🌍 Following LMU Global Health Day 2026 (Global Health for Sustainability), LMU Munich published an interview with Dr. Günter Fröschl, Board Member of the Center for International Health.

He highlights why health should be understood as more than the absence of disease — shaped by social, environmental, and global factors — and why we must view health as a global commons requiring shared responsibility and collaboration.

In December 2025, Dr. Haja Sovula from Ola During Children’s Hospital joined us at Dr. von Hauner Children’s Hospital for an intensive ultrasound training — the first course of its kind at our institution, funded by Haunerverein. 🌍✨
Through hands-on bedside teaching 🏥, case discussions 💬, and close supervision, she strengthened her diagnostic ultrasound skills — tools that make a real difference, especially in resource-limited settings.
Dr. Sovula will now apply this expertise in her neonatology training 👶 and research on neonatal intracranial hemorrhage, using cranial ultrasound to improve diagnosis and care.
With ongoing telemedical follow-up 💻 and mentorship 🤝, this collaboration goes beyond a single course — supporting sustainable capacity building in pediatric healthcare in Sierra Leone. 💙
