SUMMARY:Innovation in the Treatment of Drug-resistant Tuberculosis: The endTB Clinical Trial
DESCRIPTION:LEARN MORE/REGISTER \nIn this Global Health Research and Innovations Speaker Series event\, Dr. Carole Diane Mitnick\, ScD\, Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School will share her work on the endTB clinical trial. Dr. Louise C. Ivers\, MD\, MPH\, DTM&H\, Faculty Director at the Harvard Global Health Institute\, will moderate the conversation. \nPLEASE CLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nEvent Description\nFor decades\, poor treatment options and low-quality evidence plagued care for rifampin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB). The advent of new anti-TB drugs and enhanced funding now permit randomized controlled trials of shortened\, all-oral treatment for resistant TB. \nMethods \nendTB is an international\, open-label\, Phase 3 non-inferiority\, randomized\, controlled clinical trial to compare five 9-month all-oral regimens including bedaquiline (B)\, delamanid (D)\, linezolid (L)\, levofloxacin (Lfx) or moxifloxacin (M)\, clofazimine (C) and pyrazinamide (Z)\, to the standard (control) for treatment of fluoroquinolone-susceptible RR-TB. Participants were randomized to 9BLMZ\, 9BCLLfxZ\, 9BDLLfxZ\, 9DCLLfxZ\, 9DCMZ and control using Bayesian response-adaptive randomization. The primary outcome was favorable outcome at week 73 defined by two negative sputum culture results or by favorable bacteriologic\, clinical\, and radiologic evolution. The non-inferiority margin was 12 percentage points. \nResults \nOf 754 randomized patients\, 696 and 559 were included in the modified intention to treat (mITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses\, respectively. In mITT\, the control had 80.7% favorable outcomes. Regimens 9BCLLfxZ [adjusted risk difference (aRD): 9.5% (95% confidence interval (CI)\, 0.4 to 18.6)]\, 9BLMZ [aRD: 8.8% (95%CI\, -0.6 to 18.2)]\, and 9BDLLfxZ [3.9% (95%CI\, -5.8 to 13.6)] were non-inferior in mITT and in PP. The proportion of participants experiencing grade 3 or higher adverse events was similar across the regimens. Grade 3 or higher hepatotoxicity occurred in 11.7% of the experimental regimens overall and in 7.1% of the control. \nConclusions \nThe endTB trial increases treatment options for RR-TB with three shortened\, all-oral regimens that were non-inferior to a current well-performing standard of care. \nPLEASE CLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nAbout the Speakers\nCarole Diane Mitnick\, ScD\, Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine\, Harvard Medical School \nDr. Mitnick is Professor of Global Health & Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS) and Associate Epidemiologist in the Division of Global Health Equity at Brigham & Women’s Hospital.

SUMMARY:Educating Future Global Health Practitioners in One of the Most Remote Places in the World
DESCRIPTION:In-person event. Available to Harvard Undergraduate Students only. In-person capacity is limited and available on a first come first serve basis. \nThe Harvard Global Health Institute  is pleased to welcome Dr. Mangal Rawal\, Vice Chancellor of Karnali Academy of Health Sciences (KAHS)\, a medical university in one of the most remote areas of the world\, to Harvard’s campus on Wednesday\, February 28th. In this interactive event\, Dr. Rawal will discuss rural health equity and share the mission\, achievements\, operations\, and challenges of running a medical university in a remote region. The conversation will be moderated by Pradish Poudel\, MD\, graduate student in Global Health Delivery at Harvard Medical School. Students will get insider knowledge about health equity in rural areas such as Karnali\, Nepal\, and gain insight on the challenges and inner workings of health organizations like KAHS. \nKarnali Academy of Health Sciences (KAHS) is a medical university established by the government of Nepal to enable access to quality healthcare services and education at an affordable cost for the people of under resourced areas in Jumla. Dr Rawal\, the Vice Chancellor of KAHS\, has played a pivotal role in establishing and advancing the organization\, setting an example for how to successfully operate a medical university in one of the most remote areas of the world. \nMangal Rawal\, MD\, MPA was born in a remote village of the Karnali Province in Nepal. He defied the odds to pursue education\, completing traditional schooling in his village before advancing for further studies. Despite limited resources\, he obtained his MBBS/MD from BPKIHS and Residency in Orthopedics from NAMS\, Kathmandu\, both on government scholarships. Following this\, he pursued an AOA Fellowship in Trauma in Dhaka\, Bangladesh\, and earned a master’s in public administration (MPA) from Tribhuvan University. Recognized for his dedication to rural health\, he was appointed as the Vice Chancellor of Karnali Academy of Health Sciences (KAHS) by then Prime Minister of Nepal\, becoming the youngest Vice Chancellor in Nepalese history. His tenure witnessed groundbreaking initiatives\, including establishing undergraduate and postgraduate medical education programs in a remote medical school. During the COVID-19 pandemic\, his leadership as the hospital director of KAHS earned him the prestigious President’s Medal for extraordinary contributions. Driven by a vision to transform KAHS into a center of excellence for rural health\, medicinal herbs research\, and mountain medicine\, Dr. Rawal remains committed to serving the communities of Karnali with clinical expertise and social advocacy.

