Afghanistan

Afghanistan remains one of the most dangerous and most violent, crisis-ridden countries in the world., jump to country, relief efforts in afghanistan.

Poverty is deeply entrenched in Afghanistan. This can be attributed in part to the country’s physical isolation, rugged terrain and often har s h climate; to underlying cultural norms, especially with regard to the rights of women; and to its recurring history of conflict, insecurity and outside interference.   

Afghanistan’s poverty profile is further shaped by marked disparities between rural and urban areas , sustained population growth, extremely low levels of female participation in the work force, and the overwhelming prevalence of vulnerable forms of employment in informal and low-productivity jobs.   

Afghanistan remains one of the most dangerous and most v i olent, crisis-ridden countrie s in the world. There is persistent deepening and geographic spread of conflict. There are also regular violations of International Law and Human Rights. The security situation in Afghanistan continued to deteriorate in August 2021 when the country experienced a change in power and many feared that hard-won development gains, particularly for women and girls, would disappear.

CARE first established its mission in Afghanistan in 1961, but suspended activities after the Russian invasion of 1979. Resuming activities in 1989 f rom  a new base in Peshawar, Pakistan, CARE delivered assistance to Afghanistan from across the border until 2002 when it shifted its main office back to Kabul.   

CARE Afghanistan has developed three programs:  

• Women’s & girls’ empowerment  
• Enhanced resilience  
• Humanitarian action  

Each program sets out to contribute to significant and lasting change for socially and economically vulnerable  women and girls who are lacking access to essential services. These programs focus largely on Sexual, Reproductive and Maternal Health, Food Security and Liv eli hoods , Women’s Economic Empowerment, Inclusive Governance, Education and Emergency Response.   

URGENT: AFGHANISTAN EMERGENCY

The need in Afghanistan is overwhelming and continues to grow. As conflict escalated in 2021 and families fled their homes for safety, millions are running out of food.

At CARE Travel, we work together as your team of travel designers. You do not have just one designer you have an entire team of highly skilled and organized professionals, overlooking your thoughtfully created travel itinerary.  

We are a family, and take pride in our relationship with you and passionate about your personal experiences not only with our team, but in destination.

Community Care travel Team and Primary Care: The CCTT concept is based on extensive research showing that self-management, group visits and integration of the telephone into the care program work to:

• Diminish patient symptoms
• Enhance patient activity
• Increase patient independence
• Encourage patients to take a more proactive role in their care

In addition to the benefits experienced by chronically ill patients, offering the CCTT in a physician’s practice provides the capability to:

• Decrease healthcare costs

• Reduce the number of prescriptions filled
• Reduce the annual number of office visits
• Reduce the number of unique providers involved in patient care
• Decrease hospital stays
• Decrease frequent emergency department and urgent care visits

Meet one of our proud Travel Nurses, Kristina Baber:

I started with Fresenius Travel Jan 2018, and it has been the best decision I’ve ever made. My first assignment was in Atlanta, GA where I was actually cross-trained into Acutes. I was in Atlanta for 5 months and learned a lot and met so many people!

My next assignment was in Hawaii, which I was at the Hilo clinic for 3 months, and then went to the Lanai clinic for 3 months. Hawaii was an amazing experience and I can’t wait to go back! I’m on an 11 month float assignment in WA now and continue to learn and grow in my nursing every day. I enjoy helping each clinic I go to and learning the different cultures of each area.

Oregon Rural Practice-based Research Network

Orprn team members travel to napcrg pbrn conference.

Several ORPRN team members flew to Reston, VA in June to present at the annual North American Primary Care Research Group (NAPCRG) Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN) Conference. The Conference is an opportunity to network and share learning with PBRNs from around the world. Conference planning is supported by ORPRN Director, Melinda Davis, who serves on the NAPCRG PBRN Steering Committee.  

