PD 19 - Essential Surgical and Trauma Care-Planner:Prof. Dr. Ali Jafarian

PD 19 - Essential Surgical and Trauma Care An Integral Part of Universal Health Coverage Oct. 26, 2020, 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM Panel Discussion (PD 19) - Saal 2 - America Although increasingly recognized as an indivisible, indispensable part of Universal Health Coverage, limited progress has been made in recent years to advance surgical care around the world. Surgical conditions make up over five times the mortality of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined, yet funding for surgical care remains inequitably small in terms of international funding. This despite the fact that today, over five billion people remain without access to safe surgical care. The result: over 17 million preventable deaths annually and 30% of the global burden of disease is attributable to surgical conditions. Furthermore, trauma and injury accounts for 5.8 million deaths and around 50 million permanently disabled persons per year. 90% of this mortality and morbidity occurs in LMICs. To address this, we need integrated and holistic approaches to build up health systems that includes increased emphasis on surgical delivery, an emphasis that is currently lacking. We must recognize that the old-fashioned myth that access to emergency and essential surgical care is a luxury item has been debunked. On the contrary, emergency and essential surgical interventions are cost-effective and absolutely essential for Universal Health Coverage. Hosts: AO Alliance Foundation Program in Global Surgery and Social Change of the Harvard Medical School Chairs: Prof. Dr. John G.

Panel 10 - National Responses to COVID-19-Planner- Prof. Dr. Amirhossein Takian

PD 10 - National Responses to COVID-19 Oct. 26, 2020, 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM Panel Discussion (PD 10) - Saal 6 - Europe COVID-19 has affected all parts of the world as a global pandemic, affecting more people than recent epidemics. Yet nation states have responded differently, at variable time frames and with a diversity of political and public health actions. Scientists, experts, health professionals and researchers have been a part of these responses, and have also studied these action to try and define their motivations and impact. To some this diversity of responses is surprising given the common experience of COVID-19; while to others this is a sign of variations in the political and contextual factors that affect decision making. This session will discuss experiences from several parts of the world around the following key questions below. Hosts: M8 Alliance Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) The George Washington University, Milken Institute School of Public Health Chairs: Prof. Dr. Adnan A. Hyder The George Washington University | Milken Institute School of Public Health | Senior Associate Dean for Research and Professor of Global Health | United States of America Speakers: Prof. Dr. Chang-Chuan Chan National Taiwan University | Associate Dean | Taiwan Dr. Margaret Chan Boao Forum For Asia | President | Hong Kong Dr. Joanna Nurse InterAction Council | Strategic Advisor Prof. Dr. Amirhossein Takian Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) | Department of Global Health & Public Policy | Chair of Department and Vice Dean | Iran

COVID-19 Pandemic and Comparative Health Policy Learning in Iran

COVID-19 in Iran

COVID-19 Pandemic and Comparative Health Policy Learning in Iran Abstract Background: On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a global pandemic. Starting in December 2019 from China, the first cases were officially announced on February 19 in Qom city, Iran. As of April 3, 2020, 206 countries have reported a total of 932 166 cases with 46 764 deaths. Along with China, USA, Italy, Spain, and Germany, Iran has been suffering the hardest burden of COVID-19 outbreak. Worse still, countries like Iran are struggling with the double burden of political sanctions to provide lifesaving medical equipment and medicines to combat the emergency. Methods: Using systematic document content analysis and through the lenses of health policy triangle, this article aims to compare the policies and strategies that Iran is adopting, with the experience and recommendations of China and WHO to combat COVID-19. Results: Iran has formulated contextual-based policies to combat COVID-19 outbreak before and after virus entrance. Insufficient whole-government, whole-society approach in managing the outbreak, inadequate lifesaving and protective equipment, and delayed decisive governance are the biggest challenges in policy making to combat COVID-19. COVID-19 policies are a public health concern and require professional advocacy attempts through appropriate inter-sectoral collaboration and whole-government coalitions. Conclusion: COVID-19 is an unfolding outbreak; hence, policy learning is crucial to formulate appropriate policies and implement them accordingly. Iran has made many efforts to defeat the outbreak, but more coherent, timely and efficient action is required, now, more than ever, to save lives and slow the spread of this pandemic.
