Barnardo’s and Whizz-Kidz say a chronic lack of funds and inconsistent provision across the country mean children’s needs are going unmet.
Sveikatos apsaugos ministerija užsimojo per ateinančius dvejus metus į privačių paslaugų teikėjų rankas perduoti net 80 proc. pirminės sveikatos priežiūros paslaugų. Tokie planai gąsdina ir medikus, ir jų pacientus.
Miesto gydymo įstaigos ilgai neranda pamainos kitur gyventi ir dirbti išvykstantiems arba į pensiją išeinantiems patyrusiems medikams.
Imagine the look on Gordon Brown’s face when he saw the results of Bupa’s poll this week suggesting that 34% of the British public think that those who smoke, drink or are obese should take the rap for their self-inflicted bad health by being charged for their medical treatment.
I would also say that ethics committees have an advantage in that decisions are made by discussion, and I think that is best.
„Doctors can be involved with decisions concerning withdrawing and withholding treatment, approaching bereaved families about organ donation and assisted reproduction. „Indeed there has never been such an important role for medical ethics to help guide doctors in their everyday decisions.“
Though the world’s attention has focused on Iran’s advancing nuclear program, Iranian scientists have moved to the forefront in embryonic stem cell research, according to a recent joint study by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Controversial in the United States, embryonic stem cell research was embraced in 2002 by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s conservative religious leader. President Obama has recently adopted a similar policy, reversing restrictions that George W. Bush’s administration imposed because of the implications for destroying potential human lives.
Scientists have welcomed President Barack Obama’s recent decision to allow research on human embryonic stem cells. But in this week’s Scrubbing Up health column Dr Elizabeth Hill, who advises investors on how to sell new technologies, says pharmaceutical and biotech companies need to act now so that patients can benefit in the future.
Wales could become the first part of the UK introduce an opt-out system of organ donation under plans by the assembly government. It would mean that Welsh residents would be presumed to be organ donors unless they have joined an opt out register or immediate relatives object.
There are several proposals for increasing organ donations, none of which has made much progress in America so far. The three leading ones are:
• Making payments to donor families, which would cover some expenses for families willing to donate a relative’s organs.
• Enacting „presumed consent,“ which would assume someone’s organs are available for transplant unless a family opted out of donation.
• Establishing „A“ and „B“ lists of potential recipients, which would give preference to people on the waiting list who had agreed to be organ donors themselves.
