Public health security is a national policy priority (eg., Ministerial mandate, Intelligence Priorities list) and the risk of a skilled immigrant shortage was identified about 20 years ago. So what is preventing IRCC from making family doctor recruitment more of a strategic priority? #strategicmanagement #publichealth #healthsecurity #familydoctors #ircc #immigrantnation #cdnpoli #foresight #policysolutions #leadership #accountability #laborshortage #globaltalent #policypriorities #canada Canadian Medical Association Canadian Association for Global Health #governance #oversight #CIMM #esdc

This is a HOT Topic that is like a third rail; however, I stepped on it anyway. 😬😊 Jen Crow RN, BSN Ever heard of the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium or Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium? Today, we dove deep into the complex world of tribal health consortiums and their legal implications, especially focusing on a recent Alaska State Supreme Court decision that affects how tribal health consortiums operate. The court overturned a 20-year precedent, granting these consortiums a type of sovereign legal immunity that shields them from most civil lawsuits in state courts. This decision is monumental because it means that unless a consortium waives its immunity, they are largely protected from legal challenges.

So the Quebec nation now has the largest proportion of its population without a family doctor compared to Canada. So how does the Quebecois Coalition of Evil's leading member, the CAQ government, respond to this? First, it invokes its hateful language law to restrict access to health care to the nation's non-Quebecois citizens despite warnings that thus could result in terrible outcomes including the death of patients. Or maybe that's their intention. Second, it attacks McGill University, the Quebecois nations leading medical school with disastrous financial effects. Again, maybe this was the goal all along. Third in collaboration with the Coalition's propaganda agents, the Quebecois media, it minimizes press coverage of its heinous actions. Pure evil genius!

The high rates of maternal and infant mortality, especially in eastern Indonesia, still require special attention from the Indonesian government . However, the role of local government in networking with potential partners determines human and city development. TC Hillers Regional General Hospital in Sikka District is a government hospital that has benefited positively from the government's openness to partner support. The hospital's management and clinicians are supported by the Ministry of Health, the Government of Sikka Regency, and USAID Memontum, successfully reducing the neonatal mortality rate by nearly 50% in 2023. This positive outcome deserves to be a learning experience for other regional hospitals in Eastern Indonesia, especially in East Nusa Tenggara. https://lnkd.in/gGgKF5eS

South China Morning Post SCMP has featured a commentary by Dorothy Yeung, MPH and me, titled “Hong Kong people need more than an advance directive for a dignified death”. We highlighted the growing recognition of the importance of providing our loved ones with a peaceful and dignified death in Hong Kong. The government’s efforts to establish a legal framework for advance decisions on life-sustaining treatment, while commendable, represented only the initial step towards this goal. We emphasised the need for Hong Kong to establish a comprehensive and standardised advance care planning (#ACP) framework. Such an approach would enable service providers and family members to bring a holistic view to considering medical, social and personal needs. And Hong Kong should learn from the experience of other places, which introduced territory-wide ACP programmes to normalize conversations, and increase public awareness of its importance. 📍SCMP Opinion ：https://bit.ly/4aJ8yEc #ThinkTank #EndofLifeCare

Dr Minesh Patel, GP and NAPC Non-Executive Director attended the Frimley Health and Care Integrated Care System ‘Inspiring Primary Care Transformation’ event last week to lead two sessions on ‘Population Health and Communities – Integrated Neighbourhood Teams’. Minesh said: “We had a very engaging discussion on population health improvement and making neighbourhood care real, looking at the keys to success including working upstream and the importance of activating teams and activating residents. "We discussed examples of simple upstream interventions around common underlying drivers of health demand such as diabesity and effective and enabling wellbeing interventions such as singing groups, supporting people living with frailty and the impact and ended on the benefits of the group consultations model as a way of engaging and activating people with some examples from my practice. “Frimley is a dynamic ICS with some local challenges, but they realise the importance of improving working lives and are taking positive steps to doing this. They have well established population data and analysis that they are actively using which is really positive. It was great to see Professor Claire Fuller there talking about neighbourhood care and Dr Phil Wallek, one of the Primary Care Home leaders from Lewes also talking about the importance on real team working and benefits of demand and capacity planning around keeping well.” There are some examples of case studies focusing on population health improvement on the NAPC website: https://lnkd.in/daqyuCSP
