U.N. Calls For Increased Commitment To Help Vulnerable Countries Prepare For Natural Disaster
Instead of responding to natural disasters after they happen, aid should be dedicated to helping countries prepare for future disasters, John Holmes, the U.N."s emergency relief coordinator, said Friday, Reuters reports. "You can"t stop the disasters happening but you can make an enormous difference to whether they kill people and, to some extent at least, have their livelihoods destroyed," Holmes said during a press conference in Geneva that came at the end of a week-long meeting that tackled ideas on how to best prepare poorer countries for natural disasters.

Petition Against Automatic Substitution Of Anti-epileptic Drugs

From time to time, Headway is made aware of worthy causes it believes it should provide its support to. We were recently contacted by a number of Epilepsy charities and concerned Headway members about planned changes to prescribing guidelines, which will require pharmacists to substitute branded Epilepsy medication for cheaper, generic versions. Whilst we understand that the NHS need to save money where possible, the active ingredient in these generic drugs can vary by as much as 45%, which can have a profound negative effect on a person"s quality of life. Headway agrees with the Joint Epilepsy Council"s position that only a doctor with special interest in epilepsy should change someone"s epilepsy medication, not a pharmacist or health economist. We would like to invite you to join the campaign against these proposals by signing a petition on the government"s Number 10 website. The petition was created by the Joint Epilepsy Council. Please click the link below to read more and to sign the petition. For more information on Epilepsy after brain injury, you can download our factsheet from the Factsheets page. Headway
