Global Updates

National EHR to be Mandatory in Singapore Health Facilities

Singapore’s health institutions will soon be required to contribute data to the country’s National Electronic Health Records (NEHR) as a vehicle to improve patient care. NEHR is a shared network between providers that aggregates and combines patient records. While close to all public healthcare institutions contribute patient data, only 3% of private healthcare providers do, creating a significant gap in the national data available. In addition, many general practitioners (GPs) have not gone digital, leading to less than 70 out of 1,6000 GPs who are able to contribute data.

USAID to Begin ‘Transform’ Initiative in Ethiopia

To address preventable maternal and child deaths in Ethiopia, The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has begun a suite of four activities called “Transform,” investing US$181 million into the initiative through 2020. These activities are designed to strengthen the implementation of Ethiopia’s government, improve the country’s health systems and provide integrated family planning services. “Transform” will be launched in Tigray, Amhara, Oromia and Southern Nations Nationalities, and Peoples Regions, helping an estimated 42 million people.

Pakistan Kidney, Liver Hospital Expected to Open Soon

Construction on the Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute and Research Center (PKLI) appears to be on pace for a planned opening in late December, according to institute clinical leaders who visited the site recently. With some 300,000 people in Pakistan in urgent need of a liver transplant, and nearly another million that are approaching that need, the PKLI is aiming to become a regional role model for specialty care, and is claimed to be the country's first hospital to be built to Joint Commission International standards. The hospital is set to open with 200 beds, and later phases will see capacity expand to as many as as 1,500 beds.

Research from Low-Income Countries Faces Bias

A new study suggests that Western physicians hold strong biases toward medical research coming from prestigious Western academic institutions compared to that from institutions in low-income countries — and these biases appear to be independent of the actual research. Presented with abstracts of research papers that were identical except for the author identification, physicians in the study rated the relevance of the research and the strength of the evidence as much as 25% more highly when they were led to believe the papers came from Harvard or Freiburg Universities than they did when the papers were labeled as coming from universities in Ethiopia or Malawi.
