Barbara Starfield (2010)

Barbara Starfield (Brooklyn, N.Y. 1932 - California 10 June 2011) Paediatrician, MPH. Advocate for Primary Health Care worldwide. Her academic and professional life was almost fully dedicated to the Johns Hopkins University.

Biography

Barbara Starfield studied Medicine between 1954 and 1959 at the State University of New York, and graduated magna cum laude. She specialized in Paediatrics between 1959 and 1962 at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. She obtained her Masters in Public Health in 1963 at the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health.

She was in charge, since 1994, of the Department of Health Policy and Management of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in Baltimore, United States of America.[1]

She is considered one of the most important researchers in the field of Primary Health Care, and an international reference not only because of her academic doctrine but also because of her countless publications. Her books have been translated in several languages. She was a member of many scientific societies, and an adviser for many official healthcare institutions around the world. She was a member of the editorial board and a reviewer for a great number of internationally renowned medical journals.[2][3][4][5]

She has been instrumental in leading projects to develop important methodological tools, including the Primary Care Assessment Tool, the CHIP tools (to assess adolescent and child health status), and the Johns Hopkins Adjusted Clinical Groups (ACGs) for assessment of diagnosed morbidity burdens reflecting degrees of co-morbidity.[6]

She was the co-founder and first president of the International Society for Equity in Health, a scientific organization devoted to the dissemination of knowledge about the determinants of inequity in health and finding ways to eliminate them. Her work thus focuses on quality of care, health status assessment, primary care evaluation, and equity in health.[7]

She leaves behind her husband, Dr. Neil Holtzman, four children and eight grandchildren.[8]
