Natural childbirth and rooming-in; artificial insemination and in vitro fertilisation; sterilisation and abortion: women's health and reproduction went through a revolution in the twentieth century as scientific advances confronted ethical and political dilemmas. In New Zealand, the major site for this revolution was National Women's Hospital. Established in Auckland in 1946, with a purpose-built building that opened in 1964, National Women's was the home of medical breakthroughs by Sir William (Bill) Liley and Sir Graham (Mont) Liggins; of the Lawson quintuplets and the ?glamorous gynaecologi

Für beruflichen Erfolg in Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Politik sowie für ein Leben in unserer durch Migration nachhaltig geprägten Gesellschaft sind internationale und interkulturelle Kompetenzen von zentraler Bedeutung. Da nur ca. 30 % der deutschen Studierenden ein Auslandssemester absolvieren und so diese Kompetenzen erwerben bzw. vertiefen, stehen deutsche Hochschulen vor der Herausforderung, auch vor Ort ein entsprechendes Angebot sicherzustellen. Bestrebungen zur universitätsweiten und strategisch ausgerichteten Internationalisierung der Curricula, d.h. zur Integration einer internationalen und interkulturellen Dimension sowie einer globalen Perspektive in die Inhalte aller Curricula, die Lernziele, Lehr- und Lernprozesse und die Betreuungsstrukturen (Leask 2015:149) sind im deutschen Hochschulraum bisher allerdings kaum erkennbar.In einem bundesweit einzigartigen Projekt, das durch das Niedersächsische Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kultur gefördert wird, betreibt die Georg-August-Universität Göttingen eine strategisch ausgerichtete, systematische Internationalisierung der Curricula aller Studienprogramme in ihren Fakultäten. Dabei wird eine enge inhaltliche Verzahnung der Themenfelder Digitalisierung und Diversifizierung mit der Internationalisierung angestrebt.Ausgehend von Überlegungen zur Notwendigkeit der Internationalisierung der Curricula skizziert der Artikel grundsätzliche theoretische und methodische Überlegungen in Bezug auf die Konzeption des Projekts sowie die Gestaltung des Internationalisierungsprozesses. ; International and intercultural competencies are of great significance for professional success in academia, business, and politics as well as for a life in a society like ours, where migration has had a lasting impact. Only approx. 30 % of the German students spend a semester abroad to acquire and deepen their competencies in this area; German higher education institutions thus face the challenge of ensuring that students may also deepen their international knowledge and expand on their intercultural competencies "at home". However, university-wide and strategic efforts to internationalize the curricula – i.e. introduce an inter-national and intercultural dimension as well as a global perspective into the content of the curricula, the learning outcomes, the learning and teaching processes, and the support ser-vices (Leask 2015:149) – are thus far hardly visible in German higher education.The pilot scheme "Internationalization of the Curricula" at the University of Goettingen, funded by the Lower Saxony Ministry for Science and Culture, is unique in Germany and aims at facilitating the strategic and systematic internationalization of the curricula of all the University's study programs. It links internationalization measures to digitalization and diversity.On the basis of reflections on the necessity for the internationalization of the curricula, this article sketches fundamental theoretical and methodological considerations with regard to the conception of the project and the design of the internationalization process.

The University of Hawai'i (UH) has been collaborating with Okinawa Prefectural Chubu Hospital for over 46 years. This collaboration started as a post-World War II effort to increase the physician workforce. At the initiation of the US Army and State Department, the University of Hawai'i was recruited, in cooperation with the government of the Ryukyus and USCAR, to initiate a US style postgraduate clinical training program. The Postgraduate Medical Training Program of University of Hawai'i at Okinawa Chubu Hospital introduced a style of training similar to that in the US by offering a rotating internship. The initial contract had UH establish and run the Postgraduate Medical Training Program of University of Hawaii at Okinawa Central Hospital. After Okinawa's reversion to Japan, under a new contract, UH physicians participated as consultants by providing lectures at "grand rounds" and guidance to faculty, staff, and students. To date, 895 physicians have completed the University of Hawai'i Postgraduate Medical Training Program with 74 currently training. Approximately 662 (74%) of the trainees have remained in Okinawa Prefecture to practice medicine. As a result, the program has enhanced the physician workforce for the islands of Okinawa and neighbor archipelagos of Miyako and Yaeyama Islands.

Тази публикация представя възникването и развитието на модерните болници и болнични аптеки към тях по българските земи в епохата на Възраждането, в които пациентите се обслужват от лица със специално медицинско образование и са организирани по западен образец. Според начина на финансирането им са обособени в няколко групи: държавни, дарителски и частни. ; Summary. This publication presents the beginning and development of modern hospitals and hospital pharmacies in the Bulgarian lands in the Renaissance, in which patients are served by individuals with special medical education and they are organized on the western model. According to their financing sources hospitals are divided into several groups: government, charitable and private.

Durban's McCord Hospital, this book argues, is one of the most important hospitals of the twentieth century. Founded 'for the Zulu' in 1909 by American Christian missionaries, Dr James B. McCord and Margaret Mellen McCord, for more than a century it was a centre of affordable health care for the under privileged of many faiths, cultures and political persuasions. It also pioneered the training of black nurses, midwives and doctors and was supported by prominent figures such as John L. Dube and Chief Albert Luthuli. It initially faced, however, strong opposition from white factions in Durban and, by the 1960s was directly targeted for closure by South African Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd himself. McCords survived in part because apartheid forces did not understand that for several generations and for many communities, it had come to be a 'people's hospital'. This identity would help carry it through to the early twenty-first century with the conviction and courage, when necessary, to stand up against the State when its policies threatened the health of all South Africa's people. This is a history of the religious, health, medical and political contexts of Natal and South Africa from the late 1800s to the 1970s. There are many stories of important firsts and milestones, but what emerges is more than simply a straightforward tale of heroism and triumph. Instead, we tell multiple stories of struggles, successes, failures, frustrations, sacrifices, and how, on occasion, difficult choices and compromises had to be made

Captain Coram's Foundling Hospital was opened in London in 1741 for 'the maintenance and education of exposed and deserted young children'. Hogarth was a governor of the hospital - he donated several pictures, including his portrait of Coram - as was Handel, whose famous performances of his oratorio Messiah were given there from 1750 to raise funds. John Brownlow (1800–73), himself a foundling, became secretary of the hospital from 1849 until his retirement. He introduced improvements to the children's education and was a staunch defender of the hospital, refuting criticisms often levelled in the nineteenth century that taking in illegitimate children simply encouraged neglect. This brief account, building on his 1847 Memoranda, or, Chronicles of the Foundling Hospital (also reissued in this series), covers Coram, early supporters, the institution's paintings - which formed the first public art gallery in London - and the care of the foundlings
