The world changed forever for those diagnosed with this life-threatening condition. Over subsequent decades, the management of diabetes has improved greatly and people with the condition who have access to professional care and education and self-management skills can expect realistically to live a long, healthy life. This reasonable expectation requires health systems to implement evidence-based diabetes care into daily practice. It is clear from this survey that this goal has not yet been realised fully in European healthcare systems. More than 20 years ago, European governments meeting under the aegis of the World Health Organization (WHO) unanimously approved the St Vincent declaration - a series of recommendations to tackle the burgeoning diabetes epidemic. The evidence that the disease had reached epidemic proportions was strong; today it is overwhelming. Diabetes is extending into particularly vulnerable populations of children, migrants and a growing ageing population. Against this background, in 2006, both the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers called for a coherent pan-European strategy to take up urgently the disease as a European public health priority. Regrettably, little positive action has been taken to accomplish this and the strategy remains fragmented throughout Europe. The International Diabetes Federation-European Region (IDF Europe) and the Foundation of European Nurses in Diabetes (FEND), together with Primary Care Diabetes Europe (PCDE) and the European Alliance for Research in Diabetes (EURADIA), have collaborated to produce a whole-of-Europe audit in order to document further the epidemic and the disparate national policies and practices that currently exist. We applaud this important work. The basis for action to tackle diabetes effectively lies in an objective and factual assessment of the situation. This audit provides just that. Europe, through the scientific research community, has an increasing knowledge and understanding of some of the causes of diabetes. However, continued investment in basic, clinical and environmental research must be continued and sustained. We are also learning to share information on what constitutes best practice in the prevention and treatment of this disease. Regrettably, this audit reveals the ongoing gap between evidence-based practice and the healthcare that our citizens receive in most European countries. 4 The 2013 IDF Diabetes Atlas 6th edition estimates that in Europe there are 56.3 million adults living with diabetes and this is projected to reach nearly 70 million by 2035 – more than 10% of the total population of the wider European region. Significant efforts have been made to raise awareness of diabetes, both at the international level, with the UN Resolution on diabetes of 2006, the UN high-level meeting in 2011 and follow-up in July 2014, and at the European level, with the European Parliament Resolution in 2012 and the EU Summit of NCDs in 2014. The political declaration by the UN General Assembly, resulting from the 2011 high-level meeting, can be found in the UN summit report. Yet while commitment exists, it has not been fully translated into action, begging the question: what further actions can be taken to curb the escalating burden of diabetes? As parliamentarians, together with the IDF President, Sir Michael Hirst, we have regular contact with European and national parliamentarians and with many of our constituents who live with the worry and risks of diabetes. Concerted political action is required urgently across all European states and with national diabetes associations and relevant European NGOs. A coherent strategy on diabetes public awareness, research, prevention and treatment, and long-term monitoring is a sine qua non. Unified European action led by the EU, the Council of Europe and WHO is vital if the wellbeing of our citizens and the economies of European nations are to be protected. In September 2011, Heads of State and Government and representatives of State and Government attended a UN High-Level Meeting in New York on non-communicable diseases. The resulting Political Declaration of the UN General Assembly can be found in the UN summit report. Action now can improve lives and make evidence-based practice a reality across the whole of Europe. Sir Michael Hirst Marisa Matias President of the International Member of Diabetes Federation the European Parliament Adrian Sanders, MP (UK) Head of Parliamentarians for Diabetes Christel Schaldemose Global Network (PDGN) and European Policy Member of Action Network on Diabetes (ExPAND) the European Parliament 5 PREFACE DIABETES IN EUROPE This audit once again covers the entire European region. It is produced by the same four non-governmental diabetes organisations responsible for the 3rd edition: IDF Europe, FEND, PCDE and EURADIA. We share a conviction that providing sustained and comparative documentary evidence on the epidemic levels and disparities in diabetes care services across the