New Delhi: Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Wednesday proposed a global approach to healthcare that encompasses digital health and medical countermeasures at the 76th session of the World Health Assembly.

Mandaviya called for equity in access to safe, high-quality, and cost-effective health solutions across all nations. The announcement was made in alignment with the assembly’s theme of ‘Health for All’, echoing G20 India’s health priorities that focus on preparedness for health emergencies, accessibility to medical countermeasures, and the advent of digital health.

He emphasized that the covid-19 crisis underscores the need for global unity in health resilience. “The circumstances we find ourselves in have only intensified the call for a globally connected world equipped to combat future health challenges," Mandaviya stated.

He proposed the establishment of a Global Medical Countermeasures Platform and a Global Initiative for Digital Health, both aiming to democratize access to healthcare solutions, particularly in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).

I-95 collapse: Local businesses, neighbors express optimism as rebuilding progresses rapidly

MAYFAIR - It’s been one week since a portion of I-95 collapsed in Northeast Philadelphia and incredible progress has been made since a tanker truck crashed and caught fire, leaving the northbound lanes in rubble.A live stream from PennDOT shows crews have been working around the clock to get temporary lanes built, so the major east coast highway can, at least, partially reopen. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro says he expects traffic to be moving within the next two weeks.There is no timeline for how long it will take to be permanently fixed, but people are optimistic about the progress, saying they would never have believed two weeks for a solution when the damage was so severe just one week ago.From the air Friday, a gaping hole as workers dropped glass aggregate along a wall.

What is Juneteenth? The history of the newest federal holiday and how to celebrate

Juneteenth 2023: What’s open and closed on Monday for the federal holidayFor beginners and those brushing up history, here's how the holiday came to be and how you can mark the occasion. Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 enslaved people in Galveston, Texas found out they had been freed.A young girl sits on a man's shoulders during the Louisville Juneteenth Festival at the Big Four Lawn on June 19, 2021 in Louisville, Kentucky. (Photo by Jon Cherry/Getty Images) Although President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves in 1863, it could not be enforced in many places in the South until the Civil War ended in 1865. Even then, some white people who had profited from their unpaid labor were reluctant to share the news.Laura Smalley, freed from a plantation near Bellville, Texas, remembered in a 1941 interview that the man she referred to as "old master" came home from fighting in the Civil War and didn’t tell the people he enslaved what had happened."Old master didn’t tell, you know, they was free," Smalley said.

WestJet to shut down Sunwing Airlines, merge it with mainline business

Sunwing Airlines, integrating the low-cost carrier into its mainline business within two years as part of a plan to streamline operations.In an internal memo obtained by The Canadian Press, Sunwing Airlines president Len Corrado says the change will unlock growth opportunities for the 18-year-old company as well as its employees.The decision comes barely a week after WestJet opted to fold budget subsidiary Swoop’s operations under its flagship banner as well.Both moves magnify the major consolidation of the Canadian aviation market that followed WestJet’s acquisition of Sunwing’s main airline and vacation divisions last month.The memo gave no indication that Sunwing Vacations would also shut down, suggesting that WestJet planes could be flying Sunwing tour package customers to their destinations.Last week, WestJet announced it would fold Swoop into its main business by late October as the country’s second-biggest airline recalibrates amid a fiercely competitive market.
