Zika virus can pass from a pregnant woman to her fetus. Zika is linked 
to microcephaly, a severe birth defect that signals a problem with brain 
development. If you are pregnant and living in an area with Zika, you should talk to 
your doctor or other healthcare provider about Zika, even if you ...don’t feel sick. 
Use this checklist to make sure you and your doctor or other healthcare provider 
talk about these important questions.

The influx of specialists in places like Chile, Argentina, Colombia, and Peru has helped address critical gaps in care—patients in poorer or rural communities wait months for special...ty care and surgeries have years-long waiting lists. But a talent inflow isn’t a quick fix for stressed systems. Nations must construct reasonable credentialing procedures—a process that can take years—and match specialists with jobs where they’re most needed.
 Venezuela’s uncertain future also means questioning how countries will cope if doctors decide to return home

The latest instalment of our special report from inside Venezuela exposes a healthcare system where drugs and doctors are harder and harder to come by, and shortages of water and electricity help disease and death thrive.

Owing to the fact that many tasks do not necessarily require the knowledge and skills of a doctor, interest in using nurses to expand the capacity of the primary care workforce is increasing. Substitution of nurses for doctors is one strategy used to improve access, efficiency, and quality of care. This is the first update of the Cochrane review published in 2005.

It argues that an understanding of global health is important for all students and practicing doctors, rather than being an ‘add-on’ or ‘option’ for specialization.

It  outlines  the  details  of  the  MANAS  model  and  provides information  on  treatments  that  are  relevant  to  doctors  working  in  Primary  Health  Clinics
