2024-11-17 | Al Jazeera English | Israel’s weapons industry: Is the Gaza war its latest test lab? | Weapons tested in each war Israel wages see a spike in global demand. The current Gaza war is the latest laboratory for its arms industry. Amman, Jordan –The Israeli army released footage on October 22 of its Maglan commando unit deploying a new precision-guided 120mm mortar bomb called the Iron Sting, against Hamas in Gaza. The bomb’s Haifa-based manufacturer, Elbit Systems, has been advertising its qualities on the public relations page of its website since March 2021, when it was integrated into the Israeli military. Benny Gantz, then Israel’s defence minister and now a part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war cabinet, described the Iron Sting as “designed to engage targets precisely, in both open terrains and urban environments, while reducing the possibility of collateral damage and preventing injury to non-combatants”. It’s a claim echoed by Mark Regev, Netanyahu’s former spokesperson, for the country’s overall approach to its war on Gaza, in which, he has said, Israel is “trying to be as surgical as humanly possible”. Yet, more than one month after Israel launched the aerial bombardment of Gaza following a surprise Hamas attack, it haskilled at least 11,400 Palestinian civilians, and injured 30,000 in the besieged strip and the occupied West Bank. More than 4,700 of Gaza’s children are dead. Hamas fighters killed 1,200 people in their October 7 attack. Israel’s devastatingly “surgical” killing machines, tested on Palestinians, have global takers, say analysts. Ahmed Saeed al-Najar, 28, was driving his taxi in Rafah during Gaza’s third war of 2014 when a drone missile came in through the open sunroof of his taxi. It exploded in the car, instantly decapitating and killing all six of his passengers, his best friend included. The car had been targeted by an Israeli Spike drone rocket, which can be modified to carry a fragmentation sleeve of thousands of 3mm tungsten cubes, said to affect an area of approximately 20 metres in diameter. The cubes puncture metal and “cause tissue to be torn from flesh”, literally shredding anyone within range, according to Erik Fosse, a Norwegian doctor working in Gaza. Al-Najar, rescued from the wreckage of his car, suffered extensive burns, the loss of his right eye, multiple shrapnel wounds and the loss of his right leg from the mid-thigh point, amputated by the blast. But by 2014, drones that carry the Spike rocket had already become highly sought-after by other countries. The Heron TP “Eitan” drone is Israel’s largest unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and was brought into service in 2007. Manufactured by the state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) — Israel’s largest aerospace and defence company and the country’s largest industrial exporter – it can fly up to 40 hours continuously and can carry four Spike missiles. The Eitan was first used during “Operation Cast Lead” in the 2008-09 Gaza war for attacks against civilians, according to the non-governmental organisation, Drone Wars UK. According to Defence for Children International, of the 353 children killed and 860 injured during Operation Cast Lead, 116 died from missiles launched by drones. After the war, IAI witnessed a surge in orders of Heron variant drones from at least 10 countries between 2008-2011. During this period, more than 100 drones were purchased, leased or acquired under joint venture schemes. India – Israel’s largest military buyer, which operates more than 100 Israeli-made UAVs – purchased 34 Heron drones in this period, followed by France (24), Brazil (14) and Australia (10), according to a2014 reportby Drone Wars UK. That does not mean that Israel wages wars to advertise its weapons, said experts. “Nobody fights wars just to show off their weapons,” said Lawrence Freedman, emeritus professor of war studies at King’s College London. Yet, at the same time, “in every war against Gaza a range of weapons and surveillance tech has been deployed against the Palestinians which is then marketed and sold to huge amounts of nations around the world,” said Antony Loewenstein, independent journalist and author of The Palestine Laboratory. Weapons exports have uses beyond the revenue they bring to Israel. “It’s more than that, it’s also an insurance policy to insulate themselves from the intense pressure to change their behaviour over the decades-long occupation of Palestinians,” said Loewenstein. Last month, Colombian President Gustavo Petro refused to condemn the surprise attack launched by Hamas on October 7 as a “terrorist attack” instead responding that “terrorism is killing innocent children in Palestine”. In response, the Israeli government halted all sales of defence and security equipment and associated services to the Latin American country. Colombia is one of an estimated 130 countries that have bought weapons, drones and cyberspying technology from Israel, the world’s 10th-largest weapons exporter. Israel is, by far, the world’s largest exporter of military drones: in 2017, it was estimated that it was behindnearly two-thirds of all UAV exportsover the previous three decades. Elbit, the maker of the Iron Sting, provides up to 85 percent of the land-based equipment procured by the Israeli military and about 85 percent of its drones, according to Database of Israeli Military and Security Export (DIMSE). But after the 2014 Gaza war, its export market expanded significantly, too. Elbit promotes its Hermes UAVs as “combat-proven” and the “primary platform of the IDF in counter-terror operations”. The Hermes 450 and Hermes 900 were both used extensively in “Operation Protective Edge”, Israel’s 2014 war, during which 37 percent of fatalities were attributed to drone attacks, according to an estimate by the Gaza-based Al Mezan Center for Human Rights. Elbit subsequently secured contracts for the new Hermes 900 drone with more than 20 countries worldwide including the Philippines, which purchased 13, as well as India, Azerbaijan, Canada, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Iceland, the European Union, Mexico, Switzerland and Thailand. In March 2023, Elbit Systems announced their 120th order for the Hermes 900. The new “Nizoz” (Spark) surveillance drone manufactured by Rafael, a state-owned weapons contractor that forms the Big Three of Israel’s arms industry with IAI and Elbit, has reportedly now entered the current Gaza war. Rafael has an order backlog which currently stands at $10.1bn. Al Jazeera approached Elbit Systems, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and IAI for comment but the firms were yet to respond before time of publication. For all of its military export successes, the full extent of Israel’s defence industry sales remains masked. A report from Amnesty International in 2019 noted that the whole process by which Israel sells arms is shrouded in secrecy “with no documentation of sales, one cannot know when [these arms] were sold, by which company, how many and so on”. Amnesty found that “Israeli companies exported weapons which reached their destination after a series of transactions, thereby skirting international monitoring”. Israel has not ratified the Arms Trade Treaty, which prohibits the sale of weapons at risk of being used in genocide and crimes against humanity. As such, its weapons exports have influenced the course of history for several nations, many led by controversial regimes. Israel sold weapons to the South African apartheid government in 1975 and even agreed to supply nuclear warheads, according to declassified documents – though Israel denies doing so. Napalm and other weapons were supplied toEl Salvadorduring its counterinsurgency wars between 1980-1992 that killed more than 75,000 civilians. In 1994, Israeli-made bullets, rifles and grenades were allegedly used inRwanda’s genocidewhich killed at least 