“…In the context of pandemics engagement plays a critical role in contributing to the protection of, respect for, and empowerment of participant communities (World Health Organization, 2020), as well as in ensuring that research is relevant to local health priorities (Nuffield Council on Bioethics, 2020). Care is needed to develop processes which can address power imbalances and enable meaningful engagement with diverse stakeholders, including women and marginalized populations (Neupane et al, 2018).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has both highlighted and exacerbated global health inequities, leading for calls for responses to COVID to promote social justice and ensure that no one is left behind. One key lesson to be learnt from the pandemic is the critical importance of decolonizing global health and global health research so that African countries are better placed to address pandemic challenges in contextually relevant ways. This paper argues that to be successful, programmes of decolonization in complex global health landscapes require a complex three-dimensional approach. Drawing on the broader discourse of political decolonization that has been going on in the African context for over a century, we present a model for unpacking the complex task of decolonization. Our approach suggests a three-dimensional approach which encompasses hegemomic; epistemic; and commitmental elements.

“…One of the respondents articulated that if we want to change the people's mindset and engage them in sustainable development, we need to create a clear vision for them. To ensure health care for all, countries are required to set their policies to provide a vision of SDGs at local and national levels and create meaningful partnerships at the global scale (Neupane et al , 2018).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore strategies during transformation to obtain sustainable development and to identify the human-based factors contributing to the transformation. Design/methodology/approach This qualitative study explored the strategies that health-care leaders need to adopt during transformation to achieve the Sustainable Development of the United Nations' agenda by 2030. The study was conducted in early 2020 among ten health-care leaders in the USA. The research design was an exploratory qualitative approach that used a semi-structured, open-ended questionnaire asked of ten US health-care leaders who had experience in leading health-care transformation in their organizations. The study findings identified that health-care leaders can facilitate the achievement of Sustainable Development by establishing strategies in knowledge improvement, innovation development, motivation increment, global strategy and local strategy alignment, leadership support and partnership development. Findings Six major themes emerged from the data linked to the central research question: “What are the strategies during digital transformation to make progress in the achievement of Sustainable Development by 2030?” The compressed collection of themes for the study included the following six major themes: knowledge development; innovation development; motivation; global strategy establishment; leadership; collaboration enhancement; and two minor themes, namely, mindset change and vision creation. Research limitations/implications Due to the few numbers of participants selected for this study (N = 10) may not be generalizable to other settings. The implication of this study is to identify the significant factors contributing to making progress in sustainable development in health-care organizations. The health-care leaders can learn what significant strategies can be helpful to establish future-based organizations toward achieving sustainability. Practical implications The results of this study provided actionable strategies to empower the employees and increase managerial innovation in health-care organizations. Social implications Promoting partnership of health-care organizations with social and global activities such as sustainable development goals that are contributing in 5Ps: People, Prosperity, Peace, Partnership and Planet. Originality/value The main reason for the study was that health-care leaders worldwide could have a novel study that delineates the digital transformation strategies needed for creating impactful outcomes toward achieving sustainable development. Moreover, this unique study provided a useful outlook for health-care leaders to establish future-based health-care organizations while learning the dynamic of digital transformation is the key for health-care organizations to adapt their strategies for a sustainable future.

“…What is observed currently is an inappropriate framework for health policy development and planning, reflecting a biomedical bias, the ‘curse of piecemeal perspectives’ and ‘siloed frameworks’ adopted, 24–26 which preclude planning for sustainable health. Acknowledging the syndemic nature of the pandemic implies the recognition of the need for a more holistic approach, integrating other conceptual frameworks such as ‘one health’ or ‘health in all policies’, and assuming the SDGs agenda in the solutions adopted 12,27–32 …”

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development highlighted the growing attention to the adequacy of health planning models to sustainable development. A re‐reading of the results of a round table debate on “sustainable planning”, which took place at the 5th National Congress of Tropical Medicine (Portugal, 2019) under a participant observation strategy, framed by the findings of a “synthesis of better evidence” literature review and cross–referenced with the reflections of different authors and experts about the momentum created by the COVID–19 pandemic, underlined the challenges to sustainable health planning that have emerged and are projected beyond the current pandemic context. Variable perceptions of the term “sustainable health development”, leading to the potential loss of their relevance in guiding the elaboration of policies and strategic plans, and the potential higher effectiveness of the participatory approaches of health planning in achieving sustainable health were highlighted in the debate and literature, in general and in public health emergency contexts. Those results gained new relevance during the current COVID–19 pandemic, bringing back to the forefront a reflection of the inadequate planning framework that has usually been used to understand and respond to global health challenges, despite the already existing experience, evidence and support instruments.
