MAHAVIR JAYANTI----MY THOUGHTS AND REFLECTION Mahavir’s Anekantvada and Healthcare:   May the spirit of Mahavir Jayanti illuminate our hearts and guide us towards a path of holistic wellness and compassion. At Spandan, we draw inspiration from Lord Mahavir's teachings of non-violence and harmony, fostering a healing environment where every individual's well-being is nurtured with care and empathy. Mahavir’s Anekantvada has profound implications in healthcare. The multiplicity of perspectives that anekantavada teaches us is important in the healthcare setting because teamwork, collaboration, and learning from others are at the cornerstone of medicine. Student or doctor aside, anekantavada is a human principle, a reminder of our finitude-our limits/limitations. Anekantavad also does not mean conceding that all arguments and views are true, but rather that logic and evidence determine which views are true, and as to which aspect, and to what extent. For this, Anekantavad relies on ‘samayakva’ which means rationality and logic, and ‘syadvada’ which means ‘perhaps’ or ‘may be’, i.e. ‘in some ways’ or ‘ from a particular perspective’. This helps you in your journey of becoming unprejudiced observer: prerequisite for the evolution of physician. Conceptualized and applied globally can be a great prescription for the international peace. Mahavir placed great emphasis on conquering and recognizing one’s own self and mastering the mind. On this auspicious day, let's reaffirm our commitment to promoting health, happiness, and harmony in our community.   𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐫 𝐉𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞   #mahavirjayanti #mahavirjayanti2024 #happymahavirjayanti #spandan #jainismandhealthcare #anekantvadandhealthcare #anekantvada  

Having been lucky to attend a number of the #UNGA79 side meetings and numerous other AMR and Global Health meetings over the past years has led me to reflect on what makes a good panel? Panels have become increasingly popular and there are definitely good ones and bad. My tuppence worth to what makes a good panel would be: Varying speakers on the panel (not the same candidates each time) & using blinded questions for panelists rather that asking them to pre-prepare monologues. Panelists are meant to be experts in their field! Equity in terms of panel members, importantly in gender, race, and geography. The days of 'Manels' (all male panels) should be a thing of the past (although it's not), yet racial and geographic representation is often overlooked. Prime example is the disheartening spectacle of panels addressing topics that relate directly to low- and middle-income countries, composed entirely of high-income country participants. This is all too common in the field of #AMR and #GlobalHealth Moderators should be encouraged and be prepared to CHALLENGE panelists on their views, especially when a prepared monologue has been delivered. Otherwise, what's the point? Time should be given to audience Q&A. Participants in any event are not just there to hear from the panelists, they should be encouraged to be active participants. Keep it short! The best panels I've seen were at the Paris Peace Forum which is brilliantly organised and works a treat. Each was 40 minutes on the dot. I'm sure there are other aspects that make a good panel. The above points are not difficult to achieve, but seemingly, so rarely practiced.

I take immense pride in my Chinese heritage and the deep-rooted wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It’s more than just a professional interest, it’s a vital part of who I am. Sharing the rich traditions of TCM isn’t just about passing on knowledge, it’s about enriching health practices globally with a time-honored system that has stood the test of centuries. In today’s world, where wellness often trends towards whatever is perceived as new, it’s important to recognize that TCM is not a passing trend. It is a discipline that combines the understanding of nature with human health, offering deep, holistic insights into long-term wellness. I honor this legacy by ensuring that our engagement with TCM practices is thoughtful and respectful, never commodifying but always cherishing the culture from which these practices originate. We are committed to educating our community about TCM’s benefits and cultural significance, fostering an appreciation that goes beyond the latest trends. Let’s explore how these ancient practices can provide sustainable health solutions in our modern world! How have you integrated or considered integrating Traditional Chinese Medicine into your health practices? #TCM #TraditionalChineseMedicine #heritage

A great initiative of Longevity Alliance Baltic (LAB) to organize a meetup in Riga, Latvia, on October 1, 18.00-19.30 EEST! Welcome to participate and spread the word! https://lu.ma/2y4kjlyl   Just to expand: This event is a part of the International Longevity Day campaign of October 1, that International Longevity Alliance (ILA) and other groups have been organizing for 12 years (since 2013). See here some of the Longevity Day events planned for this year, including the one in Riga. https://lnkd.in/dFT8VTMx In addition to the usual formats, like physical meetups and online videocalls, in this year, it can be possible to try something new for the Longevity Day - a hybrid of online and physical meetups (something that hasn't been done in the Longevity Day/Month campaign before) - not just a zoom streaming, but video-bridges between different physical locations. One of the locations is the event in Riga, another will be in the same time on October 1 in Tel Aviv, from which greetings will be said to the event in Riga. https://lnkd.in/dABc8_VG And now we invite setting up additional locations for this Longevity Day video bridge! In particular, locations can be set up in the countries within the International Longevity Alliance, that ILA can coordinate together. Suggestions are welcome!

🚶 How does mobility and its various dimensions facilitate healthy aging in terms of physical health, subjective well-being, social participation, and cognition? How does the environmental context shape actual mobility and mobility potential? 🔎 Exploring these relationships in two comparable yet different contexts is the central goal of the MAMBHA study (“Mapping real-life mobility and healthy aging”) with Project Leaders Christina Röcke (HLC Co-Director) and Philippe Gerber (Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research). Funded by the Schweizerischer Nationalfonds SNF and the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR), MAMBHA integrates existing data of two studies from Switzerland and Luxembourg, MOASIS (🔗 https://lnkd.in/d24Mth5a) and CURHA (🔗 https://lnkd.in/dSDZwW7j) and their longitudinal extensions to examine long-term trajectories in concert with short-term mobility-health patterns. 🎉 The MAMBHA study just celebrated its kick-off meeting in Zurich - including an after-work Christmas sweater interlude… 👉 Learn more about the project here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dZSNjpeE #healthyaging #mobility #research Harald Gall, Birgit Kleim, Christina Röcke, Susan Mérillat, Marc Grosjean, Edouard Battegay, Burcu Demiray, Marcus Grüschow, Marta Marciniak, Stephanie Homan, PhD, Sandra Oppikofer, Dr. phil.
