Public Health Conference (PHC) is one of a kind platform for global stakeholders from academic, professional and governmental realms to gather, network and discuss healthcare, public health and medical science.

These reports demonstrate that Falun Gong has a powerful and beneficial effect on patients with chronic diseases. All patients reported symptoms reduction or disappearance shortly after starting Falun Gong meditation practice. This lifestyle change and following the principles of Zhen-Shan-Ren (or Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in English) help to maintain the treatment effect and long-term health of the patients. Falun Gong is free-of-charge and easy to learn; it is the solution of choice to nurture good behaviors resulting in better health and wellness for the community. Popularizing Falun Gong in the Vietnamese community and the global societies should be one for public health consideration.

A Proposal for Enhancing Public Health and Wellness: Case Reports of Full Recovery from Severe Chronic Diseases by Practicing Falun Gong

This pandemic has affected all of us. But not equally and not equitably. The entire society has been polarized. Many lives have been lost and many more are being threatened not only due to the virus, but due to imposed policies, patients with chronic conditions being denied access to healthcare for their regular treatments, increased suicide rates, violence and greatly affected mental health of the entire population globally. 

We are witnessing that some of the greatest scientists and medical doctors, who were celebrated before the pandemic, are now being silenced, discredited and investigated by authorities – including our guest today. 

We see little transparency around all this, but lots of confusion. In the absence of scientific consensus, it is unclear what people base decisions concerning their health on and how they choose which side to take. 


Role and Responsibilities of Global Stakeholders: The Impact of COVID-19 Response Policies on Public Health Equity and Health Literacy

Currently, urban areas have experienced many challenges related to public health. This challenge will continue to be felt in the future. Taking care of the environment and maintaining health is the main key so that we avoid various kinds of health problems. Residents must take part in the implementation of maintaining their own health and the environment in order to create a healthy society for a more secure future.

Urban Public Health: Future Challenges and Plans

Despite substantial scientific progress over the past two decades, malaria continues to be a worldwide burden. Ever growing resistance towards the currently available antimalarial drugs is a challenge to combat malaria. Medicinal plants are a promising source of new drugs to tackle this problem. Thus, the present study aimed at evaluating the antiplasmodial activity of Terminalia brownii in Plasmodium berghei infected mice. A 4-day suppressive test was employed to evaluate the antimalarial effect of 80% methanol and aqueous bark extracts of T. brownii against P. berghei in Swiss albino mice. The in vivo acute toxicity test indicated that both extracts did not cause mortality. The 4-day test revealed that the 80% methanol and aqueous extracts exhibited significant inhibition of parasitemia compared to negative control. The maximum level of chemo suppression (60.2%) was exhibited at 400 mg/kg dose of 80% methanol extract. Moreover, the 80% methanol extract showed a significant attenuation of anemia associated with infection in a dose-dependent manner. The aqueous extract, on the other hand, exhibited a percent inhibition of 51.1% at the highest dose (400 mg/kg/day). The present study indicated that hydromethanolic and aqueous bark extracts of T. brownii possess a promising antimalarial activity.

Nurses are expected to provide healthcare services in the settings of out-of-hospital facilities, such as evacuation shelters, especially in countries like Japan which are particularly vulnerable to intensifying natural disasters. Thus, it is important for nursing students to learn to conduct management of environmental health and physical health outside the hospital settings. Across subjects, students repeatedly studied basic knowledge about the environment and the body related to healthcare in their second and third years. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects and challenges of repeatedly learning basic healthcare standards across lessons.

Effects and Characteristics of Iterative Learning of Environmental and Physical Assessment Criteria in Nursing College Students' Classes

During adolescence, the proportion of students with orthostatic dysregulation tends to increase. Indefinite complaints arise due to changes in hormonal balance, which makes the child's life uncomfortable. Students need support to improve their health, to lead a fulfilling life. Although previous studies have separately investigated eating and sleeping habits, none have examined the two aspects comprehensively. It is necessary to clarify how students’ dizziness and light-headedness are intricately intertwined with their lifestyles, and to study basic data to support them. Therefore, this study aims to understand the characteristics of students with dizziness and light-headedness, and considers relevant support methods.

In July 2018, an anonymous self-administered questionnaire was given to junior high school students in Prefecture A, Japan (n = 236). A comparison was made between the students’ diet, sleep, and exercise habits, and the participants were divided into two groups: one with students who had dizziness or lightheadedness, and another, those without dizziness. We used the χ2 test and Mann-Whitney U test for statistical analysis. The significance level was set at P < 0.05. The study was approved by the University Ethics Review Board (E-1118).

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often support the local economy and employment in underpopulated mountainous areas. Managers of such enterprises tend to feel mentally taxed that cause mental health problems due to the vulnerability of their financial base. Since they often struggle with the challenges of maintaining an enterprise, they are unable to look after their own health. Thus, it is important for the local government to support the health promotion of managers in SMEs. However, effective methods for the local government to support the mental health of SME managers remains unclear. This study clarified managers’ awareness about their own mental health and proposed methods for local governments to support the mental health of SME managers in underpopulated mountainous areas. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six SME managers in an underpopulated mountainous area. Participants were recruited using snowball sampling, and they were asked about their mental health awareness. A qualitative descriptive analysis was conducted. One category emerged as negative awareness of managers’ mental health and four categories emerged as positive awareness of managers’ mental health. Based on these results, methods for local governments to support the mental health of SME managers in underpopulated mountainous areas was proposed.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global One Health threat that jeopardizes healthcare globally, with projections of more than 10 million lives prematurely lost per year becoming the leading cause of death by 2050. Several factors underlay this dire predicament, including a poorly educated populace and patients regarding best practices for antibiotic stewardship. Specifically, children and parents have inadequate antibiotic knowledge for basic usage. Currently, "parents wanted reassurance and advice regarding children's illnesses," which requires accessible education, such as simple information leaflets. Specifically, antibiotic stewardship regarding antibiotic disposal and the environmental effect of AMR is highly neglected worldwide but critical to address to prevent harm to human and animal health. Currently, past antibiotic stewardship regarding antibiotic disposal has been largely ineffective with a typically top-to-bottom approach, which requires a bottom-to-top approach to increase public awareness and support.

A Case for Early Education Toward Sustainable Antibiotic Stewardship

The present research was designed to evaluate the combined effects of iron fortificants and prebiotics on serum folate levels among iron deficient women of reproductive age.
To serve this purpose, a double blind randomized control study was designed involving n = 75 iron deficient women of reproductive age group. These women were divided into 5 groups, each having 15 subjects. One group was control while other four were treatment groups. They were given varying combinations of iron fortificants and prebiotics on daily basis for 90 days. Iron fortificants included ferrous sulphate and sodium iron EDTA while prebiotics consisted of Inulin and galacto-oligosaccharides. Overnight fasting blood samples were taken from women at baseline, 30th, 60th and 90th days, respectively. Mean square values for serum folate levels showed that there were significant variations for the effect of groups, study intervals as well as the interaction between groups and study intervals (P-value Our current study concluded that iron fortificants and prebiotics when combined, could significantly improve serum folate levels among women of reproductive age. This particular potential of prebiotics could further be exploited to address the global health issue of iron deficiency anemia, effectively.

The contents of the issues involved in children's health are becoming more complex. In many countries, school nurses in charge of multiple schools carry out health maintenance and management of children. In Japan, in a unique system,full-time teachers are assigned to each school. In addition to the diversity of duties, there are issues related to the system.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the job contents and issues in school health by reviewing the literature.