800,000 people. Israel supplied weapons to the Serbian army that waged war against Bosnia from 1992-1995. Despite the Israeli government’s own statement in 2018 declaring it had ceased sales to Myanmar, theHaaretz newspaperreported last year that weapons manufacturers continued supplying the military government until 2022, in violation of the 2017 international arms embargo against the country. And, in September this year, Israel supplied UAVs, missiles and mortars to Azerbaijan for its campaign to recapture Nagorno-Karabakh, during which 100,000 ethnic Armenians were displaced. Part of what makes it hard to track Israeli weapons exports is the very nature of the arms trade. “Governments buy and sell to each other directly and through their large defence contractors, but also there is a parallel trade by private firms that is usually not illegal but provides plausible deniability,” Stephen Badsey, professor of conflict studies at Wolverhampton University, said. The largest single control that seller nations maintain over the use of their weapons by other countries is the requirement for “end user” or “end use” rules, Badsey said. But as a major weapons exporter that doesn’t subscribe to the Arms Trade Treaty, Israel has built a reputation for loose export norms. In 2018, former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte said he would ask his military to purchase weapons exclusively from Israel because, unlike the United States or Europe, Israel did not impose restrictions. New government regulations introduced last year will allow Israel to sell more weapons to a greater range of countries without licences – and so, with less oversight. It pays: Israeli weapon export figures have doubled over the past decade, totalling $12.5bn last year. Two days after the October 7 Hamas attack, Israel’s minister of defence Yoav Gallant compared the Palestinian people with “human animals”. To Loewenstein, the dehumanising comments were unsurprising. “It is obvious over Israel’s occupation and countless wars that Palestinians are treated as second-class citizens. Like animals,” he said. Over the years, the Israeli army has tested rubber bullets, artificial intelligence-powered robotic guns and various forms of crowd dispersal solutions, which have inflicted severe injuries on Palestinians. Nabeel al-Shawa, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon who has worked in Gaza since 1978, treated many Palestinians wounded by Israeli firing on the Great March of Return in 2018 – when tens of thousands of Palestinians demanded they be allowed to return to the land they were forcibly removed from in 1948. “For Israeli snipers, this was merely target practice with humans,” he said. “Most patients had been shot in joints deliberately to cause maximum damage, but not kill. “These new rounds the Israeli army used caused injuries I have never seen before. In some cases the limb appeared intact, however, during surgery, I could not distinguish between bone and soft tissue.” So can Israeli weapons manufacturers legitimately market their weaponry as “battle proven” when the combat often targets unarmed civilians? They can, said Zoran Kusovac, a geopolitical and security analyst. “If a weapon’s main purpose is proven in the actual battlefield or in as near realistic circumstances as possible, then they are battle proven,” he said. “You cannot blame countries for buying from Israel. You can test all you want in a lab, but Israel is testing in the field, and as there are never any lags of time between one period of combat to the next, the development cycle is virtually in real time. “And there is of course that adage; that if it’s good enough for the IDF, then it must be good enough for us.” Ashraf al-Qudra, spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, last week said in a press statement that medical teams in the enclave had “observed severe burns on the bodies of Palestinians who were killed and wounded by Israel’s bombs – whether caused by an unknown weapon or not – is something they have not seen in previous conflicts”. Dr Ahmed el-Mokhallalati from the burn and plastic surgery division at al-Shifa Hospital, in an interview with theToronto Star, described the wounds as “very deep – third and fourth-degree burns, and the skin tissue is impregnated with black particles and most of the skin thickness and all the layers underneath are burned down to the bone”. El-Mokhallalati said that these weren’t phosphorus burns, “but a combination of some kind of incendiary bomb wave and other components”. The Israeli military has not commented so far on the statement made by Gaza’s Ministry. But the mystery incendiary bombs, the Iron Sting’s debut and the reported use of the new Spark drone in the current war suggest that Israel is once again testing new weapons in conflict. “Israel’s weapons will continue to remain attractive to international buyers based on performance in the occupation,” Loewenstein said. “But Israel is not just selling weapons; they’re selling the ideology to other countries – of getting away with it.” Follow Al Jazeera English: |

2024-11-17 | Globalsecurity.org | U.S. Imposes Sanctions On U.A.E.-Based Maritime Companies, Vessels For Violating Price Cap On Russian Oil | By RFE/RL November 16, 2023 The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on three maritime companies based in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) and three vessels owned by the companies for shipping Russian oil sold above a price cap imposed by the world's major economies to reduce the amount of oil revenue Moscow has to fund its war in Ukraine. The companies and the vessels are accused of engaging in the export of Russian crude oil priced above the $60 a barrel cap. The department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) said in announcing the sanctions on November 16 that the vessels used "U.S.-person services while transporting the Russian-origin crude oil." The price cap bans Western companies from providing such services, including insurance, finance, and shipping, for Russian seaborne oil exports sold above $60 a barrel. The Group of Seven (G7) leading industrialized countries -- Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States -- imposed the price cap last year after ruling out an outright ban on Russian seaborne oil in order to keep the commodtity flowing. Australia later joined the G7 in enforcing the price cap. "Shipping companies and vessels participating in the Russian oil trade while using Price Cap Coalition service providers should fully understand that we will hold them accountable for compliance," Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said in the Treasury Department's statement. The United States is committed to maintaining market stability in spite of Russia's war against Ukraine while at the same time "cutting into the profits the Kremlin is using to fund its illegal war," Adeyemo added. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said the price cap continues to limit the impact of Russia's war against Ukraine on global energy markets. "Since our Coalition implemented the price cap policy, we have been clear in communicating that our aim is to prevent Russia from earning a steep wartime premium on its oil sales while also maintaining global energy market stability," Miller said in a statement. The action freezes any assets in U.S. jurisdiction owned by those targeted and generally bars Americans from dealing with them. The U.A.E.-based firms targeted are Kazan Shipping Incorporated, Progress Shipping Company Limited, and Gallion Navigation Incorporated. The vessels are the Kazan, Ligovsky Prospect, and NS Century, the Treasury Department said. The action comes a month after the Treasury Department imposed the first sanctions on owners of tankers accused of carrying Russian oil priced above the cap. One of the owners is in Turkey, the other is in the U.A.E.

