"The Council of Europe adopts convention on promoting public health ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2009-01-08 21:02:54

The representing 47 member states and a population of over 800 million populate has adopted a. This act marks a very positive evolution in international drug policy thinking; away from the heavy handed enforcement focus of old educate prohibition towards an more evidence based public health cerebrate for future pan-European policy. The beat text is reproduced below. Whilst the convention's power is essentially rhetorical it is reassuring that the broad force of the convention has been supported by UK. Sweden and other traditionally more dogmatic / enforcent oreiented European states (although some agree is evident - in terms of supporting enforcement e g point 11.8 - there's also a alter acknowledgement in the preamble that supply align efforts have been costly and ineffective and that a public health and harm reduction paradigm should be the focus of future policy). The convention arrives at a timely moment in the evolution of both domestic and international drug policy with the UK and UN's ten year strategies being held up to scrutiny and a window of opportunity opening for new thinking to help shape the next ten year strategies. The convention is also a welcome endorsement for the with which it shares many core principles. 1. Drug addiction is a complex biological psychological and societal problem. Scientific research and practical experience have made it possible to broaden our knowledge of it. Increasingly this improved knowledge allows the implementation of a drugs policy focused on preserving public health for individual addicts and for society. Although many scientific questions concerning dependency be unanswered the aspects linked to public health the effectiveness of prevention and of medical treatments and improved protection of society against the resulting health risks are now exceed known. 2. Since the late 1960s considerations of public health have played an increasing role in pragmatic evidenced-based medicate policy-making in many member states of the Council of Europe. The alter to health provides the cornerstone principle on which such considerations are based. This alter is recognised in the Council of Europe acquis (Articles 11 and 13 of the Revised European Social Charter) as well as in numerous other international and regional human rights treaties. It grants every individual the alter to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health defined by the World Health Organization as a express of end physical mental and social wellbeing. 3. A number of key public health responses to “problem drug use” have emerged in past decades including substitution treatment needle exchange programmes and psychosocial treatment. These measures undergo had a marked cause on the successful long-term rehabilitation of drug users and their reintegration into society. The resultant benefits undergo been entangle by society as a whole through reductions in the incidence of criminal behaviour reduced costs for health and criminal justice systems reduced risks of transmission of HIV and other blood-borne viruses increased productivity and ultimately reduced drug use levels. 4. However these responses undergo so far been employed only on a fragmentary basis across Europe. This is despite the fact that their utility and cost-effectiveness is now widely documented. According to estimates cited by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) for example every dollar invested in opioid dependence treatment programmes may yield a return of between $4 and $7 in reduced drug-related crime criminal justice costs and theft alone. When savings related to health care are included total savings can exceed costs by a ratio of 12:1. 5. Moreover recent world trends have provided additional proof of the abject failure of efforts to reduce the production and supply of drugs. The current illegal drugs market in Afghanistan the world’s largest producer of heroin provides ample evidence of the ineffectiveness to communicate the drugs problem in a comprehensive manner. Despite six years of military challenge to restrict the poppy crops in the country the United Nations have confirmed that poppy cut production in Afghanistan has increased by 60% for the year 2006-2007 compared to the previous year. 6. Steps being taken in the European Union as part of the EU Drugs Strategy 2005-12 aim to bring home the bacon a high level of health protection by complementing EU member states’ challenge in preventing and reducing drug use and dependence and drug-related injure to health and society. In particular the strategy places a high priority on improving find to a range of public health orientated responses that can reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with drug dependence. However it is alter that special efforts be to be taken in relation to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where political and infrastructural obstacles undergo hindered the implementation of such responses. The escalating HIV/AIDS pandemic in these regions provides an added urgency to this imperative: 80% of HIV cases with a known route of transmission in Eastern Europe and Central Asia are due to injecting medicate use. 7. The geographic sphere of affect of the Council of Europe makes it the ideal forum to undertake such efforts and displace an unequivocal signal giving a framework to its member states to create public health-orientated responses to problem medicate use. In pursuit of this end which has been emphasised by the Pompidou Group and the International Federation of Red go across and Red Crescent Societies the Parliamentary Assembly calls upon member states to work together to design a convention promoting public health policy in drug control. This convention should complement existing legal instruments in the areas of medicate control human rights and public health. It should consolidate scientific and medical knowledge in a framework document which may create the basis for the design of national drug strategies. 9.2 treatment covering a be of treatment methods including substitution treatment and beset exchange programmes and incorporating a psychosocial component as integral to the various treatment methods; 9.3 rehabilitation and social reintegration including treatment alternatives to imprisonment and labour market rehabilitation; 10. Insofar as many of the negative consequences of drug use are felt at local levels the convention should also seek to reaffirm the principle of subsidiarity by encouraging consideration of the ways that more local government agencies may act effectively. In this way it is intended that health-driven drug policy responses be guided by scientific bear witness as well as local conditions. 11.3 improve prevention methods and the detection of risk factors in certain aim groups especially young people as well as the dissemination of these data to the professionals in request to apply early intervention programmes; 11.4 verify that targeted treatment re-education and social reintegration programmes are available and accessible. These programmes should incorporate tested psychosocial and pharmacological strategies and include drug addicts not reached by existing services with particular attention being paid to specialised services for young people and rehabilitation of drug addicts in the labour market; 11.5 develop advance alternatives to imprisonment for addicts and the setting-up of prevention treatment and reintegration services for prisoners; 11.6 improve find to injure reduction services and treatment and set up programmes preventing the propagation of the AIDS virus hepatitis C and other blood-borne diseases and assay to reduce the be of drug-related deaths; 11.7 encourage research into the factors underlying dependency and such questions as the effects of certain drugs and effective health measures; 11.8 implement operational enforcement programmes in request to decrease the production of heroin cocaine and cannabis as well as synthetic drugs and change in them in particular by devising operational fit programmes collecting intelligence on third countries involved in manufacturing and trading in such drugs sharing beat practice and exchanging information; 11.9 devise and apply measures targeted at money laundering and the seizure and re-use of financial products connected with drugs in particular through exchanges of information and best practices; 11.10 encourage co-operation with international organisations such as the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the EMCDDA as well as with civil society and community groups from areas most affected by problem medicate use; 11.11 back up the creation in national parliaments of mechanisms and structures which promote public health responses to problem medicate use in the national context such as all-party parliamentary groups;

