Dear colleagues,

I am a Jordanian health economics researcher currently developing a concept on expanding and rebuilding effective primary care capacity in conflict-affected and recovering Syrian settings under conditions of severe workforce scarcity. As a non-Syrian regional researcher, I do not intend to speak on behalf of Syrian communities or institutions. My aim is to open a careful academic discussion and connect with Syrian and German colleagues who may be able to challenge, refine, or co-develop the idea.

The concept draws inspiration from the historical design logic of the “barefoot doctor” model, but does not seek to replicate it. Instead, it explores a modern redesign based on structured task allocation, locally recruited community health extenders, telemedicine-enabled clinical supervision, referral safety, and continuous quality assurance.

A key element I am interested in discussing is a diaspora-linked tele-supervision layer, through which Syrian medical expertise based in Germany — potentially in collaboration with German health institutions — could support protocol development, remote mentoring, selected case review, continuing education, and knowledge transfer.

The aim is not to replace physicians or create a lower standard of care, but to extend safe and governed primary care capacity where conventional physician-centered recovery is too slow or difficult to scale.


I would be grateful for critical feedback, especially on this question: Under what governance, clinical, ethical, and institutional conditions could a diaspora-linked tele-supervision model contribute safely and meaningfully to strengthening primary care capacity in Syrian recovery contexts?
Best regards,
Dr. Mohannad M. Alarqan
Health Economics Researcher | Jordan

Policy Engagement of Global Health Researchers

We would like to invite you to participate in Nora Anton’s doctoral research on the policy engagement of global health researchers at German universities and non-university research institutes.

About the Study

This survey examines how academic global health researchers engage in policy advice work, exploring what motivates them, what enables or constrains their engagement, and how their involvement translates into perceived outcomes. By understanding researchers' experiences and perspectives on research–policy collaboration, we aim to identify opportunities and barriers that could strengthen these critical relationships.

* Your policy engagement activities
* The motivations, capabilities, and opportunities related to your policy engagement
* Your perspectives on the science–policy interface

Your Privacy
