The project will generate standardized tools, conduct a pilot study, and refine the tools for ongoing rare disease assessment and monitoring across Europe.
Primary Health Care. A key concern in a changing socio-economic environment.Evangelos Fragkoulis
I. The document discusses the importance of primary health care (PHC) in improving population health outcomes, ensuring the sustainability of health systems, and achieving universal health coverage and sustainable development goals.
II. It notes that countries with strong, quality primary health care systems see better health outcomes relative to their level of economic development. Integrating PHC into health systems also improves health equity, coverage, cost-effectiveness, and patient experience.
III. The document calls for a reorientation of health systems away from an overemphasis on specialty and hospital care, and toward people-centered primary care delivered through multidisciplinary teams.
Genomic sequencing will soon be as routine as a blood test, allowing people to learn more about their genetic identity and how it relates to health conditions and treatment. However, without proper ethical guidelines, profit-driven research may not prioritize diseases that affect the most people. To address this, the public needs to be actively involved in all stages of genomics research to help shape priorities. One proposal is a "Wiki-genome" platform where people can voluntarily upload and share their genome data to help researchers, while also participating in discussions to guide future research. However, ensuring public participation will require addressing issues around privacy, informed consent, and who pays for sequencing.

This document discusses integrated methodologies for workforce management including Six Sigma and ISO standards. It describes using predetermined schedules and timeslot bidding to manage workloads. Implementing workforce management reduces supervision needs, increases productive time by 20%, and empowers employees. Benefits include motivation, shared leadership, and minimizing wasted money and resources. The stages of integration include defining goals, specification, implementation, follow-up and evaluation. Workforce management integrates with HR, development, and performance and allows scheduling on mobile devices globally. Outcomes include increased production, understanding, satisfaction and involvement.
The document discusses the concept of primary health care (PHC). It defines PHC as essential care based on scientifically sound and socially acceptable methods that is universally accessible to communities through their participation and at a cost they can afford. The key elements of PHC include education on health problems, nutrition, water and sanitation, maternal and child health services, immunizations, treatment of common diseases and injuries, and essential drugs. Factors that contributed to the development of PHC in Tanzania include policies of self-reliance and rural development as well as diseases being largely preventable. The document outlines indicators for evaluating PHC programs and provides the current status of some PHC indicators in Tanzania based on DHS data from 2010.
Here are a few key points about the importance of strategy implementation:
- Strategy implementation has a substantial impact on organizational performance. It is crucial to organizational effectiveness and critical to an organization's functioning.
- Successful strategy implementation gives an organization a significant competitive edge, especially in industries where unique strategies are difficult to achieve.
- Strategy implementation is even more important in turbulent environments. The ability to implement new strategies quickly and effectively may mean the difference between success and failure for an organization operating in dynamic or turbulent conditions.
- Well-formulated strategies only produce superior performance when they are successfully implemented. The best-made strategies are worthless if they cannot be implemented successfully.
- Strategy implementation is a key concern in managing strategic change
This presentation of my PhD thesis presents the Strategy Execution Framework consisting of 18 success factors related to the process, content and context of the implementation effort. Collectively, these factors help organizations develop and implement their strategies to achieve sustainable organizational success.

Finally, it provides an overview of reforms needed to refocus health systems on primary health care and achieving health for all.
This document provides guidance on developing a strong research title and statement of the problem. It notes that a good title should be specific, express the scale of research, tell the subject nature, be clear and definite, and catch readers' attention. The statement of problem should answer who has the problem, what the problem is, its scope and limitations. It then provides examples of interesting titles and outlines steps to construct a statement of problem, including introducing the main problem, creating logical subsidiary questions, and ensuring questions elicit new knowledge to address the problem.
The document proposes the establishment of three centers: 1) an Aquatic Research and Experimental Breeding Center in Nueva Ecija to study inland fish varieties, improve harvests, and contribute to food security; 2) a Stem Cell Research and Storage Center to study and preserve stem cells; and 3) a Central Luzon Drug Abuse and Alcoholism Rehabilitation Center to treat persons with severe addiction. The centers are envisioned to benefit their respective regions through research, treatment, and economic growth.
This document provides tips for successfully defending a thesis. It outlines steps to take before, during, and after the defense. Key points include:
- Prepare thoroughly by scheduling the defense, distributing your thesis to panelists in advance, and practicing your presentation. Consider possible questions.
- On the day of the defense, dress professionally, be confident but not arrogant in your delivery, and limit your presentation to 45 minutes.
- During the defense, justify your methodology and study decisions, demonstrate full knowledge of the topic, and cite experts to support your views. Record panelist feedback.
- After the defense, thank your panelists, incorporate their feedback into your thesis, and meet deadlines for final submission
This document provides tips for writing a thesis. It discusses starting the writing process early by choosing a title and outline. The outline should summarize the argument in one sentence for each chapter. Material should be collected in a binder as it is researched. Examiners will want to understand the thesis quickly, so the abstract, conclusions, and contents should clearly convey the purpose and findings. Getting feedback from others helps improve the thesis before examination. Regularly interacting with potential examiners also helps them understand and appreciate the research.
The document discusses the importance of conversations in developing relationships. It notes that while some advocate "selling the sizzle not the steak", engaging in meaningful conversations where common ground is found is better. The results of interviews with people on their dating experiences and favorite companies suggest that conversations matter because that's how relationships are formed. People are more inclined to connect with companies or products that fit their personality or lifestyle.