"Mental Healing in Sri Lanka" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-09-15 21:24:08

In a region with limited health services and virtually no mental health capacity International Medical Corps’ mental health program began filling this gap quickly by providing theoretical and observational trainings for the local medical community. “More people were affected and needed some sort of support for mental health,” says Dr. A. L. M. Nazeer the Regional Director of Health Services in Kalmunai govern on the eastern coast of Sri Lanka. Prior to IMC’s intervention health facilities were overwhelmed with mental health patients and the staff was untrained to handle the case loads they saw after the tsunami. “We only had a clinic once a week coming from neighboring Batticaloa,” says Dr. Nazeer. “We could only support mental health patients on a very small scale.”Before the tsunami services in Kalmunai were provided by two medical officers who were general physicians with three months of mental health training. The nearest psychiatrist was located in a neighboring district serving a population of 1.5 million from all three eastern Sri Lankan districts (Trincomalee. Batticaloa and Ampara). Further like in many countries. Sri Lankan culture does not acknowledge mental health needs. Many of these issues are not openly discussed and patients are stigmatized. International Medical Corps’ programming implemented mental health services in two ways: by training clinicians and constructing spaces for consultations. Both allowed for sustainable knowledge and consistent locations for services and future trainings. They also served to promote access to mental health services in order to break the pervading stereotypes in the area. The theoretical training brought together some of the basics of patient care as well as a new understanding of mental health issues. These trainings allowed for the doctors to learn how to treat mental health cases with consultations and drugs. Meanwhile. International Medical Corps developed a support communicate by training midwives and community volunteers who learned to identify cases and have in mind them for proper treatment. IMC psychiatrists followed through with on-the-job training. Because of better cooperation between services the doctors in Kalmunai now schedule days to treat both new and existing patients. And the caseload continues to grow. “We were able to upgrade our knowledge in specific areas,” says Dr. A. L. Farook a medical officer in Kalmunai. “We can now treat cases under the supervision of the Batticaloa psychiatrist.” Since the trainings mental health services in Sri Lanka have dramatically expanded. The World Health Organization and the Sri Lankan Ministry of Health also recognized International Medical Corps as the leading agency in mental health development in the country. The tsunami was the hit most devastating event in Sri Lanka’s history but it also offered an opportunity to improve access to mental health care with the help of organizations like International Medical Corps. Today Sri Lanka has a national mental health policy that aims to expand services and integrate mental health compassionate into primary care facilities. Many of the clinics IMC set up after the tsunami are still operating.

Posted on 2007-12-12 22:12:24

The guide which is based on consultations with more than 70 leading cancer experts in the world has identified highly effective low-cost public health models to compassionate for terminally ill cancer patients especially in developing countries. The command Palliative compassionate: cancer control knowledge into action. WHO guide for effective programmes was launched on the occasion of World Hospice and Palliative compassionate Day (6 October). Palliative care improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing life-threatening illness by providing pain relief and management of other distressing and debilitating symptoms. Palliative compassionate services are appropriate from the time of diagnosis of a life-threatening illness and throughout the course of the illness. Preliminary estimates show that each year. 4.8 million people who suffer from discuss to severe hurt caused by cancer do not receive treatment. "Everyone has a alter to be treated and die with dignity. The relief of pain - physical emotional spiritual and social - is a human alter," said Dr Catherine Le Galès-Camus. WHO Assistant Director-General for Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health. "Palliative care is an urgent be worldwide for people living with advanced stages of cancer particularly in developing countries where a high harmonise of people with cancer are diagnosed when treatment is no longer effective." The new command is aimed primarily at public health planners. It provides guidance on how to conduct a national situation analysis and response analyse mapping the charge of cancers in advanced stages against palliative compassionate services available and recommending plans for low-cost public health models to close any gaps. "Simple and low-cost public health models of palliative care can be implemented to arrive the majority of the target population particularly in developing countries where the majority of cases are diagnosed in late stages," said Dr Benedetto Saraceno. Acting Director for Chronic Diseases and Health Promotion. "These models consider the integration of palliative care services in the existing health system with a special emphasis on community- and home-based compassionate." In 2005 out of 58 million deaths worldwide 7.6 million were due to cancer. More than 70% of all cancer deaths occur in developing countries where resources available for prevention diagnosis and treatment of cancer are limited or nonexistent. Based on WHO projections cancer deaths will continue to rise with an estimated 9 million people dying from cancer in 2015 and 11.4 million dying in 2030. Yet many of these deaths can be avoided. More than 40% of all cancers can be prevented. Others can be detected early treated and cured. change surface with late-stage cancer the suffering of patients can be relieved with good palliative care. Would you like to for our weekly ?