2024-11-17 | The Times of India | AI value to be unlocked with cloud adoption at scale: Report | Reuters Nearly two in three financial services firms have started using artificial intelligence (AI) and look to utilise it across the full value chain in the next two years, says a report. A Capgemini report released on Friday highlighted that implementing cloud at scale is critical to harvest the full value of AI investments and the financial services firms have seen limited impact of AI due to low-scale adoption. "One-in-two banks and insurers have not moved their core business applications to the cloud," the report said. Elevate Your Tech Prowess with High-Value Skill Courses Offering College Course Website IIT Delhi IITD Certificate Programme in Data Science & Machine Learning Visit MIT MIT Technology Leadership and Innovation Visit Northwestern University Kellogg Post Graduate Certificate in Product Management Visit As many as 91 per cent of banks and insurance companies have now initiated their cloud journey, a significant increase from 2020, when only 37 per cent of firms had embarked on their cloud transformations. However, this high rate and its corresponding investment do not translate to effective cloud adoption at scale. More than 50 per cent of firms surveyed have only moved a minimal portion of their core business applications to the cloud, the report said. The value of AI and Gen AI can be better realized through the right cloud adoption at scale, hence banks will need to prioritize cloud journey for fintech growth, a senior Capgemini executive said. Capgemini Industry Platform Leader for Banking - India Anuj Agarwal said, "Today, we see FinTechs specializing in numerous areas that leverage AI to add significant value to banks. Examples of such areas include automation, personalized customer experience, better mitigation of financial crime and risk management." Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories India has one of the highest AI skill penetration levels in the world, has been seeing significant investment in AI, as well as demand for AI solutions, and with the government push towards a digital India, will also have immense data availability, which will help in India's fintech revolution, he added. Agarwal said, elaborating on the inaugural Capgemini Research Institute's World Cloud Report on financial services, "Through our research, we found that banks are generally struggling to offer clients the desired value and personalization that they seek. Hence it is critical for them to offer the right Customer Experience and improve their operational efficiency, to plug this expectation gap." In wealth management, over half (60 per cent) cite benefits in relying on cloud-enabled fraud detection techniques to make data-driven risk-management decisions. Likewise, more than one-third of retail banking executives (39 per cent) emphasize transitioning complex credit risk management to the cloud to shorten loan processing decision time, through cloud-enabled automated processes and integrated analytics. Cloud-based scalable and composable platforms will emerge as a key enabler for this journey, the report further suggests. The report cites global data of two primary research surveys and 30 interviews with financial service executives from 20 countries and 14 markets within the United States, Canada, the UK, France, Germany,Spain, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, China, India, and Australia.

2024-11-17 | NPR | Swedish dockworkers are refusing to unload Teslas at ports in broad boycott move | Goran Larsson, a cargo ship inspector, poses next to the Transport Workers' Union flag at the Malmo port on Nov. 7. Dockworkers are refusing to load or unload Teslas at this port and all others across the country.Danielle Kaye for NPRhide caption Goran Larsson, a cargo ship inspector, poses next to the Transport Workers' Union flag at the Malmo port on Nov. 7. Dockworkers are refusing to load or unload Teslas at this port and all others across the country. At the Malmo port in southern Sweden, a cargo ship looms over row after row of shiny new cars — Volkswagens, Volvos, Mercedes. Notably missing are Teslas. That's because dockworkers are refusing to unload them. Goran Larsson, a cargo ship inspector, said he's informing the crew on each arriving vessel of the labor action and assessing whether any Teslas are on board. "We want there to be good regulation in Sweden — law and order all around the workplaces," Larsson said. "And this is the first step that we will do." Tesla has long fended off efforts to unionize its workforce around the world. But in Sweden, the electric vehicle maker is facing its first formal labor action over its anti-union stance, with potential ripple effects for the company globally. The Swedish metal and industrial workers union, IF Metall, which represents Tesla's roughly 120 workers, launched a walkout at the company in late October. And now, Swedish workers of all stripes – dockworkers, electricians, cleaners and others – are banding together to boycott the U.S. company in solidarity. The strike is a response to the company's refusal to sign a collective bargaining agreement for its employees, almost all of them mechanics, because Tesla doesn't have a manufacturing plant in Sweden. About 90% of the entire Swedish workforce belong to trade unions and they are covered by contracts with their employers, which standardize pay rates, insurance and pensions, among other work conditions, in each sector. "This is the way we regulate working conditions in Sweden and has been for a long, long time," said IF Metall spokesperson Jesper Pettersson. "It has been very beneficial for both parties – both for employers and for employees." The Swedish labor movement is rallying behind the relatively small group of Tesla mechanics, who repair Tesla vehicles at service centers. Thousands of workers are refusing to touch any Teslas until the company signs a contract. And the boycott keeps expanding. Postal workers have said they will stop delivering mail addressed to the company if there's no deal by Nov. 20. They see the American EV maker's efforts to circumvent collective bargaining as an affront to the entire Swedish labor system, where trade unions are part of the fabric of the economy. Dockworkers represented by Sweden's transport workers' union have been blocking all imports of Teslas at