  1. My Georg Forster/AvH Fellowship: A strategic management tool in science & cooperation for real-world problem-solvingProf. Dr. Bassey E. AntiaLanguages & Linguistics, Maiduguri, NigeriaEpidemiology & International Public Health, Bielefeld, Germany • My research • Georg Forster/AvH fellowship in strategic management perspective • A personal, ongoing report card • Conclusion: Other instruments? Georg Forster/AvH plus

  2. Language & communication in health: Sample questions • What can a linguistic analysis of proprietary drug names tell us about the occurrence of preventable adverse drug events (in prescription, dispensing, using) & weaknesses in drug licensing procedures? E.g. ease of substituting Novadex for Novaldex; Virest for. Virex, etc. • What can an analysis of the structure and contents of educational interventions on diarrhoea probably tell us about diarrhoea-related mortality in children under the age of five? 4 million deaths/yr; 100,000/day; 1 fatality/second; Nigeria=300,000/yr. • How does language used in HIV/AIDS discourses exarcebate the psychological burden of living with the virus, and undermine care and control initiatives in areas like: testing, disclosure, accessing of health services, quality and length of life? • How might inattention to language as part of the skillset of health professionals lead to distributional imbalances (staff underutilization in location A, overutilization B), a theoretical worsening of the physician-population ratio, and unsatisfactory care? • What is the relationship between the narrative rationality of Vet. doctors (i.e. their attentiveness to the stories of the client during consultation) and the public health ramifications of an individual animal‘s sickness (herd health, disease reservoir management)?

Conclusion: Fellowship - an instrument serving strategic goals of all stakeholders • High marks for other instruments: Humboldt Colleges, institutional partnerships, re-invitations • George Forster Plus! • A multi-focus course on change management & policy advocacy for fellows while in Germany • GF-supported centres (institutional, national, regional level) for research into high social impact factor themes that reflect the quartet of: population empowerment, interdisciplinarity, human resource development and management/policy-inflection. • For now, though, one big „Thank you“ from my end of the stakeholder spectrum.
