Healthcare will soon become more patient-friendly and customized to encourage more people to take responsibility for managing their health, and new tools and health IT will provide consumers with opportunities to take charge, according to a newly published report.
Released last Tuesday, “HealthCast: The customization of diagnosis, care and cure” is the result of a year-long study of 25 health systems around the world. The researchers noted that among both developed and emerging market countries, government and health leaders recognized that individuals must play a bigger role in managing their health and overall health spending.
According to the survey respondents, 86 percent of survey respondents believe the attitude in their country is that government will continue to be responsible for basic healthcare; however, the majority agreed that individuals ultimately have the greatest influence over their own health. Patientsâ lack of willpower was cited as the biggest barrier to individuals actively managing their health, but 74 percent believe that unhealthy behavior will become less acceptable in their country.
The report also found that 76 percent said lack of knowledge and access to health information prevents individuals from managing their health. Seventy four percent believe patients do not understand the health information and choices available to them, but increased use of the Internet, social media and mobile communication will give consumers unprecedented new access and knowledge.
Implementation of electronic medical records and health IT are seen by most health systems as important steps to encourage collaboration, empower patients and customize care, according to the report. Forty two percent of global health leaders said EMRs will be operational in their countries within five years, and 71 percent said making EMRs available to patients would make their health system more efficient.

By Matthew Cairns By ABC News staffA new coronavirus outbreak in Western Australia has led to a spike in the number of new cases, with the total number of people who are now being vaccinated for the coronaviruses pneumonic form and poliovirus jumping from more than 500 on Wednesday to more than 1,200 on Friday.
The numbers of cases have increased from just under 1,000 on Wednesday, to more nearly 2,400 on Friday, the WA Department of Health said in a statement.
There have also been reports of some children in the state getting vaccinated as well, it said.
The WA Department said more than 700 cases of the coronacovirus have been reported so far, but it did not provide the number by name.
“We’re really concerned about the spread of the virus in WA and the impact it’s having on the community,” WA Health Minister Tim Pallas said.
“We are monitoring the spread and we need to get as many of the new cases as we can into hospitals as quickly as we possibly can.”
Mr Pallas told reporters that more than 70 per cent of the people who have been vaccinated for polioviruses have not had any symptoms.
WA Chief Health Officer Professor Mike Laidlaw said the number one priority is to get the virus under control in WA.
“The best way to do that is to ensure that all people who can be vaccinated are vaccinated,” Professor Laidaw said.
“So, we want to ensure as many people as possible are vaccinated.”
Professor LaidAW said that as of Monday, more than 2,200 people had been vaccinated, and that a total of 1,942 people had had their vaccination status changed.
“I think what we’re going to see is that a lot of people are going to get their vaccinations because they’re doing what they can to protect themselves and their families,” Professor Pallas added.
“It’s the most important thing that we can do at this stage.”
Dr Andrew Jones, from the Public Health Victoria, said the coronavalve virus could be spreading from person to person in WA because of the lack of surveillance.
“If you’ve got people who might have not been exposed to a lot and they are getting a new coronovirus, that could be a very dangerous situation for them and it would put a lot more strain on the health system,” Dr Jones said.
In a statement, WA Health said it was working closely with the Department of Public Health, Health and Medical Services (DPHS) and the Department for Health and Ageing to identify the best way of controlling the spread.
“As well as continuing to monitor the virus, we are also conducting additional targeted vaccination of people at risk of spreading the virus,” the statement said.
Mr Palty said the WA Government had also been monitoring the outbreak, and he said there was no reason why more people should not be vaccinated.
“There’s not a reason why you can’t vaccinate people,” he said.

