When Healthcare Hurts: : An Evidence-Based Guide for Best Practices in Global Health Initiatives Second Edition

When Healthcare Hurts: : An Evidence-Based Guide for Best Practices in Global Health Initiatives Second Edition

When Healthcare Hurts is an evidence-based, critical look at the potential promise and perils of global health initiatives. Greg Seager, Founder and CEO of Christian Health Service Corps, asks thought-provoking questions about global health projects that can illuminate areas of needed improvement and uncover some of our own harmful biases. Mr. Seager draws from scholarly research, WHO, UNICEF, and other authoritative sources to compose six best practice guidelines in global health. The combination of real-world case studies and the author’s wealth of experience makes this book a must-read for anyone serving in short or long-term global health initiatives.

Have you ever volunteered on a medical mission or global health trip and wondered what could have been done better? When Healthcare Hurts: An Evidence-Based Guide for Best Practices in Global Health Initiatives was the first book to look seriously at the challenges of volunteerism in global health when it was first published in 2012. Since then, thousands of individuals, groups, and organizations have used it to improve the quality of healthcare initiatives that serve the poor around the world. It has been used as a textbook for global health service-learning programs in public health, nursing, and medical schools. This Second Edition of the book simplifies these concepts and strategies for best practices in global health, and it looks at these concepts as they apply to both short-term and longer-term work in global health. It remains a comprehensive review of key principles every global health and medical volunteer should know to make a lasting difference and avoid causing harm.

Who Should Use this Handbook?

  1. The guidelines contained in this book were written for both humanitarian and faith-based healthcare delivery programs that engage in global health initiatives (short-term or long-term).
  2. Licensed physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, and healthcare professionals of all kinds that work in and/or lead global health initiatives in low- and middle-income countries.
  3. All licensed allied healthcare professionals that participate in and/or lead global health initiatives in low- and middle-income countries.
  4. University global health programs, medical team organizers, administrators, educators, organization boards, or anyone who is involved with sending providers from wealthy countries to serve in low- and middle-income countries (short-term or long-term).

If you fall into any of the above categories, this book is for you. The guiding principles outlined in this book are about helping anyone serving in global health discover what constitutes evidence-based best practices for global health initiatives. However, it’s not just about the discovery of best practices, it’s about the application of them. In the chapters to follow, you will also find some strategies to apply these practices in ways that make a real difference in the places you serve.
