BELGRADE, Feb 14 2007 (IPS) – Serbia is to implement a 10-year plan to improve mental health that declined for many in recent years of harsh isolation and transition into a market economy.
Mental health problems were something experts have warned about more than 10 years ago, particularly where young people were concerned, but it is only now that something can be done, Dr Vojislav Curcic told IPS.
Dr Curcic heads the psychiatry department of the elite Dragisa Misovic hospital in Belgrade, and was involved in the five-year research that led to the creation of the Strategy for Mental Health project, now adopted by the government.
The plan provides for complete reconstruction of seven psychiatry hospitals at a cost of 15 million dollars, and…

BRUSSELS, Mar 13 2008 (IPS) – The European Union #39s efforts to promote gender equality in poor countries have been dubbed half-hearted by the bloc #39s only directly elected institution.
Around 17 billion euros (26 billion dollars) has been allocated to the EU #39s Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI) aid for Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and South Africa in the 2007-13 period. But though EU governments first declared in 1995 that advancement of women should be a core objective of the Union #39s development aid policy, gender issues are largely absent in the plans for spending the DCI #39s funds.
A new European Parliament report bemoans how most of the DCI plans for helping individual countries contain no specific targets for improving the lo…

TRAT, Thailand, Feb 23 2010 (IPS) – When the conversation here shifts to domestic violence, even the way a woman got pregnant becomes an issue of concern, particularly if the price for bearing a child means getting infected with HIV.
That is what happened to 34-year-old Nowares Khlangkamnerd, who only discovered she had got HIV from her husband when she was summoned by a local hospital shortly before giving birth to her first child.
I got very angry because he didn t tell me about his status, reveals Nowares during a conversation here with other women who had suffered a similar plight. The way I got infected was a form of domestic violence, because if he had revealed his HIV status we could have had safe sex with a condom and I would not have cau…

LILONGWE, Nov 16 2010 (IPS) – There are 91,000 children living with HIV in Malawi. A shortage of resources means that many do not receive proper treatment and care.
The most recent AIDS Epidemic Update, published by UNAIDS and the World Health Organization, estimated that there were 2.1 million children under the age of 15 living with HIV worldwide in 2007; 1.8 million were found in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Campaign to End Pediatric AIDS (CEPA) estimates 370,000 African children were newly infected that year.
In Malawi, UNAIDS estimates that 91,000 children under 15 are living with HIV. Amongst the 27,000 of these children with advanced HIV and low CD4 counts, just under two-thirds are receiving anti-retroviral therapy.
Observers say this care is …
New York, May 12 2015 (IPS) – With no new infections in 42 days, Liberia has been declared free and clear of Ebola by the World Health Organization.
The announcement was made in the emergency command center in Monrovia, a room packed with reporters, aid agencies and dignitaries, including the U.S. Ambassador to Liberia Deborah R. Malac. Responses ranged from applause to tears followed by a moment of silence called by President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf.
“At this symbolic juncture, I ask the whole world to remember the 4,608 Liberians who lost their lives, and the many thousands more who endured the horror of fighting the disease,” Johnson-Sirleaf said.
“Let us celebrate, but stay mindful and vigilant,” she said. “Clearly, the events of the last year must ne…