ORPRN presented posters and plenary sessions and participated in panel discussions over the two day conference. Nine conference sessions highlighted work occurring at ORPRN, including the following:  

• “Enrolling Diverse Participants Patients in PBRN Clinical Research Studies” Presented by Caitlin Dickinson, M.P.H.; Cristina Garcia Toche, B.S.; Laura Ferrara, C.C.R.P. 
• “Strategies for successful implementation of rural Community Advisory Boards” Presented by Chrystal Barnes, M.P.H.; NithyaPriya Ramalingam, Ph.D.; Maggie McDonnell, M.P.H.; Melinda Davis, Ph.D.; MCR; Brittany Badicke, M.P.H.; Mary Patzel, M.B.A.; Emily Myers, M.P.H.; Alex Moore, M.P.H.; Laura Campbell, M.B.A., M.P.H. 
• “Identifying Difference-Makers to Implementation Success in Year-1 of a Colorectal Cancer Screening Program in Rural Clinics” Presented by Amanda Petrik, Ph.D.; Brittany Badicke, M.P.H.; Edward Miech, Ed.D.; Jennifer Coury, M.A.; Erin Kenzie, Ph.D.; Jennifer Schneider, M.D,; Anna Edelmann, M.S.; Anders Herreid-O'Neill, M.A.; Gloria Coronado, Ph.D.; Robert Durr, M.P.H.; Melinda Davis, PhD 

ORPRN team members also engaged with partners involved in the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA) PBRN initiative and met with PBRN colleagues from the US and Canada who are engaged in the Meta-network Learning and Research Center (Meta-LARC). Notably this year, the PBRN conference was attended by funding partners at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) who sponsor the annual meeting as well as multiple leaders from the National Institute of Health who are advancing initiatives to create a national primary care research network titled: Communities Advancing Research Equity for Health (CARE for Health TM ).

What do I do if I need to go to a hospital on holiday?

You never know when you may need the nearest emergency department while travelling. As a Cover-More policyholder, here’s your checklist for what to do if you need to go to a hospital during your trip — and how we can help.

Source: Getty

When we picture our dream holiday (think: exploring the ancient ruins in Greece or cycling through charming country towns in France ), we may not spare a thought for a trip to the hospital while abroad.

But whether you get extremely sick during your time in Greece or break a leg while cycling in Nice, unexpected emergencies can come up — even amidst the excitement of exploring new destinations.

If you have an urgent medical concern that needs immediate treatment and is too severe to be treated at a doctor’s office or clinic, you’ll find yourself looking for the nearest emergency department at your holiday destination — and fast.

Here’s the plus side of being a Cover-More policyholder: Your policy doesn’t just offer you coverage from certain unexpected expenses — it also comes with 24/7 travel assistance. This means we can help you figure out how to go to a hospital overseas and how to handle your tourist emergency hospital bill.  

“It can be stressful dealing with a health issue that requires you to go to a hospital — let alone navigating care at an international hospital in a foreign country — when you should be enjoying your trip. “Our expert team is here to support you around the clock, ensuring you get necessary medical attention without delay. Yes, with just a tap in our Cover-More App, you can instantly connect with our emergency assistance team. “Plus, our combination of award-winning customer service and innovative technology means you're never alone, allowing you to concentrate on your recovery and lean on us for help.” Neil Slabbert, Cover-More’s Regional Chief Medical Officer for APAC.

In this guide, we explore the steps to take before, during, and after you're treated at an international hospital during your travels. With support from our Cover-More team, you'll be better equipped to handle hospital visits with more confidence. This means you can start the road to recovery sooner and continue enjoying your trip if it’s safe and healthy to do so.

Need our help right now? You can reach our emergency assistance team anytime, anywhere. Here’s how: Tap the assistance button in our Cover-More App . Call +61 2 8907 5619 from anywhere in the world.

5 steps to take if you need to go to a hospital overseas:

• Get in touch with our 24/7 emergency assistance team.
• Find the nearest emergency department with help from our travel assistance team.
• Let our emergency assistance team help you during your care.
• Save all medical records, reports, and receipts.
• File a travel insurance claim for your hospital visit.

Here’s what to do if you need to visit an international hospital during your travels 

Step 1: get in touch with our 24/7 emergency assistance team..

When you have a medical emergency, you’ll want to get to a hospital quickly. Instead of fumbling with your maps app trying to find the nearest hospital, you can reach out to our emergency assistance team.

We have a range of trained nurses, paramedics, and medical case workers ready to take your call and go over your symptoms and/or situation, which can help them find the nearest hospital that can provide you with the treatment you need.

