UNITED NATIONS, Aug 9 2006 (IPS) – In the last two decades, the number of people suffering from diabetes has increased almost seven-fold, straining health care systems around the world and leaving millions of families to struggle with the emotional and financial drain of a chronic disease.
Fearing that the pandemic will only get worse, diabetes advocacy groups have joined together in a global campaign called Unite for Diabetes that is seeking a U.N. resolution to declare Nov. 14, 2007 World Diabetes Day .

The campaign aims to empower and educate the estimated 230 million people with diabetes about the importance of self-management of the disease to avoid further disability, and to urge governments to promote cost-effective strategies to both prevent …

BELGRADE, Sep 11 2006 (IPS) – Serbian health authorities have finally confirmed what was long suspected the nation tops the list in Europe for lung cancers.
Lung cancer is caused in 80 percent of cases by heavy smoking, and usually proves fatal.

Some 30,000 new cases of cancer are discovered in Serbia each year, and of that number 5,200 are lung cancers, Serbian Health Minister Tomica Milosavljevic told reporters.

This has brought us to the top among European nations. We ll do everything in our power to define smoking as socially unacceptable and cut the number of smokers by half by 2015, he added.

Experts say this will be a daunting task in the nation of 7.5 million, where smoking is a long tradition and where one in two people …

BROOKLIN, Canada, Oct 5 2006 (IPS) – Rising tides of untreated sewage and plastic debris are seriously threatening marine life and habitat around the globe, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) warned in a report Wednesday.
The number of ocean dead zones has grown from 150 in 2004 to about 200 today, said Nick Nuttall, a UNEP spokesperson.

These are becoming more common in developing countries, Nuttall told IPS from Nairobi, Kenya.

Dead zones can encompass areas of ocean 100,000 square kms in size where little can live because there is no oxygen left in the water. Nitrogen pollution, mainly from farm fertilisers and sewage, produces blooms of algae that absorb all of the oxygen in the water.

Growing global populations, mainly …

BANGKOK, Nov 12 2006 (IPS) – Ahead of World Diabetes Day, marked on Nov. 14, a leading British medical journal has issued a grim warning to Asian countries. Type-2 diabetes among the region s children has reached epidemic levels, says a paper published in The Lancet.
The onset of type-2 diabetes in younger age-groups is likely to result in major economic burdens for countries in Asia due to premature ill health and death, it says. People in Asia tend to develop diabetes with a lesser degree of obesity at younger age, suffer longer with complications of diabetes, and die sooner than people in other regions.

Type-2 diabetes is as troubling among the continent s adults, notes the paper, whose principle writer is Prof. Kun-Ho Yoon, a South Korean d…

BROOKLIN, Canada, Dec 7 2006 (IPS) – While world attention has focused on the HIV/AIDS pandemic, public health experts say that U.S. political interference and declining financial support for family planning, abortion and prevention of other sexually transmitted infections has contributed to shockingly high death and disability rates in developing countries.
Approximately 500,000 women die each year of causes related to pregnancy, abortion and childbirth, 99 percent of them in developing countries, according to the World Health Organisation.

These deaths would not be tolerated in other circumstances, says Dorothy Shaw, senior associate dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia in Canada.

Countries are failing in their…

MOSCOW, Jan 26 2007 (IPS) – Health NGOs and experts are accusing Russia s health and social development ministry of endangering the lives of tens of thousands of infected Russians by altering the list of anti-retroviral drugs the government plans to buy this year.
The activists and experts say government officials surreptitiously replaced cheaper, more effective drugs with more expensive, less effective medications. They allege that negligence and corruption might be behind the changes in the deal.

In a decree, the health ministry quietly replaced some of the so-called first-line drugs -for patients who have not been undergoing treatment for very long with third-line and fourth-line drugs designed for patients who have had the virus for years and …
