The WHO and the European Union recognise that poor nutrition is a leading cause of the major non-communicable diseases, including CVD, type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer, and contributes substantially to the global burden of disease, death and disability. Therefore, it is no surprise that Rayner and Scarborough report that, in the UK, food-related ill health is responsible for approximately 10% of morbidity and mortality and costs the National Health Service approximately £6 billion annually. In addition, the diets of those on low incomes may contribute significantly to health inequalities, as they can fall considerably short of the latest nutritional recommendations. Read more..

Abstract: Sanofi-aventis, the largest pharmaceutical company in Europe and the fourth-largest in the world, began a partnership with the World Health Organization in 2001 to fight sleeping sickness and other neglected diseases affecting the world’s poorest people.

Only combined action—drug donation, subsidies to fund distribution programmes and new research and development to improve treatments and diagnostics—could create a reasonable chance to bring sleeping sickness back under control. Over the first five years, 36 African countries benefited from the partnership. Click here to read more…

Pursuing a “go-it-alone” strategy through the end of phase II trials, thus postponing the decision of whom, if any, to partner with. The first two alternatives were somewhat consistent with Abgenix’ past business model that yielded revenues in two ways: 1) by issuing exclusive licenses to use XenoMouse for drug development targeting specific diseases to leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and 2) by undertaking the early stages of XenoMouse based drug development and subsequently selling off the rights to further develop and bring the drugs onto the market. In contrast, the “go-it-alone” method would require an expansion of Abgenix’ resource base and capabilities: a more risky approach with the potential of a relatively high value generation.

Ayurveda, an ancient system of treatment and healthcare, has expanded tremendously in recent times. This has led to the mushrooming of ayurvedic centres across the country. The various herbal combinations, treatments and massage procedures used in Ayurveda have been known to treat many disorders and diseases. Speaking about his centre, Dr Mruthyunjaya, CEO, Shathayu Ayurveda, says : “Our ayurvedic centre is owned and run by doctors. Majority of the ayurvedic centres in India are more like massage centres, rather than pure treatment centre; whereas in Shathayu, we target prevention, cure and wellness.
