- Obama gets brickbats and plaudits over global health budget
Hot on the heels of the Gates Foundation $10 billion donation to vaccines and Bill and Melinda's impassioned pleas to governments to increase their aid comes President Obama's budget announcement, which has attracted both praise and blame.Among those who say he is a good guy is the Global Health Council, lauding him for a 9% increase in the Fiscal Year 2011 budget request to Congress. This is their analysis of how the money is to be parcelled out.The Council is happy that there are increases for maternal and child health and malaria and family planning (Obama lifted the Global Gag or Mexico City rule imposed by Bush which prevented any US funds going to overseas organisations including UN agencies which were prepared even to discuss abortion with women). But other organisations are not happy and foremost among the critics is the formidable Jeff Sachs of Columbia University, who has labelled the budget request a Very Big Disappointment. Read his full comments on the Global Aids Alliance site here. Sachs plays the security card and reproaches the Obama administration:If we invest only four percent of the military spending in the development approach it's going to be a very unhappy world and a very dangerous world for us in terms of health, in terms of poverty, in terms of conflict. I expected better of the administration. This President campaigned with wonderful words pointing out that development was a path to national security but he's not following through in real programmatic terms. It seems a shame if scarcity of cash means Aids has to be played off against maternal health, when both urgently need more money. And US donations to the Global Fund for HIV/Aids, TB and Malaria, which has proven to be a very effective way of channelling donor cash into good disease-figh ホットゲイツ財団のかかとを政府にワクチンやビルアンドメリンダの熱烈な嘆願に100億ドルの寄付金の援助を増やすには、両方の称賛と人の彼はいいやつなんだと言うblame.Amongを集めているオバマ大統領の予算案発表は、付属されグローバル衛生審議会は、平成7年議会は2011年予算の概算要求では、9％増加したために。賞賛する
- Why nearly 9 million small children die every year
Progress has been made on cutting the death toll among children under-5, but a major new study shows that 8.8 million children are still dying and the Millennium Development Goal on child mortality will not be met without more work, particularly among women in childbirth and their babies.Most of the deaths of children under-5 worldwide are from infectious illnesses, with pneumonia (18%) as the leading cause, followed by diarrhoea (15%) and then malaria (8%). This is the conclusion of a major statistical exercise undertaken by Professor Robert Black from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore and colleagues, funded by the WHO and Unicef and published in the Lancet, here.The study is important because it gives us up-to-date information on the numbers of child deaths - 8.8 million under-5s die every year, they say - and the causes. And it is a timely marker. As the authors point out:Achievement of Millennium Development Goal 4, to reduce child mortality by two-thirds, is only possible if the high numbers of deaths are addressed by maternal, newborn, and child health interventions.Some progress has been made in bringing down the numbers of deaths among toddlers and young children, which has meant that the proportion among babies less than 28 days old is now larger than before, at 41% of the total. And this is where the spotlight again shifts to maternity care. Pre-term birth complications account for 12% of all under-5 deaths, birth asphyxia for 9% and sepsis for 6%.To nobody's surprise, Africa has the largest number of deaths, at 4.2 million a year, followed by Asia, with 2.39 million. There were more deaths in older children in Africa than than in southeast Asia, because of HIV and malaria.Almost half of all the deaths under the age of 5 occurred 進捗状況は、歳未満の子供5死亡者数を削減、しかし主要な新しい研究によると880万子供たちがまだ子供の死亡率のミレニアム開発目標を死んでいる行われている多くの作業なしに、特に女性の間で出産に会ったされません子供たちの死の下- 5世界のそのbabies.Mostは伝染病から、肺炎（18％）の主要な原因として、下痢（15％）し、マラリア（8％）続いている

Prof Awa Marie Coll-Seck, executive director of the Roll Back Malaria partnership, will be live online on the Katine Chronicles blog at 1pm (GMT) on Thursday, 4 March, to answer your questions about the fight against the diseaseMillions of dollars are being spent on fighting malaria. But are we any closer to eradicating the disease? And how well are we doing in combating malaria in Africa, which has some of the highest infection and mortality rates in the world?Ahead of World Malaria Day next month, Prof Awa Marie Coll-Seck, executive director of the Roll Back Malaria partnership, will be live online on the Katine Chronicles blog at 1pm (GMT) on Thursday, 4 March, to answer your questions about the fight against the disease.The Roll Back Malaria campaign was launched in 1998 by the World Health Organisation, Unicef, the United Nations Development Programme and the World Bank to promote a coordinated fight against the disease, which accounts for 85% of deaths in children under five.The goal of the partnership is to halve the world's malaria burden by the end of this year. According to the partnership, there are around 247 million cases of malaria each year – 212 million of them occur in Africa. Globally, the disease kills around 881,000 people a year – 801,0000 in Africa.Uganda has the third highest number of deaths from malaria in the world. In Katine, the African Medical and Research Foundation (Amref) has been distributing insecticide treated bednets to families in a bid to prevent infection, but access to the right drugs for treatment is a problem.Coll-Seck is a professor of infectious diseases and an expert in public health and tropical medicine. Before moving to the RBM partnership, she was health minister in Senegal between 2001 and 2003.

- Letters: Homeopaths are outside our remit
Ben Goldacre (Bad science, 27 February) conflates the practice of homeopathy and the regulation of homeopathic products. Since the latter are included in the EU directive on pharmaceuticals, their regulation is not a whim of the MHRA, but a treaty obligation of the UK.Our approach is driven solely by consideration of risk-benefit and the protection of public health. Survey evidence shows that nearly one in 10 of the population have used homeopathy in the preceding year. The health risks of doing so are rather small, provided use is restricted to minor, self-limiting conditions and the products are manufactured to satisfactory quality standards. Registration of the product for marketing is therefore conditional on quality criteria, evidence that the product is indeed a homeopathic product as recognised by homeopaths, and that the labelling does not include any other indication than a minor self-limiting condition.The greatest threat posed by homeopathy is that it may be advocated for the treatment or prevention of serious conditions. In recent years we have removed from the market homeopathic products being promoted for the prevention of malaria and the treatment of cancer. If we did not regulate homeopathic products, we would not have the enforcement powers to intervene in such situations. The MHRA operates within the powers given to it by parliament. These allow us to regulate the marketing of products, not the activities of practitioners or the choices of patients.Professor Kent WoodsChief executive, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory AgencyHomeopathyEuropean Unionguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
