The hospital was awarded Sh199.5 million in January after it was selected as a pilot centre for the new healthcare financing model in Kenya. Photo/ANTHONY KAMAU Slow pace of policy implementation is hampering the flow of private capital into public hospitals, dashing the hopes of private equity funds transforming the public healthcare system to make it more affordable to millions of low income earners in Kenya.
While the country’s public private sector policy (PPP) framework passed by the Cabinet in 2008 clearly outlines rules of engagement between government institutions and private entities, experts say the health sector is yet to adopt the law limiting the role that the private sector can play in financing public health facilities. The model aims at employing corporate-style management systems in running health institutions to make them profitable and affordable to majority of the citizens. Lighting Africa.

As technological obstacles to the efficient use of solar energy diminish, economic and political challenges remain to its widespread adoption by the poor. "The sun occupies centre stage, as it should, being literally the original source of all energy," said India's prime minister, Manmohan Singh, describing an action plan for India's national strategy on climate change, in June 2008.
He promised India would pool "scientific, technical and managerial talents with financial sources to develop solar energy as a source of abundant energy to power our economy, transform the lives of our people and change the face of India". In principle, solar energy is a near-perfect solution for the energy needs of developing countries. It is universally and freely available, particularly near the equator, where many developing countries are found. Solar energy is the ultimate renewable energy resource, at least within the timescale of human existence.
Unlevel playing field Under a solar spotlight. Time to go solar. Africa should follow China's lead, and foster solar innovation, production and demand, says UN-Habitat's Banji Oyelaran-Oyeyinka. There are many reasons why Africa should turn to solar power to meet its energy needs. The continent receives an average of 6kWh of solar energy per square metre every day. In the face of climate change, Africa is also under increasing pressure to find low-carbon alternatives to traditional fuels.
And solar power is not only about reducing emissions — it can also help reduce poverty. Solar technology can provide clean, good quality light, heat, cookers and communications with very little electricity — but with huge benefits for health and quality of life. Growing markets The falling costs and growing markets for solar technology provide yet another incentive for Africa to engage in solar power. Several technologies are competing to improve the efficiency of solar power, including photovoltaics and concentrated solar thermal.
Going solar Lessons from China. Solar power for the poor: facts and figures. Solar power could help alleviate rural poverty. David J. Grimshaw and Sian Lewis shine a light on its progress, potential and pitfalls. Increasing access to energy is critical to ensuring socioeconomic development in the world's poorest countries. An estimated 1.5 billion people in developing countries have no access to electricity, with more than 80 per cent of these living in sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia. [1] The problem is most acute in remote areas: 89 per cent of people in rural sub-Saharan Africa live without electricity, which is more than twice the proportion (46 per cent) in urban areas. [1] For these people, even access to a small amount of electricity could lead to life-saving improvements in agricultural productivity, health, education, communications and access to clean water.
Options for expanding access to electricity in developing countries tend to focus on increasing centralised energy from fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal, by expanding grid electricity. David J.

Drijvende kracht achter vernieuwende netwerken Bedrijven die Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) implementeren, digitaliseren de volledige productlevenscyclus met behulp van een aantal toepassingen en processen die op een IT-infrastructuur steunen. Dankzij deze werkwijze kunnen zij de juiste producten plannen, de ontwikkeling van producten versnellen, de fabricagebewerkingen optimaliseren en hun klantenondersteuning verbeteren.
Door relevante kennis vast te leggen en het hergebruik ervan mogelijk te maken, biedt PLM het hoofd aan de uitdaging van een complexe besluitvorming die inherent is aan het beheer van meerdere producten in verschillende fasen van hun levenscyclus, de samenwerking met werknemers en leveranciers in verschillende tijdzones en het gebruik van verschillende toepassingssystemen. » Presentatie ‘datasharing’ | MedLaw.nl. » Presentatie ‘datasharing’ | MedLaw.nl.

Leg databeveiliging waar het thuishoort. Achtergrond - Beveiliging van bedrijfsgegevens blijft een doelstelling waar je als Chief Information Security Officer helemaal gek van kunt worden. Tenzij je stopt het allemaal zelf te willen doen en het daar legt waar het thuishoort. Forrester doet een aanbeveling voor CISO’s die moeite hebben de bedrijfsgegevens binnen de deur te houden: Probeer eens wat minder je best te doen.
Ondanks jaren van investeringen in technologie en processen blijft de beveiliging van bedrijfsbrede gegevensstromen een doelstelling waar je als Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) helemaal gek van kunt worden. Software-as-a-service (SaaS), Web 2.0-technologieën en op maat gesneden hardware verveelvoudigen allemaal het aantal ontnappingsroutes voor gevoelige informatie. Regels, statuten en contractuele verplichtingen bedelven de CISO’s onder audits en voeren de druk steeds verder op om iets aan het probleem te doen. Zeer sterk gegroeide bandbreedte voor de informatiestroom.
