Far from Copenhagen’s turbulent climate talks, the sea lions, harbor seals and sea otters reposing along the shoreline and kelp forests of Marine Sanctuary marine area, stand to gain from any global deal to cut greenhouse gases. But reducing carbon emissions worldwide also would help mend a lesser-known environmental problem: ocean acidification. Nothing in the treaty negotiations specifically addresses the effects of carbon absorption in the oceans on marine life, which studies show is damaging key creatures’ hard shells or skeletons. Oceans absorb about 25% of the world’s greenhouse gases pumped into the atmosphere from human activities each year, says a new UN report released at the Cope...

Fortis Healthcare, India’s second-largest healthcare service provider, plans to come up with a new model of healthcare delivery for tier-II and-III towns. It intends to set up smaller hospitals with a capacity for up to 200 beds, which will provide treatment at nearly 50% less cost than in the present facilities. To ensure viability of the model, Fortis is also looking at halving the investment per bed for such hospitals. For starters, the company will set up two such facilities, one each in the North and the West, by 2011-12 “There’s a huge need to develop quality hospitals for the masses in the hinterland. In fact, India can accommodate hundreds of such hospitals. We have been working on ...

I believe that this is a good move to extend the health care facilities to tier II & III cities rather than concentrating on the metros. If Fortis can provide the same treatment like in their metro hospitals, at a cheaper cost, than it will be...

Bindu Narayan  |  Argues in support of  "Control the Price"  |  2 years ago
