The prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) has been steadily decreasing since the year 2000, but despite the colossal effort put into policy changes and government programs, TB has now surpassed HIV/AIDS as the leading cause of death from infectious diseases. One in three people worldwide are infected with TB, but far fewer actually get sick. The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced a plan to lower deaths from TB by 90%, which they set as a goal for 2030.
A global epidemic
In 2014, an estimated 1.5 million people died from TB and 1.2 million from HIV/AIDS, which includes 400,000 people who had HIV/AIDS and TB. TB is often opportunistic, preying on people with a weak immune system. Over 95% of infections occur in developing countries where healthcare is limited and government budgets stretched thin.
Promoting public awareness of TB is extremely important so that people can recognize symptoms and seek help as soon as possible. An obvious problem with fighting TB is the funding that goes into TB programs. Compared to global investments for HIV/AIDS, which was $21.7 billion in 2014, a paltry $6.6 billion was spent on TB prevention.
A serious problem that plagues developing countries is that physicians are reluctant to report all cases to local disease control centers and as a result statistics provided by government agencies are unreliable. The gap in the figures is quite disturbing. It is estimated that of the 9.6 million who got TB last year, a mere 62.5% of them (6 million people) were reported to government agencies, which means that 38% of the new cases weren’t diagnosed or recorded officially. If some countries are hiding the facts, organizations like the WHO are seriously underestimating the extent of disease prevalence.
The countries which had the highest incidence rates of TB in 2014 were Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, People’s Republic of China and South Africa.
Addressing the problem of drug resistance
Studies have shown that in every country surveyed, TB strains that are resistant to standard treatment are present. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a form of TB that does not respond to first-line treatment, isoniazid and rifampicin. The main causes of MDR-TB are inadequate treatment, incorrect or inappropriate use of anti-TB drugs, or the use of low-quality medications. MDR-TB can be effectively treated with second-line drugs, but these may be limited in availability and are much more costly.
Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is a dangerous form of TB that fails to respond to even second-line treatment and requires serious drugs that often cause side-effects. Cure rates for MDR-TB are about 50%, and XDR-TB cure rates are even lower.
Effective decision-making
Examining the causes and adopting new strategies can help avoid the spread of drug resistant forms of TB. The United States recently released a National Action Plan to combat MDR-TB on a national and global level. Developing countries shouldn’t be hiding the true numbers, because underestimating TB prevalence can be detrimental, especially if it’s a drug resistant strain. TB is a curable disease and there is no reason why anyone should suffer.

Dear Renu,
Certainly chest pain is not something to ignore. But you should know that it has many possible causes. your husband may feel chest pain anywhere from his neck to upper abdomen.Here are some of the more common causes of chest pain.
1. Pericarditis. This is an inflammation or infection of the sac around the heart. It can cause pain similar to that caused by angina. it often causes a sharp, steady pain along the upper neck and shoulder muscle.
2. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This genetic disease causes the heart muscle to grow abnormally thick. Sometimes this leads to problems with blood flow out of the heart. Chest pain and shortness of breath often occur with exercise
3. Mitral valve prolapse is a condition in which a valve in the heart fails to close properly. A variety of symptoms have been associated with mitral valve prolapse, including chest pain, palpitations, and dizziness, although it can also have no symptoms, especially if the prolapse is mild.
4.Pneumonia or lung abscess. These lung infections can cause pleuritic and other types of chest pain, such as a deep chest ache.
So does your husband feel any of this then take it as something serious and get the appointment of heart specialist. Who can help you to understand the causes of pain & diagnose.

normally the accidental insurance is not covered by the health insurance policies and covered by accidental insurance policy. You need to contact you health provider if there is any clause to put the accidental claims also in your health insurance.

there is no symptom of kidney stone unless until it starts travelling down to urinary bladder or becomes too heavy in the Kidney itself. the early symptoms can include a severe pain in abdomen (depends which side the stone is) which resonates to Back. Lower back pain, vomiting includes other symptoms. If there is infection that you may have fever, cold chills and vomiting. It can be confirmed via urine test which may have RBC in the blood which indicates infection in the urinary system.
The stone can be detected via ultrasound in most of the cases as the Xray is not a full proof way to detect the stone. CT Scan anyway is the most accurate of the above but you don't need it unless until there is nothing detected via Ultra sound.
If the stone is small like less than 6mm there is high chance that you may not need operation but as the stone grow in size a operation may be needed depending on the size. there are several Auyervedic as well as desi medicine available so exhaust your option in alternate medicine before deciding on the operation.