Sweden's four main ports since last week. And this Friday, they're set to expand their blockade to the entire country. Tommy Wreeth, chairman of the transport workers' union, said the Swedish labor system is based on collective bargaining agreements, which Tesla, led by the staunchly anti-union Elon Musk, is reluctant to embrace. "It's very important to protect our model – it's a fight for the model, not just for the Tesla workers," Wreeth said, referring to his union's solidarity boycott. Tesla did not respond to NPR's requests for comment. A Tesla representative told Sweden's TT News Agency that the company is choosing not to enter into a collective agreement. "We already offer equivalent or better agreements than those covered by collective bargaining and find no reason to sign any other agreement," Tesla told TT. A Tesla mechanic in Gothenburg, who requested anonymity due to concern about retaliation by the company, said he thinks a union agreement would provide a financial safety net that "allows us as employees to be able to have security." Despite the broad nature of the protests lodged by the unions, they have an uphill battle on their hands. Sweden is a relatively small market for Tesla – its fifth biggest in Europe this year. And Tesla doesn't manufacture any cars in the Nordic country, meaning it could theoretically decide to leave the country altogether. But German Bender, a labor market analyst at Stockholm think tank Arena Idé, said it's unlikely Tesla will leave Sweden. And he doubts the Swedish unions will give up anytime soon – their fight, he said, is "too symbolically important" to abandon. "And it becomes more symbolically important the longer the strike goes on," Bender said. The strike is, at its core, a domestic issue – it's about a foreign company at odds with Sweden's labor norms and values. But the labor action comes as unions in bigger markets are also challenging Tesla. Musk is facing, for instance, a union drive at its factory in Germany. It is Tesla's only factory in Europe: the Berlin-Brandenburg Gigafactory, one of six such plants worldwide. In the United States, the Texas-based automaker has so far thwarted all attempts to unionize its workforce. But the United Auto Workers union has set its sights on Tesla, after negotiating major deals with the Detroit Three automakers. "If the Tesla workers in Sweden would manage to sign the first collective agreement ever with Tesla, I think that could have a symbolic importance in other markets," Bender said. Atle Hoie, general secretary of IndustriALL Global Union which represents industrial workers around the world, said large-scale strikes like this one are rare in Sweden. He said the solidarity from Swedish unions across sectors, including from dockworkers, is a "big blow to Tesla" both within and beyond the Nordic country, sending the message that Tesla "is not immune to organizing." Anders Gustafsson, a former dockworker who now works for the Swedish transport workers' union, said his union has received messages of support from unions in other countries, including in the U.S. and Canada. "We hope that Tesla workers all around the world actually take that fight," Gustafsson said. "Somebody needs to be first." |

2024-11-19 | Forbes | The 15 Safest Countries To Travel To In 2024—According To A New Report | Canada is the safest country to travel to in 2024, according to a report from Berkshire Hathaway. An ... [+] aerial shot of Quebec City is pictured here. Safety is a top concern for many when choosing where to travel — a consideration that carries even more importance given the current landscape in the Middle East with the Israel-Hamas war and the U.S. State Department’s worldwide caution travel advisory. To help pinpoint safe countries for travel in 2024, Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection has published its “Safest Destinations” report for the ninth year in a row. The report ranks both the top safety countries and the top safest cities globally. This year’s top safest countries are: Canada, Switzerland, and Norway. View of St. Moritz in Switzerland, the second highest-ranking country on a new "safest places to ... [+] travel" list from Berkshire Hathaway. The safest cities in the world are: Honolulu, Hawaii; Montreal, Quebec; and Reykjavik, Iceland. While Nordic countries and cities are regulars on top safety lists, it’s important to note that Iceland this month declared a “state of emergency” amid a rise in seismic activity and the “significant likelihood” that the Fagradalsfjall volcano will erupt. Safety in the context of travel, of course, can come in a number of forms. It can be places free of terrorism, destinations where you’re sheltered from severe-weather events, countries that have solid infrastructure to help prevent accidents on the road, and regions where travelers of color and LGBTQ+ travelers feel safe and comfortable. For its list, the insurance company surveyed 1,702 travelers and also considered data points from third-party sources to evaluate safety concerns such as terrorism, weather emergencies, health measures, and the safety of underrepresented groups. Honolulu ranks as the No. 1 safest city to visit in 2024, according to Berkshire Hathaway. However, ... [+] the U.S. was absent from the safest countries list. Travelers must have visited the countries they’re rating within the last five years. The survey includes data from the Global Peace Index and the State Department’s travel safety ratings. The survey also incorporates GeoSure Global scores of the major cities in each country. The scores take a number of factors into consideration, including women’s safety, theft, basic freedoms, and health and medical factors. An important thing to note with Berkshire Hathaway’s report: The ratings are “predictive,” meaning it doesn’t account for the possibility of natural disasters. Surveys were conducted in August and September, and, as an example, Iceland is on this year’s list, despite the thousands of small earthquakes that have been shaking the country in recent weeks. Cherry blossoms in Kyoto, Japan in spring. Berkshire Hathaway’s list has traditionally been dominated by Scandinavian countries, Northern Europe, and destinations like Australia and New Zealand. This year, Asian and South American nations broke into the top 15 as Japan and Brazil both made the safest countries list. Last year, Brazil ranked No. 42.

