Last week the GLOHRA Steering Committee joined a parliamentary event in support of global health research, hosted under the patronage of Bundestag member Ruppert Stüwe. This event marked the release of a report evaluating Germany’s contribution to Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) research and included broader discussions on global health research. In the panel discussion on Germany's engagement in global health, Beate Kampmann (Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin & German Alliance for Global Health Research (GLOHRA)) emphasized the need for policies that promote interdisciplinary research and advocated for enhanced collaboration conditions with researchers in low- and middle-income countries. She also underscored the importance of engaging with stakeholders outside the health community, including economists, to bolster broader support for global health. Looking ahead we hope to build on recent progress in Germany's efforts to advance global health. We are especially grateful to the parliamentary members who dedicated their energy and attention to this important topic 🙏 Thank you also to the organizers Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine, Deutsches Netzwerk gegen vernachlässigte Tropenkrankheiten (DNTDs), the DTG, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Parasitologie, Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevoelkerung (DSW), CEPI (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations) & German Alliance for Global Health Research (GLOHRA). A final thanks to the expert speakers who brought this event to life: Georg Kippels, Ottmar von Holtz, Ruppert Stüwe, Jürgen May, Beate Kampmann, Achim Hoerauf, Christine Dahlke. ℹ Learn more about the event: https://lnkd.in/eWuwiUp9 📃Find the report on NTD research: https://lnkd.in/e3XWC_ii 📰Read a news article about the event from the Ärzteblatt: https://lnkd.in/egwt39kb #globalhealth #policy #sciencepolicy #NTDs #collaboration #interdisciplinary #research #GermanStrategy #crosssector #Zusammenarbeit
