Posted by Global Promise Editor | Academic Medicine, Collaboration, Medical Education

Johns Hopkins Medicine and our affiliate Bermuda Hospitals Board (BHB) wanted to create a training hub that offers a comprehensive approach for medical education on the island. By bringing medical education in-house, so to speak, we could reduce BHB clinicians’ need to travel to maintain their licenses and remain at the top of their practice, […]

Banking on a New Supply

Posted by Global Promise Editor | Clinical Program Development, Collaboration, Middle East

Cornea donations are much less common — perhaps less understood — than gifts of solid organs ­like the heart, kidneys and lungs. In fact, eye banks around the world struggle to meet the growing demand for transplantable corneal tissue. Only one cornea is available for every 70 needed, according to a multinational survey published in […]

Posted by Global Promise Editor | Clinical Program Development, Collaboration, Patient Care

When disease, trauma, congenital disorders or pain limit people’s physiological functions, rehabilitation helps them return to an active, independent life. For stroke patients, early and thorough rehabilitation is critical for achieving better long-term health outcomes.

Singular Approach for Treating Dual Diagnoses

Posted by Global Promise Editor | Clinical Program Development, Collaboration

Dealing with alcoholism or drug addiction is difficult enough, and this challenge compounds when the person also struggles with mental health issues. It’s a tragic Catch 22: When a mental health problem goes untreated, substance abuse often gets worse, and when alcohol or drug abuse increases, mental health problems usually increase, too.

Stronger Together: Advancing the Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare Mission

Posted by Global Promise Editor | Clinical Program Development, Collaboration, Middle East

Win-Win of Johns Hopkins’ Care on Site

Posted by Charles Wiener | Clinical Program Development, Collaboration, Middle East

We often hear from global affiliates how much they value the deep clinical expertise of Johns Hopkins, where physicians devised a landmark breast cancer surgery (1889), pioneered the first direct heart surgery (1944) and invented the first implantable pacemaker (1972). It was our experts who discovered the first effective treatment for sickle cell disease (1995) […]