European region will help to persuade governments and healthcare providers that action to deal with this condition is imperative. This update of the 2011 report on national policies and practices relating to the prevention, screening and management of diabetes is published amidst an alarming increase in diabetes incidence, not only in Europe, but throughout the world. According to IDF, diabetes affects around 382 million people worldwide. In Europe, prevalence estimates now stand at 8.5% of the population aged between 20 and 79 years – meaning that 56.3 million people are living with diabetes in the whole of Europe. This is forecast to rise to 68.9 million by 2035. Despite this background, our audit reveals striking differences in the relative priorities that the countries surveyed place on research, prevention, treatment, management and self-management of this often-preventable chronic disease. This audit represents a vital contribution to our common fight against diabetes by compiling data and national practices in a way that helps to promote best practice and facilitates the task of national and European policy makers to make diabetes a national, European and global priority. The excellent state of knowledge and consensus on risk factors, prevention and treatment of diabetes argue for an intense campaign and coherent strategy to combat diabetes and its complications. In addressing the complications of diabetes, we

  • Health Care System in Belarus: Path of Least Resistance
    MODERN ECONOMIC STUDIES, VOLUME 1, ISSUE 1, 2018, pp. 18-27 HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN BELARUS: PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE MARIIA CHEBANOVA Kyiv School of Economics KATERYNA CHERNOKNYZHNA Kyiv School of Economics VALENTYNA SINICHENKO1 Kyiv School of Economics ABSTRACT As in other post-Soviet countries, in 1991 the Republic of Belarus started off with a highly centralized Semashko system in healthcare. Over the years of independence, the healthcare system of Belarus has been characterized by great physical and financial access but vast inefficiencies. Using the Harvard flagship approach, we show that there have been no systematic changes in terms of five control knobs of the healthcare system. The relatively minor improvements have concerned anti- alcohol campaigns, improvement of access to healthcare in rural areas, and a shift of primary care to capitation-based financing. As a result, no major improvements of health status have been attained. Key words: healthcare reform, Belarus, Semashko system JEL classifications: H51, I15, P46 1. Overview of the health care system in Belarus 1.1. Principal geographic characteristics and a historical overview According to the Constitution, “the Republic of Belarus is a unitary, democratic, social state based on the rule of law”. The country is situated in Eastern Europe and has a population of approximately 9.5 million people, with less than a quarter living in rural areas. According to the World Bank, Belarus is an upper middle-income country. After the proclamation of independence in 1991, Belarus chose a path of gradual reforms, thereby avoiding a complicated process of economic restructuring; this managed to provide almost a decade of strong economic growth (up to 9% annually) until 2009, when a period of serious turmoil came instead.

  • The Historical Evolution of the Ukrainian Problem
    The Historical Evolution of The Ukrainian Problem By Prof. MICHAELO HRUSHEVSKY Translated with the kind permission of the Editor of LA REVUE POLITIQUE INTERNATIONALE By GEORGE RAFFALOVICH English Edition Published for S.V.U. LONDON 19Ч Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2019 with funding from John and Mary A. Yaremko Foundation https://archive.org/details/historicalevolutOOhrus PREFACE BY THE TRANSLATOR Professor Michaelo Hrushevsky, the author of this highly- interesting and most pathetic sketch of Ukrainian history, which appeared in the November-December number of La Revue Politique Internationale, is well known on the Continent as not only the most a uthoritati ve historian of his country and nation, but also as one of those obstinate seekers after historical truths in all the fields that pertain to the Slav Races and the various European nations with which they came into contact. He was in fact, of the Ukrainian Leaders, the one who found it easier to secure adherents in all the many camps into which the Ukrainian nation is unfor¬ tunately divided. At the beginning of the war, Professor Hrushev¬ sky was in Lemberg, then went to Vienna and to several neutral countries before he returned to Kiev. He was shortly afterwards arrested and exiled to a little town on the Siberian frontier. This, however, need not be taken as an indication of the future policy of the Russian Government towards the Ukrainians. It is more likely to be a temporary measure taken by the Police Authorities in order to impress certain extremist elements among the Ukrain¬ ian Leaders of Russia.
