Herceptin and breast cancer centers (press the Absym)
" On March 13, 2006, the Committee of insurance INAMI decided unanimously to make refundable the specialty pharmaceutical for the treatment of breast cancer Herceptin in hospitals that have a cancer care program B.
Minister ignores this absolute and Herceptin only reimburse the centers providing evidence that they diagnose and treat surgically 150 new patients per year.
This morning the Committee on Insurance, ABSyM and other care providers have strongly protested against this unilateral and irresponsible Minister Demotte. Vlaamse Vereniging voor
The Obstetrics in Gynaecologie calculated that only 14% of hospitals meet this standard in Flanders. French representatives in Insurance Committee estimate that only a minority of their institutions meet this standard.
The majority of members present at the Insurance Committee is indignant at the conduct of the Minister. By drastically limiting the accessibility, the Minister excluded from this treatment a large number of women with breast cancer is treatable.
Does this form of care rationing will soon extend also to conventional therapy of breast cancer in the "clinical breast" planned, when the minister would, again, introduce the norm of 150 new surgical cases? The
ABSyM appeals to all those involved in patient care to dispute with the Minister Demotte this state of things. "
Dr. Marc Moens, President ABSyM
Privatization" creeping " NHS?
What some call creeping privatization of large segments of the NHS continues. This time the Blair government has now decided that the primary trusts (local units of the NHS) should not visit patients if they use private firms to take over GPs' offices. The debate on this subject has indeed been triggered by the decision of the North Eastern Derbyshire PCT to ask the American company U.S. managed care firm UnitedHealth manage two firms under its jurisdiction. An affiliate of one of two firms listed had ruled that patients should be consulted on such decisions. She just unsuccessful.
intimate partner + gun, a lethal combination for women
A series of eight studies, published as Intimate Partner Violence Common and Firearms in the journal Evaluation Review, confirm that a woman faces more to die murdered by an intimate partner than from the hands of an unknown assailant. " partners with violent firearms are particularly dangerous in this regard " notes and Susan Sorenson (University of California, Los Angeles), in his article ( Evaluation Review 2006; 30: 229). And clarify if the number of murders of women by foreigners has decreased in the U.S., the homicide by intimate partners made using a firearm has increased. In fact, says Sorenson, a woman is twice as likely to die from a bullet fired by an intimate partner than from any form of assault by a stranger.
A former dean of Harvard wrote a book on his destructive University
A former dean of Harvard recently published a book that creates quite a stir in the landerneau university. For him, the leaders of Harvard manage their institutions' as a day center for college students . It must be said that the very title of the book, Excellence Without a Soul : How a Great University Forgot Education , (Excellence soulless: how a great university forgot education), is already a program in itself. The book is in any case become a bestseller in the library of the university.

Moonlighting: Belgium, a very bad student
The Flemish daily Het Belang van Limburg describes some conclusions of a report by McKinsey that the black represents 22% of Belgian GDP. A Belgian betray them at least occasionally. The Belgian Treasury would lose about 30 billion euros of taxes as a result.
