This time was focused primarily on the crises in maternal health with the most passionate advocate being Jennie Joseph, a midwife working in a rural setting in Florida.

  Practice and presence: a gathering for Christians in health care – finding God in all things Daniel W. O'Neilla a MD, MA(Th), Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Medicine, University of Connecticut School of Medicine, USA With the complexities and time demands of health care in the late modern world and the scientific reductionist frameworks which tend to depersonalize medicine, as well as the complex systems which frame clinical and global health practice, there is a need for reflection and connection. Organized by the department of Theology, Culture, and Medicine, the conference accomplished its objectives of tuning our eyes and hearts to see God’s presence in our work in healthcare; to engage in imaginative, contemplative reading of scripture and prayer; to learn from Ignatian practices of discernment and decision- making; and to grow in friendship with one another.1 Seeing and Seeking God In the opening session John Hardt, PhD., Associate Professor in Neiswanger Institute for Bioethics, Stritch School of Medicine, and Vice President and Associate Provost of Mission Integration, Loyola University Health System and Health Sciences Division, introduced the Ignatian concepts of seeing God in all things and seeking God as “a beggar, a supplicant” through contemplation to attain divine love.

Expatriate Christian physicians working in medical missions should be examples of Christ-like care in a hurting world to those under our instruction.

  Why World Vision supports healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies to improve maternal and child health: a faith-based perspective

summary:
  As new data were published in 2008 and again in 2014, measuring the impact of the length of the preceding birth-to-conception interval on maternal, infant, and child mortality and child stunting, World Vision adopted the term “healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies” (HTSP) as its approach to family planning. However, children born to older mothers are less likely to be stunted and underweight than those born to mothers less than 18 years of age.2 In 2012, The Lancet published a report on birth timing and spacing that verified this research, and supported the integration of family planning with maternal and child health programs.

  PRIME Partnerships in International Medical Education - Restoring a Christian ethos to medical education worldwide

summary:
  Historical Context Modern medicine and medical teaching have developed in the Western world, influenced by both the Christian tradition of hospitality pioneered by the European monasteries 1 , and the Judao-Christian value system that has historically underpinned the major institutions of our society (Government, Law, Education, Commerce, etc.). So the realities of medical practice in the world today include the following:  Gross inequalities in access to health care within and between nations  Poor governmental management of health care systems 

The reverse problem occurs in countries where medical schools recruit foreign students to raise tuition income, then teach the students in English using faculty whose command of English is suboptimal, thus leading to a poor atmosphere and outcome.

  Additionally, we maintain that the creation of bioethics case scenarios specifically applicable to the context of our African learners has been instrumental in making such a content module useful in growing the ethical decision-making capacity of the participants. Facilitation of case discussions has been especially aided by structuring cases that specifically force the making of a difficult ethical decision, soliciting an articulation of any disagreements existing within the presenting group, and exploring permutations of each case in order to see if that changes opinions and to clarify the underlying ethical principles at play.

  Theological foundations for an effective Christian response to the global disease burden in resource-constrained regions

summary:
  This means that skills, best practices, and reflections must be shared — growing and learning together toward the goal of God-honoring improvements in global health. Conclusion Expanding Christian communities through- out the world are indeed in a critical position to be faithful witnesses to the God who heals, to be salt and light to a health care industry that desperately needs to provide affordable, accessible, compassionate whole-person care to every population, and to influence policy and practice in global health toward equity and justice.

  Professor Mosley offers empirical evidence that introduction of modern family planning methods into societies where these had not been available resulted in reduced rates of abortion. She also argues that modern contraception makes pregnancy the sole responsibility of a woman, freeing men from an incentive to marry and an obligation to care for mother and child.

Members identified that their Clusters differed from many other community-led initiatives in terms of their approaches (i.e., a relational and collaborative approach) and achievements (i.e., Clusters reported achieving changes in community health where other organisations had not in the past).

  Such a Time of It They Had - Global Health Pioneers in Africa by Raymond Downing. Manqa Books, Nairobi, 2018

summary:
  While being fully aware that “attempts... at solidarity can be pathetic” and that “solidarity with Africans does not fix things,” Downing still holds on to it because it is “a start” (p. 303) even though “today in global health our self- imposed mandate does not include living with people, sharing their lives and problems“ (p. 301f; original emphasis). Exposing these and like motives subtly at work in many global health care programs, Downing persuasively drives his point home: while almost everyone engaged in global health honestly wants to solidarize with the disadvantaged through sharing of resources and volunteering time and expertise, it is a lack of discourse about the meaning of solidarity which causes what “we often get... wrong” (p. 16).

  In medical missions, specifically, the consequences include the potential of compromised individual and collective health. In medical missions, questions about how to assume a Christian posture are complicated, not only by the sociohistorical context of the missions movement but also by the fact that medicine in and of itself engenders imbalances in power.

Though human right to health is not widely discussed in theological literature, general human rights from biblical perspectives are a well- researched and reflected issue, and there is no dearth of knowledge on the topic.

According to the WHO fact sheet on human rights and health, states are obligated to secure access to health care and to provide reasonable conditions affecting the determinants of health for their citizenry.3 A conflict arises when the determinants of health are partially or wholly within the decision-making powers of the citizen(s) themselves, i.e., in our example, the choice to engage in unsafe sexual practices or to access inappropriate health services.