Step 2: Go to the nearest emergency department suggested by our travel assistance team.

After you’ve called our 24/7 emergency assistance team and they’ve helped you find the nearest — and most suitable — hospital nearby, they may also be able to help you find the best way to get there.

If you’re not well enough to make your own way there, we can help arrange for an ambulance to pick you up.

Why can you trust our Cover-More team’s hospital recommendations? As an assistance specialist, our team has its own network of quality providers. This means we can easily locate the best and nearest emergency departments in your destination, so you can feel relieved knowing you’re going to a trusted hospital.

Step 3: Let our emergency assistance team help you during your care.

Our support doesn’t stop once we help you find and get to your international hospital; we’re here for you during your entire treatment journey.

Our emergency assistance team can help coordinate your medical care with the hospital doctors, arrange translation if you don’t speak the staff’s native language, transfer your medical records, and more. Whether you need help with prescription medications or the logistics of a hospital transfer, we’re ready to step in, so give us a call whenever you need.  

Step 4: Save all medical records, reports, and receipts.

Here’s a crucial thing to know before you go on a trip in case you end up going to a hospital during your travels: keep all documentation you receive. This goes for all types of unexpected events, actually!

Why? When you're ready to make a claim, we need you to show us what happened and what it cost you. The more documentation you can share with us — like medical records, discharge paperwork, and your tourist emergency hospital bill — the easier it is for us to try to reimburse your unforeseen expenses.

Step 5: File a travel insurance claim for your hospital visit.

Ready to take some pressure off your out-of-pocket costs? If necessary — and once you’re able — you can submit a claim for your trip to the hospital. Just remember to file your claim within 60 days of returning home!

Because you’re a Cover-More customer, there’s less reason to worry if you need to go to a hospital for a serious illness or injury that suddenly comes up during your holiday. Generally, we can help cover the cost of your visit (up to the benefit limit on your policy for approved claims).

Plus, if the doctor gives you a prescription or recommends you buy medicine, make sure you file a claim with the receipts. That way, we might be able to help reimburse you for those extra costs, too.

Once you’ve put together all your medical paperwork, it’s easy to file a claim online at any time or call our claims team on 1300 36 26 44.

Important: You may assume Medicare or your private health insurance will have your back for any medical bills abroad, but that’s not always the case. As a Cover-More customer, you can worry less knowing that our international plans come with unlimited cover for unexpected overseas medical expenses. This benefit can take some “ouch” out of your unexpected international hospital costs and may help reimburse unforeseen expenses from your emergency treatment. We're here to help cover those unwelcome surprises so you can focus on feeling better — rather than on your medical bills.

ACT budget invests almost $58 million in children's health services, including for new paediatric critical care team

Megan Beit's son Jon has spinal muscular atrophy – a condition which sees the muscles involved in movement progressively weaken and become wasted over time.

Because the specialists he needs to see regularly aren't available in Canberra, the family moved from the ACT to Bywong – near Lake George – to be closer to Sydney.

"We have to travel quite a lot," Ms Beit said.

"We've got two other children, so having to make sure they're cared for, the house is cared for, the animals are looked after whenever we have to go and travel – and it costs money every time we go to Sydney.

"Quite frankly it uproots our life every time.

"We've got to plan who's staying, if someone's staying at the hospital with him or in a hotel nearby, food — all of those things."

The Beit family have stayed at Ronald McDonald House in Sydney, where they say they often meet other families from the Canberra region.

"We all have the same story really: that we have to travel, that we have to do all of these things because we can't do it in our home city," Ms Beit said.

"We didn't realise how much we'd needed to be in Sydney, and we had to have the conversation about whether we move to Sydney or not.

"Ultimately we made the decision not to, because all of our roots are [in Canberra].

"But being a capital city we expected that some of that 'gold standard' treatment would be available here – and it's just not."

The ACT government argues Canberra's population simply isn't big enough to provide enough patients to make it a viable location for many paediatric specialists to practice.

A liaison service has already been established to help coordinate services and supports for families who need to travel interstate for treatment . 

'Starting to build more of those services here': Health Minister

Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith said the ACT budget, released today, includes an additional $58 million for paediatric inpatient care and community-based services.

