Invitation to found a working group "Climate Change and Global Child Health" within the GTP
Our vision
The GTP aims at „improving child health world-wide“, especially in countries with limited ressources. In order to achieve this goal a thorough analysis and impression of the multiple factors endangering child health world-wide is needed. Health is not only influenced by the lack of preventive and curing medical services on national level but also by various global factors.
One central global component is climate change (Castello, Lancet 2009), which even manifests itself as climate crisis or climate catastrophe in some parts of the world.
The planet is facing increasing numbers of heat waves (Robinson 2013), floddings, droughts, crop loss, decrease in lokal productivity (i.e. http://www.fao.org/climate-change), water scarcity, air polution, fires as well as wars and displacements resulting from these issues.
The consequences for health an life are known: Malnutrition including illnesses caused by it as well as increased vulnerability towards further pathologies due to a weakened immune system. Spread of zoonotic infections due to vector distribution. Migration. Flight and displacement resulting in among other things the loss of access to health care structures and education for children and adolescents. Mental health issues resulting from these circumstances are still a very neglected component.
Prior estimates of climate change progression and its consequences need to constantly be adjusted due to more rapid progression and paint a dramatic picture for the upcoming decades. Climate researchers agree that there is a detectabe acceleration in the rising of the sea level as well as an increase in uninhabitable territory.
All people are effected but the heaviest burden lies on vulnerable groups like children in the global south. The highest fatality rates, far exeeding the current level, are to be expected within these groups. We are currently witnesssing the beginnings of this development in Eastern Africa (https://kenya.savethechildren.net/news/climate-change-wajir-risks-mother-and-child-survival), Australia or in the Middle East. Therefore following questions need to be asked: (1) How can we avert this development (Mitigation) and (2) how can we weaken its consequences for the people (Adaptation)?
The GTP can play an important role in advocating for affected populations and can use its international network to spread information about the effects of climate change on child health. Ideally the GTP will be perceived as advisor to government institutions and political decision makers who engage with topics regarding development cooperations, who define projects and who finance their implementation.
As a first step the GTP will have to gather information from its partners in the global south about their experiences with the impact of climate change and to discuss those within the organization. Thereafter the GTP will have to define ways how to incorporate climate change thematically into its strategies, which priority it should be given and which activities will be possible and reasonable. In order to proceed effectively we will have a close look at existing information and ressources of other relevant organizations and we will aim at close collaboration with organizations, who primarily focus on prevention, research and political engagement in regards to climate change.
In order to establish importance for the topic of climate change within the GTP and in order to actively address it we would like to constitute a working group "Climate Change and Global Child Health". If you would like to participate in the process and activities please contact Dr. Reinhard Koppenleitner (email)

Hospital partnership GTP - Newborn unit at the Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) in Dar Es Salaam (Phase I: 2018-2020; Phase II: 2020-2023)
About the project
As part of the initiative "Clinic Partnerships - Partners Strengthen Health", financed by the Else Kröner-Fresenius Foundation (EKFS) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), with technical support from the Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the GTP has been involved in neonatal care at the Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, since the end of 2018. Requested by local partners is the introduction of ultrasound and echocardiography, as well as training for doctors and nurses in various invasive and non-invasive forms of ventilation.
The neonatal unit at MNH has more than 100 beds and admits between 6,500 and 7,000 newborns per year. Affiliated to MNH is the largest medical school in the country: MUHAS (Muhimbili University for Health and Allied Sciences).
The first phase of the project lasted from 2018 to 2020 and was very successful. Therefore, a follow-up application was also approved under the same funding line. This second phase will last from 2020 to 2023 (extended by one year due to the pandemic).
Vacancies - we are looking for lecturers
- Neonatologists
- Nurses with experience in neonatology
We are looking forward to receiving applications from GTP-members or colleagues who would like to become members and who are neonatologists or nurses with experience in neonatology and who are interested in lecturing colleagues at the MNH in Tanzania.
Experience in working abroad and teaching are of advantage but not crucial.
- Duration of stay: 2-3 weeks (dates flexible)
- Requirements: Good English skills
- Pay: All expenses connected to the deployment will be covered
