"Looking Ahead" Post-Ebola Strategy in West Africa is the first in a series of planned webinars, where we invite knowledgeable individuals and participants to join the post-Ebola strategy in West Africa discussion.
During the webinars, experts from different backgrounds, will outline their view on the Ebola Crisis and most importantly, share their vision on what needs to be done now, and post-Ebola, to ensure aversion of further political and economic disturbances.
The fast spread of the Ebola virus has major consequences on the African countries it has hit the hardest: Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.
Besides the death tolls and associate losses, the countries are also facing great danger because of the economic consequences the virus carries.
Sierra Leone and Liberia, two of the most hit countries, have both recently come out of more than a decade of gruesome civil wars and the set back of the disease does not help with the stabilization of the economies. Their democracies are fragile and the deprivation from the Ebola crisis could be a trigger for political disruption.
The youth played a major role in those conflicts as a result of economic and social marginalization. Without a post-Ebola strategy to ensure the youth a future of economic and social stability, there may be unforeseeable instabilities.
ABOUT THE ORGANIZER:
Twenty-First Century African Youth Movement, (AYM) empowers and mobilizes Africa’s youth through employment. The AYM is dedicated to developing new and exciting enterprise opportunities for young people in Sierra Leone, to help provide young people with the confidence, power and skills they need to get themselves into employment and out of poverty.
Mobilizing Africa’s unemployed and underemployed youth is the key to the continent’s economic growth and stability. AYM works to mobilize marginalized youth through education, training, and employment, creating entrepreneurial opportunities to help move communities away from poverty, disease, and hunger. AYM aims to establish personal empowerment and community resilience by energizing the continent’s youth population, its most critical resource in the reversal of social and economic stagnation.

The National Rural Health Mission aims to provide universal access to equitable, affordable, and quality healthcare in rural India. It was launched in 2005 to correct inequities in health systems and increase spending on healthcare. Key strategies include strengthening primary healthcare through community health workers called ASHAs, improving infrastructure like primary health centers and community health centers, implementing district-level health plans, and increasing involvement of local governments. The mission seeks to reduce mortality rates and expand access to services while integrating traditional medicine. It is monitored through strengthened health information systems and evaluations.
This document outlines the RMNCH+A framework in India, which aims to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health through an integrated approach. It discusses the problem statement, goals and targets, strategic interventions across the lifecycle from adolescence to reproductive years. These include adolescent health services, antenatal care, skilled birth attendance, essential newborn care, immunization, and family planning. The framework also covers health system strengthening, program management, priority actions in vulnerable areas, and partnerships to support RMNCH+A service delivery in India.
The document summarizes Kenya's health care system structure and organization. It begins with background on health issues in Kenya like malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS. It then defines a health system and describes Kenya's system. Kenya's system is structured in a step-wise manner from dispensaries up to national referral hospitals. It is organized across several administrative levels from community to county to national. The roles of the Ministry of Health and other actors in service delivery are also outlined. With devolution in 2010, county governments now manage health care delivery while the national government focuses on policy and national facilities.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features

2. • Health and Social Care have grown organically over the last 6
decades in Europe, separate and fragmented
• Health has focused on acute/reactive care infrastructure
• However, 70%-80% of today´s demand for healthcare comes from
chronic diseases – prevention/contention are the priorities
• People with chronic diseases are typically >65, and at home
• BUT Health Systems consolidating – data/EHR/e-prescriptions
3. Specialized programs: Caregiver support, active
aging, telemonitoring and technology adapted

8. Demand Aggregation Health and Social Care
• Health services are seeking a communications infrastructure, offering monitoring and advice options
as appropriate, to reach out to chronic disease patients at home
• Osakidetza (Basque Health Service) took over 4 regional Telecare systems (30k) from municipality social care
departments in 2011, and combined them into a single service covering the whole Basque Country (2.2M pop)
• They added Telehealth monitoring services for specific chronic conditions,
exchanging data with and providing services from the health system
• Elderly + multi-chronic disease patient increasing
demographic phenomenon
9. Demand Aggregation Health and Social Care
• Andalusia (8.5M pop) linked primary and emergency health services to the regional Telecare platform in 201
1.
• Telecare is used for emergency health calls, primary care advice, and doctor appointment bookings, while
Telecare outbound calls remind users of appointments, greatly increasing attendance and therefore system
efficiency. Voice and data exchange between health and social care.
