How to improve health in Nigeria | The Lancet Nigeria Commission The Lancet 2022-03-16 | Nigeria is rightly taking its place on the world stage. But its health has been neglected. Prof Iruka Okeke and Dr Ṣẹ̀yẹ Abímbọ́lá lay out a positive, achievable vision for a healthy future.Read the Lancet Nigeria Commission: investing in health and the future of the nation: thelancet.com/commissions/health-in-nigeria Nigeria is projected to become one of the most populous countries in the world, and is rightly taking its place on the world stage. The Lancet Nigeria Commission tells the story of the country through a health lens, and details recommendations that will enable the country and its people to fulfil their potential, and seize the opportunity ahead. It has been led by Nigerians for Nigerians. The Commissioners call for the creation of a new social contract that redefines the relationship between citizen and state. They argue that health has, to date, been neglected by successive governments and consequently the citizens of Nigeria, and must be recentred as a vital investment in the population – one that will reap political and economic benefits. Nigeria is poised to define the future of West Africa, the African continent, and the whole world. This Commission lays out how best to realise that ambition.Thanks toNigeria Health Watch nigeriahealthwatch.comInternational Rescue Committee: http://www.rescue-UK.org/uk-aid-matchAfrican Centre of Excellence for Genomics of Infectious Diseases (ACEGID) Olusegun Okanlawon Foundation olusegunokanlawonfoundation.orgAlpha Innovation Studio - alphainnovationstudio.comChudy OgobegwuLawal Ado Raphael Ajani Daniel Odeyemi Kunle IsholaBenedict AyoolaIyanuoluwa OyewaleACEGID - youtube.com/channel/UCdI3hw5j0Bu5laA9DSoLdFwYouTube channel 'UI Premier TV' University of Ibadan - youtube.com/channel/UCZW37piAx_KzO2LEoLm37CAMatteo Martino - youtube.com/user/MatteoMartinoYTVidevo - videvo.netPexels Gideon Hezekiah - pexels.com/@gideon-hezekiah-29104819/collectionsPexels Adedire Abiodun - pexels.com/photo/city-man-people-woman-10356870Pexels Samson Okeniyi - pexels.com/photo/woman-leaning-on-man-wearing-blue-crew-neck-shirt-3929522Uncoveredlens - pexels.com/photo/photo-of-man-bringing-radio-3620411Rodnae Productions from Pexels - pexels.com/@rodnae-prod 0:00 - One nation, one health1:00 - Health successes and challenges2:20 - Health is wealth3:20 - Embrace innovation4:50 - A social contract between citizens and government6:14 - An achievable health aspiration

A new vision for death and dying | The Lancet Commission on the Value of Death The Lancet 2022-01-31 | Read the Lancet Commission on the Value of Death: www.lancet.com/commissions/value-of-deathThe story of dying in the 21st century is a story of paradox. Covid-19 has meant people have died the ultimate medicalised deaths, often alone in hospitals with little communication with their families. But in other settings, including in some lower income countries, many people remain undertreated, dying of preventable conditions and without access to basic pain relief. The unbalanced and contradictory picture of death and dying is the basis for the Lancet Commission on the Value of Death. Drawing on multidisciplinary perspectives from around the globe, the Commissioners argue that death and life are bound together: without death there would be no life. The Commission proposes a new vision for death and dying, with greater community involvement alongside health and social care services, and increased bereavement support.Find out more at thelancet.comAdditional footage courtesy of:GreenAcres cemeteries and ceremonial parks greenacresgroup.co.ukAura Flights - ashesinspace.co.ukHippocratic feature film vimeo.com/ondemand/hippocraticRodnae Productions from Pexels - pexels.com/@rodnae-prodKampus Production from Pexels pexels.com/@kampus--00:00 - The paradox of 21st century dying01:55 A compassionate communities model in Kerala03:33 A realistic utopia05:16 What does it mean for you?

Read the Lancet Commission on diagnostics: thelancet.com/commissions/diagnosticsDiagnostics are an essential part of a well functioning and high-quality health system. Yet, almost half of the global population has little or no access to diagnostics. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown acutely that diagnostic capacity in a country is directly linked to the ability to respond to the pandemic with appropriate public health measures and to monitor emerging variants. There is an urgent need to strengthen diagnostics for future pandemic preparedness but also beyond pandemics. Diagnostics are central to an accurate diagnosis of communicable and non-communicable diseases, to guide therapy, monitor progress, and assess response to treatment. The Commission puts forward recommendations to accelerate and transform access to diagnostics globally.Chinese, French, and Spanish subtitles available.