5. An outline of what information belongs in each chapter, for instance the significance of the study for the introduction chapter.
This study demonstrated a novel natural transformation mechanism in Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (A.a.) that is independent of uptake signal sequences and the Tfox gene. The study showed that A.a. could be transformed with genomic and plasmid DNA present in microvesicles secreted into the growth medium of donor cells. This transformation occurred both in the presence and absence of components normally required for natural transformation in A.a. The results suggest outer membrane adhesion and fusion of donor microvesicles with recipient cells allows DNA delivery and homologous recombination. This novel mechanism could provide an easier method for genetically transforming A.a. compared to conventional techniques.
This document outlines the typical structure and sections of a thesis or dissertation. It discusses the key parts including preliminaries, text/body, and references.

Each section is then described in more detail, outlining what they should contain such as the problem statement, objectives, data collection procedures, analysis methods, and more. Sample paragraphs and examples are provided for many of the sections.
1) E-health provides opportunities to address challenges from changing demographics like chronic disease management and multiple morbidities, but faces challenges from incongruent policies, one-size-fits-all technologies, and treatment burden.
2) Rapidly developing technologies and increasing technology use provide opportunities if developed with user perspectives, but a biomedical focus risks widening inequalities.
3) Successful e-health requires normalizing services, engaging professionals, learning from experiences, and addressing research funding and evidence quality issues.
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.
This document discusses the potential for a global, goal-based initiative to improve women's health in low and middle income countries. It notes that women face many health risks throughout their lives from diseases like cancer, diabetes and childbirth complications. The "diagonal approach" is proposed to tackle multiple diseases and strengthen health systems by focusing on areas like prevention, reducing stigma, and improving access to care. Country examples show how integrating cancer services into health programs can expand coverage. Lessons highlight how advocacy combined with evidence can drive action, and how a global initiative could contribute to setting shared goals, measuring progress, and gaining knowledge to benefit all women. Challenges of funding, scope, and setting achievable yet meaningful interim goals are also discussed
Periodontal health through public health approachesUKM
This document summarizes a lecture on approaching periodontal health through public health strategies. The lecturer discusses whether periodontal disease should be considered a public health problem based on criteria like burden on society and distribution. Data is presented showing the global prevalence and burden of periodontal disease. The determinants of periodontal health are complex and include both modifiable risk factors and broader socioeconomic factors. The current approach of treating periodontal disease individually is noted as ineffective at a population level. Small upstream preventive strategies integrating medical and dental care are proposed to potentially make a significant impact on periodontal health outcomes. The lecturer concludes by questioning if the tipping point has been reached to implement new public health approaches.
This document summarizes the key points from an inaugural conference on engaging ageing. It discusses maintaining functional ability and intrinsic capacity across the lifespan. This includes supporting behaviors that enhance capacity, ensuring dignified aging, and aligning health systems to meet the needs of older populations. The goals are to foster healthy aging in all countries by creating age-friendly environments, developing long-term care systems, and improving understanding of aging trajectories and needs.
- The document discusses ensuring community care is provided in close collaboration with citizens and communities. It emphasizes the importance of patient empowerment, health literacy, digital health, patient involvement, and inclusiveness.
- Patient empowerment in community settings requires a shift towards seeing patients as equal partners in their care. This involves improving health literacy, self-management support, and shared decision-making between patients and healthcare professionals.
- Digital technologies can help facilitate chronic disease management and patient-centered care if designed and implemented in a way that strengthens patient empowerment and health literacy. Meaningful patient involvement in healthcare, research, and policy is also critical.

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.

This document discusses the economic burden of diabetes in India. It notes that diabetes leads to a 17 times higher risk of blindness, over 50% of dialysis patients and amputations are due to diabetes, and diabetes is associated with a 4 times higher risk of hypertension. The costs of managing diabetes are high due to factors like delayed diagnosis, complications from the disease, and costs of drugs, hospitalizations, and surgeries. The costs are expected to rise significantly in the future. Currently, about two-thirds of healthcare spending in India is out-of-pocket. The document discusses the need for health insurance and social health insurance models to help address the rising economic burden of diabetes.