Along with eight new paediatric beds at the Canberra Hospital, the funding will also go towards establishing a new paediatric critical care team.

"[The team will] be a bit of a bridge between what our teams are currently able to do and those children who need to be transferred to Sydney to provide that higher level of care for critically ill children," Ms Stephen-Smith said.

"We simply don't have the population here in the ACT and surrounding region to support a full paediatric intensive care unit.

"But we do know that we need to be able to support children who are deteriorating or in need of critical care at a higher level than we have been able to up until this point."

About $2 million will go towards expanding rehabilitation services for children with complex and chronic conditions, where care is shared between services in Canberra and interstate hospitals.

"We often see that children are delayed in their return from Sydney when they've had to receive that critical care for an illness or major trauma because there haven't been paediatric rehabilitation services in the ACT," Ms Stephen-Smith said.

"So this is the step towards starting to build more of those services here."

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Special Care Nursery will receive $18 million for additional cots and the government also intends to set up a new location for community based paediatric services so families don't need to go into a hospital setting for treatment.

"That's part of listening to the community including through the kids interstate care project we did with the Health Care Consumers' Association some years ago, and we've continued to invest in the recommendations from that review," Ms Stephen Smith said.

While these measures mean Jon will still need to go to Sydney for treatment at least some of the time, Ms Beit said even small improvements would count.

"Even one trip not going to Sydney is a good thing for us," Ms Beit said.

"I think that other families as well will find that even that small amount of support can go a long way."

Election latest: Labour to unveil celebrity endorsements at major campaign rally - as Farage told to 'get a grip' on party

Labour is due to hold a major rally in London shortly as the general election campaign enters the final days. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage has been told to "get a grip" on his party amid a vast racism row.

837 miles. That is, officially at least, the distance the Lib Dem bus will travel on its final campaign push from John O'Groats in the North East of Scotland, to Land's End on the tip of Cornwall.

Add in several daily campaign stops (and, insists our producer Katy, the fact that she and a hardcore crew rode the bus all the way up from London), and the total distance will be considerably more.

Nor is it simply another Lib Dem gimmick. Both John O'Groats and Land's End are in constituencies the party are very much targeting at this election.

What's instructive, though, are the stops they have planned in-between.

It's been a busy start to the trip, with four stops in Scotland alone. A mixture of seats the party is defending, and those it hopes to take from the SNP.

But once we leave Edinburgh tonight, we drive for several hours without stopping, until we reach the South West of England.

And not by accident. Even the most generous polls only have the Lib Dems gaining 6 seats across the whole of the North of England and the Midlands.

This is a highly targeted campaign. The strategy is to focus on areas where the party has historical strength, and where it has recently come second, primarily to the Conservatives.

And of approximately 85 such seats, 69 are in the South West, South East and London.

It is there that the Lib Dem campaign will succeed or fail. And it is there that we will spend the last precious few days left to campaign.

No doubt with the occasional stunt thrown in for good measure. 

Pledges and promises are coming thick and fast from every party as the general election approaches. 

Struggling to keep up with who is saying what?

Here is a summary of where the main parties stand on major issues.

The Welsh electorate has travelled in one direction for the last 100 years.

Labour always win more votes and seats than their rivals in Wales but, floating our parliamentary bench on a barge across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, we discover not everything is as tranquil as it seems in this stunning beauty spot.

The 20mph speed limit, wind farms and waiting times on the NHS are all matters raised by people who are not happy with Labour's record in the Senedd.

The first person we meet is Reuben Jones, who works at the local barge hire company adjacent to the aqueduct.

"I'm a transgender person," says Reuben. "I'm very unhappy with the state of the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts at the moment. There are a lot of issues with the education system, a lot of problems with the health care system."

Our live poll tracker collates the results of opinion surveys carried out by all the main polling organisations - and allows you to see how the political parties are performing in the run-up to the general election.

With under a week to go, the Tories and Labour have taken a drop, while support for Reform UK and the Liberal Democrats is on the rise.

First Minister of Scotland John Swinney has joined criticism of "racist and homophobic comments" allegedly made by Reform UK campaigners.

Despite this, he said they are "not a surprise to me".

