Reverse innovation in global health systems: Call for papers (Globalization and Health)

Can health innovations designed for a developing country setting be applied in a developed country setting?

Is it time for developed countries to learn from the lessons of developing countries?

How can we move away from the synthetic barriers to progress and the boundaries associated with being developed and developing countries?

This series aims to move beyond the narrow constraints of traditional thinking to promote bi-directional learning that challenges and rethinks traditional practice within global health systems. The guest editors of the series are Shamsuzzoha Syed and Viva Dadwal.For further information, please visit the Globalization and Health website at http://www.globalizationandhealth.com/

Consortium of Universities fo Global Health (CUGH) offers a bi - weekly feature

Consortium of Universities fo Global Health (CUGH) offers a bi - weekly feature: a case - series from rural Uganda called “Reasoning without Resources”.The target audience is clinicians practicing in low resource settings, medicine and family medicine residents, and senior medical students with an interest in clinical global health.

The series is assumes that medical textboo ks, written for those who can access and afford them, have limited relevance to making a diagnosis in most of the world’s hospitals. This case-series addresses that reality by developing clinical skills as the fundamental "diagnostic test" available to clinicians, and sound clinical reasoning as the clinician’s principle resource. Through its Question and Answer format, the series focuses as much on pedagogical process as on biomedical content. In taking on these broad basic challenges, it hopes to inform medical education and cost-effective medical practice in modern medical settings as well.
