The global gag rule does not stop abortions. It does the opposite.

June 28, 2019 by Kerean Watts Leave a Comment

New research shows that a US Republican policy is increasing rates of abortion by forty percent in 26 African countries. It is a bitter irony that the policy is designed to starve NGOS which offer advice on abortion or help for policymakers in making evidence-based decisions about abortion services.  “Decisions made in Washington DC have … [Read more...] about The global gag rule does not stop abortions.

Anti-vaccination conspiracy theories, however, pose a threat to children and vulnerable adults around the world. Speculation about nefarious plots veer from the plausible to the … [Read more...] about Anti-vaccination movement show the damage conspiracy theories can do

Brexit uncertainty, blocking both medicines and migrants?

May 12, 2018 by Nicholas Parry Leave a Comment

Despite months of furious debate over Brexit, few have talked about its potential implications for the pharmaceutical industry and medical research. When the UK leaves the EU, the prospects for British pharmaceuticals may be dim. This is increasingly apparent as a hard Brexit  seems ever more likely, with no deal between the UK and the EU at the … [Read more...] about Brexit uncertainty, blocking both medicines and migrants?

TB ‘miracle cures’ and the issue of high expectations

March 27, 2018 by Nicholas Parry Leave a Comment

Controversy has broken out in India regarding access to two treatments that are used to address drug resistant tuberculosis (TB).
