WHO’S THE BOSS?
In the digital health revolution, the patient is supposed to be king. But in a world where this consumer doesn’t pay for much of his or her care, isn’t confident about his or her knowledge of the marketplace, and doesn’t have that much choice anyway, can he or she really be in charge? (If the answer is no, how do we change this paradigm?)

HDR panorama done in LR Classic CC. Two exposures for each of 13 shots. This one really challenged the algorithms and there were too many stitching and HDR masking errors to deal with. Still, I love the shot so I'll choose to ignore the problems.

“It was dawn. I was asleep and woke up when I heard the noise of a gunfire. We immediately run out of the house. I remember being taken to a forest. We were afraid and scared. We were running fast but they caught me. Heard that my father was killed that day- didn’t know about it until my return.
The Abductors are always talking to us but we don’t understand anything. I think they were trying to teach us their language. I only met one friend from my village but the rest of the children were strangers. I am so happy to be back to my family. When I grow up I only want to do good things to human beings by becoming a teacher or a doctor. I will never forget this experience. It was such unexpected return- I was thinking they will lock us there forever. Me and my mother cried for a long time with happiness. Now that my mother is with me, I am not scared anymore. I miss my siblings so I want to go back to my village soon.”© UNICEF Ethiopia/2016/Meklit Mersha

Reliable health centre are very few especially in the rural areas. Returnees are preferring to settle in urban centres where they are assures of some basic services. This in turn leads to overcrowding and stretching of the little services available. EC/ECHO/Martin Karimi
Governor Abercrombie signed the following bills:
House Bill 2052 (Relating to Provider Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) increases access to Provider Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) by updating references from “physicians orders for life-sustaining treatment” to “provider orders for life-sustaining treatment.” The measure also expands health care provider signatory authority to include advance practice registered nurses and corrects inconsistencies of terms describing who may sign a POLST form on behalf of a patient.
House Bill 1616 (Relating to Health Planning) adds to the Hawaii State Planning Act’s objectives and policies for health, the identification of social determinants of health and prioritization of programs, services, interventions, and activities that address identified social determinants of health to improve Native Hawaiian health in accordance with federal law and reduce health disparities of disproportionately affected demographics.
House Bill 1723 (Relating to Psychiatric Facilities) amends the notice requirements for the discharge of an involuntary patient committed pursuant to legal proceeding involving fitness to proceed and requires the family court to conduct a timely hearing prior to the termination of a standing commitment order.
House Bill 2320 (Relating to Health) establishes health equity as a goal for the DOH and requires the DOH to consider social determinants of health in assessing health needs in the state. The measure is known as “Loretta’s Law” for the late DOH Director Loretta Fuddy, who was passionate proponent.
House Bill 2581 (Relating to Insurance) establishes the State Innovation Waiver Task Force and requires the task force to submit two interim reports and a final report to the legislature.
Senate Bill 2469 (Relating to Telehealth) requires equivalent reimbursement for services, including behavioral health services, provided through telehealth as for the same services provided via face-to-face contact between a health care provider and a patient. The measure also clarifies that health care providers for purposes of telehealth include primary care providers, mental health providers, oral health providers, physicians and osteopathic physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, psychologists, and dentists. For consistency purposes, the bill changes statutory references of “telemedicine” to “telehealth.”
House Bill 2400 (Relating to Temporary Disability Benefits) provides temporary disability benefits to employees who suffer disabilities as a result of donating organs.
Senate Bill 1233 (Relating to Leaves of Absence) requires certain private employers to allow employees to take leaves of absence for organ, bone marrow, or peripheral blood stem cell donation. Unused sick leave, vacation, or paid time off, or unpaid time off, may be used for these leaves of absence. The measure also requires employers to restore an employee returning from leave to the same or equivalent position and establishes a private right of action for employees seeking enforcement of provisions.

Traditional birth attendants are women who assist mothers in delivering their babies, and have usually been trained by other traditional birth attendants (and increasingly by NGOs).
The government promotes clinic attendance for births and encourages traditional attendants to refer pregnant women to the PHUs for delivery. But the traditional attendants continue to be used quite commonly for home births.

Vitamin A deficiency
250 million pre-school children are Vitamin A deficient, and the condition is the leading cause of preventable childhood blindness worldwide, especially in low-income countries.
Vitamin A is essential for growth and development, eye health and a strong immune system.
The World Health Organization aims to eliminate Vitamin A deficiency, and food fortification is a key part of the strategy. What is Nestlé doing to help?

