Even though recreational boat drivers do not need to get a license to drive a boat that is less than 12 meters long and 4 meters wide, a driver’s certificate is important. It will help ensure drivers are able to comply with the Swedish Maritime Code.

Global health care challenges and trends_ bestyBesty Varghese
GLOBAL HEALTH CARE CHALLENGES AND TRENDS: Analyses the global healthcare trends and challenges.
Healthcare providers have a unique window of opportunity to embrace efficient new technologies that directly support better healthcare and patient experiences at a lower cost.
New healthcare systems will be:
Evidence- and prevention-based
Interdisciplinary and coordinated
Transparent, accessible, accurate, and understandable
Focused on improving patient outcomes and experience
Based on partnerships among stakeholders
Visionary in their long-term thinking
And in total International health + Global public health + Collective health + Global health diplomacy = LIFE’S RIGHT.

Each year in low- and middle-income countries thousands of people are detained in hospitals for non-payment of medical bills, despite the fact that such detention is a violation of national and international law. Hospital detention for nonpayment of bills disproportionately affects the most vulnerable people, including post-partum women.
In the US, medical debt manifests itself in other ways, including bankruptcy, litigation to garnish wages, and foregone care. In both contexts, these scandals are the result of failures of financing, priority-setting, and legal oversight.
Without addressing these systemic issues, a "human right to health care" will remain a hollow slogan, as will political promises to achieve universal health coverage.
This event will feature Robert Yates of Chatham House, which has conducted an in-depth investigation of the global phenomenon of hospital detentions. Additional panelists will address manifestations of predatory lending and surprise medical fees in the United States, the ethical imperatives of financing and priority setting for UHC in general, and the implications for thinking about health care as a human right.

The Kingdom of Tonga has had one of the best overall levels of health within the Pacific as a result of a dramatic reduction in communicable diseases and maternal and child mortality since the 1950s. It is also on target to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) around maternal and child mortality. Adapting its strong primary health-care system to deal with the large financial burden associated with chronic and noncommunicable diseases and ensuring quality primary health-care services in remote areas are the main health sector challenges facing Tonga.

(MSF) Syria is seen as the world’s most grave humanitarian
disaster

healthcare System
210,000+ Known death tolls
1.5 Million Civilians seriously injured
60,000 Permanently disabled
610+ Medical Workers killed
239 Attacks on Medical facilities
80% Hospitals damaged / closed

17. Challenges 1
● Air Bombardment:
○ Attacks on high density civilian areas and hospitals
○ Medical workers are dealing with high volume of
casualties caused by increase in barrel bombs attacks
● Resources:
○ Shortage of qualified medical workers; (23 out of 2500
doctors remain serving Aleppo, the rest fled or killed)
○ Daily shifts stretching to 13-18hrs / 7 days
○ Secure safe housing for families of key Medical workers

ACMC Hospitals:
63% Natural Delivery
37% Cesarians
32. Risks
● High turnover of medical workers due to:
○ Overwhelming pressures and very long working shifts
○ Unpaid backlog wages (cash shortage to pay salaries)
○ Seeking safe haven for their families outside the city
○ unable to obtain or renew passport / ID
● Increase of mortality rate due to inability to
provide prompted life-saving treatment
● High vulnerability to outbreaks of
infectious Disease
33. How to Help
1. Enhance the response capacity for life-saving and
Trauma Surgeries by facilitating access to certain Syrian
Expatriate surgeons willing to rotating volunteer in Syria
2. Partner to fund salaries of War-zone medical workers
3. Support life-saving medical programs in devastated areas
4. Promote Telemedicine to provide clinical health care and
consultation to help eliminate distance barriers and
improve access to medical services in remote areas
35. Give Syria Hope
Each donation of 13,79 USD may save the life
of a person, heal a little sick child , or relief the
pain on an old man , it will actually help to
#SaveAleppo
