“…This could be explained by how these 2 countries stand in terms of gender equality and the empowerment of the girl child. Norway is largely used as an example of countries with gender equality, 37 while Malawi has some long way to go in this regard. 38 This shows that participants in this study were aware that various identities influence how they are perceived in care giving and in interacting with their patients and colleagues.…”

North-South partnerships have been identified as one way of solving some of the challenges in health sectors globally. Norway and Malawi have one such partnership in trauma and emergence care. Lack of trauma care and emergency medicine is a major public health concern worldwide. This results in substantial loss to individual, families, and society. The study follows this partnership between Norway and Malawi, investigating on its socio-cultural benefits, and on how this contributes to the health professionals’ cultural competence. A qualitative case study was chosen for this study, 20 semi-structured interviews were conducted with health professionals and coordinators of the program. Interviews were conducted digitally using platforms such as Zoom and WhatsApp. Interviews were collected between the period of December 2020and February 2021. We found out that exchange participants from both countries largely reported positive experiences. Their experiences centered around their interactions and encounters with patients, patients’ relatives, and colleagues at host institutions. Participants reported a better understanding on health seeking behaviors in different contexts, the importance of communication with both patients and colleagues, and teamwork. In addition, the study revealed the importance on perceptions around identities such as race and gender and how these impact on health professionals’ interactions with patients. We also found out that although working in a different socio-cultural environment was reported as challenging, it was experienced as enriching and rewarding in terms of building and developing cultural competence. The study concludes that North-South health professionals exchange partnerships can be a viable vehicle for developing and naturing cultural competence in health professionals, however, such programs need to invest in preparing the exchange participants to be ready for the challenges that lies ahead in host institutions and countries.

This study conducts a comparative analysis of the economic growth models of Japan and the Nordic five countries, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, from 1990 to 2022, with a particular emphasis on three aspects: education systems, political participation, and digitalization. Progress and challenges in achieving gender equality, promoting digital education, encouraging entrepreneurship, and fostering innovation are examined to discern how these aspects have affected economic growth in both regions. Through the analysis, the differences in economic growth models of Japan and the Nordic countries, especially in the realms of educational reforms brought about by gender equality and economic growth, are discussed.
