This has led to calls for the issuing of … [Read more...] about TB ‘miracle cures’ and the issue of high expectations

The anti-vaccination movement tends to be thought of as an American phenomenon. Such views have a strong hold in Europe as well - and are posing an increasing challenge to public health across the continent. The movement is hampering progress towards elimination of the measles virus, says the World Health Organization (WHO) in a recent press … [Read more...] about Measles outbreaks in Europe: anti-vaccination movement to blame?

Pharmaceutical research: the price of failure

May 1, 2017 by Nicholas Parry 1 Comment

Copyright: atic12 / 123RF Stock Photo

Creating  a single new prescription drug is currently estimated to cost $2.6 billion dollars. This is a sum so vast that only a small  number of companies can afford to even consider the possibility. It is also a figure which is overshadowed by one major factor: failure. A staggeringly small number of medications are ever successful. As few as … [Read more...] about Pharmaceutical research: the price of failure

Modern science is in an arms race with mosquito borne disease and climate change is  bringing the mosquito threat to the doorsteps of yet more nations.

MERS: two surgeons call for checks on Hajj travellers, thoughtful writing on bugs jumping species

July 6, 2013 by Mark Chataway Leave a Comment

Anything in India's Open magazine is guaranteed to be well-written and probably to take an unusual angle of the news. Open has become a new kind of magazine: somewhere between a news weekly and a review of intellectual trends. Two surgeons write in the current edition about how man's pressure on the environment is causing  "our recurring … [Read more...] about MERS: two surgeons call for checks on Hajj travellers, thoughtful writing on bugs jumping species

The WHO’s narrow vision of the private sector is alarming

July 1, 2013 by Mark Chataway Leave a Comment

WHO Director-General, Margaret Chang's speech in Finland earlier this month makes for sad reading. She is, of course, right about the baleful influence of "Big Food, Big Soda, and Big Alcohol". Her idea though is a fight between the forces of good (the public health community) and those of evil (commercial interests). If good wins, regulation and … [Read more...] about The WHO’s narrow vision of the private sector is alarming
