“…In their Series paper, Ilona Kickbusch and colleagues 1 criticise Germany's higher education sector preparedness for global health, citing Kaffes and colleagues. 2 We agree with Kickbusch and colleagues' view but want to stress that progress has been made.…”

“…The authors call for an enabling network or platform to build synergies between the major German institutions-eg, through a global health institute or think tank. Although this approach is consistent with an analysis of Germany's scientific academies, 2 the success of a specialised global health institute with an international programme would ultimately also depend on a domestic public health knowledge base of high competency and sufficient capacity. Strengthening of the structure of public health in Germany serves a dual purpose: it improves the effective ness of public health at the national level, and provides future global health initiatives with a scientific knowledge base from which to draw.…”

“…Frank debate and, possibly, structural changes are needed if the health system is to be improved. 2 The Future Forum Public Health is an important step in the right direction, but it will need to lobby far more energetically for increased state funding for schools of public health, and should instigate public debate on structural causes of the fragmentation of public health that might require significant reform of well established institutions within Germany's health system.…”

“…15 The racist misuse of public health politics during National Socialism 16 caused population health sciences to fall into disrepute for many decades after World War II. 17 Thus, population health has only recently been fostered in German academia. Additionally, what is called global health today has its historical roots in the European and US-colonialism of the 18th century with its inherent asymmetrical power relations between colonisers and colonised.…”

Is time running out? The urgent need for appropriate global health curricula in Germany

et al. 2020

Recently, representatives of politics, health officials and academia in Germany have advocated a greater role for Germany in matters concerning global health. However, health professionals in Germany are rarely taught about global health topics and accordingly real expertise in this field is lacking. To advance knowledge and competencies at German universities and adequately equip health professionals to achieve Germany’s political goals, global health curricula must be developed at medical schools and other institutions. Such ambitions raise questions about the required content and dimensions of global health curricula as the field is currently highly heterogeneous and ill defined. To systematically identify strengths and shortcomings of current curricula, we scrutinised the global health curriculum at our institution, Charité—Universitätsmedizin Berlin, using an analytical framework that integrates the various approaches of global health. Our analysis identified that four (technical, social justice, security and humanitarian) of five approaches are present in our core global health curriculum. Local and global aspects of the field are equally represented. We propose that the use of such a structured analytical framework can support the development of GH curricula for all health professionals—in Germany and elsewhere. But it can also help to evaluate existing curricula like ours at Charité. This framework has the potential to support the design of comprehensive GH trainings, serving German aspirations in politics and academia to promote health worldwide.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Akteure der öffentlichen Gesundheit (Public Health) tragen wesentlich zu Gesundheitsschutz, -förderung und Prävention auf Bevölkerungsebene bei. Kenntnisse über die Akteurslandschaft erleichtern die Zusammenarbeit und erhöhen die Transparenz des Berufsfeldes für Nachwuchsfachkräfte. Zielsetzung Ziel dieser Arbeit waren eine Bestandsaufnahme und Kategorisierung überregionaler Public-Health-Akteure in Deutschland. Methodik Ausgehend von einer Aufstellung der teilnehmenden Institutionen am Zukunftsforum Public Health und zielgerichteter Onlinerecherche wurden überregionale Organisationen mit Public-Health-Schwerpunkt identifiziert. Alle Akteure wurden durch ≥ 2 Autor:innen unabhängig voneinander gescreent. Rein lokal tätige Akteure und solche ohne erkennbaren Public-Health-Schwerpunkt wurden ausgeschlossen. Mittels Schneeballverfahrens wurden weitere Akteure identifiziert. Zur thematischen Clusterung wurde induktiv ein Kategoriensystem gebildet. Ergebnisse Von 645 gescreenten Akteuren wurden 307 (47,6 %) eingeschlossen und 12 Ober- sowie 30 Subkategorien zugeordnet. Die Oberkategorie Fachverbände (n = 60) weist die höchste Akteursanzahl auf, gefolgt von zivilgesellschaftlichen (n = 49) und staatlichen Akteuren (n = 40). Neben einer tabellarischen und grafischen Darstellung wurde eine interaktive Akteursübersicht erstellt (www.noeg.org). Diskussion Diese Arbeit bietet eine umfangreiche Übersicht über Akteure der öffentlichen Gesundheit in Deutschland und verdeutlicht die Breite der deutschen Public-Health-Landschaft. Die Ergebnisse bieten neue Möglichkeiten zur Vernetzung und können Nachwuchsfachkräften Berufswege aufzeigen. Ausgehend von dieser Arbeit sind ergänzende Forschungsarbeiten zu Public-Health-Akteuren sinnvoll.
