KARACHI, Feb 21 2007 (IPS) – Pakistan has intensified efforts to eradicate the polio virus with a new vaccination drive that targets 12 high-risk districts in southern Sindh province where three new cases were reported recently, bringing the total number of polio incidents countrywide to four since the start of the year.
The door-to-door anti-polio campaign from Feb. 20 to 22 is part of the Health Ministry s Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI). Pakistan s Polio Eradication Initiative (PEI) was launched in 1994 in collaboration with the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPI) which was begun six years before.

But despite a gargantuan effort by an army of some 60,000 frontline health workers in Pakistan, who go from house to house to administer two…

A week ago, a depot storing armaments exploded in the middle of 14 densely populated poor neighbourhoods in the Mozambican capital of Maputo. Explosions went on for several hours with bullets and rockets blasting off in all directions.

Currently over 100 people are confirmed dead and about 500 injured, many of them serious and requiring amputations. Nobody escaped the impact. Maputo residents at least …

LA PAZ, Jun 8 2007 (IPS) – Bolivia s constituent assembly has just two months left to finishing rewriting the country s constitution. In 10 months of sessions, it has approved a single article, regarding the right to hold football matches at high altitudes, in response to the International Football Federation s (FIFA) ban on high-altitude international matches.
Among the thorny issues being debated by the 255 assembly members, 134 of whom belong to the leftwing governing Movement Towards Socialism (MAS), is the question of the right to life, linked to the subject of the legalisation of abortion.

A proposal set forth by the assembly s Committee on Rights, Duties and Guarantees to enshrine the right to life from conception in the new constitution has tri…

NEW DELHI, Jul 8 2007 (IPS) – Try as it might Dow Chemical Company is unable to shake off the criminal liability it inherited for the 1984 Bhopal gas disaster and also responsibility to clean up toxic contamination at the site of the pesticides plant, originally owned and operated by Union Carbide Corporation.
Since 2001 Dow has fully owned Union Carbide and legally taken over its liabilities, including culpability for the world s worst industrial accident which killed over 3,000 people within the first week and inflicted enormous chemical damage upon more than 200,000 others. The injuries led to a further 15,000 deaths and terrible suffering among the survivors.

To make matters worse for Dow, voluntary agencies working on behalf of the survivors have tu…

LIMA, Aug 10 2007 (IPS) – Far from halting the source that is poisoning the Andean city of La Oroya, which is home to the Doe Run smelting complex, the Peruvian government ordered a contingency plan for the days when air pollution is worst, as if it were dealing with a natural disaster.

At issue are updates and enhancements to environmental, health, and social guidelines from the World Bank s private sector arm. Green groups and international charities say the proposed changes lack adequate standards in critical areas such as water contamination and the disposal of toxic …

WASHINGTON, Oct 4 2007 (IPS) – When Dominique Strauss-Kahn takes over as head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) next month, he will confront demands for the agency to more actively support health and education spending in the world s poorest countries.
Strauss-Kahn has pledged to revitalise the fund s development efforts as IMF managing director.

Africa Action and 100-plus other pressure groups, in a letter to the former socialist finance minister from France, demand decisive action within the first 100 days of his five-year term, due to start Nov. 1.

If Mr. Strauss-Khan is serious about IMF reform, these issues must be at the top of his agenda, said Marie Clarke Brill, interim executive director at Washington-based Africa Action.
