Networked Health and Welfare
A Saint Among Us
Saints Among Us
It were the mid 1980s. I was not yet a teenager. And one warm night in Lahore, I listened to this elderly man, give a passionate speech. He sported a long white beard and wore ragged black kamiz shalwar, and in a soft but stern voice, he declared, “I will build a network of health centers over the 1500 km main highway connecting Karachi to Peshawar. And after every 50 kilometers there will be a small basic health center manned by an ambulance. These services are for all mankind free of cost.”
How new business models will drive innovation!
From a recent Fortune magazine that I read that most companies in S&P have been rated as risky. This represents a huge challenge for companies as new emerging economies such as India, China or other countries mean new business models which have to be sustainable and scalable and I do not think that there are in most text books or case studies of today.
A Mobile, Integrated Disease Surveillance System
Disease surveillance is an important aspect of any public health-care programme that serves two
essential purposes, one of which is monitoring the progress of ongoing medical interventions for
disease reduction, and the other is for the early detection of outbreaks to initiate investigative and
control measures. Disease Surveillance is also a basic tool for the field epidemiologist as surveillance
data provide a scientific basis for implementation of an appropriate health-care policy, disease control
decisions, the evaluation of the efficacy of surveillance initiatives, and for the allocation of resources in
the primary health-care system.
