The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF) is pleased to announce the first Certificate peer learning programme on ageing and society.

Join a new kind of global dialogue between health professionals from high- and low-income countries.

In Goma, only 3.2 percent of older people can afford a public clinic.

In Berlin, nearly half of older people receiving care still risk poverty.

Different countries, different demographics, one shared crisis.

When the formal system falls short, someone fills the gap.

That someone is almost always a woman.

She is often in midlife, sometimes navigating menopause herself.

She provides daily care, often with no recognition and no pay.

She is the invisible foundation of every health system on earth.

If you work for health, you can make a difference.

Dear Scholars of The Geneva Learning Foundation,

For those among our global community of Scholars who celebrate the end of the holy month of Ramadan, we would like to extend our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones.

We also want to commend you on your commitment to learning and development which is a noble pursuit, and one that is greatly valued in Islam. As a global community that celebrates diverse beliefs and cultures, we work in unity in the pursuit of knowledge and understanding to make a better world.

Eid Mubarak to you and your families!

The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF), in collaboration with Dr Shanthi Mendis, is pleased to announce the first Certificate peer learning programme for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).

Read the full announcement: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/new-peer-learning-course-what-you-can-do-support-gcxwf/

The first primer course is for everyone who works for health and wants to better support living with NCDs during a humanitarian emergency.

In a crisis, most responders plan for trauma and infections.

NCDs are rarely part of that plan.

Yet 74% of all deaths worldwide come from noncommunicable diseases.

A person with Type 1 diabetes can die in days without insulin.

In 2024, conflicts doubled across 50 countries.

Nearly 300 million people needed humanitarian help.

When the pharmacy is destroyed, who helps the patient with asthma?

Most health workers have never been trained for that moment.

Dr. Shanthi Mendis changed that.

She led the development of WHO PEN and PEN-H over two decades.

Now, she has partnered with The Geneva Learning Foundation to design a free, open-access primer.

It covers eight critical NCD emergencies and a simple triage method.

It is text only, works on any device, and respects your bandwidth.

You do not need to be an NCD expert to save a life.

But you do need to know what to look for.

The primer also connects you with peers from around the world.

That network is what no guideline document can give you.

Dear Scholars of the Geneva Learning Foundation,

As Christians celebrate the joyous occasion of Easter and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we extend our warmest wishes to all our learners and alumni who observe this special time. May the hope and renewal that comes with this season inspire you to greater heights of faith and love.

We appreciate and celebrate the diverse beliefs and cultures that enrich our global community, and we stand united in our pursuit of knowledge and understanding. As we gather with our families and loved ones, let us reflect on the beauty of life and the power of faith. May this Easter bring you peace, joy, and the assurance of God’s love.

Happy Easter!

New peer learning course! One Health: Connecting people, animals, and the environment

Animals are dying in a village.

Children are falling sick from the same contaminated water.

The veterinary worker documents one.

The nurse documents the other.

They have never met.

The connection is invisible to the system.

Both workers can see it.

75% of new infectious diseases in humans originate in animals.

Climate change is pushing disease vectors into regions that have never seen them.

But the systems built to respond still operate in separate silos.

We just launched a new primer: One Health: Connecting people, animals, and the environment.

It is free, text-based, and works on any phone.

You read short texts about why systems stay disconnected.

Then you examine your own setting and exchange with a peer in another country.

After completing our climate and health course, a health worker in Nepal wrote: "This transformed me from an implementer into a change agent."

Do not enroll alone.

Think of one colleague who faces similar challenges and invite them.

The course works best when you take it together.
