In collaboration with the JBI entity at the University of Adelaide in Australia, we established a German-speaking JBI collaboration entity in 2020, known as the DGHCE. This made us a member of the JBI Collaboration, one of the most important global networks for evidence-based healthcare.
The JBI Centre for Gender Health Care is dedicated to health ethics and evidence-based healthcare.
A particular focus is placed on gender as a health-related issue. Gender-specific health problems remain a social taboo.
In order to find answers, the underlying facts and moral aspects must be summarised and evaluated seriously and reasonably.
The JBI Centre is based at the Chair of Social and Technical Ethics at Helmut Schmidt University/University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg (HSU/UniBwH) in Germany. Its clinical partners are the Medical Centre for People with Gender Variations in Lucerne, Switzerland and the Evidence Advisory Centre in Gaimersheim, Germany. It is a German-Swiss network.
JBI strives to improve health outcomes in communities around the world by promoting and supporting the use of the best available evidence to inform decisions at the point of care.
This work begins and ends with the needs of healthcare workers and users of healthcare services.
JBI provides them with high-quality, reliable, pragmatic and useful information when they need it. This information is based on findings that are relevant and effective for specific population groups.
JBI achieves this by collaborating with universities and hospitals around the world through the JBI Collaboration. This ensures that the research findings we synthesise, transfer and implement are culturally inclusive and relevant to the diversity of the international healthcare system.
JBI promotes and supports the sustainability of improved
health practices and outcomes worldwide by developing and providing a range of unique, evidence-based resources, software, education and training.
‘We see a great opportunity to promote the JBI methodology in German-speaking countries and establish it within the medical community. It is urgent that the JBI methodology becomes part of the agenda of German-speaking healthcare networks.’
Gerhard Schreiber
To this end, we conduct research and communication projects, offer continuing education courses and have formed strong partnerships.
