Palliative Care: A Neglected Global Health Priority
Where medical care is limited, suffering can be extreme and prolonged. Yet in many LMICs, pain management is a low priority. This panel will introduce palliative care as an unmet global health need that academic partnerships can help. Discussion will review Hospice Africa Uganda, an NGO that provides training and palliative care services, and Rwanda’s palliative care program, which is integrated into the national health system. Academic partnerships will then be examined as a means to strengthen palliative care education, clinical services, and research.

Building Capacity and Engaging Stakeholders in Implementation Science
Implementation science (IS) plays an important role in identifying barriers to and enablers of effective global health programming and policymaking to develop evidence-based innovations. Yet support of IS alone will have limited impact unless that scientific evidence is used by health program implementers and policymakers. This session will highlight models that enhance the effective use of evidence to help overcome implementation challenges by engaging program implementers and policymakers in implementation science. A group of experts from different areas of health will discuss the role of stakeholder engagement in IS and will help to identify IS capacity needs in this area.

Lancet Commission on TB: Building a TB-free world
In September 2018, the United Nations will host its first ever High-Level Meeting on Tuberculosis. At that meeting Heads of Government from Member States will commit to taking the necessary steps towards ending the epidemic. The Lancet Commission on TB highlights a framework for identifying and implementing priority policies necessary to realize that commitment. These include new models of person-centered TB care and private sector engagement, and the importance of shared responsibility and sustainable financing. This panel will discuss these recommendations and highlight how TB-specific policies can have broader global health impact.

Innovative Capacity Building Models for Global Health in Low and Middle-Income Countries
Many LMICs including those in the Middle East and North Africa region have endured decades of civil unrest, conflict, political turmoil, or long-term economic instability. Implications of such protracted crises on different levels of the countries’ health systems including human resources capacities, infrastructure, and policies among others have further aggravated the fragility of the existing systems. In this context, innovative approaches to capacity building in global health that can build resilient health systems have become necessary. The aim of this session is to describe the creation of contextualized learning models for delivery of global health knowledge and research capacity.

Sustainable Healthcare and Global Environmental Change
Pollution is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, globally responsible for 9 million premature deaths annually. While the health care sector is itself a major emitter of environmental pollutants, many examples have shown that reducing pollution can improve both public health and the triple bottom line of the health service sector. This session will critically review existing information and tools, identify a strategic research agenda to aid policy makers, clinicians and health administrators, and provide resources for education, training and capacity-building.

Emergency and Trauma Care Development: Multidisciplinary Approach to Implementation for Impact in Global Health
Trauma is a major public health issue. Death and disability related to injury have reached epidemic proportions. Over 90% of deaths associated with injuries occur in low income countries. The care of the injured requires a multidisciplinary approach. To save lives following trauma, a timely and well-coordinated contiuum of care from the site of injury through definitive treatment at health care facilities is crucial. The panelists will discuss existing policies, share experiences in low resource and high resource environments, and outline examples of existing collaborations and best practices.

Healthcare of Refugees: A Worldwide Crisis
According to the United Nations Refugee Agency over 28,000 people flee their homes daily, leading to over 22.5 million refugees worldwide. Refugees are hosted either in LMICs with limited resources, or in HICs where socioeconomic and cultural barriers may affect their healthcare, particularly for the prevention or treatmeant of non-communicable diseases, or pediatric and woman health services. The question of who should allocate resources, or identify a path to integrate refugees in national health programs, remains open. This panel of speakers will address these questions from institutional as well as advocacy perspectives in a local and global context.

Strengthening Mentoring in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Call to Arms
Mentoring is a proven path to scientific progress, but is not yet a common practice in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs). We produced a comprehensive methodology of mentoring for LMICs published in the special edition of the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. Seven articles illustrate how to tailor mentoring to the context and culture of LMICs, and provide guidance on implementation. Now is the time to act to improve this LMIC-led approach to strengthen mentoring programs in LMICs. This “call to arms” invites global health scientists including partners from high-income countries to lead and support these efforts.

From Carrot to Stick: A Legal Analysis of Medical Missions and Tools to Support Ethical Engagement in Low-Resourced Medical Settings
Studies have documented numerous concerns with medical missions in low and middle income countries and best practices are available to guide health-related engagement in low-resourced medical settings. Unfortunately, some organizations conduct programs that violate best practices. In particular, “hands-on” clinical participation of volunteers with little or no medical training and drug distribution policies have come under scrutiny. These concerns raise such serious ethical questions that many have questioned whether these organizations are breaking laws in the US or in host countries. This panel will provide a legal analysis of STEGH activities that have raised concerns and provide recommendations to stop these practices, including legal solutions and university programmatic solutions.