Jaipur, Jan 30 (IANS) BJP MP Dr Kirodi Lal Meena's sit-in protest at the Agra road here, to demand a CBI inquiry into the Rajasthan paper leak episode, entered its seventh day on Monday but while he has been garnering support of former MLAs including former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, the organisation's support was not visible.
On Monday, Jaipur City MP Ramcharan Bohra, former BJP state President Ashok Parnami, former Education Minister Vasudev Devnani, and former ministers Rohitash Sharma and Kailash Verma, among others, visited the protest site.
Union Minister Sanjeev Balyan and Deputy Leader of Opposition Rajendra Rathore had also visited but later, PM Narendra Modi's visit to Bhilwara led the entire organisation shift focus to go ahead and and making preparations for it.
However, office bearers of the state BJP seem to have completely distanced themselves from this movement, with factionalism being considered as a major reason for this distance.
Vasundhara Raje on Sunday extended her support to Meena, saying that the senior BJP leader has been sitting on a dharna for the youth since the last six days, and said it was 'surprising that despite such a huge movement, the Congress government of the state does not care at all about the dreams of the youth of the state'.
However, BJP state President Satish Poonia discarded the news of factionalism, saying senior party workers have been supporting Meena's protest.
'I had plans to visit the protest site, however as I returned from Karnataka, I had to visit my constituency for a programme. Tomorrow after Vidhan Sabha, I have plans to visit the site. He is actually a party worker and is working for the party cause. So how and why can this factionalism come,' he said.

Keep leaders out: PM O’Neill
20 June, 2018, 9:00 am
PORT MORESBY (THE NATIONAL) – Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O’Neill says politicians or leaders will not be allowed to interfere with investigations into the Mendi unrest.
He said law enforcement agencies would be left to do their job independently to arrest and charge those responsible for the mayhem.
“Many times, in the country our leaders tend to go in and interfere with the investigations and we don’t arrest the people for the criminal acts that they have done,” O’Neill told a media conference in Port Moresby.
“Sometimes we allow compensation to come in and undermine the legal process.
“That’s why we have the State Of Emergency there.
“And we have given the law enforcement agencies directions for the rules of engagement on the ground.
“We will allow the rule of law to take its course.
“Acting Police Commissioner Jim Andrews said that he has put a team that will immediately be dispatched to Mendi to investigate and to make sure that appropriate charges are laid on people involved in the incidents (burning down of Link PNG plane and government properties).
“Many of these people involved in the burning are known to the community.
“So we don’t expect the investigation to go longer.
“We want to make sure that we don’t allow people to take the law into their own hands.”
Meanwhile, O’Neill said that situation in Mendi had returned to normal.

(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) High net worth investors and analysts are betting on a strong recovery in Dubai's economy for 2021, led by strategic sectors such as retail, hospitality, tourism, transport and logistics, and following the arrival of Covid-19 vaccine, as well as a rebound in the global economy and reforms announced during the pandemic.
They also appreciated the emirate's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and measures taken to contain the pandemic which will expedite the economic recovery and help achieve sustainable growth over short to medium term.
Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris, chairman and CEO of Orascom Investment Holding, is all praise for Dubai. He said that the world is flocking to the emirate after its successful handling of the Covid-19 pandemic that led to the opening up of the economy and return of tourists.
'The World is moving to Dubai ... cheers to Dubai, said 66-year-old Sawiris, who owns assets worth $3 billion. He is the highest-ranked foreign investor to acknowledge that Dubai is rising fast in the post Covid-19 period.
Dubai Statistics Centre estimated that the emirate's economy will expand four per cent next year on the back of effective policy measures taken by the emirate's government that will drive increased investment inflows and job creation in the coming years.
Dubai announced its 2021 budget on Sunday at an estimated expenditures of Dh57.1 billion.
London-based research consultancy has stated that Dubai stands out in the Middle East for adopting protective measures to contain the pandemic and is one of the major beneficiaries of the vaccine.
'Dubai, which stands to be among the biggest beneficiaries from a vaccine, has received a shot in the arm with the news that tourists will flock to the Emirate over the next month, said Capital Economics.
Dubai began rolling out Covid-19 vaccines last week as the vaccination programmes in other countries continue.
Reforms yielding results
Khatija Haque, head of research and chief economist at Emirates NBD, said with the global economy likely to rebound from the second quarter next year, the outlook for Dubai's transport, logistics and hospitality sectors looks brighter as well.
Emirates NBD Research sees a three per cent GDP growth forecast for Dubai in 2021 for now.
'Dubai and the UAE have also implemented and approved a number of structural reforms in 2020 which should start to yield some benefits in 2021, including allowing foreign investors to own 100 per cent of onshore companies in some sectors and new more flexible visa regulations. The new agreement with Israel has already led to an estimated 50,000 visitors from there, which has helped to offset the decline in visitor numbers from traditional markets, she said.
'Finally, Dubai's Expo2020 is set to go ahead from October 2021, which should spur the recovery in tourism to the emirate in the second half of next year, Haque added.

