Pandemic response often exacerbates inequities - but it doesn't have to!

"In sports, a playbook is a collection of strategies prepared in advance and then selected or adapted based on the opposing teams’ strengths. Strategies are developed by learning from past games and assessing team capacities, with extenuating circumstances and conditions (like a home or away game) also considered. Preparing for a pandemic requires a similar balance of planning and flexibility. While the specifics of the type of infectious diseases are rarely known ahead of time, we can learn from experience and develop strategies to mitigate uncertainties. Not every ‘play’ will be applicable to every pathogen or context; a playbook provides options that can be selected and adapted as needed. With this need to prepare for the unknown in mind, we have created this Pandemic Preparedness Playbook."

On the 19 November in Nagasaki... After a hiatus of a few years, we are delighted to announce that the Gender MeetUp on the sidelines of the Global Symposium on Health Systems is back! It’s free and everyone is welcome! The MeetUp is an informal event that takes place outside the hustle and bustle of the conference. It is a chance for like-minded delegates to get together, relax, chat and make new friends. The MeetUp is for people who use gender analysis in their work on health systems and for those who would like to, but just don’t know where to start. What to expect: - A warm welcome - Something low budget - Great company - No PowerPoint - Laughter and solidarity Come along, if you have reports and papers you want to share bring a copy. We can do swaps. The MeetUp is being jointly organised by ReBUILD for Resilience, the Johns Hopkins Summer Institute in Gender and Health and BRAC University JPG School of Public Health. We are trying to find a venue within walking distance of the conference centre. Until then, it would be great to get a sense of the number of people who are interested and whether you have any access requirements we should be aware of. We are trying to get a budget for refreshments. We will do our best. If you are interested please fill in this short google form. It should take a couple of minutes. We will be in touch! If you share your email we will store this data securely and use it to contact you about the event and any follow up. We will allow you to opt out of future emails. If you would like to discuss this further please email kate@pamoja.uk.com. https://lnkd.in/gTxz_HSx

Hi members 👋🏻 Please do take a look at this call for case studies on health equity initiatives ✍🏾 Also, please share ♻

I'm so pleased to share this paper, which I think might be one of the first to analyze relationships between gender and moral distress related to unpaid caregiving. Most interesting findings: 1) Men reported greater moral distress related to unpaid care responsibilities than women (I predicted the opposite) 2) healthcare workers who also provided unpaid care had higher moral distress rates compared to those who did not https://lnkd.in/gAqxZP_e Jorge Andrés Delgado-Ron, Alice Mũthoni Mũrage Hasina Samji Rosemary Morgan, PhD Haaris Tiwana Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University Gender and Public Health Emergencies

New paper on race, gender and moral distress shed light on Canada's healthcare worker crisis and the inequities that perpetuate it. https://lnkd.in/dApzycip Some key findings: - 57.5% of the sample reported considered leaving due to moral distress - White men and physicians had lowest turn over intention - Racialized women had the highest mean moral distress score There is urgent need to address systemic barriers, including racism and sexism, within the healthcare sector. Tackling intersectional inequities is essential to healthcare worker wellbeing and ability to meet current and future challenges.
