  1. To improve children’s mental health, start by supporting their parents

    Long-term data shows children are more likely to develop mental health issues when their parents experience financial stress and housing instability

  2. Pharmacist Vreeswijk in Nieuwegein (in the Netherlands) puts the Bible first. He refuses to dispense medication such as contraceptives, as well as medication for gender dysphoria and hormone treatments.

    In my view, he should be removed from his post immediately. Healthcare is supposed to be neutral.

  3. Severe thunderstorms produced giant hail up to 11.4 cm (4.5 inches), damaging winds, power outages, and road blockages across parts of Texas on May 10 and 11, 2026

  4. ...they arbitrarily removed Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya's name from the list of #hostages to be released in the terms of the oct25 bs #ceasefiredeal, and without explaination....but we know they did it because he is now an international symbol of their crimes against #palestine, its people, #doctors, #hospitals, and #healtcare systems...and they dont want any kind of symbolic or real gestures that constitute a "win" against them for #palestinians or #humanity at large...

  5. BREAKING: The new head of the CDC has no training in medicine.

    In unrelated news, Trump hand picked Jim O’Neill, a former investor and critic of health regulations, to help the American healthcare system grind to a halt.

  6. The baby boomer demographic bomb in action:

    cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswi

    "Government reports dating back more than 30 years warned that an aging New Brunswick population required a shift to more home care."

    Just like climate change, they could see it coming and did nothing. The question is, will other provinces do any better? Somehow I doubt it...

  7. The far-right Finnish minister for health said recently that Finland needs immigration to replace the nurses that are going to massively retire in 10-ish years (25% of them).

    At the same time, there are plenty of young nurses who give up and start another kind of job, because the work conditions in health care are terrible.

    So it seems that the far-right would rather accept immigrants than spend more money to improve the work conditions.

  8. #MAGA #Republican #Senator #Roger #Marshall
    in anticipation of the cuts they will make to #Healtcare
    suggests to all those with 'pre-existing conditions' that the solution is to....
    'eat better'.

    Here you are
    this is the MAGA 'plan' to eliminate and 'replace' #Medicare.
    #Trump had said that 'it would have been 'much better'
    'eat better'

    happy?

  9. In a different context a friend pointed me to the trailer of the Six Million Dollar Man: youtube.com/watch?v=9pUaeLtXM_

    My thought: In the current state of the U.S. healthcare system this would barely suffice for an ambulance and a dose of Aspirin.

  10. This is what some privileged ass people think about masking... they think the "feeling" of medical professionals & individuals enabling eugenics are more important than actual humans & their physical safety. #covid #longcovid #maskup #covid19 #disability #healtcare #medsky #politics #news

  11. Why are you struggling with book sales and low reviews? Let's tackle these common challenges together.

    - *Poor marketing and promotion*
    - *Insufficient online presence*
    - *Lack of engagement with target audience*
    - *Inadequate editing and formatting*
    - *Unappealing cover design*
    - *Ineffective book blurb and synopsis*
    - *Limited distribution channels*
    - *Insufficient reviews and testimonials*

  12. Make capitalists afraid again
    ⛧ Deny Defend Depose ⛧
    Anti Commerciële Actie Beweging

    ‘Health insurance is the biggest scam, yet so many people are in medical debt while a handful of CEOs and shareholders profit from people’s sickness and disability. Shameful stuff.’

    “Deny, defend, depose” is the anticapitalist “live, laugh, love”.

  13. Net terug uit Den Haag waar we een inspiratievolle meeting hebben gehad met de Diaspora van #Afghanistan in het The Haque Centre of Public Affairs aan de Lange Voorhout. Hoog opgeleide Afghanen die al veel voor hun land betekenen. Artsen en chirurgen. Onderzoekers en vrijwilligers. We starten nu met de stichtingen een gezamenlijke actie met een gezamenlijk campagne omdat samenkracht helpt je doel te bereiken. #zorg #zwangerschap #healtcare (stichting Rescue Mother and Child Afghanistan (RMCA))

  14. Fantastic use of state funds. Such a simple idea with immense public and social benefits. We need more of this across the globe!

    nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM

    Such trials are only possible if state funding bodies are willing to identify the principal 'stakeholder' in public-health as the public; and not some abstract notion of market efficiency (which in most cases is tied to corporate profits). Alas.

    Well, when it comes to healthcare, the USA is definitely a developing country.

    404media.co/people-in-the-phil

    But yes, since 2020 the global supply chains have hit us all, it's funny to learn that these 15 different brands of generics all are produced from one source of precursor from one chemical plant in China. We call that a single point of failure.

    Anyway. That's how modern countries react to patients needing to find pharmacies stocking medicines.

  16. @AnnPettifor warns that Wes Streeting (and Labour)'s plans are a clear & present danger for the NHS:

    1. Any privatisation of all/part os the NHS will be costly to both users & the state;

    2. it will have negative health outcomes;

    3. the ripple effects of the expansion of debts by private equity to accomplish such expansion of privatised healthcare are themselves destabilising.

    Streeting is masking his real intent by claiming 'pragmatism'!

  17. A collapsing #healthcare system is Ontario’s real ‘new normal’

    tvo.org/article/a-collapsing-h

    "OPINION: The biggest takeaway from the auditor general’s report? Our hospitals are in deep trouble."

  18. At the beginning of the #COVID-19 pandemic, many nurses and doctors infected themselves. Many of them died from it.
    It is very difficult to absorb this. We currently have forty vacancies in nursing. Forty!
    #healtcare

  19. @mojo can we please stop calling decriminalisation of drug *usage*, like it was done in #Portugal, a #radical policy? It was not researched, propose or implemented by radical politicians, it was actually quite mainstream here.

    In fact, it's simply a #rational, #just and #human #healtcare policy.

  20. The Minden ER closure is a warning for us all
    tvo.org/article/the-minden-er-
    "OPINION: Whether you live there or not, you should be paying attention. What’s happening in Minden speaks to the broader state of our health-care system."

  21. Opinion | Health insurance makes many kinds of hospital care more expensive - The Washington Post
    archive.ph/qZTql

    "This finding, which is based on pricing information that hospitals have been compelled to provide under the national Hospital Price Transparency Rule, contradicts the conventional wisdom that insurers use their bargaining power to drive prices down."
