Two important symposia have been held in London to discuss healthcare issues posing significant dilemmas to world leaders in the 21st Century. "The Future of Primary Health Care" was attended by public health experts from around the Globe to assess the best options for improving primary health care in the future. It was held on the 30th anniversary of the Alma Ata Declaration made in 1977 which was intended as a blueprint for health provision and identified primary health care as the means through which the global goal of "Health for All" could be achieved. The second meeting, on "Mental Health in Fragile States", was held to raise the profile of mental health care in zones where conflict has taken place or is still happening. Analyses of the key issues and how to deal with them effectively were discussed by top experts from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and associated organisations. Peter Goodwin attended both meetings and talked with some of the key speakers.AliaIbrahim Zai, Egbert Sondorp, Gill Walt, Lucy Gilson, Ravi Narayan, Richard Horton, Vikram Patel, Willem Van De Put

My dad was tentatively diagnosed 3 years ago with maybe multiple mylenoma. After many tests, the doctor said it was arthritis.
He was recently slated for a bowel resection but due to his low platlet count and low white blood count he now has to have a bone marrow biopsy, which could result in this mylenoma diagnosis again. Is this a hard condition to evaluate?
He has been in the hospital for 5 weeks on intervenice feeding due to a fistulae from his small bowel to the outside of his right side and last Friday the doctor said his blood was good as far as the nutrients/protiens etc. Would they not have checked the platlets and white blood count that time as well?
Where can I go to have my questions answered or at least somewhere for a better explanation?
thank you