2024-10-03 | Al Jazeera English | African health care poses challenges to startups filling the gaps | Startups trying to help African public health systems cater to the needs of everyday people, say they face barriers too. Lagos, Nigeria— Three months after she was born, Ayotunde Omitogun was diagnosed with an atrial septal defect (ASD), a birth defect that causes a hole in the heart. In 2013, 26 years later, she was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension (PH) caused by the untreated defect. In India where she went for surgery, doctors prescribed drugs to help manage her condition but because they were not available in Lagos where Omitogun lived, she had to rely on Nigerian patients travelling from India. Then COVID-19 happened. No one could travel. “So I was on and off my drugs which made me fall sick,” Omitogun, now 36, told Al Jazeera. In search of an alternative, Ayotunde reached out to a brand she had come across on Twitter earlier this year, Famasi Africa. Founded in 2020, it is a Nigeria-based health tech startup in Nigeria built to digitise doorstep delivery of medications and routine checkups. It is one of a new generation of startups seeking to help Africans overcome hurdles in healthcare on a continent where half of the 1.2 billion people cannot access quality healthcare. The lag is mostly due to an underfunding of the sector. This year, Nigeria allocated 1.58 trillion naira ($2 billion) to the sector, less than 10 percent of the overall budget. Like some of its neighbours, it falls short of a commitment by African leaders at the 2001 Abuja Declaration to allocate 15 percent of its budget to the health sector. Consequently, government hospitals usually lack the necessary infrastructure to carry out critical surgeries. Patients are often left unattended due to frequent strikes by doctors and other medical personnel; nurses in Zimbabwe still earn only around $50 a month and Lome hospital administrators say there are now more Togolese doctors in France than there are in Togo. No wonder then that a June 2022 survey by the World Health Organization found that Africa has a ratio of 1.55 health workers (physicians, nurses, and midwives) per 1000 people. Drugs are often off the shelf more than they are on it, in public dispensaries across Sub-Saharan Africa. And in some cases, the available drugs have turned out to be fake or expired. “Africa has faced a long history of local health supply chains being susceptible to the influx of substandard products,” Juddy Gitahi, a senior consultant at Canada-based Salient Advisory, told Al Jazeera. “Specifically, [The] Gambia announced that substandard cough syrup was responsible for the deaths of at least 70 children in 2022.” But Adeyinka Shittu, a researcher at Health Law Nigeria, a health ethics and law consulting firm, says Africa’s booming population is also a contributory factor to the dearth of resources. UN projections are that it will increase from 1.2 billion today to two billion by 2050. “[So] existing services are not adequate and thus is driving the need for the tech market,” Shittu said. “Across the world, tech is gaining more attention for its potential to spark innovation.” Indeed, a number of startups have emerged in recent years with technological solutions, to fill in these gaps. Online pharmacies have introduced virtual consultation services and counterfeit drug detection measures. In countries like Rwanda, drone delivery services are taking emergency health products to remote communities. According to a July 2023 market intelligencereportby Salient Advisory, a pan-African healthcare research advisory, there are about 350 startups helping bypass long-running challenges around efficient distribution of quality health products in Africa. Many of these startups experienced a boom during the Covid-19 pandemic, as public systems ground to a halt. The report added that “data-driven approaches can reverse long-standing norms” in public supply chains “historically hobbled by inefficiencies”. Some are now partnering with governments too. Kenya-based Maisha Meds, for instance, is a digital network of private pharmacies and clinics that has raised over $25m in funding since it was founded in 2017. It is now working on a health insurance plan to help low-income households tackle cases of malaria and entrench family planning. “The government has started to inquire about the software used and so we work with some government clinics and dispensaries in Kenya,” its founder Jessica Vernon told Al Jazeera. After getting in touch with Famasi which built an inventory management software to track drug stock across partner pharmacies, Omitogun has been getting supplies consistently. They come with regular reminders and a bespoke delivery plan aligned with her prescriptions. However, some of these startups are also encountering difficulties in going mainstream. Analysts like Gitahi predict reduced funding in 2023 amid a global economic slowdown. Already, some startups have undergone rounds of layoffs to cut down costs. This August, London-based Babylon Health, whose platform integrated artificial intelligence, filed for bankruptcy despite being once valued at nearly $2bn. It had a partnership with Rwanda to deliver virtual primary healthcare there and had over 2.8 million users. Last October, Nigerian genomics research firm 54gene laid off 100 employees; this September, it began winding down operations. But funding is not the only obstacle these startups are facing. A lack of proper internet infrastructure and fragmented healthcare systems means that the efforts of some of the startups are still ineffective beyond big, urban areas, experts say. “Across countries, infrastructure is [still] lacking,” Shittu said. “Nairobi, Johannesburg, Lagos are all developing in isolation and the rest of Africa is not at par.” Beyond that, there is also a delay in the adoption of progressive policies because of government bureaucracies but also due to the attitude of people toward medications. And while Omitogun says Famasi has helped ease the stress on her such that she now feels better, not everyone has embraced new technologies. Industry insiders say many prefer to still think of God as the ultimate – or only – physician, or to apportion their finances to catering to other needs first. “Africans don’t like to take care of their health until it is an emergency, then they start to look for which pharmacy has the drug, and which doctor to talk to and so we’d have to work extra fast to meet up in such situations,” Ayoola, Famasi’s co-founder said.

2024-10-13 | Al Jazeera English | Israel-Hamas war: A list of governments repatriating citizens from Israel | Which governments have organised chartered flights to help their citizens leave after Hamas attacks?

Here is a list of the governments that have organised special flights to help their citizens leave Israel: Australia has organised two flights on Friday and Sunday to bring back citizens from Israel, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Wednesday. Austria said its forces started to evacuate Austrians from Israel on Wednesday. A transport plane with a capacity of about 60 passengers took off from the Horsching airbase in Upper Austria for Cyprus. From there, the Austrians will be picked up from Israel. A third repatriation flight carrying 69 Brazilians left Israel late on Thursday after flights carrying 212 and 211 passengers on Wednesday and earlier on Thursday, respectively, the embassy of Brazil in Tel Aviv said. Two more flights are planned until Sunday. Air Canada will operate two special flights on Friday and Saturday from Athens to bring Canadians and permanent residents home from Israel. About 1,000 Canadians in Israel want to leave, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs said on Tuesday. A total of 209 Chileans have been evacuated to Athens and Madrid from Israel on three Boeing 737 flights, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on social media on Thursday. An initial flight with 110 Colombians on board landed at the Military Transport Air Command airbase on the outskirts of Bogota on Friday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairssaidon social media. A Cypriot ministerial committee on Tuesday activated a repatriation scheme known as Estia, which offers temporary accommodation and assistance to citizens of European Union and developing countries fleeing areas of crisis. Aviation officials said 11 extra flights to and from Israel were arranged on Monday. It included the scheduled repatriation of about 150 Cypriot pilgrims from Israel on Monday. Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky brought 34 Czech citizens back from Israel with him on a government plane after he stopped in the country while returning from a conference in Oman. The minister, who was the first foreign official to visit Israel since the attacks, the Czech government said, did not rule out sending another repatriation flight to Israel. Lipavsky arrived in Israel on Tuesday and landed in Prague early on Wednesday. The Danish government made available a C-130 Hercules cargo plane, which can carry about 120 passengers, for the evacuation of its citizens, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson told the Reuters news agency. The ministry said the flight would not operate before Friday. The first evacuation flight of Finns from Israel was cancelled due to a technical problem, Jussi Tanner, director general of consular services at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, said on social media. Tanner added that a Swedish and Finnish joint flight, scheduled for Friday, and a second Finnish evacuation flight were on schedule. France will organise additional repatriation flights from Tel Aviv on Friday and Saturday after a special Air France flight on Thursday. German airline Condor plans two flights on Sunday with a capacity of just under 500 passengers in total to evacuate German citizens from the Jordanian city of Aqaba near the Israeli border in coordination with the Federal Foreign Office. Five thousand Germans have registered to leave Israel, a Foreign Office spokesperson said on Wednesday, adding that the ministry could not say how many had left so far. The Icelandic Ministry of Foreign Affairs said a plane with 126 Icelanders, five Faroese, four Norwegians and 12 Germans as well as the flight crew and representatives from the ministry, had left for Keflavik in Iceland. A Foreign Ministry spokesperson said the flight was chartered and paid for by the Icelandic state. Italy arranged for seven flights on Tuesday and Wednesday as part of efforts to repatriate about 900 Italian citizens from Israel, the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. The latest flight bringing home Mexicans from Israel landed on Thursday. The Mexican army is carrying out humanitarian flights aimed at bringing home citizens, the government said on Monday. About 5,000 Mexican nationals are in Israel and about 300 have asked to leave, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said. The Netherlands will continue repatriation flights to get citizens out of Israel for as long as necessary, Dutch news agency ANP reported, citing the government. The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a military plane to Israel on Thursday after airline KLM said it had withdrawn an offer to the Dutch government for a flight, citing safety concerns. Norwegian Air cancelled a planned evacuation flight from Tel Aviv to Oslo on Thursday because of a lack of insurance cover, the carrier said. Poland will send military planes to evacuate its citizens from Israel, President Andrzej Duda said on Sunday. Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said Poland was sending two C-130 Hercules planes to evacuate about 200 Poles from Ben Gurion Airport. The arrival of a Portuguese military aircraft on Thursday in Lisbon carrying 22 people – eight Portuguese and 14 foreign nationals – ended the country’s mission to repatriate nationals who wanted to leave Israel, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. A Korean Air plane carrying 192 South Koreans from Tel Aviv arrived at Incheon airport, just outside the capital, Seoul, on Wednesday. Spain has sent two military aircraft to Israel to evacuate about 500 Spaniards, acting Defence Minister Margarita Robles said on Tuesday. An Airbus A330 with more than 200 Spaniards, EU citizens and nationals from other countries residing in Spain landed early on Wednesday in Torrejon de Ardoz military base on the outskirts of Madrid. Swiss citizens were flown from Israel to Zurich on Tuesday on a flight operated by Swiss International Air Lines. Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said on social media on Monday that evacuations would begin immediately. On Thursday, 15 Thais arrived at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport from Tel Aviv. Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Oleg Nikolenko said on Facebook that more than 1,000 Ukrainian citizens had requested help to leave Israel, adding that a first evacuation flight would be organised to Romania for Saturday. Nikolenko also said about 200 Ukrainians had asked to be evacuated from the Gaza Strip but that it was too dangerous to do so for now. The US Department of State will offer charter flights to help Americans leave Israel starting on Friday, the White House said after extensive talks with US airlines and pressure from Congress.

2024-11-20 | GlobeNewswire | Hut 8 drives innovative recycling initiative for the second year running, earning 44% more carbon credits than in 2022 | Toronto, Nov. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hut 8 Mining Corp. (Nasdaq | TSX: HUT) (“Hut 8” or “the Company”), one of North America’s largest, innovation-focused digital asset mining pioneers and high performance computing infrastructure providers, partnered with Sparta Group’s carbon credit program established by their e-waste division, ERS International, with a goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2025. In 2023, Hut 8 has submitted approximately 369 metric tonnes of electronic waste to the program, earning 7,500 metric tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent of serialized carbon credits. Under the recycling program, the first of its kind in Canada, after accounting for shipping and processing costs, for every metric tonne of carbon dioxide diverted from landfills, one carbon credit is generated. The carbon credits are verified by AET Group, who have been verifiers with BGIS and Brookfield. Efforts surrounding this initiative are ongoing, as Hut 8 staff recently completed a 3-week blitz, during which approximately 813,425 pounds (or 369 metric tonnes) of e-waste – including obsolete ASIC miners, hash-boards, power supply units (PSUs), cables, and other components – were collected, categorized, and loaded for shipping to ERS facilities. Once with ERS, the materials are either sold to third parties for re-use or are recycled appropriately – none of the materials are sent to landfills. Hut 8 is set to generate 7,500 carbon credits by the end of 2023, an increase of 44% from the 5,200 generated in 2022. All carbon credits generated in 2023 will be verified and received by Q2 2024. “We’re committed to finding innovative ways to reduce our carbon footprint, and this program has proven to be extremely effective in that regard,” said Arnold Lee, Director of ESG at Hut 8. “Not only are we able to generate verified carbon credits on the CSA Group registries, but our e-waste continues to be recycled and processed responsibly, while we simultaneously divert CO2from our atmosphere.” "We take great pride in the significant strides made at ERS through the E-carbon program,” said Joseph Cimorelli, Director of Global Business Development at ERS International. “Our collaboration with Hut 8 stands as a testament to the program's success, creating a lasting impact not only within the mining sector but resonating across industries. Hut 8’s team and their commitment to making environmentally impactful choices with their materials set a commendable standard for the industry. We look forward to the ongoing partnership, dedicated to responsibly addressing the e-waste challenges inherent in such a vast industry.” About Hut 8 Through innovation, imagination, and passion, Hut 8’s seasoned executive team is bullish on building and operating computing infrastructure that powers Bitcoin mining, traditional data centres, and emerging technologies like AI and machine learning.

