Cure care and research in English dementia policyshibley
I set out to make current dementia policy in England open to the public. This is the final talk to be given by me, Dr Shibley Rahman, at BPP Law School this evening, on cure, care and research.
A tremendous need exists to engage hard-to-reach populations in HIV/AIDS care. That’s because numerous factors prevent people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA)—especially disadvantaged and disproportionately affected populations—from engaging in care or remaining in care.
This Webcast introduces providers to several successful strategies for reaching the most vulnerable populations:
Howell Strauss, DMD, AIDS Care Group, discusses traditional street outreach, as well as his involvement with both the SPNS Oral Health Initiative and the SPNS Jail Initiative.
Lisa Hightow-Weidman, MD, MPH, Department of Infectious Diseases University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, shares best practices in social marketing outreach in the context of her work as a SPNS Young Men who Have Sex with Men of Color Initiative grantee.
Developing and implementing training materials for integrated community case ...Malaria Consortium
In South Sudan, ICCM – or integrated community case management – is carried out by trained community volunteers called community drug distributors (CDDs) or community based distributors. These operate like community based (volunteer) health workers in other parts of Africa but are known differently as, in South Sudan, a community health worker operates within the Ministry of Health (MoH) structure, receiving around nine months training to provide health services at the PHCC / PHCU levels. This paper shows how best practices for delivering training of Community Drug Distributors (CDDs) in the implementation of integrated community case management (ICCM), that have been shown to be successful in some countries and contexts, needed to be adapted to fit a more complex environment in South Sudan.

These are the slides for the presentation I will give this year at the Alzheimer Europe conference in Ljubljana in Slovenia. It's survey based research on the importance of clinical nursing specialists in dementia.
HIV and AIDS still remains the greatest public health challenge globally (Strauss and Thomas, 2008).
It is undoubtedly a major cause of premature deaths in many parts of the world with the poorest regions being the most affected.
The lack of an imminent cure or vaccine means that more deaths and large disease burden are inevitable (WHO, 2001).
By the end of 2010, approximately 34 million people globally were living with HIV infection.
In the same year, nearly 2.7 million new infections including slightly over 300,000 among children and 1.8 million AIDS related deaths occurred (UNAIDS, 2010).

Kissito Healthcare Presient and CEO, Tom Clarke, met with OB-GYN professionsals from Carillion Hospital on September 30th to discuss Kissito's international child and maternal healthcare operations in Uganda and Ethiopia.
The delivery of these services require adequate and competent health and care workers with optimal skills mix at facility, outreach and community level, and who are equitably distributed, adequately supported and enjoy decent work.UHC strategies enable everyone to access the services that address the most significant causes of disease and death and ensures that the quality of those services is good enough to improve the health of the people who receive them.
Protecting people from the financial consequences of paying for health services out of their own pockets reduces the risk that people will be pushed into poverty because unexpected illness requires them to use up their life savings, sell assets, or borrow – destroying their futures and often those of their children.
Many countries are already making progress towards UHC, although everywhere the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the availability the ability of health systems to provide undisrupted health services. All countries can take actions to move more rapidly towards UHC despite the setbacks of the COVID-19 pandemic, or to maintain the gains they have already made. In countries where health services have traditionally been accessible and affordable, governments are finding it increasingly difficult to respond to the ever-growing health needs of the populations and the increasing costs of health services.
Moving towards UHC requires strengthening health systems in all countries. Robust financing structures are key. When people have to pay most of the cost for health services out of their own pockets, the poor are often unable to obtain many of the services they need, and even the rich may be exposed to financial hardship in the event of severe or long-term illness. Pooling funds from compulsory funding sources (such as government tax revenues) can spread the financial risks of illness across a population.
UHC emphasizes not only what services are covered, but also how they are funded, managed, and delivered. A fundamental shift in service delivery is needed such that services are integrated and focused on the needs of people and communities. This includes reorienting health services to ensure that care is provided in the most appropriate setting, with the right balance between out- and in-patient care and strengthening the coordination of care. Health services, including traditional and complementary medicine services, organized around the comprehensive needs and expectations of people and communities will help empower them to take a more active role in their health and health system.
Global launch: Delivering prevention in an ageing worldILC- UK
It’s never too late to prevent ill health. And the health and economic costs of failing to invest in preventative interventions across the life course are simply too high to ignore.
At this event, we launched two new reports on what works in delivering a preventative approach to health in an ageing world; how we can improve take-up and adherence to preventative interventions; what we have learned from COVID-19; and how policymakers across the world need to act to ensure prevention becomes a priority as countries build back from the damage inflicted by the pandemic.
We were joined by a panel of experts from across the world to discuss the findings and what needs to happen next so we can move from consensus to action on prevention.
Keynote address by Dr. Eric Goosby of UCSF, presented at CFAR HIV Research in International Settings (CHRIS) meeting in San Diego, October 1, 2014. Dr. Goosby discussed. "Global Health Delivery and Diplomacy: The Long Road to Sustainable Programs."
The field of health promotion and education is at a turning point as it steps up to address the interconnected challenges of health, equity and sustainable development. Professionals and policy makers recognize the need for an integrative thinking and practice approach to foster comprehensive and coherent action in each of these complex areas.