In turn, this karmic understanding of disability can discourage people with disabilities from accessing medical treatment.

In this way, religious health assets — tangible and intangible — become valuable if they can be rendered intelligible and appreciated using the existing lexicon and logic of global health.

  He notes that 10-30% of cases of depression are refractory to pharmacologic treatment, and 30% of those with TRD do not respond to any treatment.6 Gish identified 19 stressors that contributed to a possible build up to depression among cross- cultural workers that, if unrelieved, lead to health issues, relational problems, and cognitive impairment.7 A study in the United States concluded that 35% of pastors battle depression, fear, and anxiety, and that only one out of ten pastors will retire as a pastor.8 Depression is a major cause of attrition among cross-cultural workers, with an incidence of 27-32% among missionary healthcare workers.9 Burnout does not equate with depression but is often a precursor to depression if left unmanaged. Key words: Treatment Resistant Depression, Suffering, Missionary retention, Empathy, Transcendence Introduction According to a World Health Organization estimate, unipolar depression is the leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide, affecting 300 million people.1 Worldwide, irrespective of cultures, there has been a steady increase in the reported cases of depression, considered an epidemic of modernization.

The global burden of disease, the social and economic determinants of health, and healthcare in low-resourced settings were covered in depth, while human rights in global health was the area least covered.

  Conclusion Within the scope of holistic community health and development, many models exist. Introduction The relationship between faith-based organizations and community health and development has been the topic of much discussion within the past twenty years with focus on how a holistic model can lead to a more successful and sustainable outcome.1,2,3 Holistic health can be difficult to define and even more difficult to apply in practice.4 Public health and religion have at times been at odds with each other resulting in distrust and limited collaboration for the benefit of the community.5 Given this history, communities of faith and public health agencies have successfully worked together to improve health in faith-based partnerships.6 This history provides the significance for reviewing existing approaches not only to work together but to authentically combine faith with public health.

Findings from the study have revealed that mission hospitals have established schools and training schemes that allow them to train medical personnel to complement the limited number of health personnel on the continent.

  Methods: A mixed-method study was conducted with 194 respondents, seeking to understand knowledge and attitudes of church leaders towards F1000D, current church responses, existing F1000D models and approaches that may be suited to the church, the role that respondents see for the church in F1000D, and barriers to mothers accessing F1000D services. The research showed that although there is limited knowledge and engagement with F1000D by church leaders, there is broad consensus that the church does have a significant role to play in this life stage.

summary:
  We are duly informed that in the past, health care was regressively distributed, with the result that the great majority of mankind were and are still allowed to suffer from diseases, disabilities, and deprivations, which the world community as a whole has the skill and resources to relieve. One drawback is that health care has been considered a rather low priority in the demands on community resources as compared to education and other social needs.

  Bridging the Divide Between Health, Social Development and Environmental Interventions: An Example From The Leprosy Mission

summary:
  In addition to influencing the factors that increase leprosy prevalence, climate change will also affect people already affected by leprosy who may be plunged into further poverty. The link between leprosy incidence and socio- economic circumstances has been demonstrated because even before medical treatment became available, the disease vanished from Europe, and it began to decline in post-war Japan as poverty reduced.17 An association with unfavourable socioeconomic indicators including access to treated water, lower family income based on minimum wage, and more contact with other leprosy patients and the disease was demonstrated in Brazil.18 Leprosy bacteria has been found in soil and water around areas around poor, leprosy-affected communities in Brazil and India.19 Research in Ethiopia has indicated that leprosy transmission may be related to adequacy and access to water, sanitation, and hygiene as well as to schistosomiasis co-infection.20

  Such training activities were also built into the KFFC curriculum to help students learn how to (and that they can) push themselves beyond their limits, which research suggests will give them confidence in their ability to persevere and grow through difficultly.28 In keeping with MA research, specific partner drills (e.g., self-defence, sparring) were also incorporated into the KFFC program in order to increase students’ tolerance of distress since they are repeatedly exposed to stressful29 and threatening situations,30 and taught how to positively respond.28 KFFC program designers intentionally included a variety of individual and partner training activities such as katas, conditioning, sparring, and self-defence based on research suggesting that such training will support those with mental illnesses. More specifically, KFFC students learn and practice K-F techniques such as sparring, self-defence, and katas that the research suggests can increase their cognitive functioning such as attention, working memory, long-term memory, speech, intelligence,16,25 judgement, planning, and conflict resolution.15,22 Improvements in cognitive functioning were expected to span all ages and developmental stages.

I pray this poem will inspire the reader to not shy away from the hardships that can come with medical missions but to fully embrace God’s calling to be His hands and feet to bring the gospel to the ends of the earth.

  Making distribution of wheelchairs sustainable: A Wheels for the World program in North India, October 2015

summary:
  By means of working through and with local disability programs, engaging with recipients before and after the event, recruiting religious leaders and training local therapists, this approach is more empowering, builds community, and benefits individuals in a way that accounts for their life context. In conclusion, although wheelchair distrib- utions have been criticized for being charity, for disempowering local programs, for unsustainability and inappropriateness, we believe this model avoids these pitfalls.

Widows in India face immense challenges through enduring abuse, discrimination, and poor financial opportunities.
