ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems.

AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

State Aid requirements
What is State aid?
Where a public body provides financial support to an organisation
engaged in commercial and economic activity, it is necessary to
consider whether such support constitutes State aid.
State aid applies if:
• Aid is granted by a Member State or through its resources;
• It favours certain undertakings or the production of certain
goods
• It distorts threatens to distort competition ; and
• It affects trade between Member States.
Key questions to consider if a payment will fall within the
state aid regulations:
1. Is the support provided granted by the State?
This includes all public and private bodies controlled by the state to
distribute public funds. For example, Lottery, tax exemptions, grants,
subsidies.
2. Does the support confer a selective advantage to an
undertaking?
A benefit which is granted for free or on favorable (non-commercial)
terms to some selected organisations (but not others), could be state
aid.
Definitions:
Advantage: An advantage can take the form of direct payment of
state resources in the form of grants and subsidies as well as
indirect benefits that affect the public budget such as tax breaks, rate
rebates, low interest loans, sale of public land below market value
and the provision of services for free or at below-market rates.
Selectivity: Support that targets particular businesses, regions or
types of firm e.g. SMEs or particular sectors and not others is
selective.
Organisations - do not have to be profit-making as long as the
activity carried out is one which, in principle, has commercial
competitors. This can include voluntary and non-profit-making public
or public authorities when they are engaged in economic activity.
Charities, universities, research institutions, voluntary entities, social
enterprises and public sector bodies will be considered when they
are engaged in economic activity.

Economic activity: Offering goods or services on a given market
and which could, at least in principle, be carried out by private actors
in order to make profits.
3. Does the support distort or have the potential to distort
competition?
If the funding has the potential to strengthen the position of the
organisation relative to other competitors then this criteria is likely to
be met.
The potential to distort competition does not need to be substantial
or significant, and this criterion can apply to relatively small amounts
of financial support and firms with little market share.
4. Does the support affect trade between Member States?
Commission's interpretation of this is broad - it is sufficient that a
product or service is tradeable between member states, even if the
recipient of support does not itself export to other EU markets. This
test is not met only in very limited circumstances.
If all four questions are met State Aid applies.
Additional information about de minimis aid previously
received
You are being considered for assistance under the De minimis
Regulation (Regulation 1998/2006). This may allow an enterprise
to receive up to €200,000 de minimis aid over any period of three
fiscal years.
To establish whether you are eligible to receive de minimis aid you
must declare the full amount of de minimis aid which you have
already been granted during the previous two fiscal years and the
current fiscal year.
Any assistance you may have received from a public body could
potentially be de minimis aid. This might include assistance
received from central, regional, or devolved governments, as well
as from other agencies or local councils.
You should have received a letter informing you if you were given
assistance under the de minimis regulation. If you are unsure as to
whether or not any public assistance you have received is de
minimis aid, please contact the granting body to clarify.