Cancer can be treated in a number of ways. Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, Immunotherapy, and Monoclonal Antibody Therapy are among the most popular. The choice of cancer therapy is made by looking at the stage of the disease and the state of the patient. The goal of cancer treatment is the complete removal of the cancer without significantly damaging the rest of the body. Sometimes a surgeon can remove the cancer easily, other times this is not possible. Chemotherapy and Radiation can be quite affective in killing cancer cells, but they are also toxic to healthy cells.
The Breast Cancer Run
Surgery
Theoretically, non-blood based cancers can be cured if entirely removed by surgery. This is easier said than done. If the cancer spreads to other parts of the body before surgery, it is usually impossible to remove all the cancer through surgery. Two of the most well know surgical procedures for removing cancer are mastectomy (where one or both of the breast are removed in an effort to treat breast cancer) and a prostatectomy (where all or part of the prostate gland are removed). Cancer can recur if a single cell is left behind after surgery. With this in mind a pathologist will carefully examine your surgical specimen to make sure there is a margin of healthy tissue present.
Surgery is also used to determine the stage (extent) of cancer. Staging is very important for determining a prognosis and treatment.
A Radiation Mask
Radiation Therapy
Radiation Therapy is the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation can be giving externally through External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT) or internally through Brachytherapy. The effects of radiation are concentrated on the area being treated. Radiation Therapy damages the DNA of the cancer cells making it impossible for them to grow and divide. Radiation Therapy damages both healthy and cancer cells, but healthy cells are able to recover from the Radiation. Radiation is given over several rounds so the healthy cells have a chance to recover between treatments.
Radiation is used to treat almost every type of cancer. The amount of Radiation that is given depends on the type of cancer and how close it is to major organs. As with every form of cancer treatment, radiation is not without side effects.

Side Effects of Radiation Therapy
The side effects of Radiation Therapy can appear during treatment or years later. The nature of the side effects depend on where the radiation was received and how much. Some of the immediate side effects from radiation are burning on the skin, swelling, infertility, and fatigue. Some of the long term side effects fibrosis (loss of elasticity in the tissue that was treated), hair loss, dryness, and cancer.

Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is the treatment of cancer with anticancer drugs. Most chemotherapy targets all rapidly dividing cells, and not just cancer cells. This means that often chemotherapy damages healthy cells as well as cancer cells. However, most healthy cells repair themselves after the chemotherapy has ended. Most patients are given a combination of chemotherapy drugs. It is important that you talk all drugs that are prescribed in combination with your chemotherapy.
Targeted Therapy
Targeted Therapy first became available in the late 1990s and it has proven to be very effective in treating some types of cancer. If you have questions about Targeted Therapy and how it can help you or your loved one, talk to your doctor. Your doctor will know what Targeted Therapies may be right for your cancer.

Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a set of strategies that will trigger a patient’s immune system to fight the tumor. Immunotherapy has been very affective on Renal Cell Carcinoma, Melanoma, and prostate cancer.
Hormonal Therapy
Hormonal therapy is used to block or provide certain hormones. They have been particularly effective in Breast and Prostate Cancers.

Symptom Control
Some treatments are designed not to kill the cancer cells, but to control the symptoms of the cancer. This is very important for helping maintain a high quality of life for the cancer patient. Symptom Control is used for all stages of cancer, but particularly for end of life care. There is somewhat of a social stigma attached to the use of high power pain killers. Cancer patients should feel free to ask their doctor or Hospice provider about any medicine they take, especially if the patient feels the medicine is doing more harm than good. That being said, do not stop taking any medicines without consulting your health care provider first.
Complementary and Alternative Medicines
Consult your doctor and do lots of research before beginning any alternative treatment. Do not stop your other therapies or medicines in order to take an Alternative Medicine. No Alternative Treatments have been shown to effectively treat any form of cancer, and none are FDA approved.

Clinical Trials
Clinical Trials test new treatments on people with cancer. The goal of these studies is to find better ways to treat cancer and help cancer patients. Patients who take part in clinical trails get the best available standard of care for their cancer, however there is no guarantee that the new treatment will work. If the treatment does work, those in the trial are among the first to benefit from the new treatment.

Community health workers are supposed to report to the PHU. But our research suggests that the strength of connections between the two varies dramatically from one place to the next.
In some cases, for example, community health workers appear to be in far closer contact with the local organizations that trained them.
These weak relationships are of particular cause for concern, as is the limited training community health workers currently receive.
UNICEF Ethiopia has supported children who were recovered through the negotiation of the Ethiopian and South Sudanese Government. The children have been provided with basic health, nutritional services, psychological support as well as nonfood items such as tents for their accommodation and full set of clothing for each child.
