    A tragedy & a travesty; appalling ‘Labor govt’ behaviour - thought it (unemployment ’benefit’) was going to be raised after the Covid experiment; shame on us for taking our eyes off that ball too. And now we’ve got the Reserve Bank using ‘the unemployed’ like an inflation football that’s supposedly going to ginger up the rest of the economy… How? By decreasing the most needed ‘working age’ or labour force part of the population demographic? This really does not make sense.

    TITLE: This “rare” autism-linked genetic disorder may be far more common than scientists thought

    URL: sciencedaily.com/releases/2026

    A major analysis suggests Phelan-McDermid syndrome, a genetic disorder closely linked to autism, may affect about 1 in 7,300 people and more than 45,000 Americans. Researchers warn that thousands of cases may remain hidden because genetic testing is often not performed, even as targeted treatments move into clinical trials.

  5. Another ‘how to do it’ good news public health story, for the US & other countries to learn from *if they want to*: “Egypt eliminated hepatitis C for a cost to the government of roughly $45 per person treated. The United States plan costs more than 10 times that per person and takes 5 times as long. The gap reflects a fragmented insurance system, uneven Medicaid coverage, restrictive prior authorization and the absence of a national setup that connects screening, confirmation and treatment in one visit.

    “The results from Taiwan show that an effective health system and a modest budget can push hepatitis C to the edge of extinction in five years. It confirms that the seven steps in our roadmap describe not a theory but a working plan. It has already been tested in Egypt, Georgia and Pakistan, and is now being tested in central Taiwan. What is missing in the United States is not the science. It is the decision to build one connected system, pay for it and finish the job.”

  17. Not all patients face the same risks—so why treat them the same? 🧠
    In value-based care, risk stratification isn’t optional—it’s essential.

    In our latest blog, we break down how healthcare organizations can identify high-risk patients early, personalize interventions, and improve both outcomes and cost-efficiency.

    🔍 Learn how to operationalize risk stratification for smarter, more proactive care:

  25. Hi all,

    Dr. Doreen Montag, Senior Lecturer in Global Public Health at Queen Mary University of London, asked me to circulate this call for abstracts from those interested in presenting at a workshop on An Eco-health Approach to Iron-Deficiency Anemia (IDA) in the context of climate change on March 27, from 2-4 pm. I've attached the circular, but the gist is that possible areas may include food insecurity due to climate change/biodiversity loss, indigenous knowledge, urbanization and sanitation, deteriorating ecosystems and gut microbiota and various others.
