Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum
Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Founder and Chair, Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute and co-chair, World Health Summit Council
Dr Natasha Azzopardi Muscat, Director, Country Health Policies and Systems Division, World Health Organisation EURO
Dr Marta Lomazzi, Executive Manager, World Federation of Public Health Associations
Dr Shyam Bishen, Head, Centre for Health and Healthcare and Member of the Executive Committee, World Economic Forum
Dr Karin Tegmark Wisell, Director General, Public Health Agency of Sweden
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

This includes tasks like:
Administering vaccinations.
Providing education on nutrition, hygiene, and development.
Offering breastfeeding and childbirth support.
Counseling families on safety and injury prevention.
3. Collaboration and Advocacy:
Objective: Collaborate effectively with doctors, social workers, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated care for children.
Objective: Advocate for the rights and best interests of their patients, especially when children cannot speak for themselves.
This includes tasks like:
Communicating effectively with healthcare teams.
Identifying and addressing potential risks to child welfare.
Educating families about their child's condition and treatment options.
4. Professional Development and Research:

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

12. Role of healthcare in Human
Development
Health is considered an important aspect of
development. It is one of the primary social needs
which every nation has to ensure to its citizen in order
to meet its development goal. Healthy individual can
make a healthy nation. They are more productive than
unhealthy individuals. Therefore, investment in health
can be regarded as an investment in human capital,
which ultimately promotes development.

13. Healthcare delivery system
A system consisting of number of interrelated
components which function as unified whole to
provide desirable, continuous and comprehensive
health care services to people at large in their place of
living without any discrimination and disparity to
achieve the goal of HFA(Health for all).

16. Sustainable Development Goals-
UN 2015
The SDGs were formulated in 2015 by the United Nations
General Assembly (UNGA) as part of the Post-2015
Development Agenda, which sought to create a future
global development framework to succeed the Millennium
Development Goals, which ended that year.
The COVID-19 pandemic had serious negative impacts on
all 17 SDGs in 2020; a scientific assessment released in 2022
determined that the world is not on track to achieve the
SDGs by 2030 and concluded the SDGs have so far had only
limited political effects in global, national and local
governance.

21. SDG and Health
SDGs 1 to 6 directly address health disparities, primarily
in developing countries. These six goals address key
issues in Global Public Health, Poverty, Hunger and
Food security, Health, Education, Gender equality and
women's empowerment, and water and sanitation.
Public health officials can use these goals to set their
own agenda and plan for smaller scale initiatives for
their organizations. These goals are designed to lessen
the burden of disease and inequality faced by developing
countries and lead to a healthier future.

22. Health Indicators
Indicators which are used to assess the health development
of a nation are:
1. Health services indicators-like number of health care
delivery centers and the number of medical and
paramedical staff per center.
2. Mortality Indicators-Maternal Mortality Rates and
Infant Mortality Rates are largely used as indicators of
health development by different nations, and by agencies
involved in assessing and promoting health care.
Morbidity Indicators-The number of people suffering
from various diseases are also used as indicators of health.
Navita Vijay
23. The WHO has devised a new parameter to assess the global burden of
diseases called Disability Adjusted Life Year (DALY). DALY is a time
based measure that combines the year of life lost (YLL) due to
premature mortality and years of life wits disability (YLD) or years of,
life lost due to time lived in states of less than full health.
4. Demographic Indicators-Demographic indicators such as birth rate,
death rate, and life expectancy rate are also used for assessing the health
status of a nation.
Both the birth rates and death rates are high for developing countries
as compared with developed countries. The quantity and quality of
health care services influences birth and death rates.
The propensity to enjoy higher standards of living and good health and
to remain in workforce participation are among many factors
responsible for lower fertility.
Navita Vijay
24. 5. Immunization Indicators-Various immunization
packages used by countries are BCG polio, measles,
and hepatitis. 'There is a direct relationship between
immunization and child survival rate.
6. Nutrition Indicators-Malnutrition is one of the
important causes of mortality and morbidity in
developing countries. Almost all developing countries
are facing this problem and it is more pervasive in
rural areas, among the impoverished sections of
society, and, particularly, among woman and children.
Navita Vijay
25. The most common form of malnutrition is known as
protein calorie malnutrition (PCM).
The percentage of population suffering from
inalnutrition is quite high in South Asia and sub
Saharan Africa as compared to other developed
countries. Rentlinger and Selowsky remarked that in
Asia,, the Middle East and Africa, there were shortfalls
ranging from 135 to 230 calories per day.
Navita Vijay
26. Impact of malnutrition on Human
development
i) malnutrition among the toiling masses reduces their labor
capacity and consequently affects productivity
ii) malnutrition in women results in spontaneous abortion, poor
conception, and even infertility
iii) malnourished women may give birth to low birth weight
babies, infants that weight less than 2.5 kg, ;):la premature
delivery
iv) malnourishment among women sometimes results in still
birth and spontaneous abortion
v) malnourishment among children is one of the causes of infant
and child Mortality
vi) malnourishment leads to loss of memory among school going
children
vii) malnourished children are lethargic compared to normal
children, and are less likely to take part in sports and scout
activities Navita Vijay
27. Role of Health in Economic Development
The role of health in economic development is
analyzed via two channels: the direct labor
productivity effect and the indirect incentive
effect. The labor productivity hypothesis asserts that
individuals who are healthier have higher returns to
labor input.
Navita Vijay
28. The labor productivity hypothesis asserts that
individuals who are healthier have higher returns to
labor input.
The incentive effect is borne of the theoretical
literature, and individuals who are healthier and have
a greater life expectancy will have the incentive to
invest in education as the time horizon over which
returns can be earned is extended.
Education is the driver of economic growth, and thus
health plays an indirect role.
Navita Vijay
30. Accounting for the simultaneous determination of the
key variables .growth, education, fertility .the results
show that the indirect effect of health is positive and
significant. Without recognition of the indirect role of
health the economic benefits of health improvements
are underestimated.
Navita Vijay
31. What is inclusive growth
Inclusive development occurs when average
achievements improve and inequalities in these
achievements fall. By analogy with the income case,
we can define pro- poor development as occurring
when improvements in average attainments are
accompanied by improvements of achievements below
a critical threshold.
Navita Vijay
32. Beyond income and wealth, people’s well-being is
shaped by a range of non-income dimensions such as
their health, educational and employment status.
Improving the human capital of those at the bottom is
fundamental to ensure they access jobs and earn a
livelihood.
