New research launched by WHO Ukraine, in collaboration with the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies and the WHO Barcelona Office for Health Systems Financing, to map the current landscape of rehabilitation services financing in a sample of European countries.   The study will provide evidence on how countries across Europe finance their rehabilitation services and leverage these experiences to inform Ukraine's development of rehabilitation care financing. The outcomes of this study will also contribute to future global strategies aimed at improving the organization and financing of rehabilitation services, ensuring they are sustainably integrated into national health systems worldwide.   The study will focus on 3 key areas: ✔ patient pathways and settings of care, particularly for conditions like stroke, back pain, and amputations ✔ coverage, eligibility, and benefits offered to people; and ✔ the purchasing of services, including how different rehabilitation service providers are paid The initial findings from the research will be presented during a Policy Dialogue in Kyiv on 22 November 2024, where stakeholders from Ukraine and Europe will discuss the results and explore policy options for Ukraine. WHO’s technical assistance on rehabilitation health financing in Ukraine is supported by EU Neighborhood & Enlargement as part of the project titled “Inclusive strengthening and resilience building of rehabilitation services in Ukraine”.

This morning, at the second day of the 17th EPH Conference, Didier Jourdan Chair holder of the UNESCO Chair Global Health & Education - Chaire UNESCO Éducations & Santé contributed to the plenary session: "Tackling health inequalities in times of crisis" organised by EuroHealthNet. As mentioned by key-note speaker Fran Baum we are living in a world facing a poly-crisis that is threatening health equity. We face a multitude of challenges which significantly impact individuals' health and well-being and create the conditions for persisting health inequalities. Tackling health inequalities in times of crisis requires action across societal sectors and levels. As a panellist Didier Jourdan gave a reflection from the educational perspective. He shared 4 ideas: 1) Education shows a dose response relationship with all-cause morbidity. 2) Education systems are key actors in public health, not mere instruments. 3) A school that promotes health is first of all a good, inclusive and equitable school. 4) To fight inequalities we need to harness the power of formal, non-formal and informal education.

Yesterday, WHO met with key health stakeholders to start reviewing the health system in Estonia🇪🇪 and to ensure #refugees and #migrants have access to health services. Among others, the health system review aims to: 🔹 Assess the current state of primary health care services provided to refugees and migrants and their integration into the existing health system. 🔹 Understand the health status and needs in compliance with the legal framework in Estonia. 🔹 Identify strengths, challenges and opportunities to improve sustainable access to health services for refugees and migrants in the country and their integration into health programmes and systems. 🔹 Enable synergized support across international partners, in line with existing and future refugee and migrant health policies and plans in Estonia. 🔹 Promote coordination and collaboration among stakeholders involved in refugee and migrant health. For more than two years, Estonia has received refugees and displaced people from Ukraine 🇺🇦, making up over 3% of Estonia’s population. More than 50,000 displaced people from Ukraine have sought temporary protection in Estonia so far. Refugees’ access to health services is key to ensure #HealthForAll. World Health Organization is working with the IOM Regional Office in Brussels and EU Health and Food Safety to support countries in improving their access to health-care services for refugees and displaced people from Ukraine 👉 bit.ly/47ICqP0 Also, thanks to the U.S Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migrants for supporting this review! #EU4Health

The active participation and engagement of health and care workers in health emergency preparedness, readiness and response is crucial to support risk communication, community engagement and infodemic management (‎RCCE-IM)‎ interventions during emergencies. #Psychologists and psychiatrists are viewed as reliable and trustworthy professionals creating a safe space to discuss thoughts and feelings. They are in a good position to listen, inform about symptoms of mental health issues, work with communities to tackle stigma related to #mentalhealth and design community-centered interventions in an emergency.

We identified a typology of three models of care delivery for people in prison in high-income countries: (1) Embedded hospice model, typified by an interdisciplinary team and volunteer caregivers providing care on-site; (2) Outsourcing Care model, in which end-of-life care is provided outside the prison; (3) Collaborative community model, which involves prisons engagement with other healthcare facilities or practitioner #hpm #hapc #palliativecare #hospice https://buff.ly/4bX5aW3

How can we strengthen the #FamilyPlanning component of maternal health care? A recent call to action, published in the ijgo Journal, analyzes the case of #Tanzania.    The Tanzania programme produced comprehensive postpartum family planning (PPFP, or the prevention of unintentional or closely spaced pregnancies in the first year after childbirth) training guides for providers, and all facilities that provide delivery care were authorized to provide PPFP for those who want it. But these efforts were hampered by critical workforce shortages and other service readiness gaps, including a lack of equipment and educational materials. Pervasive misinformation also reduced demand for services. The experience of Tanzania provides a valuable illustration of both progress and persistent obstacles.    Read more to learn about this case study and opportunities to make progress. Congratulations to researchers Vandana Tripathi, Saumya Ramarao, Ph.D., Rita kabra, Laura Raney, Anna Temba, Jane Wickstrom and Aparna Sridhar!

Over 20 million children in the EU are at risk of poverty, impacting their health and education. The Alliance for Investing in Children issued a joint statement to accelerate the implementation of the #EuropeanChildGuarantee. This pivotal EU-level policy is designed to secure basic rights and services for vulnerable children across Member States. Key highlights from our joint statement: 👉 We call for innovative National Action Plans (NAPs) that go beyond superficial measures to effectively combat #ChildPoverty. 👉 We demand transparent and sufficient funding from both EU and national sources to support transformative initiatives. 👉 We advocate for meaningful engagement of civil society organisations (CSOs), children, and stakeholders in monitoring progress and to meet diverse regional needs. 👉 We insist on the establishment of clear, comparable and robust data collection to evaluate outcomes rigorously and refine strategies for maximum impact. 👉 We highlight the critical need for political commitment to prioritise the eradication of child poverty within broader EU agendas.

Earlier this month IPPOSI published its 2025 Pre Budget Submission in relation to 4 priorities including access to medecines, DH, PPI and national strategies. As a board member with a particular interest in Digital health I partially contributed to one section however the comprehensive document put together by my colleagues is available here : https://lnkd.in/evTYTDJZ DIGITAL HEALTH: We ask that additional funding be identified to advance at speed the implementation of national digital health solutions and to ensure the sharing of health information with patients and across the health system at the national and European levels. We call for work to be started around a national health data governance framework, and for public awareness and education around digital health to be started much earlier than planned (originally forecast for 2028).
