Burnham urged to ditch dangerous #UK-US NHS #drug deal
#Burnham urged to scrap the UK-US trade deal on #medicines as #health organisations and #doctors’ groups warn it is dangerous and prioritises #pharmaceutical company profits over the lives of #NHS #patients
Health groups call on expected next PM to rip up agreement, which analysis suggests could lead to 229,000 excess deaths by 2036

Starmer's legacy there, about as bad as Boris Johnson for the death count.
See what bending the knee to fascists gets you.
"The NHS will have to divert £45bn from essential services to pay for new medicines under the terms of the UK-US trade deal agreed last December, leading to more than 200,000 avoidable deaths of patients, analysis has found."

National Nurses United in #USA demands end to the US blockade of fuel entering Cuba
from #NationalNursesUnited (on FB)
#Nurses save lives! That's why we're in D.C. demanding the #US end the #blockade of fuel entering #Cuba. This is fuel that powers water pumps and #hospitals that 11 million people depend on. Surgeries postponed. Essential #medicines gone. Infant mortality doubled. Enough!

Video - How U.S. Sanctions Affect Pregnant Women and Newborns in Cuba
https://peertube.world/w/cx4rvNyGxnwWSDXone8A2M
Duration - 1:23[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
In recent days, #Cuban civil society organizations have denounced the devastating impact of the #US government’s economic war on the Cuban people.
Dr. Dayana Couto Núñez, president of the Cuban Society of #Gynecology and #Obstetrics, says shortages of medicines, medical supplies, technology and fuel are affecting surgeries, ultrasounds, diagnostic tests and maternal care.
According to Couto, the situation is making it harder to detect congenital malformations early and to care for premature and low-birth-weight babies, who often require specialized medication and high-tech equipment.
“Neither our women nor our children are to blame,” she said. “They need #medical care, #medicines and quality resources.”

From Nature Canada on Bluesky:
#Biodiversity is not something distant or abstract. It is a part of us, and we are a part of it. It provides the food we eat, the air we breathe, the #climate that sustains us, and the medicines we rely on every day.

RE: https://fediscience.org/@petergleick/116581005455443294
When these #fascists/#eugenicists get ill, they should be deprived of the #medicines that have been developed because of the #scientific research that they are so committed to eviscerating.

"In the years since Deacon’s efforts helped to pressure the #Government into legalising #medical #cannabis in the #UK, only a handful of others have been able to enjoy the same access as Alfie. According to the #NHS Business Service Authority, a total of 89,239 #prescriptions for unlicensed cannabis #medicines were issued between November 2018 & July 2022, but fewer than 5 of these prescriptions were issued by the NHS. The rest have had to go #private."

@ireneista @JessTheUnstill Alright! Hopefully last ping (unless further questions idk)
1. https://www.thevillagepharmacy.ca/organize-your-medications
2. https://medicineshoppeelbow.ca/medication-management/So! I was ignoring the phrase 'blister packs' because I was thinking of the sheets you get in any medication box.
No, apparently.
(Canadian, at least) pharmacies refer to "personalised pill packs" as blister packs.
