Download or read book Nordic co operation on combating antimicrobial resistance written by Nordic Council of Ministers and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether it is a doctor treating a patient for pneumonia, or a farmer administering antibiotics to pigs in an attempt to keep various diseases at bay, antibiotics are widely used and taken for granted in many sectors nowadays. This has not always been the case, and this will not be the case in the future if the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is not curbed. The escalating and significant increase in the use of antibiotics has led to a global and growing challenge, in the form of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and microbes in many different areas. If the right policy decisions are not made today, the consequences may be grave in the decades to come. As many as one million people may die each year as a result of antibiotic resistance and the number is growing. The latest calculations show that if the current situation is allowed to continue unchecked, it will lead to a humanitarian and economic disaster. Some forecasts predict that by 2050, multi-resistant bacteria and microbes will kill up to 10 million people worldwide each year. The report 12 initiatives, Nordic co-operation on combating antimicrobial resistance, is a white paper adopted by the Nordic Council. It is developed on the basis of hearing “You don’t die from pneumonia, do you...?”, which took place on 6 December 2016 in the Parliament in Copenhagen, at the request of the Danish Presidency of the Nordic Council Presidium and the President of the Council, Henrik Dam Kristensen. Experts from all five Nordic countries and the appropriate academic environments attended. The report describes at strategy with 7 overall objectives that can be implemented through 12 well-founded tangible initiatives. The initiatives can be efficiently implemented through Nordic cooperation. The Nordic Council has declared its support for the initiatives and recommends the Nordic Council of Ministers to prepare and initiate the implementation.

This book was released on 2009-09-16 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book is very valuable as actual information about the health systems in the Nordic countries and the changes that have been made during the last two decades. It informs well both about the similarities within the 'Nordic Health Model' and the important differences that exist between the countries." Bo Könberg, County Governor, Former Minister of Health and Social Insurance in Sweden (1991-94) "This book is a rich, interesting and very useful document. I have been looking, for example, today for precise information on political governing which is not displayed anywhere else. It will be of importance in many aspects!" Johan Calltorp MD PhD, Professor of Health Policy and Management, The Nordic School of Public Health, Gotenburg "The publishing of this book about the Nordic health care systems is a major event for those interested not only in Nordic health policy and health systems but also for everybody interested in comparative health policy and health systems. It is the first book in its kind. It covers the four 'large' Nordic countries, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland, and does so in a very systematically comparative way. The book is well organized, covers 'everything' and is analytically sophisticated." Ole Berg, nstitute of Health Management and health economics, University of Oslo, Norway This book examines recent patterns of health reform in Nordic health care systems, and the balance between stability and change in how these systems have developed. The health systems in Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland are investigated through detailed comparisons along a variety of policy-driven parameters. The following themes are explored: Politicians, patients, and professions Financing, production, and distribution The role of the primary health sector The role of public health Internal management mechanisms Impact of the European Union The book probes the impact of these topics and then contrasts the development across all four, allowing the reader to gain a sense of perspective both on the individual countries as well as on the region as a whole. The editors also explore the extent to which a Nordic Health Care Model exists, and the degree to which that model will continue to help explain the future direction of health policy-making in these four countries. An additional chapter on recent developments in Iceland completes the work. Contributors: Tinna L. Ásgeirsdóttir, Paula Blomquist, Johan Calltorp, Terje P. Hagen, Unto Häkkinen, Peter K.

Book excerpt: The Nordic countries have collaborated in setting guidelines for dietary composition and recommended intakes of nutrients for several decades through the joint publication of the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR). This 5th edition, the NNR 2012, gives Dietary Reference Values (DRVs) for nutrients, and compared with earlier editions more emphasis has been put on evaluating the scientific evidence for the role of food and food patterns contributing to the prevention of the major diet-related chronic diseases. Recommendations on physical activity are included and interaction with physical activity has been taken into account for the individual nutrient recommendations wherever appropriate. A chapter on sustainable food consumption has been added. A Nordic perspective has been accounted for in setting the reference values.The NNR 2012 has used an evidence-based and transparent approach in assessing associations between nutrients and foods and certain health outcomes. Systematic reviews form the basis for the recommendations of several nutrients and topics, while a less stringent update has been done for others. The systematic reviews and individual chapters have been peer reviewed and the systematic reviews are published in the Food & Nutrition Research journal. The draft chapters were subject to an open public consultation. Recommendations have been changed only when sufficient scientific evidence has evolved since the 4th edition. The primary aim of the NNR 2012 is to present the scientific background of the recommendations and their application. A secondary aim is for the NNR 2012 to function as a basis for the national recommendations that are adopted by the individual
