Global Health Issues

Global Health Issues Info: Despite incredible improvements in health since 1950, there are still a number of challenges, which should have been easy to solve. Consider the following.... One billion people lack access to health care systems... 36 million deaths each year are caused by noncommunicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic lung diseases. This is almost two-thirds of the estimated 56 million deaths each year worldwide. (A quarter of these take place before the age of 60.) Cardiovascular diseases (C V Ds) are the number one group of conditions causing death globally. An estimated 17.5 million people died from C V Ds in 2005, representing 30% of all global deaths. Over 80% of C V D deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Over 7.5 million children under the age of 5 die from malnutrition and mostly preventable diseases, each year. In 2008, some 6.7 million people died of infectious diseases alone, far more than the

World Education Report

The World Education Information Report’s focus on education as a basic human right is a fitting choice for the International Year for the Culture of Peace.

If its potential to contribute towards build- ing a more peaceful world is to be realized, edu- cation must be made universally available an equally accessible to all

Guidance notes on the Muslim fast during Ramadan The Muslim fast during the month of Ramadan provides an opportunity for health professionals to promote health improvement among Muslims by offering lifestyle advice on topics such as diet and smoking cessation. It is important to recognize that the Muslim community, like any other, is diverse. This results in differences of perception and practice among Muslim patients. The start of Ramadan advances 11 days every year as it is based on a lunar calendar and will sometimes fall in the summer months, resulting in a more onerous fast than when it is in the winter months. In 2007 Ramadan starts in mid-September.
