The worldwide trends in trade of health-related services are looked at in detail in the fourth paper in The Lancet Series on Trade and Health, written by Professor Richard Smith, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK, and colleagues. In their analysis, the authors use the classification provided by the WTO for the General Agreement on Trade and Services (GATS): cross-border supply of health services, consumption of services abroad, foreign direct investment, and movement of health professionals.

Offshoring givesa great advantage in cost cut and benefits. And now Healthcare industry is focusing heavily on offshoring. WHAT COULD BE THE REASON BEHIND? The global healthcare industry is under pressure to reduce research and administrative costs and meet tighter compliance and security mandates in Europe and in the US. The market has thus begun to represent an outsourcing opportunity for IT players. The global healthcare IT outsourcing market is estimated at around USD80 billion and is growing by 12 percent every year. Automation in the industry is equally low. As pressure from consumers increases, players will need to outsource an increasing share of their IT budget. With costs six t...

last week I happened to be in Rohtak where my in-laws live. my father-in-law was very ill for a long time private hospital treatment was ineffective. since there is a famous Post-Graduate Medical institute (PGIMS) In rohtak which has many renouned specialists, we decided to try our luck there. This was my 1st brush with a govt hospital it was an eye opener for me. Written instructions on display along with personnel at enquiry counters who have the attitude of an insecure ageing movie actress ensured that the harassed harrowed patients their relatives who are a little less inclined towards literacy run around like headless chicken. Endless paperwork which needs to be filled presented at a ...

Indian Public healthcare system is currently dysfunctional and impairing its more than a billion strong population. This may be clear with the following hitting facts: a) In India only 13% rural population has access to PHC, 33% to Sub-Centres , 9.6% to District Hospital and 28.3% to clinics. b) Two third of the registered hospitals in india are private owned. c)Shortage of manpower in PHC is 18% for Doctor, 15% for nurse 30% for paramedics. d) Absenteeism in Public healthcare is nearly 40% across the country. e) Healthcare services account for 27% of the bribes paid for public services. f) Public healthcare failure results in 17 lakh children deaths (below 1 Year)and India accounts for 1/5...

By Shane Starling, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) has signaled its intention to blacklist 125 nutrients including forms of glucosamine, aloe vera and krill because it says they are not being used in products, according to the US Department of Agriculture Foreign Agriculture Service (FAS). Others that appear on the list include isomaltodextranase, chitin, quercetin, mulberry bark extract, ginger extract and calcinated calcium and Eucalyptus leaf extract. But it is believed the bans are not on the ingredients par se, just specific forms that have slipped out of usage. The USDA said the MHLW was requesting additional information from the companies concerned that may ...

Next Monday, June 15, is a big day for the European healthy foods and food supplements industries. Let’s call it Big Monday. Or J15. The Buddhists call them “turning around days” – destiny-altering days where things can never be the same again – and that is what J15 is shaping up to be for the health claims regime here in Europe. Either things will be a lot clearer about how to gather and present health claim-backing data, or industry better start accepting that Europe is going to be a health claims wasteland come 2010. Is your company factoring in worst-case scenarios? On J15, about 120 executives from some of the biggest food, supplements and ingredients companies in Europe will convene a...

Which supplements should YOU take? Many of us are seduced by the promise of better health and increased vitality offered by vitamin supplements. But will taking supplements really make us healthier? Tom Sanders, Professor of Nutrition and Dietetics at King’s College London, says there is no ‘magic pill’ when it comes to nutrition, and as taking supplements often goes hand in hand with a healthy diet, it can be difficult to evaluate their benefits. Furthermore, nutrients from food are sometimes more readily absorbed and used by the body than those in a pill. Please find below the ultimate guide to the nutrients that are vital for good health... VITAMIN A VITAL FOR: Sight and bones, and to make infection-fighting white blood cells . Despite lab studies suggesting anti-cancer properties, there’s no evidence that A protects against tumours. RECOMMENDED DAILY AMOUNT (RDA): 0.7mg for men; 0.6 for women. GOOD FOOD SOURCES : Pumpkin, carrots, sweet potato. LIKELIHOOD OF DEFICIENCY:...

Way back in 1897 William Faulkner said, “ I believe that man will not merely endure; he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among the creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of kindness and compassion .” I’m not talking about anything new here; it’s just a reminder of what we all knew and seem to have forgotten. We seem to have been taken in by the sheer pace of things around us – the violence, the economy driven work culture, the information boom, etc etc – you know them all – and the media has only added up to the pace. We need to look around us. Where have all courtesies gone ? Been to a gathering lately ? This is a wake-up call , a reminder !! We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibres connect us with our fellow human beings; and along those fibres, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects . We need to re-learn to give; so that some of us eventually receive. It's the...

SEO or search engine optimization has become an important part of online trades in the present days. It has become very tricky over time. The largest engines are Google, MSN and Yahoo . To appear in search engines like Google, your internet site must be listed in their listings or directories. Listing any website in these search engines’ directories means that these websites exist. If the website has similar contents when compared to other websites, there are chances of a stiff competition and chances of getting placed in the first few ranks of the search result decreases. But if the website is unique in its content, then without any competition, first rank in the search result is ensured. So, one must optimize a website with unique phrases or keywords in order to get listed in the top of search results. A few years ago, to get top listed, use of META key terms were common but with the technology evolving, it has become complex and tricky to optimize. There are many methods of...
