“…School organizations are in the frontline in improving the welfare and health of individuals and community, and is a reflection of a complete society, because they consist of components such as teachers, headmaster, students, employees and others who are also a part of a larger society. Health should be accessible globally so that it can provide comprehensive healthcare for all (Ooms, 2014). This is possible with the responsibility and full support of school stakeholders.…”

The purpose of this study was to analyze the support of school stakeholders on the utilization of PIK-R Wijaya Kusuma SMAN 1 Srandakan. This research used qualitative research with case study approach. Key informants were principals, teachers PIK-R coach, guidance and counseling teachers, and peer counselors as triangulan.

Synergism in the field of health and education is strongly needed and urgent in order to attain a comprehensive education goal of intelligent and healthy people both physically and mentally according to the mandate of the 1945 Constitution. Based on the observation in Junior High Schools in Buleleng, We found that there were a lack synchronization between vision, missions, and the planned programs in the schools, limited cleaning facilities, and an implicitly lack of healthy lifestyle of the school residents. This research aimed to describe the School Health Development Index (SHDI) at the level of secondary schools in Buleleng Regency in 2017. The sample of the research were obtained from 10 junior high schools/JHS (SMP) in Buleleng Regency. We used a method of quantitative description following observations, documentation studies, and interviews. Based on the result and discussion, we concluded that: 1) SHDI of SMP in Buleleng Regency was categorized as mid-low (0.62), with minimal value of 0.51 and largest value of 0.78. The highest index was obtained by SMP 1 Singaraja and the lowest index was obtained by SMP Bhaktiasa Singaraja, 2) most of the schools did not include healthy value explicitly in the schools’ vision and missions, 3) most of the schools operated limited number of programs on health and did not include written reports on their programs, 4) the condition of facilities and infrastructures were sufficient, there were several schools having no warehouse, and the food products in cafeterias were not controllable yet especially for the unlicensed food products (without BPOM logo), 4) the school residents’ healthy lifestyle was good enough especially for the teachers and the students.

“…Still others have argued for additional powers/authority for WHO including: empowering WHO with additional normative "soft" and "hard" law instruments (e.g. 'Framework Convention on Global Health';) and complete "reinvention" of WHO's mandate, powers, and structures (see summary in Table 1) [10,15,34].…”

BackgroundAs the 2014 Ebola virus disease outbreak (EVD) transitions to its post-endemic phase, its impact on the future of global public health, particularly the World Health Organization (WHO), is the subject of continued debate. Criticism of WHO’s performance grew louder in the outbreak’s wake, placing this international health UN-specialized agency in the difficult position of navigating a complex series of reform recommendations put forth by different stakeholders. Decisions on WHO governance reform and the broader role of the United Nations could very well shape the future landscape of 21st century global health and how the international community responds to health emergencies.DiscussionIn order to better understand the implications of the EVD outbreak on global health and infectious disease governance, this debate article critically examines a series of reports issued by four high-level commissions/panels convened to specifically assess WHO’s performance post-Ebola. Collectively, these recommendations add increasing complexity to the urgent need for WHO reform, a process that the agency must carry out in order to maintain its legitimacy. Proposals that garnered strong support included the formation of an independent WHO Centre for Emergency Preparedness and Response, the urgent need to increase WHO infectious disease funding and capacity, and establishing better operational and policy coordination between WHO, UN agencies, and other global health partners. The recommendations also raise more fundamental questions about restructuring the global health architecture, and whether the UN should play a more active role in global health governance.SummaryDespite the need for a fully modernized WHO, reform proposals recently announced by WHO fail to achieve the “evolution” in global health governance needed in order to ensure that global society is adequately protected against the multifaceted and increasingly complex nature of modern public health emergencies. Instead, the lasting legacy of the EVD outbreak may be its foreshadowing of a governance “shift” in formal sharing of the complex responsibilities of global health, health security, outbreak response, and managing health emergencies to other international structures, most notably the United Nations. Only time will tell if the legacy of EVD will include a WHO that has the full support of the international community and is capable of leading human society in this brave new era of the globalization of infectious diseases.
