Micro-collaborations provide a low-risk approach to international education by establishing small-scale, person-to-person partnerships tailored to local needs. They focus on building relationships between individuals to develop local solutions using international expertise. A successful example is a partnership between the University of Liverpool and institutions in Pakistan that has established medical education certificate and master's programs benefiting over 1,000 healthcare professionals through relatively low investment and local ownership. Micro-collaborations can be adapted easily, have quick benefits, and provide a sustainable way forward for international education.

The document discusses changes to the structure and priorities of AFAO for 2016/17. Due to funding changes, AFAO's international program will expand while its domestic program shrinks. Some staff will leave and the organization will restructure accordingly. Key priorities will include leadership and communications, advocacy, coordination, policy, capacity building, and international work. The organization will need to work smarter with its reduced capacity by collaborating with other community organizations.
Bringing global healthcare to a higher level 4 without logo simon kucherHarm Wouter Snippe
The WHF is a global healthcare forum that brings together leaders to discuss issues, identify needs, and promote better and more sustainable healthcare worldwide. It focuses on four key areas: fostering innovation through new technologies; improving care in developing countries; increasing quality of life for those with chronic diseases; and pushing for value-based healthcare. The WHF ecosystem consists of nine stakeholder segments - including hospitals, life science companies, governments, and patients - across four levels of country development. Each segment faces its own topics and challenges, such as costs, access, quality and prevention, which sometimes overlap.
The document outlines a four-phase activity to develop culturally appropriate online health resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities as well as several CALD populations in Australia. The activity will be overseen by ASHM and involves auditing existing resources, consulting with communities, developing new resources, distributing and promoting them, and evaluating their uptake. Key steps include establishing advisory committees, reviewing current resources, holding workshops to prioritize new materials, subcontracting organizations to create resources, and measuring the impact through surveys and web analytics. The goal is to prevent blood-borne viruses and sexually transmitted infections among these at-risk communities through improved health education.

The document summarizes efforts to strengthen the regional health care safety net across 7 counties in northern Illinois. A initiative began in 2006 to address problems in the safety net through policy analysis and comprehensive solutions. Key priorities identified through a regional summit in 2009 included developing a regional data sharing program, referral network, new financing schemes for the safety net, and ensuring comprehensive services. Next steps involved developing recommendations and seeking funding and leadership to implement an "enabling mechanism" to support the regional safety net.
The document outlines the potential benefits and challenges of integrating sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and HIV/AIDS services in Malawi. Some key benefits include improved access to services, reduced stigma, and more efficient use of limited resources. Challenges include initially overburdening existing services, increased costs and workload, and ensuring services reach vulnerable rural communities. Critical considerations include determining which specific service combinations are feasible and acceptable while maintaining quality of care.

The proposed federal budget would significantly cut funding to major public health agencies and programs like the CDC, NIH, Medicaid, and EPA. The CDC budget would be cut by 17% which a former CDC director said would force them to fight epidemics and health threats with both hands tied behind their back while wearing a blindfold. The budget also cuts Medicaid by $800 billion over 10 years which could impact access to care. Several state marketplaces also proposed substantial premium increases for plans purchased under the Affordable Care Act.

HealthCursor Consulting Group India- Distribution and Marketing- Mobile network operators in Africa have identified the growing demand for financial services and micro insurance . Airtel Africa has partnered with MicroEnsure for Mobile Micro Insurance. The range of Airtel-branded insurance products includes life, accident, health, agriculture, and other forms of cover.
Connecting intermediaries, customers and surveyors- ICICI Lombard India's mobile initiative started simply enough, with a set of basic applications that gave customers a consolidated view of all their policies, a reminder service to renew a policy, and a way to track the status of a claim. But as they matured with the mobile platform, they re-visited the paradigm and devised new ways to provide customers with more value-added and user-friendly features. This is however restricted to Auto insurance only.
Encryption, Transactions and handling customer grievance- Public sector general insurance company United India Insurance launched a mobile-based real-time fund transfer facility for payment of premium. M-Power enables customers to renew their policies and also remit the premium for approved proposals. To use this facility, one has to get an MMID (an identification number called - mobile money identifier) from his/her bank and enable one’s mobile with the application given by the bank. However, there are only 10 banks on board with this platform. This initiative follows the launch of its Internet-based sales, customer grievance portal and information-cum-sales kiosks.
Sales, awareness and providing access- Bima, a young Swedish microinsurance company, is using mobile phones to sell as many as three billion new insurance policies to the global poor. Bima, that has begun to access this untapped market, is now one of the largest mobile insurance platforms in the world. In just three years, Bima has acquired 4 million clients in Africa and Asia and is adding 400,000 new subscribers per month. Bima has been tackling many of the obstacles—education, pricing, premium collection—that prevent poor people from obtaining such benefits. For instance, Bima products such as life, accident and health insurance cost "as little as $0.20 to $6.00 a month. Last month, Leapfrog invested $4.25 million in Bima, which will allow the company to expand even further within Africa and Asia as well as reach into new markets in Latin America.

Making the right to health a reality to Indigenous People in Brazil IDS
The document summarizes Brazil's efforts to provide universal healthcare coverage, particularly for indigenous peoples, through its public health system (SUS). It discusses how the SUS expanded coverage from 1.1 million people in 1994 to 96.1 million in 2009, and reduced infant mortality rates from 47.1 to 19.3 per 1000 births from 1990 to 2007. It also notes indigenous peoples still face health inequities, with infant mortality rates of 22.9 for whites, 34.9 for blacks, and 51.14 for indigenous peoples. The document outlines Brazil's creation of an Indigenous Health Subsystem in 1999 to decentralize services and improve quality and access for indigenous communities, but notes challenges remain around uneven health gains and centralization.

Pathways to scaling up health services Peters and PainaIDS
This document discusses scaling up health services in complex adaptive systems. It argues that health systems behave like complex adaptive systems, characterized by heterogeneous actors that interact in dynamic and unpredictable ways. Scaling up is therefore not a linear or controlled process. The document outlines several concepts from complexity science that are relevant to scaling up, such as feedback loops, emergent behavior, tipping points, and path dependence. It suggests using theories and methods from complexity science to better understand scaling up and facilitate decision making. Key lessons are that scaling up requires flexibility, recognizing local conditions, and developing sustainable institutions over the long term through learning-based approaches.
The document summarizes a program in Northern Nigeria aimed at improving health outcomes through strengthening governance and service delivery. It discusses the political and historical context, outlines the program's goals and theories of change, describes early successes like establishing an integrated local health system board, and concludes that achieving health system reform requires addressing both technical and political factors through multifaceted engagement strategies tailored to the local context.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
