Korea Foundation for International Healthcare, Tanzania Office, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
While the significance of strengthening the biomedical workforce in resource-limited settings has been widely acknowledged, there remains a paucity of information specific to the local context. In this regard, we underscore the importance of formulating a biomedical engineering policy based on empirical evidence. To provide such evidence, we conducted an analysis of the government-led biomedical training program in Tanzania, titled 'Capacity Enhancement of Medical Equipment Technical Services (CEOMETS)'.

This study examines the intersection of social inequalities with perceived discrimination to explore differences in mental health among students in Germany.
Methods: Data from the cross-sectional project "Survey on study conditions and mental health of university students" (n = 14,592) were analysed using Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (MAIHDA).
Navigating the Labyrinth of Gender Incongruence in Conservative Societies: A Call for Compassion and Understanding.
Indian J Endocrinol Metab
December 2024
Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Adhar Health Institute, Hisar, Haryana, India.
In the conservative heartland of Haryana, India, a poignant encounter in a hospital chamber revealed the raw, often overlooked struggles of gender incongruence. A young woman, presenting in masculine attire and identifying herself with the pronouns 'he' and 'him', sought not only medical assistance for transition to male but also the validation of his identity amidst a backdrop of societal prejudice. This case underscores the complexities faced by individuals with gender incongruence in a society resistant to non-binary identities.
