In 2014, the World Heart Federation (WHF) launched
an initiative to develop a series of Roadmaps [1e6]. Their
aim is to identify potential roadblocks on the pathway to
effective prevention, detection, and management of cardiovascular disease (CVD), along with evidence-based
solutions to overcome... them. The resulting documents
provide a framework to translate strategic intent into action
on integrating epidemiology, population, and cardiovascular outcome trial data into national plans for optimal
CVD management.

In 2021, global life expectancy at birth was 74 years whereas in sub-Saharan Africa it was 66 years. Yet in that same year, $92 per person was spent on health in sub- Saharan Africa, which is roughly one fifth of what the next lowest geographic region—North Africa and Middle East—spent ($379). T...he challenges to healthy lives in sub-Saharan Africa are many while health spending remains low. This study uses gross domestic product, government, and health spending data to give a more complete picture of the patterns of future health spending in sub-Saharan Africa. We analyzed trends in growth in gross domestic product, government health spending, development assistance for health and the prioritization of health in national spending to compare countries within sub-Saharan Africa and globally.

Ziel des Projektes ist es, den in Deutschland bisher unterrepräsentierten Bereich Global Health sichtbarer zu machen und gleichzeitig einen Anreiz für Fakultäten zu schaffen, sich hier vermehrt zu engagieren. Des Weiteren soll das Ranking interessierten und kritischen Studierenden eine Möglichke...it bieten, sich über die Universitätslandschaft und die eigene Universität zu informieren. Für all jene, die sich Veränderungen an ihrer Universität wünschen, bietet das Ranking eine Grundlage für evidenzbasierte Forderungen.
Außerdem soll das Ranking der Politik einen Überblick in der Global Health Forschungslandschaft Deutschlands bieten. Es soll den Status Quo mit Positivbeispielen und gravierenden Defiziten darstellen und helfen noch ausschöpfbare Handlungsspielräume zu erkennen und zu nutzen.
