Global Mental Health and Rudy Ruggles Scholars Coordinator of the International Office at Makerere University College of Health Sciences (MakCHS) Susan Byekwaso, MBA As an international coordinator at the College of Health Sciences, I have witnessed the partnership between NH/UVMLCOM grow from the single discipline of internal medicine to the inclusion of others like Obstetrics & Gynecology, Public Health, and Psychiatry. The Rudy Ruggles Global Mental Health Scholars Program promises to address the international recruitment crisis in psychiatry and bolster available mental health treatment for Ugandans. Makerere University’s residency training program is ideally suited to train specialized physicians who can take on leadership roles, shape policy, and guide the country in the provision of mental healthcare as well as model excellent and humane mental healthcare for their students. The program received funding from philanthropist Rudy Ruggles, a longtime and dedicated supporter of Danbury Hospital and Nuvance Health. 18 UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT LARNER COLLEGE OF MEDICINE AND NUVANCE HEALTH
2021: Humanity at the Mercy of a “Disinfodemic” and Viral Pandemic Dean of Health Sciences at Universidad Iberoamericana, Dominican Republic Marcos Núñez, MD, FICS, M.Ed As a consequence of humans pushing ecosystems and animals to the brink of extinction, we are dealing with the third novel coronavirus: SARS-CoV-2. Resilience, in conjunction with human faith and an admirable commitment of global scientists who continue to work together as a unified force, has created the synergism necessary to put an end to this tragedy. This brought in much new knowledge, particularly in respect to pathophysiology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this newly discovered virus in 2021. The possibility of having a group of effective vaccines, made by different labs in different countries on different platforms, in such a short time looked like miracles. Meanwhile, unfortunately, we noticed the expansion of social disparities and inequalities leading to lack of accessibility to these life saving vaccines in many countries. This pandemic has amplified the inequities and inequalities in our societies all around the world. No one speaks about “One Health” as a solution to this and similar future pandemics. Too few of us are discussing “One Health,” interconnectivity of planet health and human health. To prevent future outbreaks, we need to heed the importance of liberty, equity, and the One Health Movement in all societies. It is urgent that we in the global health community redirect our unified energy towards developing globally coordinated action plans in collaboration with world leaders, academies, civil societies, and people of good will if we would like to be well-prepared for another inevitable disastrous pandemic.
