Thereafter the person will be clinically assessed by a doctor and laboratory testing for COVID-19 will subsequently be done if indicated. • Laboratory testing of persons sent by external doctors for COVID-19 laboratory testing at a Netcare Group facility Individuals who have been sent to a Netcare Group facility for COVID-19 laboratory testing by a doctor who is not practising at the Netcare Group facility will not be allowed access to the laboratories inside the Netcare facility, unless the person requires medical assistance. This brochure which contains a list of Ampath, Lancet and Pathcare laboratories will be made available to individuals not needing medical assistance, to guide them as to where they can have the testing done. In the case of the person needing medical assistance, they will be directed to the emergency department. No person with COVID-19 risk will be allowed into a Netcare facility for laboratory testing without having consulted a doctor first. • Risk assessment and screening of all persons wanting to enter a Netcare Group facility Visitors, staff, external service providers, doctors and other healthcare providers are being risk assessed at established points outside of Netcare Group hospitals, primary care centres and mental health facilities, prior to them entering the facility.

  • THE NAIROBI DECLARATION an African Appeal for an AIDS Vaccine Participants - Nairobi, 14 June 2000
    WHO THETHE NAIROBINAIROBI DECLARATION An African Appeal for an AIDS Vaccine Nairobi, 14 June 2000 We, the participants gathered in Nairobi, Kenya from 12 to 14 June 2000, on the occasion of a consultation organized under the auspices of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the Society on AIDS in Africa (SAA) and the African Council of AIDS Service Organization (AfriCASO) to discuss ways to accelerate the development and future availability of HIV vaccines for Africa, Recognize the gravity and adverse impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic and its role as the leading cause of illness and death on the African continent. Are aware that two-thirds of the estimated 34 million people with HIV/AIDS in the world today live in Africa and that the spread of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa has continued largely unabated despite numerous interventions. Are concerned that the impact of HIV/AIDS is arresting or reversing the important political and socioeconomic gains of the past decades in the fields of health, education, agriculture and other sectors in Africa. Are convinced that an effective HIV vaccine offers the best long-term hope to control the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Are desirous of contributing to the global effort to develop a safe, effective and affordable HIV vaccine(s) consistent with the principle of an international public good that benefits all human kind. Are determined to harness the current initiatives of vaccine development and research in the industrialized countries towards accelerating African efforts to identify a suitable and appropriate HIV vaccine for the continent.

  • FAST!!! Save Our Oceans? … No One Else Will! by Roxanna Williams
    Est. 2005 VOLUME XIV ISSUE 28, 14th JUNE 2019, PRICE £1 An independent newspaper in association with Saint FM and St Helena Online Government Downplays Robbery in Pretoria In a press statement yesterday St Helena Government said that: “St Helena Government (SHG) is aware of an incident in Pretoria today where three St Helenians accompanying medical referral patients were held at gunpoint while out shopping. The three persons were not harmed but some of their belongings were stolen. The persons are safe. They are receiving pastoral support and assistance from MSO and the South African Police are investigating the incident. The Health Directorate has contacted the families of those affected to make them aware of events. SHG recognises that people will be concerned following the news of this incident. SHG is liaising with the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) in Pretoria for further security advice to help St Helenians stay safe whilst abroad. This is an unfortunate incident which could have happened anywhere in the world. Whilst Pretoria is relatively safe and low-crime by South African standards, sadly criminals can operate anywhere at any time. Patients, their families and all persons overseas are reminded to be extra vigilant particularly in areas where recent crimes have taken place. Keep large amounts of money, expensive jewellery, cameras and phones out of sight and only take with you what you need for the day. Where possible secure your valuables in your hotel room. Most visits to South Africa are trouble-free, but sensible precautions should be taken to protect your safety.” It appears that SHG is trying to brush off the seriousness of this event.

Mazrui* INTRODUCTION As the apartheid political order was coming to an end in South Af- rica, the country faced three alternative scenarios I: The Nuremberg option: This was the theoretical concept of trying and punishing the worst offenders against humanity and civilized standards. In 1945-46 the Nuremberg process tried and sentenced Nazi war criminals and those who committed crimes against humanity. This option was focused on alleged perpetrators. II: The Reparation option: This was the theoretical concept of having the victims of oppression compensated for their suffering. Individual Jewish survivors were paid reparations by the post-war Federal Republic of Germany. And the State of Israel - which did not even exist at the time of the Nazi Holocaust - was also given "compensation" by post-war Germany.

CHAPTER 2 A Wind of Change? White Redoubt and the Postcolonial Moment in South Africa, 1960-1963 Ryan M. Irwin n July 1963, US Secretary of State Dean Rusk held a private meeting with Dr. IWillem Naude, the ambassador of South Africa. 1 "A rough time [is] ahead," Rusk explained as the representative sat down in his office. "We are under enormous pressure but do not intend to give in." Several members of the UN African group states at the United Nations had successfully protested the prac­ tice of apartheid-South Africa's system of institutionalized racial discrimina­ tion-in the Security Council that year and pressure was rapidly mounting in the General Assembly for mandatory economic sanctions against South Africa. The ambassador looked across Rusk's desk and noted that it was "ironi­ cal" that ten years earlier they had been allies in the Cold War and now his country was being isolated in its struggle against a "common enemy." He went on to assert: "The United States [is] to a large degree responsible for releasing these revolutionary forces in the world.
