We explained yesterday about Michigan, how much health care was of economic perspective, though anything but a source of expenditure. Today, the BBC reflected the findings of British researchers who point out that in vitro fertilization, far from being a costly operation, is an investment for the community.
British researchers calculated that if the "creation" of a baby IVF costs 13,000 pounds (19,000 €), each child contributes £ 147,000 (approx. € 215,000) in taxes and insurance to the country's economy. For those researchers, this is one more reason that the NHS reimburses three IVF cycles, which would result in generating 10,000 more babies over 2 or 3 years.
Domus Medica and SVH: the persistent lack of love
The position of Flemish teachers of general practice, welcoming the development of Domus Medica and the decision of its leaders not to play the card Association, remained in the craw of many of MF in the north, especially the initial core of the movement Domus. The HVS has released a statement deploring, too, the attitude of teachers and, more broadly, the aforementioned developments. It strongly deplores such a point close to the heart to the original initiators of Domus, namely the cessation of Domus any union role, a point yet considered essential at the outset is the HVS. But we learn in the last minute that AC Domus never took the contested decision, passed by the teachers in Artsenkrant . The
climate is a strike in the German hospital world
After the tug-of-war around the German university hospitals, a new episode is coming, the next municipal hospitals this time, the weekly Focus reported, this Obviously that will affect many more practitioners and patients.

Sedentary lifestyle and high calorie foods are the major risk factors of overweight and obesity in children. An article in The New England Journal of Medicine (N Engl J Med 2006; 354:2527) denounces the role played by advertising aimed at children and adolescents.
