We address a breath of controversies and ethical considerations, emphasizing the need for balance between religious beliefs and healthcare practices.

Did somebody say it's the start of Season 3? We took a break, but we have a few things we've been hoping to deliver for you behind the scenes. First of all, make sure to check out BRAND NEW WEBSITE (whipodcast.com), where you can find all our recent news, updates and more.
Now back to the podcast. We kickstart this season as your guides to the world of poverty. We dive deep into the whole poverty puzzle, starting by spilling the beans on a crazy humanitarian mess in Gaza and giving it to you straight: why we all need to shout for peace and humanitarian help. Then we go into the nitty-gritty of global poverty, where the super-rich are hogging the money pile.
Brace yourself for some shocking stats about how poverty messes with stuff like education, health, and everyone's wallets. And guess what? We're not just whining about the problems; we're throwing out real solutions. Tax tweaks, killer education, healthcare for all, and more. We even stir the charity pot, questioning if it's the superhero we all think it is. And speaking of heroes, capitalism's in the hot seat too.

Not another CLIMATE CHANGE episode!!! It is not news that change is happening! Temperatures are rising, we are seeing more and more droughts, wildfires and shifting rainfall patterns. Glaciers and snow are melting and there is a rise in global sea levels. Despite all the climate change campaigns, why are we still seeing a global temperature rise? Did the COVID-19 pandemic help? In this episode we discuss current roadblocks to achieving a 45% global reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030. We highlight feasible implementation strategies to improve collective efforts towards climate change mitigation.
Why are we still seeing a global temperature rise?

Approximately 650,000 people die from direct or indirect drug overdose across the world. Interestingly, there are 2.6 million deaths attributed to alcohol misuse and 8.7 million deaths attributed to smoking globally. The health complications caused by legal substances such as alcohol raises questions around the justification for criminalising recreational drug use or possession. In this episode, we highlight the reasons for and against the legalisation of all recreational drugs, including cocaine, heroin and more. Are governments winning the āwar on drugsā?
NB: Please note we do not condone the use of illegal substance use. This is a productive discussion to encourage public engagement and address substance misuse as a global health threat.
Are recreational drugs worse than alcohol? Is legalisation the best way to address drug use and addiction? Share your thoughts with us at [email protected]

52% of 40 - 70 year old men suffer from varying degrees of sexual diseases, which are caused by a variety of biological and psychological factors.
In this episode, we discuss sexual and reproductive conditions, such as erectile dysfunction, that are most common in people that identify as men. We highlight the implications of encouraging men to take more contraceptive responsibilities. Our aim is to spread awareness around sexual and reproductive health issues in men. To do this, we asked men from different countries to share some advice on what can be done to optimise their sexual health.

According to the WHO, 4.7ā13.2% of maternal deaths can be attributed to unsafe abortion each year and 6 out of 10 of all unintended pregnancies end in an induced abortion. However safe abortion services are still inaccessible in many countries due to several reasons. In this episode, we highlight the implications of legalising abortion services and discuss the role of pro-life feminism in modern day society. We make references to the overturn of the Roe v. Wade policy that conferred the right to have an abortion in the US. Is being pro-life anti-feminist? Share your thoughts with us at [email protected]

To date, it is estimated that in high- and upper-middle-income countries, 81% of the population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. However, in low-income countries, only about 17% of the population has received at least one vaccine dose. Why do we see this gap in vaccination rates? What is being done to address it? In our final episode of the season, we discuss vaccine access and equity and look into the successes and failures of COVAX ā an initiative led by Gavi and other global organisations to provide equitable access to COVID-19 diagnostics, treatments and vaccines to everyone worldwide.

Coronaviruses had been a major concern as infectious agents with pandemic-causing potential, years before the COVID-19 pandemic. Advancements in DNA sequencing mechanisms can help us detect pathogens early and study them appropriately. So why were we still not prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic? In this episode we discuss the challenges of pandemic preparedness and evaluate the response to COVID-19 by key players such as national governments and the World Health Organisation. We also reflect on lessons learned and what could be done differently.

Digital technologies are increasingly being used as health and care interventions worldwide. Many people own wearables such as Apple Watches that track vital health information and mobile health (mHealth) continues to support health care workers in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease. This week, we explore digital technologies and discuss whether they are really the key to tackling our health care challenges. We talk through the different types of digital technologies and identify opportunities for these technologies to revolutionise health care. We also unpack critical considerations such as sustainability and data protection and regulation.

It is estimated that women comprise nearly 70% of the global health and social workforce, yet they only hold about 25% of senior leadership roles. This week, we share our thoughts on why we lack female leadership in healthcare and highlight why gender inequality is a global health issue. We discuss the socioeconomic factors that influence womenās career prospects all around the globe. We also address the gender pay gap and the important role men play in promoting gender equity.
This week's case study: A Kenyan high court judge has declared that being a housewife is a full-time job, and it should therefore attract some form of compensation.
