The Global Learning Collaborative for Health Systems Resilience launches its second country chapter in Bangladesh!

GLC4HSR, in collaboration with Bangladesh Health Watch and James P Grant School of Public Health, BRAC University, launched the Bangladesh Chapter, the second chapter of the collaborative after India. Esteemed individuals with proven leadership in health systems and philanthropy unite to address health system resilience.

The momentous occasion saw nearly 100 attendees, comprising esteemed professionals and influential figures from various parts of the globe including various Technical Advisory Group members of the Global Learning Collaborative as well as speakers from the GLC4HSR’s Annual Conclave. The event was marked by addresses from eminent figures.

Prof. Mushtaque Chowdhury, Adviser, Zames P. Grant School of Public Health, BRAC University, in his welcome remarks, thanked ACCESS Health International for this initiative. He stressed the weak health system which the world witnessed during COVID-19 and highlighted the need for better and more resilient health systems.

Dr Krishna Reddy Nallamalla, President (Asia), ACCESS Health International set the context and elaborated the history and vision of the collaborative and stressed the significance of such collaborations that assists to absorb health shocks during pandemic and normal scenarios. He suggested making this collaborative learning culture and efforts to further strengthen the collaborative by onboarding partners from all over the world.

Dr Hossain Zillur Rahman, Chairperson, BRAC University, in his keynote address, spoke about 50 years of change that Bangladesh's Health systems have witnessed. He spoke on the emergence of women as socio-economic actors, rural-urban connectivity, food security cushion and the drivers of change: Grass-root culture of solution-centric innovation, accountability through contested politics, and policy entrepreneurship. Dr Rahman also spoke about the importance of understanding the health system as encompassing both healthcare and public health. COVID-19 experience has underscored the importance of health system resilience- prevent, prepare, respond, and learn.

Prof (Dr) Malay Kanti Mridha, Director, Centre for Non-Communicable Diseases and Nutrition, James P. Grant School of Public Health, BRAC University, gave a special address on the Health Resilience Measurement Tool extensively developed by a team of experts at ACCESS Health International. He talked about six building blocks naming- disaster mitigation framework, city resilience, e-resilience, UNDRR-Sendai framework, HS-WHO, and a checklist to improve health system resilience.

Dr Yasmin H Ahmed, Advisor, Bangladesh Health Watch gave an overview of Bangladesh Health Watch, its journey started in the year 2006 as a group of experts with a vision of facilitating universal health coverage for all the citizens in Bangladesh. Commitment to prioritize the well-being of its citizens and pave the way for a more prosperous future.

The GLC4HSR recently hosted a webinar on climate change and health focusing on marginalized communities in the Pacific region and Sri Lanka.

The session was moderated by Iman Hameed, ACCESS Health Consultant and Technical Coordinator for the GLC4HSR, and the panelists were Dr.  Jemaima Tiatia, Pro Vice Chancellor, Pacific, University of Auckland and a Samoan academic, researcher, and mental health and wellbeing advocate and Mr. Sandaruwan Lahiru, National Aquatic Resources Research and Development Agency, Sri Lanka. 

Climate change will force over 100 million more people into extreme poverty and an estimated 75 million people in the Asia-Pacific region to migrate by 2025. This will exacerbate the effects on mental and physical health in marginalized populations disproportionately. The webinar explored how these two communities are or can be more resilient to climate change impacts on health and what we can learn from them in our own resilience planning.

Some key takeaways from the session were:

Indigenous ways of knowing and doing are important.  We need governments to help re-establish traditional ways of knowing, as the more that’s lost, the harder it is to come back.

The people are connected to their land, physically, mentally, and spiritually. They are deeply connected to their environment; thus, mitigation and adaptation planning must be done from their perspectives.

Mental health threatened by climate change. Socioeconomic vulnerabilities, as well as physical and social ones, can put stress on mental well-being.  There is much need to understand how to design and provide community-appropriate mental health services.

Although these communities are vulnerable, they are incredibly resilient.  Facing climate change and unpredictability far more frequently, we have much to learn from them. We need more of their knowledge on resilience to be studied and represented on both global and local platforms.

Inclusive health systems need to be open to unlearning our ways of seeing and understanding, which is often a biomedical view of the world.

Day 2: https://youtube.com/live/cN82XNFJu74?feature=share

In this meeting, we will share a brief update on the Collaborative’s progress so far.  We will invite suggestions on the focus themes for our upcoming annual event on March 10 and 11, which will mark the completion of one year since the official launch of the GLC4HSR. We will also seek feedback on the learning journey and any other important areas.

The session will focus on the need for innovative surveillance methods in response to health
shocks. During a pandemic, surveillance plays a critical role in the prevention, early detection,
timely emergency alerts, and appropriate response. Traditional surveillance systems need
revamping through the integration of new age molecular and digital technologies. It should
encompass the surveillance of human and zoonotic diseases under the One Health concept.

In this learning session we will discuss and learn from two highly experienced experts in the
field of waste water surveillance and public health surveillance. The objective of the session is
to understand newer methods of surveillance and learn from the experience of these experts.
