A global Pandemic, Preparedness and Response (RRR) architecture
Globally, over two million women live with obstetric fistula with the majority of the cases
being from Africa. In low-resource settings such as Zambia, obstetric fistula (OF) is a visible indicator of
gaps in maternal health care resulting in failure to provide adequate, accessible and quality m...aternal health
care, including family planning, skilled birth attendance, basic and emergency obstetric and neonatal care,
and affordable treatment of fistula. OF is preventable and treatable, and no woman in Zambia should continue to endure the condition. It is therefore necessary that Zambia intensifies national scale up of OF management centers including
community based interventions, train more surgeons and other health workers to provide quality and
affordable care closer to the women who are silently suffering from obstetric fistula.

Climate change is damaging human health now and is projected to have a greater impact in the future. Low- and middle-income countries are seeing the worst effects as they are most vulnerable to climate shifts and least able to adapt given weak health systems and poor infrastructure. Low-carbon appro...ach can provide effective, cheaper care while at the same time being climate smart. Low-carbon healthcare can advance institutional strategies toward low-carbon development and health-strengthening imperatives and inspire other development institutions and investors working in this space. Low-carbon healthcare provides an approach for designing, building, operating, and investing in health systems and facilities that generate minimal amounts of greenhouse gases. It puts health systems on a climate-smart development path, aligning health development and delivery with global climate goals. This approach saves money by reducing energy and resource costs. It can improve the quality of care in a diversity of settings. By prompting ministries of health to tackle climate change mitigation and foster low-carbon healthcare, the development community can help governments strengthen local capacity and support better community health.

Das Handbuch soll die Ausbildung in unterschiedlichen Gesundheitsberufen, beispielsweise in der Physiotherapie, Ergotherapie oder der Pflegeausbildung, um den Faktor interkulturelle Kompetenz bereichern.
Das deutsche Gesundheitssystem zählt immer noch zu den besten auf der Welt – nicht aber zu den am einfachsten verständlichen. Nicht nur für Menschen, die gerade erst nach Deutschland gekommen sind oder noch nicht lange hier leben, ist es oft schwer zu überblicken, wie genau es funktioniert und... wie man sich darin am besten zurechtfindet.
Schon die Frage, ob und wie man sich krankenversichern kann, ist schwierig zu beantworten. An wen kann man sich wenden, wenn man selbst oder ein Familienmitglied krank ist? Geht man zürst zu einem Arzt oder lieber direkt ins Krankenhaus? Und wenn zum Arzt, zu welchem eigentlich? Warum ist Gesundheitsvorsorge so wichtig und welche Vorsorge- und Früherkennungsuntersuchungen sind sinnvoll und sollten unbedingt wahrgenommen werden? Auf welche Unterstützungsleistungen der Pflegeversicherung besteht ein Anspruch?