Whether it’s information-sharing between patients and doctors or aiding in a high-risk surgery, it’s clear that dynamic applications of technology are well underway in disrupting the healthcare industry.
In the recent years, the term Healthcare Software has drawn considerable attention of those in the field of medicine. As an aftermath, they're being brought into use more and more by the hospitals and clinics all across the globe. These software are proving to be imperative to the healthcare industry as it allows the medical professionals to monitor and manage healthcare organisations as well as their patient records. As per a report published by the IMARC Group in June 19, the market value of healthcare software is expected to reach as high as $29.9 billion by 2023, with a CAGR of 7.4% from 2018 to 2023.
From virtual healthcare to robotic assisted surgeries, the multi-fold benefits of the advancements in the healthcare industry clearly indicate that tomorrow's medicine is going to be highly dependant on technological codes than human proficiency in the field.
There are fast paced developments are taking place in healthcare technologies day by day. Here I discuss couple of them.
Electronic Medical Record (EMR)/ Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Electronic Medical Record is an integral part of medical practices today. These healthcare software deal with everyday operations and streamline clinical workflow.
With this type of healthcare software, medical providers can enter and track patient information (such as diagnoses and procedures) and process insurance and payment information.
Important components of medical practice management software
Patient information management allows staff to store electronic patient data including demographic information, insurance information, medical histories, medications, and reasons for medical visits.Scheduling allows medical staff to schedule and track patient visits.Reporting enables healthcare providers to get detailed information regarding finances, quality of care, and other important data.Financial management provides robust accounting features like payroll and time-sheet management, accounts receivable/payable, etc.
Healthcare CRM
A healthcare CRM is software that helps healthcare organizations acquire, develop, and maintain customer relationships more efficiently and effectively. A CRM allows medical staff to manage patient data, provide patients with relevant and timely information, and use marketing strategies as entryways to learn more about their customers.
Benefits of a healthcare CRM
Healthcare CRM software provides great benefits such as:
Improved patient care. A healthcare CRM allows physicians to provide more patient-centered care by increasing inbound communication. CRM software stores patient data such as test results, treatment history, and diagnoses. The software helps facilitate communication between patients and physicians so they can provide proper patient care.
Automated workflow. A medical CRM automates healthcare workflows like patient referrals, billing, and prescriptions. Workflow automation saves time and resources for medical staff and provides patients with more reliable care.
Patient outreach. A healthcare CRM lets healthcare organizations to execute marketing campaigns more strategically by providing deep insights into patient data.
Healthcare is evolving at a very fast pace and as more and more healthcare organizations are adopting information technology, the whole cycle of healthcare management is getting metamorphosed. In this transforming landscape, the healthcare industry is fast driving towards being signalized by untangled operating environments with easy-to-access real-time information. This influences the transparency, all strands of accounting & financial reporting, helps the healthcare organizations improve efficiency, and the operations of protective or essential medical techniques to enhance an individual’s welfare. The healthcare industry requires supplemental rectifications, the upgraded value of information, services & technology with ease of access. Since organizing day-to-day medical statistics & data necessitates a huge deal of trials and resources. The future is concentrating on automated custom healthcare software solutions which provide reliable access to hospital information and add worth in the transformation of the current health ecosystem.
This technology interchange has encouraged the field of "health informatics," which narrates the convergence of health care, information technology, and business. With the consumerization of healthcare -- patients, providers and peers are using the healthcare technology to their benefit which helps the patients to connect to their service providers easily and that helps in driving a better consumer experience.
