- Open AccessTranslating Implementation Experiences and Lessons Learned From Polio Eradication Into a Global Health Course: Insights From an International ConsortiumAnna Kalbarczyk, Svea Closser, Aditi Rao, Oluwaseun Akinyemi, Humarya Binte Anwar, Eric Mafuta, Piyusha Majumdar and Olakunle O. AlongeGlobal Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):682-689; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00460
Using international collaborations to develop educational materials presents several challenges but offers enormous benefits in gleaning a wealth of information, perspectives, and context. The global course that resulted from this collaboration mirrors the goals of implementation science more broadly—to bring the findings of research into routine practice to improve health services.

Noncommunicable Disease and Injury (NCDI) Poverty Commissions in 16 low- and middle-income countries provided evidence-based recommendations on a local, expanded set of priority NCDIs and health-sector interventions needed in national initiatives to attain universal health coverage. These commissions provide a collective platform for policy, research, and advocacy efforts to improve coverage of cost-effective and equitable health-sector interventions for populations living in extreme poverty.

The use of mobile health (mHealth) in Ethiopia’s primary health care system offers a potential solution to improve timeliness and quality for maternal and newborn health care services. It is user-friendly and fosters communication between health care workers and health extension workers to provide quality services across the pregnancy continuum of care.
