Robust health care systems are paramount for the health, security, and prosperity of people and countries as a whole. This book provides for the first time a chronicle of the struggle for, and eventual success of, universal health coverage (UHC) in Tanzania. Beginning with an introduction to primary health care in the country, from its historical foundations to the major milestones of implementation, this book then considers stewardship of this important aspect of health systems over time. Written in a way to allow the application of lessons learned to other countries' contexts, this book covers: - Policy and governance issues such as leadership, human resources, and financing of health systems; - Practical aspects of health system delivery, including supply chains, community care, new technologies, and the integration of services for particular population groups; - The impact and mitigation of global events on health systems, such as resilience and preparedness in the light of disease outbreaks or climate change, and social, commercial, and political influences. Concluding with a look to the future, forecasting the changes and new solutions needed to adapt to a changing world, this book is a valuable reference for policy makers, global health practitioners, health system managers, researchers, students, and all those with an interest in primary health care and reforms - both in Tanzania and beyond.

Biography & True StoriesThe Mother Wound
by Amani Haydar
A powerful and timely examination of trauma, grief and the epidemic of gender-based violence Amani Haydar suffered the unimaginable when she lost her mother in a brutal act of domestic violence perpetrated by her father. Five months pregnant at the time, her own perception of how she wanted to mother (and how she had mothered) was shaped by this devastating murder. The Mother Wound is a feminist memoir from the intersection of Amani’s experiences as victim of crime, lawyer, Arab-Australian, and visibly Muslim woman, combining memoir, social commentary and legal analysis to confront both the personal and political dimensions of trauma. Amani writes with power, fury and grace, using her recovered strength to help other survivors find their voice. ‘With a daughter’s heart and a lawyers’d mind, Amani Haydar maps the territory that connects the wars we fight abroad ro raw wars we endure in our homes.’ – Jess Hill, author of See What You Made Me Do ‘One of the most important books I have ever read.’ – Bri Lee, author of Eggshell Skull

Zimbabwe and the Politics of Torture
by John Brinkley
On June 25, 2002, the U.S. Institute of Peace and the Center for Victims of Torture (CVT) convened a Current Issues Briefing entitled “Zimbabwe: The Mugabe Government and the Politics of Torture.” Our principal purpose was to shed light on an issue that has drawn little attention from the media or from governments: the widespread use of torture as a political tool by President Robert Mugabe’s regime. “The purpose of torture,” CVT says, “is to control populations, by destroying individual leaders and frightening entire communities.” The speakers at the June 25 Current Issues Briefing were Timothy Docking, Africa specialist and program officer in the Institute’s fellowship program, who moderated the event; Douglas Johnson, director of the Center for Victims of Torture, who gave brief opening remarks; Tony Reeler, clinical director of Amani Trust; Ray Choto, Zimbabwean journalist and research fellow at Stanford University, who was tortured by agents of the Mugabe government in 1999 for refusing to reveal sources; and John Prendergast, co-director of the International Crisis Group’s Africa Program. This report was written by John Brinkley, director of public outreach at the Institute.

Intellectual property lawSeptember 2018Intellectual Property Rights and Public Policy
by Zafar Mahfooz Nomani
The book Intellectual Property Rights & Public Policy is rooted in the fact that creativity and innovation have been hall mark of knowledge economy. However despite there is an abundance of innovative energies flowing in India a conducive ecosystem to access to education, knowledge and health is far from reality. Being TRIPS compliant country, the equitable and dynamic IP regime with full potential of harnessing intellectual property for Indias economic growth, socio-cultural development and promotion of public interest are distant goalposts. The pronouncement of National IPR Policy spelt out the public policy orientation but the need to create robust IP environment as stunning controversy thats spinning out of control needs to hardly emphasized. The book is an erudite compilation of renowned scholars in the field of intellectual property having implication of moulding public policy discourse in intellectual property law. The contributors of the volumes luminates grey areas of research by drawing diverse perspectives from academicians, judges and IP practitioners. The range of papers diverse from jurisprudence of intellectual property to cyber law, human right, access to food and medicine, biotechnology and law. The book investigates prospects as well as the challenges by encompassing theoretical and juridical dimensions in Indian socio-legal context. The consequences of IP institutional failures are unimaginable and pragmatic ending is unthinkable for any vibrant nation like India. The book is never before seen revelations and leading to a single impossible and inconceivable truth of being panacea for plagued public policy diametric but definitely an incredible collection in auguring healthy polemics of knowledge management. To lend appropriate credence to the subject the working of IP Laws and institutions is undertaken to hone out the strategy of IP Law reform in public policy paradigm in India. The outputs of the compilation can capture the attention of not merely legal academics, policy makers, and legal profession but also to IP practitioners, development planner and innovation activists.
