Nearly half of the world's population, or 3.5 billion people, suffer from oral diseases, the majority of them in low- and middle-income countries, the World Health Organization said on Thursday.

The most common oral illnesses are tooth decay, severe gum disease, tooth loss and oral cancers, with untreated tooth decay affecting nearly 2.5 billion people, the United Nations agency said.

About 380,000 new cases of oral cancers are diagnosed every year, it said.

WHO cited large out-of-pocket expenditure and the unavailability of highly specialized dental equipment in primary healthcare facilities as two of the reasons for the high prevalence of oral diseases, especially in poor countries.

"Oral health has long been neglected in global health, but many oral diseases can be prevented," said WHO Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

The agency suggested countries include equitable oral health services as part of their national planning and integrate oral health services into their primary health care models, while also improving access to affordable fluoride toothpaste, among other measures.

The cholera situation in Haiti continues to worsen while COVID-19 cases rose over the past week, the Pan American Health Organization said on Wednesday. Reuters Health Information

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network- a non-profit alliance of leading cancer centers across the United States-;is launching a collaborative project with the Latin American and Caribbean Society of Medical Oncology in Buenos Aires, Argentina, today.

In a statement to the House of Representatives Tuesday, Health and Wellness Minister Dr Christopher Tufton advised that the Government has, under its Code Care intervention, inked eight agreements with private institutions to make the surgeries happen.

He said already 170 patients have been removed from the waiting list for elective surgeries, including 35 children who received surgeries for ear, nose and throat procedures.

"This modality has been used in many other jurisdictions and has been shown to be effective in not only reducing the backlog, but also bolster the quality of care by reducing the patient load in the public sector. We are operating on the principle that there should be one health system and no distinction between public and private, and where the private has spare capacity and the public is under stress, we can transfer some of that demand from the public to private under special arrangement," he said, noting that $950 million has been allocated to the project with the vast majority of funding going towards the renovation and upgrading of nine operating theatres in four hospitals.

Dr Tufton said this will enable the local surgical staff to do more and to enhance the completion of surgeries. The ministry is aiming to remove 2,000 people from the surgery backlog.

Furthermore, a health mission from the United States is scheduled to spend five days in the island from December 1, working with local counterparts at the Noel Holmes Hospital in Hanover on surgeries for more than 30 patients.

Meanwhile, specialist nurses could be steps closer to being able to practise their profession jointly between Jamaica and North American jurisdictions as the Government hammers out cooperation agreements with the University of Miami and the Hartford health system.

Dr Tufton advised that the Government has embarked on a shift in the approach to health-care delivery, placing greater focus on developing and structuring strategic partnerships to enhance access to health care.

He noted that two agreements signed recently with the University of Miami and the Hartford health system to mitigate the training and staffing challenges that continue to plague the health system here. Under the arrangement, opportunities are to be created for training and development, and to examine the possibilities for addressing health staff challenges.

"The discussions on the MoUs have started — a draft joint training course outline has been developed and the idea is to train our first batch of specialist nurses jointly by these institutions," he said. This will include clinical rotations, information sharing and simulation, at the end of which nurses will qualify to work in Jamaica and in certain jurisdictions in the US.

"I do envision that there is going to come a point when a specialist nurse, in particular, would be able to work in one jurisdiction for five months, in another for seven," Dr Tufton said, emphasising that the memorandum opens the doors for greater collaboration in technology and the enhanced use of telemedicine to deliver health care, while training specialists.

If we’re all being honest, owning a home or having a roof over our heads is pretty high on our to-do list. How many times have you jokingly told your children – “You better not put me in a nursing home when I’m older” or “I want to live in my house...

Walmart has agreed to pay $3.1 billion to settle opioid-crisis lawsuits brought by several U.S. states and municipalities, adding to a landmark settlement with rival pharmacy chains, The Wall Street Journal writes. The agreement, which will require significant improvements in how Walmart pharmacies handle opioids, resolves a collection of lawsuits brought by states, cities, and Native American tribes. Earlier this month, CVS Health and Walgreens Boots Alliance agreed to pay roughly $5 billion apiece to settle the lawsuits. The companies did not admit wrongdoing. Each state, local government, and tribe will need to decide whether to participate in the settlement.
