HAVANA, Oct 3 2006 (IPS) – Washington s embargo against Cuba also has an impact on the United States economy and prevents millions of U.S. citizens from benefiting from Cuban medical progress, according to a report released by the Cuban foreign ministry.
The text of the report will be presented at the United Nations General Assembly, which on Nov. 8 will be examining for the fifteenth consecutive year the need to end the embargo imposed by Washington on Havana more than four decades ago. The document states that because of the blockade regulations it has been impossible to begin clinical trials in the U.S. with TheraCIM, a Cuban pharmaceutical product for treating brain tumours in children.

TheraCIM is produced by the Molecular Immunology Centre, which …

SANTO DOMINGO, Nov 9 2006 (IPS) – Early sexual initiation and a lack of prevention policies are sowing the seeds of AIDS proliferation, warns a UNICEF study carried out at locations straddling the border between the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
Field surveys at Ouanaminthe (Wanament), a Haitian town 245 kilometres from Port-au-Prince, and Dajabón, 300 kilometres from Santo Domingo, found that 61.9 percent of those interviewed said they knew an HIV-carrier, 30.3 percent had a friend who was infected, and 14.6 percent had a close relative living with HIV.

The study by the United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF) and the community organisation Catholic Relief Services also found that 93 percent of those interviewed had heard about AIDS and other sexually …

ROME, Dec 7 2006 (IPS) – About half of the parliamentarians in Rwanda are women; many other African countries have more women in parliament than some western ones. It s taken some doing, as Gertrude Mongella knows and as she tells IPS in an interview.
When she was appointed Secretary-General for the fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995, Gertrude Mongella already had a long political history. A graduate from the East Africa University College in Dar-es-Salaam in Tanznia, she has strongly supported advancement of women in the African continent in her 34-year career.

She was member of the East African Legislative Assembly in the seventies, minister of state in her country Tanzania ten years later, and Tanzanian high commissioner to India in …

NAIROBI, Jan 24 2007 (IPS) – The issue of violence exacerbating the spread of HIV/AIDS, particularly in women, has remained a hot one at the World Social Forum (WSF), taking place here this week.
>From Africa to Asia, activists are reiterating that violence against women remains a threat to the HIV/AIDS fight, and that without governments addressing the matter, winning the war against the disease will be an uphill task.

Violence is largely a cause of HIV infection among many women; violence in the homes and in the streets, violence everywhere, says Ludfine Anyango, the national HIV/AIDS coordinator at Action Kenya-International.

The fact that women do not have an upper hand in negotiating their sexual relationships exposes them to the risk of …

PORT LOUIS, Feb 20 2007 (IPS) – In contrast to the rest of southern Africa, intravenous (IV) drug users have become the group most vulnerable to the transmission of the HI virus in Mauritius. This has led the Mauritian government to introduce a syringe and needle exchange programme in a bid to stem HIV infection among Mauritian drug users.
Sexual transmission among heterosexuals is the most common way of HIV infection in southern Africa, the region which has become the centre of the international HIV/AIDS pandemic in recent years.

Mauritius is unusual in the region as the HIV prevalence rate among its population of 1.2 million people is less than 0.5 percent. Since 1987, 162 Mauritians have died from AIDS-related illnesses. Currently, some 2,345 Mau…

LISBON, Mar 29 2007 (IPS) – Drastic public health budget cuts in Portugal have led to the closure of emergency and maternity services and prompted protests against the government of socialist Prime Minister José Sócrates.
As a result of economic reforms and austerity measures adopted by the government to reduce the budget deficit, Portuguese women in some border areas must now cross into Spain to give birth.

Hospitals in Spain have signed agreements with their counterparts across the border in Portugal. One such case involves the cities of Badajoz in western Spain and Elvas in eastern Portugal.

The battle for Portuguese women s right to give birth in their own country is not the only consequence of the budget cuts in the health system, altho…

BEIRUT, May 2 2007 (IPS) – The influx of refugees from Palestinian areas and the inability of the government to do much for them has strengthened a unique NGO providing essential services.
The influx of refugees from Palestinian areas and the inability of the government to do much for them has strengthened a unique NGO providing essential services.

The Popular Aid for Relief and Development (PARD), which began working in the early 1980s before registering as an official NGO with the Lebanese government in 1990, has taken it upon itself to provide environmental services, health education, medical services and community development centres for refugees.

We give services because services are better than money, Ahmad Halimeh, co-founder of PARD told I…

HEILIGENDAMM, Germany, Jun 8 2007 (IPS) – The Group of Eight industrialised countries suffered a setback Friday in its plan to strengthen intellectual property rights through promoting innovation protecting innovation when the five developing world s leaders China, India, Brazil, South Africa and Mexico forced a key change in the final statement.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted there was a change from the earlier text, saying with China and India present at the table, there will be some changes.

She said at the concluding press conference th…