2024-11-20 | GlobeNewswire | Global Home Insurance Market Size Is Surpassing USD 531.38 Billion by 2032, Growing at Projected 7.42% CAGR | Newark, Nov. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Brainy Insights estimates that the USD 259.75 billion in 2022 globalHome Insurance marketwill reach USD 531.38 billion by 2032. Insurers can encourage eco-friendly building practices, energy-efficient upgrades, and sustainable materials by offering coverage incentives. These factors align with the growing focus on environmental sustainability and eco-conscious homeowners. Additionally, blockchain technology can enhance transparency, reduce fraud, and streamline the management of insurance policies, particularly in property transactions and ownership transfers. As more individuals run businesses from their homes, insurers can offer specialized coverage tailored to the unique risks faced by home-based businesses, including protection against cyber threats, liability, and business interruption. Furthermore, pay-as-you-go insurance allows homeowners to pay premiums based on usage and risk factors. It can encourage safer behaviour and cost savings for responsible homeowners. Besides, the parametric insurance approach involves pre-defined triggers that automatically pay when specific conditions are met, such as wind speeds during a hurricane. It can provide faster, more transparent claims processing for natural disasters. Request to Download Sample Research Report -https://www.thebrainyinsights.com/enquiry/sample-request/13798 Report Coverage Details Key Insight of the global Home Insurance market Asia Pacific is expected to witness the highest market growth over the forecast period. The Asia Pacific region has experienced significant economic growth over the past few decades, leading to a growing middle class with rising disposable incomes. As people achieve a higher standard of living and homeownership becomes more attainable, the demand for home insurance has steadily increased. Additionally, the Asia Pacific region is the most populous in the world, and with a growing population, there is an increased need for housing and insurance. This demographic shift drives the demand for home insurance. The Asia Pacific region is also susceptible to various natural disasters, including earthquakes, typhoons, and flooding. These risks make homeowners keenly aware of the need for insurance coverage to protect their homes and possessions. As the cost of home insurance becomes more affordable and accessible, many households in the Asia Pacific region prefer to purchase policies, further boosting the market's growth. Besides, some regional governments are promoting homeownership and risk mitigation through initiatives that offer incentives for purchasing home insurance, especially in areas prone to natural disasters. In 2022, the dwelling coverage segment dominated the market with the largest share of 38.61% and revenue of 100.29 billion. The coverage segment includes content coverage, comprehensive coverage, dwelling coverage and other optional coverages. In 2022, the dwelling coverage segment dominated the market with the largest share of 38.61% and revenue of 100.29 billion. In 2022, the landlords segment dominated the market with the highest share of 68.72% and market revenue of 178.50 billion. The end user form segment is classified into landlords and tenants. In 2022, the landlords segment dominated the market with the highest share of 68.72% and market revenue of 178.50 billion. Advancement in market In February 2023: Allianz's Direct Home and Landlord insurance offerings have been extended to encompass additional regions in northern Queensland and Western Australia. This expansion comes from the company's decision to participate in the cyclone reinsurance pool, which is backed by the Federal Government, effective from January 1, 2023. With this expansion, many policyholders residing in high-cyclone risk areas in Northern Australia will experience the advantage of reduced premiums for their home and contents insurance. Procure Complete Research Report -https://www.thebrainyinsights.com/report/home-insurance-market-13798 Market Dynamics Driver: Legislative and regulatory changes. Changes in government regulations, particularly those related to building codes and insurance requirements, can have a significant impact on the home insurance market. These regulations are often introduced or modified in response to evolving risks, safety considerations, and the need to protect homeowners and insurers. One common example is the effect of stricter regulations in flood-prone areas. Government authorities regularly update building codes and construction standards to enhance the resilience of homes against natural disasters and other risks. Stricter building codes may require homes in certain areas to be built to withstand hurricanes, earthquakes, or other local hazards. In addition, stricter building codes can lead to safer and more resilient homes, which may result in fewer claims for insurers. This factor can positively impact the pricing and availability of home insurance in compliance with the new codes. Furthermore, government regulations that reinforce mortgage insurance requirements are critical in driving demand for home insurance. These requirements make it a standard practice for homeowners to purchase and maintain insurance coverage. Restraint: Lack of consumer awareness. Homeowners may need to appreciate the potential risks their homes face fully. This lack of awareness can lead to underestimating the importance of home insurance. They might assume that disasters or accidents are unlikely to affect them personally. In addition, some homeowners may need more financial literacy or a clear understanding of insurance. They need to grasp the financial impact of unexpected events, which can result in inadequate coverage or opting for the minimum required coverage. In regions with a history of stability and low incidence of disasters, homeowners may become complacent and assume they are immune to risks. This complacency can lead to paying attention to the need for comprehensive insurance coverage. Some homeowners may mistakenly believe that government assistance will fully cover losses in the event of a disaster. While government aid is available in certain cases, it is often limited and may only cover some expenses. Furthermore, home insurance policies can be complex, with different components for dwelling coverage, personal property, liability, and additional living expenses. Homeowners may need to understand what each component covers fully and pay more attention to their need for specific types of coverage. This lack of awareness can present challenges and hamper the growth of the home insurance market. Opportunity: Data analytics and risk assessment. Advanced data analytics enables insurers to collect, analyze, and interpret vast amounts of data from various sources. This data encompasses historical loss data, environmental factors, property attributes, claims history, and others. Insurers can use this information to gain a thorough understanding of the threats associated with insuring a particular property or area. In addition, with advanced data analytics, underwriters can make informed decisions by leveraging real-time and historical data to assess risk factors comprehensively. This factor leads to more efficient underwriting processes and allows underwriters to tailor coverage and pricing to meet specific risk profiles. Furthermore, geographic information systems (GIS) and geospatial data are integral to risk assessment. Advanced analytics can harness geospatial information to identify high-risk areas for perils such as flooding, wildfires, or crime. This factor enables insurers to offer coverage tailored to specific locations and risk levels. Challenge: Claims processing efficiency. Timely and efficient claims processing is vital for customer satisfaction. When policyholders experience a loss, they rely on their insurance provider to assist them promptly. Delays or cumbersome procedures can lead to frustration, erode trust, and tarnish the insurer's reputation. Efficient claims processing fosters trust and loyalty among policyholders. When insurers promptly and fairly settle claims, it reinforces the perception that policyholders are in good hands. This factor, in turn, encourages long-term relationships and customer retention. Additionally, an insurer's reputation is closely tied to its claims-handling capabilities. Negative experiences with claims can quickly spread through word-of-mouth, social media, and online reviews, potentially harming the company's image. Efficient claims processing helps protect and enhance the insurer's reputation. Furthermore, streamlining claims processing can be a significant competitive advantage. Insurers who excel in this area are more likely to draw the attention of new customers and retain existing ones. Customers often prioritize ease and speed of claims resolution when choosing an insurance provider. Interested to Procure the Research Report?

