Call to stop cervical cancer
Latest News
Commat has signed on to the call to stop cervical cancer to ensure that life-saving new technologies to prevent cervical cancer reach women and girls around the world without delay, because:
Cervical cancer, a disease caused by infection with some types of the human papillomavirus (HPV), affects half a million women globally every year.
Globally, more than a quarter of a million women die from cervical cancer every year.
Due to gross disparities between wealthy and poor countries in access to screening and treatment, more than 80% of the cases and deaths from cervical cancer occur in developing countries, making it the most common cancer-related cause of death for women in these countries.
Powerful new tools, including HPV vaccines are being developed that have the potential to significantly reduce the burden of cervical cancer around the world, improve reproductive health, and save millions of women's lives.
Only a comprehensive prevention strategy that pairs cervical cancer vaccination with screening and treatment programmes will reverse the threat of cervical cancer to women and girls worldwide.
We are aware, however, that current HPV vaccines act against only two or four subtypes which are responsible for about 75% of cases. Data from some Asian countries indicate that these subtypes occur in only about 50% of cases.

Speech by Baroness Royall: New target, new prospects: future direction for MDG5 on maternal health
Commat Events
Speech made by Baroness Royall
Commonwealth Medical Trust (COMMAT) in collaboration with the British Medical
Association (BMA)
One day conference on:
“New target, new prospects: future direction for MDG 5 on maternal
health”
I’d like to begin by thanking COMMAT and the BMA for organising this
important meeting. Gareth Thomas MP – Parliamentary Under Secretary of
State for International Development – had been invited to give this keynote
address but unfortunately is unable to attend due to other commitments. However,
as you know maternal health is an issue that the UK government is deeply committed
to and I am delighted that Gareth has asked me to address you on his behalf.

New target, new prospects: future directions for MDG5 on maternal health
Commat Events
A one-day conference organized by the Commonwealth Medical Trust (Commat) in collaboration with the British Medical Assocation
Black Suite, BMA House, Tavistock Square, London, WC1H 9JP
Tuesday 27 March 2007
Background
Following the adoption of the Millennium Declaration in 2000, eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were elaborated for its implementation by 2015. MDG5 on maternal health is one of three directly concerned with health, the others being MDG4 on child mortality and MDG6 on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases. The target for the implementation of MDG5 was defined as ‘to reduce by three-quarters, between 1990 and 2015, the maternal mortality ratio’, and two indicators were identified for monitoring -- one on reducing the maternal mortality ratio and the other on the proportion of births attended by skilled health personnel. At this time, which is nearly at the mid-point of the time for implementation, it is unlikely that the target will be achieved in many developing countries.

Rebuilding Umar’s villages — one year on
Latest News
The first snow of the winter has fallen in the Mansehra District of
the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) of Pakistan and Pakistan
Administered Kashmir (PAK), 14 months after the devastating earthquake
struck killing at least 70,000 (but more likely 100,000) people. While
our lives have moved on, those who lost their homes, their husbands or
wives, or their children are still coming to terms with the realities
and are still trying to rebuild their shattered lives.
As Commat’s
Director, I visited several of the ‘villages’ or towns in the NWFP that
were most severely affected earlier this year. Balakot, which was close
to the epi-centre of the earthquake, has been declared a ‘red zone’ and
will not be re-built. Its surviving inhabitants, 30 percent of the
pre-quake population of 50,000, have been dispersed to other areas. In
the other villages the survivors of the quake are still living in tents
and are now facing their second winter under canvas.

Global strategy aims for effective malaria vaccine by 2025
WHO News
4 DECEMBER 2006 | BANGKOK -- A report by the world's
leading international health organizations today calls for joint action
to accelerate the development and licensing of a highly effective
malaria vaccine.
The Malaria Vaccine Technology Roadmap, a
new global strategy, is being launched today in Bangkok at the Global
Vaccine Research Forum which is taking place from 3 to 6 December.
"Having a highly protective malaria vaccine and
putting it into widespread use in affected areas would be a true
achievement for public health. It would fulfill an urgent need,” said
Dr Marie-Paule Kieny, Director of the Initiative for Vaccine Research,
World Health Organization (WHO). "The Roadmap marks the first
concerted global attempt at mapping out a shared plan of action for
making a preventive malaria vaccine reality."

Opportunities for Africa's newborns
WHO News
New report shows improvements in child survival in Africa for the first time since the 1980s — but more than a million African babies still die in the first month of life
22 NOVEMBER 2006 | JOHANNESBURG/GENEVA -- Sub-Saharan Africa remains
the most dangerous region in the world for a baby to be born — with
1.16 million babies dying each year in the first 28 days of life — but
six low-income African countries, Burkina Faso, Eritrea, Madagascar,
Malawi, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania, have made
significant progress in reducing deaths among newborn babies, according
to a new report published today.
The report, Opportunities for Africa’s newborns, brings
together new data and analysis from a team of 60 authors and nine
international organizations from the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn
and Child Health, (PMNCH). The Partnership represents developing and
donor countries, non-governmental agencies, foundations and
multi-lateral organizations, including the World Health Organization.*