SUMMARY:Power and Money in Global Health: A conversation with Tim Schwab about "The Bill Gates Problem: Reckoning with the Myth of the Good Billionaire"
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive\, hybrid event\, Alicia Ely Yamin\, JD\, MPH\, PhD\, will moderate a conversation with investigative journalist and author Tim Schwab about his latest book\, The Bill Gates Problem: Reckoning with the Myth of the Good Billionaire. Audiences\, both in-person and online\, will have the opportunity to join in the discussion. This event is part of HGHI’s Scholarly Working Group Initiative. It is being co-hosted by the Harvard Global Health Institute (HGHI) and the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy\, Biotechnology\, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School\, and in partnership with the François-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Center for Health and Human Rights and the Program on Law and Political Economy at Harvard Law School. \n\n  \n To join the event virtually\, please click here to register \n  \nIn earlier eras\, the super-wealthy—Carnegie\, Rockefeller\, Frick and the like—were denominated as “robber barons”. They were pilloried by the popular news media and investigated in some situations. But that is not the case with Bill Gates\, who has been lauded for his philanthropy in global health. Based on investigative journalist\, Tim Schwab’s\, exhaustively researched new book\, this event will take a closer look at Bill Gates’ approach to global health\, and what has come to be called “philanthrocapitalism.” \nThe rise of philanthrocapitalism is tied to a shift in thinking about development and the role of the state in global health governance. Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation are worthy of particular focus because their investments dwarf those of other private foundations. The Gates Foundation’s investments in global health rival those of top donor countries; Gates himself played an outsized role in influencing the selection of the COVAX facility for COVID-19 vaccines as opposed to the COVID-19-Technology Access Pool (C-TAP) housed under the World Health Organization. The Gates Foundation\, on the one hand\, sets agendas for global health\, and on the other is not subject to accountability for the actions implemented\, the means and metrics used\, nor the priorities set. \nMany academic researchers at top teaching and research institutions\, including Harvard University\, rely on Gates money for their research priorities; Gates funding and the paradigm of metrics they espouse have also had deep impacts on the curricula in global public health\, and in turn on the sorts of candidates sought and the skills they will have upon graduation. As governments increasingly are unable or unwilling to invest in health as a global public good\, private philanthropies such as Gates can create institutions\, set agendas\, and shape development in ways that were inconceivable only a matter of decades ago. \n\n  \nAbout Tim Schwab\nTim Schwab is an investigative journalist based in Washington\, DC. His groundbreaking reporting on the Gates Foundation for The Nation\, Columbia Journalism Review\, and The British Medical Journal has been honored with an Izzy Award and a Deadline Club Award. The Bill Gates Problem is his first book. \nThe New York Times recently highlighted his forthcoming book (Henry Holt Books)\, The Bill Gates Problem\, as one to look out for in November; Booklist (American Library Association) gave it a starred review; and Kirkus called it an “An eye-opening look at the use of tax-subsidized money by private philanthropy.” \nThe book builds on an investigative series I published in 2020 and 2021\, which was funded through an Alicia Patterson reporting fellowship. This series won an Izzy Prize (from Ithaca College) and a Deadline Club Award (from the Society of Professional Journalists)\, and was a finalist for a Mirror Award (from Syracuse University). The Nation nominated his series on Gates for a Pulitzer. \nHis reporting on Gates has appeared in The Nation\, Columbia Journalism Review\, and the British Medical Journal\, and represents some of the only investigative journalism ever published on Gates. \nYou can read more about Tim Schwab on his website. \n  \n\n  \nAbout Alicia Ely Yamin\, JD\, MPH\, PhD\nAlicia Ely Yamin\, JD\, MPH\, PhD\, is a Lecturer on Law and the Senior Fellow on Global Health and Rights at the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy\, Biotechnology and Bioethics at Harvard Law School; Adjunct Senior Lecturer on Health Policy and Management at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health; and Senior Advisor on Human Rights and Health Policy at the global health justice organization\, Partners In Health. \nKnown globally for her trans-disciplinary work in relation to economic and social rights\, sexual and reproductive health and rights\, the right to health\, and the intersections between development paradigms and human rights\, Yamin’s career has bridged academia and activism. She has lived in Latin America and East Africa for much of her professional life and worked with local advocacy organizations\, including co-founding a program on health and human rights in the Asociación Pro Derechos Humanos (Lima\, Peru; 1999). \nYamin was appointed by the UN Secretary General as one of ten international experts to the Independent Accountability Panel for Women’s\, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health in the Sustainable Development Goals (2016-2021). She was the chief consultant to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and drafter of the ‘Technical guidance on the application of a human-rights based approach to the implementation of policies and programmes to reduce preventable maternal morbidity and mortality’\, the first guidance on a ‘human rights-based approach to health’ to be adopted by the UN Human Rights Council. \nYamin holds Juris Doctor and Master’s in Public Health degrees from Harvard University\, and a Doctorate in Law from the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina. She has published multiple books and over 160 articles in law and policy journals\, as well as peer-reviewed public health journals\, in both English and Spanish. A revised and substantially expanded edition of her latest monograph\, When Misfortune becomes Injustice: Evolving Human Rights Struggles for Health and Social Equality\, is out from Stanford University Press in 2023. \nYou can read more about Alicia Ely Yamin on her faculty page. \n  \n\n  \nAbout the Harvard Global Health Institute\nThe Harvard Global Health Institute is an interfaculty initiative that facilitates collaboration across the Harvard community and partners worldwide to advance global health equity.