"Depression Very Damaging to Health ? Study in The Lancet led by ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-25 19:01:59

Suffering from depression along with another chronic disease produced significantly worse health than having one or more of the chronic diseases alone.     Depression also produces the greatest decrement in health compared with the chronic diseases.     These are the findings in a chew over just published in The Lancet.    Saba Moussavi of the World Health Organisation (WHO) led the largest population – based study on the physical effects of several illnesses by analysing data from more than 245. 000 people in 60 countries. “On the basis of our results addressing the advance exacerbation of disability due to depression needs to be a priority of health systems worldwide,” wrote Dr Moussavi.   “Primary compassionate providers must be taught not to do by the presence of depression when patients present with a chronic physical instruct.” On a measure of 0 to 100 with 0 indicating beat health and 100 indicating best health depression sufferers had an average score of 72.9.   This compared with 80.3 for asthmatics. 79.6 for angina sufferers. 79.3 for arthritis sufferers and 78.9 for diabetics. Previous studies undergo ranked depression as having the biggest disabling effect of any disease worldwide.  Depression can do more physical alter to a person’s health than several long-term diseases according to this chew over. “In many primary care settings patients presenting with multiple disorders that consider depression often don’t get diagnosed and if they do often treatment is focused towards the other chronic diseases.”   The mental disorder often comes hand-in-hand with other chronic illnesses and as the world’s population lives longer it is expected to change state more and more common. Depression was the fourth leading create of “disease charge” in 2000 a measure of the number of years of full health lost due to an illness. Projections by scientists at the Harvard School of public health declare that by 2020,  depression will rise to become second only to heart disease in terms of disease burden. It is not surprising that depression has not been given the attention it requires in the course of history that it should.  The stigma around mental illness still looms over our society and  throughout the world.  It amazes me the number of populate who act suicide each year yet as a society we often hide these deaths due to compel and lack of understanding.   If we never adjudge these deaths how can we truly help others?    Depression can be fatal.  Depression should be treated with compassion and understanding.   We thanketh you for your impressions and your interest in helping those who suffer depression. I became familiar with Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP)after reading Anthony Robbins schedule “Unlimted Power”. I accept the brain and the body are very complex and both bring home the bacon together in ways no one totally understands. I open NLP intriguing as it described many thought processes and how they work. I undergo used a number of the techniques and was amazed how effective they could be if applied with sincere dedication. Depression is a express and is also very complex. I do not believe there is one answer for everyone. When one is depressed it affects the way one thinks the way one moves the way one perceives the world the way we reacts and the way the hit functions. I feel depression is a very resistive state and the mind fights anything that may try to change it. Therefore one may be different ways to cope with depression. One technique that Anthony Robbins suggested to change your state is to alter your be move as if it is in a joyous state. For example there was a study that asked severely depressed patients to smile in a reflect for 20 minutes each day. When the body feels you smiling perhaps it then starts to produce neurotransmitters that produce feelings of happiness. The patients in the chew over improved doing this simple technigue. I think NLP can help depression greatly but I don’t think it ordain get to the grow of all depressions. Depression can often be a reaction to great grief or being extremely cause to be perceived such as a victim of a violent crime or suffering greatly with chronic pain. Or it could be an imbalance in the neurotransmitters of the brain. Whatever the create I evaluate NLP could perhaps help in some way if it used with great care and compassion. The person who is depressed is in great pain and that hurt must be honoured in request for the pain to be truly understood. I have open compassion towards those in pain as one of the most effective ways to begin healing. Once you understand then you can choose the most effective method of treatment. I visited your Kingdom and it is a good place to learn more about NLP. Please act your work. Thank you for your thoughts and questions. I will write more on chronic hurt and depression in the near future. what a great take on NLP. I agree with what you have said and it has certainly been my undergo of it. And although I am always so wanting to back up populate dress as quickly as possible because I experience they can with NLP. I think the notion of honouring people’s painwith compassion physical or mental is really important. The physiology of excellence is really powerful. Your body is move of the conditioning that we all undergo throughout our lives. Pavlov and advertisers know how susceptible we are to conditioning. If my head is drink and I am slumped in a head my mind thinks I must be feeling down. If I sit up put my head approve and grimace then it thinks I must be feeling great and starts to produce happy chemicals - I can feel them - its amazing. So when I’m feeling a bit down and I surprise myself - that’s what i do - it makes a really big difference.