2024-11-21 | The Times of India | Sankara Nethralaya founder Dr SS Badrinath, who made eye care affordable, passes away at 83 | Agencies Badrinath utilized the life insurance funds left behind by his father to pursue his medical education at Madras Medical College. Renowned vitreoretinal surgeon, Dr Sengamedu Srinivasa Badrinath , who was the founder of Sankara Nethralaya and dedicated his life to improving the accessibility and affordability of eye care in India, passed away peacefully at his home in Chennai on Tuesday. The 83-year-old chairman emeritus of the esteemed hospital, who retired from active practice in 2019, had been battling age-related ailments. He is survived by his wife, Dr Vasanthi Badrinath , a pediatrician and Hematologist, as well as his two sons, Ananth Badrinath and Seshu Badrinath. The last rites were conducted at the Besant Nagar crematorium at 11 am, as confirmed by hospital sources. Born in Triplicane, Dr Badrinath was the youngest of seven siblings and tragically lost both his parents while still in his teens. He utilized the life insurance funds left behind by his father to pursue his medical education at Madras Medical College. Dr Badrinath furthered his studies in ophthalmology at Grasslands Hospital, New York University postgraduate medical school, and Brooklyn Eye and Ear Infirmary between 1963 and 1968. It was during this time that he met Dr Vasanthi, whom he married in 1967. In 1970, he began working at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston under the mentorship of Dr Charles L Schepens, while also successfully passing the examinations for the Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (Canada) and the American Board Examination in Ophthalmology. Subsequently, in 1970, he returned to India. Despite the challenges they faced, the couple remained dedicated to their work in Chennai. From 1970 to 1976, Dr Badrinath served as a consultant at the Voluntary Health Services in Adyar. He then established his private practice in ophthalmology and vitreoretinal surgery at H.M. Hospital (1970 to 1972) and later at Vijaya Hospital, Chennai (1973 to 1978). In 1974, Dr Badrinath successfully operated on Kanchi pontiff Sri Chandrasekerendra Saraswathi, and the following year, he was encouraged by Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal of the Kanchi Mutt to establish a hospital. In 1978, Dr S S Badrinath founded the Medical Research Foundation, which encompasses Sankara Nethralaya as its hospital unit. It is a registered society and a charitable non-profit ophthalmic organization. Dr Badrinath played a pivotal role in the construction of the hospital, relying heavily on donations from philanthropists and patients. He wanted to avoid the burden of debt from bank loans, ensuring that the hospital could provide subsidized treatment. Over the next forty years, Dr Badrinath and his team tirelessly delivered high-quality eye care at an affordable cost. They also focused on training ophthalmologists and paramedical personnel to combat blindness in India and conducted extensive research to find sustainable solutions for eye care issues. Dr Badrinath's contributions to the field of medicine were widely recognized. He received the Padma Sri award in 1983, the Padma Bhushan in 1999, and the Dr B C Roy National Award in 1991. His passion for eye care and dedication to serving the community will be remembered and cherished by all those whose lives he touched. Experience Your Economic Times Newspaper, The Digital Way!

2024-11-21 | The Times of India | France, US to propose ban on private finance to coal-fired plants at COP28 | Reuters Representative Image France, backed by the United States, plans to seek a halt to private financing for coal-based power plants during the U.N. climate conference later this month, three sources familiar with the deliberations told Reuters in India and Europe. The plan, which was communicated to India earlier this month, will deepen divisions at the COP28 summit in Dubai running from Nov. 30 to Dec. 12, with India and China opposed to any attempt to block construction of coal-fired power stations for their energy-hungry economies. France's minister of state for development Chrysoula Zacharopoulou told the Indian government about the plan, called the "New Coal Exclusion Policy", for private financial institutions and insurance companies, two Indian officials said. The plan to stop private financing for coal-fired power plants has not been previously reported. A spokesman for Zacharopoulou did not directly comment on emailed queries from Reuters but said the question of financial investments in coal had been discussed at several different multilateral forums over the past few years. India's environment, power and renewable energy, coal, external affairs and information ministries, the OECD and the French embassy in New Delhi did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment. A source in Europe familiar with the plan said the aim was to dry up private funding for coal power and that it was a top priority for French President Emmanuel Macron during COP28, seen as a crucial opportunity to accelerate action to limit global warming. The proposal provides for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to set coal-exit standards for private finance firms whose financing could be tracked by regulators, rating agencies and non-governmental organisations, the two Indian officials said. The U.S., European Union and Canada, among others, have been seeking a plan to expedite the phase-out of coal, which they have cited as the "number one threat" to climate goals. They are concerned private international financing continues to support large additions to coal capacity in developing nations, according to the plan shared by France with India. Some 490 gigawatts of new coal capacity, roughly equal to one-fifth of existing global capacity, is planned or under construction, mostly in India and China, the officials said. Rick Duke, Deputy U.S. Special Envoy on Climate Change, did not comment directly on the proposal but noted the expansion in coal-fired plants . "We are pushing to set an expectation globally that countries need to join us in the fastest possible power sector transition, including all that clean power deployment," Duke said. "And countries need to stop digging a deeper hole by building new unabated coal power plants, because unfortunately, there's still some 500 gigawatts of new coal-fired power plants in the pipeline globally, and the IPCC and the International Energy Agency have both been quite clear that that needed to stop already." Member countries are divided on emissions abatement technologies that are yet to evolve to commercial scale for use in developing countries, one of the Indian officials said. About 73% of electricity consumed in India is produced using coal, even though the country has increased its non-fossil capacity to 44% of its total installed power generation capacity. The country intends to resist the push to fix a deadline for a fossil fuel phase-out or phase-down at COP28, as coal will be its main energy source for a few more decades, and may ask members to shift their focus on reducing emissions from other sources. It may also push developed nations to become carbon negative rather than carbon neutral by 2050. Experience Your Economic Times Newspaper, The Digital Way!

This demographic shift is changing healthcare dynamics all around the world. As people age, they become more susceptible to degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Because embryonic stem cell research involves the killing of embryos, it has long been a subject of ethical debate, leading in moral and legislative constraints in a variety of domains. This has shifted the emphasis of stem cell research and therapeutic applications away from controversial sources and towards non-controversial sources such as adult stem cells and cord blood. As a result, it is becoming popular among individuals and institutions seeking the potential benefits of stem cell therapy without the ethical ambiguity of stem cell banking. Cord blood, in particular, has grown in prominence as a rich source of stem cells that is ethically sound. Families and healthcare practitioners recognise the value of keeping these cells as a form of biological insurance against future illnesses for the donor and potentially compatible family members.
