Stakeholder Group: Academia

Dear Member of the Stakeholder Group Academia,

In the upcoming election, the Global Health Hub Germany would like to submit eight questions related to global health to the political parties as part of our electoral assessment. We aim to understand the objectives various parties seek to achieve in global health and the specific measures they plan to implement during the new legislative period.

I want to involve you in this process because one question regarding our Stakeholder Group is crucial and should not be overlooked. I have proposed a question and would appreciate your comments by December 7, 2024. I have included a German and an English version of the question so everyone can contribute. The final Version will be in German.

****German Version******
Die Forschung und Lehre im Bereich der globalen Gesundheit spielen eine zentrale Rolle, um innovative Lösungsansätze für globale Herausforderungen wie den Klimawandel, Gesundheitskrisen oder unzureichende Versorgungssysteme zu entwickeln. Wie möchte Ihre Partei die Forschung und Lehre in diesem Bereich gezielt fördern, insbesondere mit Blick auf die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit und die Einbindung aller Gesundheitsfachberufe? Welche Länder, Bereiche oder Professionen sollten dabei aus Ihrer Sicht besonders gestärkt werden, um die Gesundheitsversorgung weltweit nachhaltig zu verbessern?

****English Version*****
Research and teaching in global health are essential for developing innovative solutions to global challenges such as climate change, health crises, and inadequate healthcare systems. How would your party specifically promote research and teaching in this field, particularly in terms of interdisciplinary collaboration and the involvement of all healthcare professions? In your opinion, which Countries, areas or professions should be prioritized to enhance and sustain global healthcare?

You are also welcome to formulate new questions... this is only meant to be a first suggestion!

Looking forward to your comments and suggestions

Michael