By OLIVER SAMBOKO in Dundumwezi.
HEADMEN in Dundumwezi constituency have assured President Edgar Lungu and the Patriotic Front of victory in next year’s general elections.
The headmen said the PF Government has shown commitment to develop the area hence the people of Dundumwezi were now willing to work with the ruling party to foster more development.
And addressing the over 250 headmen at Chief Chikankata’s palace, PF national mobilisation committee member Bizwell Mutale said the relationship between the ruling party and some parts of Southern Province has not been good but that the ruling party was geared to work with the people to develop the once preserve of the opposition.
He said President Lungu and his Government was committed to ensuring that development was brought to the area and that can only be possible if the people of Dundumwezi vote for the PF next year.
Mr Mutale observed that for 30 years the people of Southern Province have been committed to the opposition which has led to the region to lack development as the people they were electing from the opposition were refusing to work with the Government of the day.
“It’s now time for the people in the region to enter into developmental partnership with the government of the day by voting for the ruling party,” he said.
Mr Mutale said because the ruling party has no MPs and councilors in the region, the PF Government, was finding it difficult to bring development to constituencies like Dundumwezi but the ruling party was now looking forward to work with the people in the area.
Mr Mutale said Government was committed to bringing development aimed at improving the lives of the people in the region.
“With the partnership in place, and the people of Dundumwezi willing to work with the Government of the day, development will surely come to the area,” he said.
And speaking on behalf other headmen, senior headman Chibyabusiku called for fair distribution of farmijg imputs under the farmer input support program(FISP).
He said while farmers in other areas were receiving seven bags of fertiliser and seeds, farmers in Dundumwezi were only given three each. Headman Chibyabusiku also called on Government to address the challenge of accommodation for Agriculture extension officers.

Ranchi, July 25: A PIL filed today before the Jharkhand High Court may shift focus on five ministers in the Madhu Koda cabinet.
In the PIL Kusheshwar Singh and Mukesh Singh requested the court to intervene and direct the Assembly Speaker to dispose matters related to the cancellation of membership of ministers Stephen Marandi, Anosh Ekka, Chandra Prakash Choudhary, Bhanu Pratap Sahi and Kamlesh Singh.
The petitioners have said that the five ministers have violated the conditions and provisions of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution, which bans defection from political parties. All the five ministers have gone against the policy and principle of their respective political parties for joining the government.
The petitioners have also said that the respective cases have been pending before the office of the Speaker for the past three years.
The petitioners expressed their concern over the cases that were filed much earlier but decisions still pending. Once the government completes its term, the matter would be rendered useless.
The petitioners also said that the office of the Speaker functions as a tribunal when it comes to dealing with cases of defection of members of the Assembly. Thus, the court could intervene and direct the Speaker to expedite the proceedings of the cases against the ministers, the petitioners stated.

It has been recorded that there has been a 60% drop in cancer screenings for the first half of this year as a result of the COVID-19 lockdown.
The Meath West TD Peadar Tóibín has said that the drop in cancer screenings during the COVID-19 lockdown will cost many lives.
Tóibín was diagnosed with, the skin cancer,
melanoma during the summer. However, he has recently received the positive news that his prognosis may not be as bad as he first feared.
He feels that the lack of screenings will result in many not being as fortunate as he is. He says, “There are many people right now in the health service who have diagnosis similar to myself and I have spoken to doctors across the country who have told me that there are individuals that they know of whose outcomes will not be positive and that the people will lose their lives as a result of the lack of treatment that they have received over the last number of months”.


Initially dubbed as the World of Warcraft beater, Funcom’s Age of Conan was nowhere near achieving its goal and now, with the flawless Warhammer Online released, the MMO has even more problems. This means that many players are quitting the game and slowly, if things don’t change, AoC will turn into your regular “2000 players” MMO. But Funcom doesn’t want that to happen.
Talking to Eurogamer, Craig Morrison said that the company is working on addressing the issues stated by the community, admitting that it is the main thing they have to do if they want to bring players back:
“In the MMO space, word of mouth is incredibly important. If we can show that the players who are playing the game are having a good experience, that the game has improved and that they can see that – that they’re talking to us, and we’re engaging with them… That has a positive knock-on effect,” he said.
He went on to say that now people are starting to have kind of positive words for Age of Conan, telling their friends about the problems that have been fixed, rather than simply putting it: “It’s a bad game”. Oh, yeah, that’s a big reason to be happy!

