Abstract

Where They Need Me examines the work of Haitian health professionals in humanitarian aid encounters. Haiti is the target of an overwhelming number of internationally funded health projects. While religious institutions sponsor a number of these initiatives, many are implemented within the secular framework of global health. Pierre Minn illustrates the divergent criteria that actors involved in global health use to evaluate interventions' efficacy. Haitian physicians, nurses, and administrative staff are hired to carry out these global health programs, distribute or withhold resources, and produce accounts of interventions' outcomes. In their roles as intermediaries, Haitian clinicians are expected not only to embody the humanitarian projects of foreign funders and care for their impoverished patients but also to act as sources of support for their own kin networks.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed healthcare systems worldwide. Even as the world transitions out of the pandemic, numerous health threats remain, the biggest of which is climate change. This book examines both the virus and climate change in the context of international health security. It begins with chapters on the effect of COVID-19 on pregnancy and the perinatal period and its relationship to toxic stress. Subsequent chapters address climate change and its effects on human health and wellbeing, natural disaster frequency and severity, and occupational accidents.

Abstract

Au début du XXe siècle, les politiques de santé évoluent au gré des bouleversements des sociétés civiles confrontées au choc des armées européennes. En Grèce, les Guerres Balkaniques, la Première Guerre mondiale puis l’expédition d’Asie Mineure imposent dix années de conflit (1912-1922) durant lesquelles les mouvements de troupes et de réfugiés comme la détresse des populations forment le terreau d’épidémies dévastatrices. À cette situation de crise sanitaire, sociale et démographique, répondent pour la première fois des politiques volontaristes de prise en charge médicale et de contrôle social, dans le sillage des théories hygiénistes de la fin du XIXe siècle. Si leurs réalisations restent limitées durant la période, elles posent les bases administratives, organisationnelles et idéologiques du système de soins moderne. Cet ouvrage propose une étude de ce processus à travers l’influence de la mission militaire française puis de l’Armée française d’Orient, mettant en lumière les interactions complexes des acteurs grecs et étrangers impliqués dans cette « guerre totale ». At the start of the 20th century, the upheaval in civil societies that were confronted with the shock of European armies led to a change in public health policy. In Greece, the Balkan wars, the First World War and the Greco-Turkish War brought ten years of conflict (1912–1922) during which movements of troops and refugees and a generally distressed population provided fertile ground for devastating epidemics. For the first time ever, this health, social and demographic crisis led to the advent of pro-active medical and social policies, based on late 19th century research into public health. Even though, at the time, the policies achieved little in concrete terms, they nevertheless set down the administrative, organisational and ideological foundations of the modern health system. This publication undertakes a study of this process through the influence of the French military mission and that of the…
