this first group looked at a report on global health conducted by "the lancet." this is an hour. >>> good morning. sorry for the few minutes delay getting started. i'm the deputy director of the global health policy here at "csi" s. it is my pleasure to welcome you for what promises to be a new series on faith-based health care. before we get started, thanks to anita smith. i want to say thank you to katie on my team, instrumental in pulling everything together this morning. faith is a powerful force in the lives of individuals is and communities throughout the world. faith-based organizations are an important provider of health care globalry and resource for health services and support, particularly at the community level and hard to reach populations in some of the poorest places in the world. as rick warren church noted there may not be a church in every town village but there is usually a church, mosque or other place of worship. it can be critical to meeting global health and development goals. we have explored issues through ava right of issues including ac

so the name lancet means both a surgical instrument and narrow window. he wanted to cut out bad practice and shine light on good practice. and i think that still collects the way we approach topics. and health is such a vast part of our lives with so many different interfaces that this is a large area of health which received disproportionate attention over the years. it's a very sensitive area. and i think that may have made it difficult for groups to explore others in the past. and i think it's also a very vast area with evidence based. so it's difficult to make firm conclusions in the way one might do for other expects of health care. so with this issue what we want to do, however imperfect, is so set down a marker and to say this is an important topic. it's going to actually be more important in the future. and if we are to achieve the sustainable development goals, we need the help of all potential actors. what i'm hoping is this initiates a dialogue which is then taken up by other science, sociology health journals that we move the influence of fai

thank you, bill and the lancet. thank you my fellow authors in the working group of amazing people who collaborated over a sustained period of time to bring this unprecedented series on faith-based health care to launch at conference on religion and sustainable development which was held over the last several days at the world bank. kay warren was a key inspiration to this series, informed by her deep lived out experience personal experience of how religious and faith-based organizations transform stigma and save lives of people living with hiv/aids. our paper focus picks up really where andrew just left off. it focuses on the question of partnership between public sector organizations, between governments and donors and faith groups in general. and the question of what exists by way of partnership and what might scale up and strengthen partnerships. the paper lays out a case that the time is now right in the context of development trends and opportunities to very substantially increase engagement with faith-based o

and i just want to say that i want to commend the lancet and the authors who put this issue together to start where we pick up and formalize an evidenced based framework that is so critical that i don't think has existed at this level at looking at faith-based organizations and health. and so for this question and what we ask at kaiser, what happens now and what is the scope of the involvement and mark and i were talking in advance of this and clearly money is just one measure of this. there is many more ways to look at involvement. money is one that we all care about and pay attention to and so in preparation for thinking about that question i will share some data that we just looked at and really good work being done now on this. researchers and others looked e.r.a. sently at health and there is an article that came out on this roughly estimated that over the last decade or more 30% of all health system for health has been through faith-based organizations. there is a lot there but i encourage people to look at that article in plus journal, so that is available online. the other pi

and again, thank you to the lancet bill for publishing this important series and opening the discussion, which will go on. thank you very much.

and as they do move on, i hope that the lancet can be part of that.: thank you so much for that metric. it gives us a perfect foundation for the presenters this morning. jill. jill: good morning, everybody. i am going to crane my neck a little bit because i do have a few slides. the paper i'm presenting -- for those not familiar with the area at the intersection of public health, it's a diverse area with major evidence holes. i wouldn't say gaps. they're big black holes where we simply don't know things like how many faith-based provider services there are, what is the influence of faith on health behaviors. so what this paper thought to do was provide a synthesis based on a series of systematic reviews in which the authors were a part. a synthesis of primary research in which there was some substantial evidence that could actually be committed to. so what the focused ended up being on was african faith-based health service providers. we were presenting this at the bank and i thought i put this quote up there. there have been these quotes floating aro

. >> the lancet infectious diseases journal found that ndm-1 enzyme in 11 different types of bacteria narrator: ndm-1 isn't bacteria; it's actually a resistance gene that can turn bacteria into superbugs. ndm-1 is resistant to almost all antibiotics. even more frightening, it is promiscuous. the resistance gene can jump from bacteria to bacteria, making treatable infections suddenly untreatable. but there was more. ndm-1 wasn't just in hospitals. to everyone's surprise, it was found out in the environment too. >> first, from a scientific standpoint, we didn't realize that this could be done quite so easily. it meant that in places where water and sanitation was poor, where there was going to be lots of bacteria sitting next to each other, that you could have very rapid spread of resistance information across unrelated bacteria, just out there in the environment, which is a hugely greater risk than if it were only to happen within the bodies of patients who had these infections. >> hoffman: so you're saying that the bacteria were swapping this information just out there on the street w

trial conducted in the west african country of guinea and published today in the medical journal "lancetan experimental vaccine was 75%- to-100% effective in blocking new infections of the ebola virus. the trial involved more than 7,000 people, over 3,500 of whom were vaccinated. guinea is one of three west african countries that marked the epicenter of the 2014 ebola outbreak that killed more than 10,000 people. for more on efforts to create a vaccine and on this trial, i am joined by dr. anthony fauci, director of the national institute of allergy and infectious disease at the national institutes of health. so there are several different companies and people working on venus including a member of your team burks today we hear word like "game changer," you know, these are significant results. why was this so important? >> well it's significant because of the outcome of the trial. it showed rather impressive results. now, it was done under very difficult circumstances so that's really very important. it was done right during the intensity of the outbreak itself and the data that have bee

an independent group of economists and global health experts from around the world known as the lancet commission, has indicated that the return on investment in global health initiatives is very high. in fact, for every dollar that you invest, there is a return of $9 to $20 in growing the gross domestic product of the country receiving the investment. other global health initiatives such as the successful president's emergency plan for aids relief or pepfar which was started by president george bush demonstrates that results-driven interventions can turn the tide for global health challenges like maternal and child survival. taking lessons learned from past initiatives our bill would provide the focus and the tools necessary to accelerate progress toward ending preventable maternal and child deaths. i urge my colleagues to take a close look at the bill we're introducing today and to join senator coons and me in supporting this bill to save the lives of mothers and children around the world. thank you mr. president. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from dela

the paper in the lancet that talked about the challenges, about child marriage, about gender based violence, about gender, about family planning and reproductive health, there are very big issues that the u.s. government is focused on in its own strategies and sometimes the faith community can help in those strategies and at times they are a barrier to implementing u.s. goals in that area. so when you are thinking about next steps, please include how do address these big challenges. jen, do you want to start us off. >> sure. i think this echoes a lot of what the authors and others have said, but looking at the next phase of the u.s. health global policy and global health more publicly and srg's that we have to reach the poorest of the poor, we can't have the world we want if we don't, faith-based organizations and religious communities have always done that in a way that other groups haven't always been able to. so i think we can't reach those goals without their -- without their involvement. i think that is clear from the evidence and the paper shows that. so that is one. and two, on the c