SUMMARY:Health Implications of Anti-LGBTIQ+ Stigma & Discrimination: Spotlight on Uganda
DESCRIPTION:Despite widespread condemnation\, on May 29th\, 2023 Uganda’s President signed the Anti-Homosexuality Act\, 2023 into law. While Uganda has passed anti-LGBTIQ+ legislation over the past several decades\, this bill is the most egregious and among the harshest anti-LGBTIQ+ laws in the world. Since the passage of the Act\, Ugandan\, regional\, and international organizations\, including the Global Fund to Fight AIDS\, TB and Malaria\, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)\, and The President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)\, have rebuked it as a violation of human rights and a threat to the health of Ugandans. The Act will not only inflict direct harm on LGBTIQ+ Ugandans\, but will undermine public health campaigns\, most notably the HIV response\, by discouraging health seeking behaviors due to fear of punishment and marginalization.  \nOn June 12th\, the Harvard Global Health Institute and the Center for Global Health at Massachusetts General Hospital will host a webinar with local experts and advocates who will describe how the health and well being of Ugandans will be impacted by this legislation and how Uganda can forge a more inclusive path forward for all of its citizens.

SUMMARY:Monkeypox in the Global Context: Combatting Racism and Intersectional Stigma
DESCRIPTION:More than 26\,000 cases of the monkeypox virus have now been identified across nearly 90 countries. Vaccines and treatments are being rolled out by health agencies around the world\, most of which are responding to the first significant monkeypox outbreak within their country. Early outbreak response bears a striking resemblance to the early HIV/AIDS response; we have seen the use of harmful and stigmatizing language\, widespread circulation of images of African bodies with rashes\, and the conflation of sexuality and monkeypox infection. \nOn August 18th\, the Harvard Global Health Institute will host a panel of global experts who will consider how intersectional stigma and racism have shaped priorities and undermined strategy in the global response to the monkeypox outbreak. Panelists will draw on the successes and failures of prior pandemic responses to discuss how bias limits the efficacy of public health strategy and how equitable\, evidenced-based approaches can protect the health of all.

SUMMARY:Global Equity During Pandemics: Lessons from HIV and COVID for Designing a New Paradigm
DESCRIPTION:Ongoing global Covid-19 vaccine and therapeutic inequities threaten to prolong and exacerbate the pandemic for all countries. As advocates\, academics\, and policymakers alike call for the U.S. and other wealthy nations to share these lifesaving resources with the world\, it is prudent to consider the lessons learned from the HIV pandemic that can be translated into this current moment. PEPFAR and the experiences of HIV health workers offer a roadmap and over 20 years of learnings for implementing vaccine and therapeutic scale-up and delivery efforts in low resource settings. On January 20th\, the Harvard Global Health Institute and the Harvard University Center for AIDS Research grand rounds event will bring together members of the HIV research and advocacy communities to critically reflect upon applicable lessons for approaching Covid-19 healthcare delivery and identify necessary steps for a paradigm shift in how the world responds to global health crises. The grand rounds will include a 1-hour panel discussion between leaders of the global HIV response and a 30-minute fireside conversation between Dr. Tony Fauci and Dr. John Nkengasong. These conversations will be oriented towards practical\, timely steps that advocates\, academics\, and policymakers can take to advance equity in this and future global health crisis.
