Global Health Council Today is World COPD Day. See Global Health Magazine's Feature Article of the Day - Why We Should Care about COPD



“Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a global public health problem of growing concern. Data from the World Health Organization Global Burden of Disease Project1 indicates that COPD is a leading c...ause of death worldwide, surpassed only by heart attack, stroke, and acute lung infections. COPD kills more people than cancer and as many people as HIV/AIDS. Use of tobacco products and - especially in developing countries - exposure to biomass fuels, and fumes from indoor cooking and heating are the reasons for the increased morbidity and mortality from COPD. Another reason for the increased number of people diagnosed with COPD is the worldwide increase in the age of the population." Read more at http://bit.ly/4GxujA.

Global Health Council Global Health Magazine Feature Article of the Day - Family Planning: The Link to Achieving All Eight MDGs

"Why is there renewed emphasis on family planning after 15 years of relative quiet? Perhaps it is because as 2015 approaches, we've realized we're not on target to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Perhaps ...we've also finally understood that family planning may indeed be "one of the most cost-effective development investments," as the UN Meeting on Maternal Health declared in Ethiopia last month. Here's my take on why family planning is important to achievement of the MDGs."

Global Health Council Global Health Magazine Feature Article of the Day - The Killers We Ignore.

"Americans and other rich country denizens have been hearing the message for years: snub out the smokes, cut out the chips, crawl off the couch, and move your body. But in many low- and middle-income countries, daily lives were consumed with ensu...ring children lived past the age of five and getting through the days’ back breaking labor to feed the family. Now globalization, urbanization and successes in combating infectious disease are bringing the burden of “lifestyle” diseases to health systems that are still struggling to catch up with rich-country levels of vaccine coverage and sanitary standards."

I don't think raping women and children is a top killer in low and middle income countries. Please educate yourself (or at least read the article) before making such ridiculous statements.

Zack Family Health International delighted to make available to you a new online information portal featuring work being presented at the International Conference on Family Planning in Kampala, Uganda next week.

We hope this tool serves as a resource for both those attending the meeting, but also for the large majority of y...ou who will be unable to attend.
The portal – available at http://www.fhi.org/Kampala -- will serve as a vehicle to engage those unable to attend the conference in the dialogue taking place onsite.

The portal will also document and communicate the important work being presented over the course of the conference. Powered by FHI, it will also pull together information from PATH, the UNC Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases, the Global Health Council, the Knowledge for Health (K4Health) Project, the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, and others.

Follow along and join the conversation at http://www.fhi.org/Kampala.
