Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!

Welcome to the June edition of GI-Mail.

The June edition of GI-Mail places global solidarity, public health resilience, and scientific progress at the center of international healthcare discourse.

This month’s featured programmes reflect the broad spectrum of contemporary global health challenges from women’s health and human rights to genomic medicine, tropical infectious diseases, and leadership in complex healthcare systems. Courses offered by Stanford University, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Minnesota underline the importance of interdisciplinary knowledge and international collaboration in advancing equitable healthcare worldwide. 

On the congress stage, the International Conference on Public Health in Bali and the ESC Congress 2026 in Munich highlight how innovation, research, and artificial intelligence are shaping the future of cardiovascular medicine and health systems globally.
 
Our Special Topic of the Month, World Blood Donor Day 2026, reminds us that beyond technology and policy, healthcare ultimately depends on human commitment. “One Drop of Humanity” captures the essential spirit of solidarity that underpins every resilient health system. 

In »medicine & health«, we examine emerging infectious threats, breakthroughs in pancreatic cancer research, developments in cardiac regeneration, and the geopolitical pressures affecting pharmaceutical supply chains. 

We invite you to explore this edition as a global overview of education, research, careers, and the shared responsibility of safeguarding health across borders.

We hope you enjoy reading GI-Mail 06/2026.

Best regards,
Dr. Gerhard Polak and the Going International Team