Earlier on the day the three went missing, police had visited the family as part of their investigation after the rape allegations were reported.
Mdleleni said it is alleged that after the police left, the uncle arrived and began questioning the family on what the police were looking for.

Three cases of murder and kidnapping were opened and no arrests have been yet
Police are appealing to anyone who can assist with the information that can lead to the arrest of the perpetrators to contact the toll-free number 0860010111


Shortage of cops hindering separation of St James police division
The shortage of police personnel is hampering plans by the Ministry of National Security to go ahead with a plan to divide St James into two police divisions.
The plan was announced more than a year ago.
At the time, the country was told that the move will better enable the security forces to tackle scammers and criminals, who have been operating from across the parish.
In a recent interview with our news centre Portfolio Minister, Robert Montague, said most of the administrative work on the separation has been completed.
Montague further said efforts are being made to locate space to accommodate the cops.
But, he said the biggest challenge is having an adequate amount of police personnel to staff the new division.
He declined to give a timeline by when the separation will be completed stating that the issue is an operational matter.
St James has been the leading parish for murders.
At least 325 homicides have been recorded in the parish since the start of the year.

Siri appeared recently on the Real Leaders podcast to talk about Crossing the Fear Line.
“What I’ve realized through my journey is that we are so much more powerful than we could ever imagine, as human beings. But we don’t want to believe that because it’s scary to think about what we really are capable of. And I’m a believer because I’m living proof that the impossible is really possible. I’m also a believer that you’re going to be afraid, but you’re going to do it anyway. And that’s what courage is, isn’t it?”


Poll shows increase in patriotism
The poll found that people are now more cautious about what goes on around them.
By DAVID SKOLNICK
VINDICATOR POLITICS WRITER
YOUNGSTOWN -- A majority of Ohioans say they feel more patriotic since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to a statewide poll.
Of those asked by the Ohio Poll, sponsored by the University of Cincinnati, 62 percent said they feel more patriotic. That compares to 1 percent who said they feel less patriotic since terrorists hijacked airplanes crashing them into New York City's World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Another hijacked plane crashed in western Pennsylvania. Thirty-seven percent of the respondents said they feel as patriotic as they did before the attacks.
The poll also showed that 44 percent said the terrorist attacks and the aftermath have changed their way of life.
Twenty-eight percent said they are "more cautious/aware of people and things around me," which was the most significant change cited by those who said the attacks have changed their lives.
Other findings: Also, 9 percent said they were reducing the amount of flying and/or travel they did; 7 percent said they had increased fear of additional attacks; and 6 percent said they had increased their attention of news reports.
The Ohio Poll questioned 826 adults by telephone between Oct. 24 and Nov. 8. The margin of error was 3.4 percent.
Those participating in the poll also were asked about other ways their lives have been changed since the attacks, but no feeling received the level of support that patriotism obtained in the poll.
The poll results show that more women, 49 percent, than men, 38 percent, feel their lives have changed since Sept. 11. Also, 40 percent of people between the ages of 18 and 29 and those 65 years of age and older feel their lives have changed since the attacks compared to 45 percent of those between the ages of 30 and 45, and 49 percent of those between the ages of 46 and 64.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek Insaf (PTI) leader Senator Faisal Javed Khan on Tuesday said that Prime Minister Imran Khan has taken the most effective measures for the welfare of people despite the global COVID-19 crisis.
In a statement, he said that Prime Minister Imran Khan is truly a public leader, working for the people, not for himself. He said that the rulers of the past thought only of their own interests- building their own businesses, factories, mills, properties, and overseas assets.
Faisal Javed who is also Chairman Senate Standing Committee on Information and Broadcasting said that the past rulers used to spend public money on personal expenses and foreign tours, adding that they were also involved in corruption and money laundering.
On the contrary, Prime Minister Imran Khan’s sole interest was the welfare of the masses and expressed hope for a bright future. He said that the opposition was protesting the reduction in fuel and electricity prices.
He said that it was earlier mentioned, that the opposition issue was not inflation or prices of petrol, diesel, and electricity but their own personal interest to get relief in corruption cases. Faisal Javed said that they had no concerns for the masses but their whole movement was for getting the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) from the government.