Similar to Rt 1 The different dimensions of universal coverage and access to care (20)
This document discusses integrating occupational health services into primary health care. It argues that while some countries have made progress expanding occupational health services, coverage remains low globally. Most workers, especially in informal sectors and small businesses, lack access to even basic services. The document calls for strengthening primary health care systems based on the principles of the 1978 Alma Ata Declaration, including providing universal access to essential health interventions and services. Integrating occupational health into primary care could help extend coverage of basic services to more workers and their communities through workplace and community-based delivery models.
The document provides information about the Wantveld Health Centre in the Netherlands, including its services and staff. It discusses the current separate systems for primary healthcare and occupational healthcare, noting advantages and disadvantages. Reasons are provided for joining these systems, including more focus on work and functioning for clients. Experiences of a "company doctor in primary care" are shared. The referral processes between practitioners are outlined for several client cases.
The document discusses integrating occupational health practices into primary health care in the Netherlands. Currently, the two systems are separate, with general practitioners providing primary care and company doctors providing occupational health services. The summary is:
1) There are advantages and disadvantages to the separate Dutch systems, such as GPs not being pressured to provide sick notes but also a lack of communication between the sectors.
2) The document proposes integrating company doctors into primary care to address issues like overlooking work-related causes of illness and providing a point of contact for those without regular occupational services.
3) Examples are given of clients successfully treated by a primary care company doctor by addressing both health and work-related issues. The integration could improve

The document discusses shifting the focus of primary care from episodic, disease-based care to holistic, patient-centered care that addresses social determinants of health like occupation and work. It outlines the large number of work-related injuries and illnesses in the U.S. each year and how integrating occupational health into primary care settings could help improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention for many patients. Barriers and opportunities for strengthening collaboration between occupational health and primary care professionals and institutions are also examined.
This document summarizes Dr. Issa Said Al Shuaili's presentation on integrating occupational health services into primary health care in Oman. It discusses Oman's workforce demographics and existing occupational health regulations. It then outlines Oman's experience integrating occupational health into primary care through training primary care doctors, promoting health education in workplaces, and planning to attach doctors to workplaces. Finally, it identifies capacities needed like assessing local contexts, developing human resources, and establishing evaluation systems to support a people-centered occupational health model in primary care.
1. The role of primary care centers in workers' health is to provide prevention, treatment, disability assessment, and collaboration with occupational health specialists. Electronic health records and tools can help integrate occupational health data.
2. Strengthening collaboration requires training primary care and occupational health providers together, identifying stakeholders, and removing administrative and financial barriers.
3. Supporting workers' health involves empowering workers and communities through health education, ensuring access to occupational health services, and addressing legal issues. Involving workers and unions is important.
This document outlines discussions from Round Table 2 on people-centered care. The round table focused on identifying strategies and actions to protect and promote worker health. Key questions discussed included: [1] defining the role of primary care centers in worker health; [2] strengthening collaboration between occupational health and primary care; [3] empowering workers and communities to care for their own health; and [4] actions to advance people-centered care for workers at all levels. Suggestions focused on training, guidelines, identifying stakeholders, research, and ensuring access to occupational health services.
This document outlines the agenda for four parallel working sessions at a conference on occupational health and safety. Roundtable 1 focuses on universal healthcare coverage strategies.

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.
One health condition that is becoming more common day by day is diabetes.
According to research conducted by the National Family Health Survey of India, diabetic cases show a projection which might increase to 10.4% by 2030.

• More than half of the patients with COPD have either
cardiovascular problems, or diabetes
• Patients with COPD have a 3- to 6-fold risk to have all
these problems
(Eur Respir J 2008;32:962-69)
• 50 % of 65+ have at least 3 chronic conditions
• 20 % of 65+ have at least 5 chronic conditions
(Anderson 2003)
48. The challenge: vertical disease- oriented
programs and multimorbidity
• Create duplication
• Lead to inefficient facility utilization
• May lead to gaps in patients with multiple co-
morbidities
• Lead to inequity between patients
49. The need for a shift in chronic care: from "Chronic
Disease Management" to "Participatory Patient
Management".
• In many countries, specific access to services is
conditioned by the diagnosis of the patient. This may
lead to a new kind of "inequity", the "inequity by
disease".
• It is worthwhile studying what is the actual presentation
of this phenomenon, and what could be done to handle
it appropriately. How will market forces and
commercialisation play a role in this development?
50. “Inequity by disease” becomes an
increasing problem both in developed
and developing countries
