetings to discuss the areas of work needed in more detail.

Programme for the meeting: 

12.00-12.05     Introduction by the chair:  Amanda Mason-Jones, Associate Professor in Global Public Health, University of York and ASPHER Emergencies Task Force.

12.05-12.10     The ASPHER core curriculum programme: Teaching conflict, war and public health:  what have we found so far?   Mary Codd, Director, UCD Master of Public Health (MPH) & EuroPubHealth (EPH+) Programmes ASPHER Executive Board / ASPHER Public Health Core Curriculum Programme Lead.
