University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) is pleased to invite you to participate in the second year of “Foundations of Global Health”.
Over the past year, while international travel, exchange, and International Educational Experiences (IEE’s) were suspended due to COVID-19 restrictions and concerns, KUMC wanted to “feed the minds” of residents, students, learners, and others who have a keen interest in and affinity for global health. KUMC was fortunate to have thirteen presentations encompassing the desire to learn from each other.
This continues to be a great opportunity for any community to learn from those who are involved in global health activities here and around the world and increase our understanding of the field of global health. This may include global health research, philosophy, approaches, attitudes, and efforts in the areas of health disparities, health inequities, and community health.
FOUNDATIONS of GLOBAL HEALTH
Global Health is a varied and exciting field to which many health care providers, researchers, and faculty aspire to being professionally engaged. With our being a globally connected world and with COVID-19 uniting the world to solve an issue, global health has never been more relevant. This year-long programming is designed to feature our experts in the field of global health – KUMC’s faculty, researchers, and clinicians; our international partners, and our community partners. Each presenter will share his/her personal journey, educational background, mentors, books, and articles that gave inspiration, challenges, lessons learned, successes, epiphanies, life-changing moments, and the heart breaks.
Foundations of Global Health is designed to inform and expose residents, students, learners, and faculty to leaders in global health; however, we hope that the faculty who contribute to this program, will also attend to learn from and support colleagues from around the world.
KUMC students who participate can earn points toward the Global Scholars Distinction Program http://www.kumc.edu/gsdp.html. Anyone who attends the sessions can earn an OIP certificate of attendance.

The Medical Grand Challenge (MGC), which was launched in 2016 by the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, is a student-led medical innovation program. It encourages medical students to identify unmet healthcare needs and to work collaboratively with students from other faculties to form interdisciplinary teams to explore creative and out-of-the-box solutions to meet these needs. It is an out-of-classroom experiential learning experience which could be transformational. The team projects will be evaluated and scored for business strategy, creativity, design quality, and health-care impact by a VIP panel of judges.

Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University has launched an innovative rapid COVID-19 antigen test kit which can detect accurately result in just 15 minutes, at an affordable price, and easy to use!
“The COVID-19 pandemic continues to heavily and rapidly spread across the country! There is an urgent need for rapid, simple, and accurate tests to detect the COVID-19 infection compared with the ‘time and cost consuming’ gold standard real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction test (RT-PCR) in the laboratory, which requires a large number of medical personnel, which causing the limited number of suspected COVID-19 cases” Assoc. Prof. Dr. Anchalee Tungtrongchitr, Chairwoman of Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, told the press.
Since June 2020, the research team led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nitat Sookrung, the Director of Biodesign Innovation Center, Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, started developing the innovative rapid antigen test kit based on an immunochromatographic assay which can detect precisely and accurately results without the need for lab equipment! The kits have been tested on COVID-19 patients at Siriraj Hospital and Ramathibodi Hospital and takes just 15 minutes; including the solution that comes with the test kits can kill the virus within a minute, which can prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the field tests!
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nitat said that when approval from the FDA has been issued, the manufacturer will be capable of producing this innovative rapid COVID-19 antigen test kit, around 100,000 kits in July 2021, and another 200,000 kits in August 2021!
The first batch will be for healthcare professionals in community hospitals and rural areas for a proactive case finding. The test kits still need some adjustment for home use and were expected to be released in August 2021, costing around 250 – 300 THB for each.
“At this moment, we’re producing an instructional video about how to use the kits for the safety and effective usage” Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nitat added.
We will use the innovative rapid COVID-19 antigen test kits to screen asymptomatic COVID-19 patients can detect the virus in people with high viral loads early. Early detection means the patients can be treated quickly and isolated from the non-infected members of the family or in the community.
