Zimbabwe Health System In Jeopardy

 

Zimbabwe’s deepening economic crisis is severely affecting the government’s ability to fund public health delivery and restricting poor people’s access to health care, economists, government officials and health experts agree.

The economy had shown signs of modest improvement under the government of national unity (GNU) between 2009 and 2013, when President Robert Mugabe and his long-ruling ZANU-PF party shared power with the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). But industry has been performing poorly and company closures have picked up since ZANU-PF won general elections in July 2013.

Ebola Still Active But Huge Distinction Remains

 

While Ebola treatment and containment efforts are gradually gaining pace in Sierra Leone and Liberia, there are still far too few health workers, contact tracers and community monitors on the ground to keep up with the disease's spread, particularly in urban areas, say Health Ministry staff and aid workers.

"It's hard for us to cut transmission rates," Liberia's Assistant Health Minister Tolbert Nyensuah told IRIN. "Most of the hospitals in Monrovia are still not fully operational. More community surveillance is needed. We don't have it right yet."

Fighting Resumes in Gaza and Humanitarian Emergency Declared

 

The three-day ceasefire between Israel and Gaza has ended, with reports of 21 rockets being fired over the border from Hamas militants.

Israel has responded in turn, with an airstrike on Gaza.

A statement from the Israel military confirms: "Following renewed rocket launching at Israel, the IDF (Israel Defence Forces) targeted terror sites across the Gaza strip."

War and Peace in Northern Mali

 

Continued violence in northern Mali which saw three separatist rebel groups retake control of much of the north, has put peace talks set for August, and the July roadmap to peace signed by rebel groups and the Malian government, on shaky ground.

Xbox One to launch in China in September

Microsoft will launch its Xbox One games console in China in September, becoming the first foreign firm to sell consoles there since a ban was lifted earlier this year.

China had banned games consoles in 2000, citing their adverse effect on the mental health of its youth, but the government lifted the prohibition in January opening the world's third-biggest gaming market to the devices.