Mr Swinney, also the leader of the SNP, said: "I think this is where the politics of Reform ends up and I deplore it. I deprecate it. I want nothing to do with it. 

"We will always rail against racist and homophobic comments, and I can't believe that there's a single thing Nigel Farage can do to control a problem that he himself has started."

The SNP leader goes on to claim that this is not a case of bad apples, but "an ingrained problem of Reform".

He says: "Nigel Farage has set this all up. He has stoked it all.

"With every word over all these years, he has incited all that intolerance and prejudice in our society. 

"I want to have nothing to do with it. 

"And I don't think there's anything Nigel Farage can do to stop it, because he created it."

Reform UK has reported Channel 4 to the elections watchdog for alleged "scandalous... interference" over what the party claims was a fake rant planted by the broadcaster.

Footage from an undercover Channel 4 reporter showed Reform campaigner Andrew Parker using a discriminatory term about the prime minister, as well as saying the army should "just shoot" migrants crossing the Channel.

Police are now assessing the comments to establish if an offence has been committed, while Mr Sunak  said the insult directed at him "hurts and it makes me angry".

Mr Farage, the leader of Reform UK, has since suggested that Channel 4 may have paid an actor to make racist comments about the prime minister, posing as a canvasser for Reform.

In a letter to the Electoral Commission, party secretary and leading barrister Adam Richardson claimed that "Mr Parker is not a property developer as he has alleged but a jobbing actor".

He added it was "entirely evident that Mr Parker was a plant within the Channel 4 news piece". 

The letter said: "It is wholly unbelievable that by complete coincidence Channel 4 were performing an undercover investigation and by chance were paired up to go canvassing with a man who was pretending to be someone else, using a false voice and saying almost exclusively racist and bigoted remarks."

Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, has said he is refusing to appear on Laura Kuenssberg's Sunday morning politics show until the BBC apologise for a "dishonest" audience.  

He claimed this audience existed during his appearance on Question Time.

Mr Farage says: "I have just been invited to appear on Laura Kuenssberg. 

"I'm refusing until the BBC apologises for their dishonest QT audience. 

"Our state broadcaster has behaved like a political actor throughout this election. 

"Reform will be campaigning vigorously to abolish the license fee."

Sir Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats, has insisted that his party shares "no values with Nigel Farage" in the wake of a new racism row.

It comes after Mr Farage, the leader of Reform UK, suggested that Channel 4 may have paid an actor to make racist comments about the prime minister, posing as a canvasser for Reform.

Sir Ed says: "Liberal Democrats share no values with Mr. Farage. He can sort himself out. My job as a Liberal Democrat leader is to tell you what we're about. 

"I want to fight a positive campaign about how we rescue our NHS and make sure we get the investment in health and care. Make sure we sort out the cost of living problems that people are really suffering under, and deal with things like the environmental issues, like sewage. 

"You know, and I think people get fed up in this campaign when there's all these diversions and nastiness. They want to know what you're going to do for them. 

"And that's what the Liberal Democrats are going to say."

Reform UK has withdrawn support from three of its candidates, the party has confirmed.

Nigel Farage's party is no longer backing Edward Oakenfull, Robert Lomas, and Leslie Lilley - who were all previously candidates for Reform.

Mr Oakenfull reportedly penned social media posts about the IQ of sub-Saharan Africans - which he told the BBC were "taken out of context".

Meanwhile, Mr Lomas allegedly said black people should "get off [their] lazy arses" and stop acting "like savages".

Ms Lilley is accused of describing people arriving on small boats as "scum".

The candidates will remain on the ballot paper, but are no longer endorsed by Reform UK.

It comes as Sky News identified two additional Reform UK parliamentary candidates who shared material deemed "vile" and in breach of the internationally-recognised definition of antisemitism.

The Archbishop of Canterbury urged people to avoid "personalised abuse" in the closing stages of the election campaign as he encouraged voters to go to the ballot box.

The Most Reverend Justin Welby said: "In these last few days before the election, let us pray for all candidates taking part in this most essential act of democracy.

"Let us encourage courteous and kind debate and not use personalised abuse.

"Let us carefully consider issues and the common good, and above all vote."
