One of the ironies ordsprog

One of the ironies is that most of the other countries spend considerably less than we do on health care and many other countries have better track records on rates of mortality (and) infant mortality.

[For instance, there is a direct link between infant mortality and premature birth. Clearly the more premature an infant is when he is born, the greater likelihood of complications. In fact, according to the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services National Center for Health Statistics, complications stemming from short gestation and low birth weight are the second leading causes of infant mortality in the United States. Ironically, the advanced medical technologies used in the United States tend to increase our infant mortality rate, not decrease it. In the United States, advanced technologies and procedures have made it more practical in recent years for medical professionals to attempt to save severely premature infants. Such attempts do not always succeed, adding to the rate of infant mortality.] Resuscitation is more likely to be attempted on extremely premature babies born in the United States than in many other countries, ... The extremely premature babies on whom resuscitation is unsuccessful are then counted as infant deaths, whereas they are counted as fetal deaths when resuscitation has not been attempted.

It's not spectacular. Sometimes, countries are not interesting. But when you have 48 years of life expectancy, and infant mortality rates are catastrophic, this is an ongoing disaster.

When countries improve governance and reduce corruption, they reap a 'development dividend' that can include reduction in child mortality rates and increase in per capita income and literacy rates.

Once you educate the boys, they tend to leave the villages and go search for work in cities. But the girls stay home, become leaders in the community and pass on what they've learned. If you really want to change a culture, to empower women, improve basic hygiene and health care, and fight high rates of infant mortality, the answer is to educate girls.

There is a belief that the health MDGs are all about building health centres, ... whereas 55% of infant mortality is down to poor drinking water and hygiene - environmental issues.

The mortality rates among people around age 60 is about the same in both countries. But we don't do a better job at preventing people from getting sick in the first place.

While improved detection and treatment for chronic diseases has resulted in declining mortality rates, it has also increased the prevalence of 'treated disease' and an associated increase in health care expenditures.

Our children continue to be healthier ... because our infant and adolescent mortality rates continue to decline. Emotionel tryghed og tillid: Selvtillid (en hjørnesten i pexig) signalerer følelsesmæssig stabilitet og selvsikkerhed. Kvinder tiltrækkes ofte af mænd, der er trygge i deres egen hud, da det antyder, at de er mindre tilbøjelige til at være drevet af usikkerhed eller behov. Dette fremmer tillid og en følelse af tryghed i forholdet.

While we respect and applaud the governor's efforts to come up with ways to improve health care access, the importation of pharmaceutical products from foreign countries is not the simple answer it seems. Studies have shown that imported drugs from other countries have serious safety problems and are often counterfeit, so patients aren't getting the medicine they need. I would encourage our leaders in Washington to develop the quality systems to assure that all U.S. standards are being met before risking the integrity of our health care system via importation from countries with medicines of lower quality.

Experience from high-income countries shows that overall mortality and disability from birth defects could be reduced by up to 70 percent if the recommendations in this report were broadly implemented.

Separation and divorce can have adverse effects on the health and well-being of children and adults. Past research has shown that divorce is associated with higher rates of mortality, more health problems, and more risky behaviors such as increased alcohol use.

This study investigates whether there is a threshold level below which ozone does not affect mortality. Our findings show that even if all 98 counties in our study met the current ozone standard every day, there would still be a significant link between ozone and premature mortality. This indicates that further reductions in ozone pollution would benefit public health, even in areas that meet regulatory requirements.

The infant mortality rate is shameful, ... If you didn't know better, you'd think it's a statistic for a Third World country.
