  • Webinar: Integrating gender into health system strengthening in conflict and crisis-affected settings; what’s in our toolkit?

    This webinar took place on June 22, 2018. However, if you missed the webinar or would like to listen to it again, you can watch the recording and download the slides.

    In 2016, HSG held the first webinar on gender, asking the question, “What part should gender play in reconstructing post-conflict health systems?” Two years on and much has changed. There is a growing interest in applying gender frameworks and analysis in health systems research. The #metoo movement and other popular feminist actions have driven greater attention to gender equity. New conflicts and health crises have arisen in various settings prompting humanitarian emergency responses.

    This webinar does not seek to make the argument that we should focus on gender in post-conflict health systems. We feel that argument has been settled. Rather we describe how the process of focusing on gender has unfolded in different settings and share a range of tools that interested researchers, policymakers and practitioners could use and adapt to stimulate progress towards gender equity.

    We also want to hear from you. What challenges are you facing in taking forward this agenda? How can our global community of health systems researchers help in constructing the kind of evidence base that would guide good decision makers and facilitate best practice? Help us to shape the presentations by completing this short survey. It takes about three minutes.

  • Webinar on The peer review process – what happens when you send your manuscript to a journal

    This webinar took place on April 23, 2018. However, if you missed the session or want to listen to it again, you can watch the recording.

    Have you ever wondered what the journal editor’s viewpoint is on your article, or what happens once you send your manuscript to a journal? This webinar will provide an overview of the peer review process with advice for authors on how to engage constructively with comments from editors and reviewers, and what to do when you disagree.

    As part of a series of webinars jointly organized by HSG and Biomed Central exploring various aspects of publishing and the peer review process, this webinar will particularly focus on:

    • What happens during the peer review process

    • Models of peer review, why you should care

    • What Editors and reviewers are looking for

    • How decisions are made

    • How to respond to reviewers’ and editors’ comments

    • Dealing with rejection

  • Webinar on Improving Quality of Care during Childbirth: Learnings and Next Steps from the BetterBirth Trial

    This webinar took place on April 24, 2018. However, if you missed the session or want to listen to it again, you can watch the recording.

    Join the webinar organized by HSG Thematic Working Group Quality in Universal Health and Healthcare. During this webinar, Katherine Semaru will discuss the lessons learned from the BetterBirth trial towards the increase of quality of maternal and newborn care, and the work still needed to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.

    The Ariadne Labs’ BetterBirth Program has been focused on developing, implementing, and testing the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Safe Childbirth Checklist globally. In 2014, after a successful pilot of the Checklist in southern India, the BetterBirth study was initiated in Uttar Pradesh, India, at primary and community health centers. The study measured the effectiveness of the BetterBirth Program on the uptake of essential birth practices by birth attendants and on early neonatal mortality, maternal mortality, and maternal morbidity. With follow up data on over 300,000 mothers and infants, the BetterBirth trial is one of the largest maternal health trials ever conducted.
