Labor to start health attack in Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s electorateSkip to navigation

Labor is launching its pre-election attack on the Coalition’s health record in Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s electorate, where a health clinic for homeless people is set to close.

Deputy Opposition Leader Tanya Plibersek will use a press conference at the Haymarket Foundation Clinic in Darlinghurst to highlight what Labor says is the Abbott government’s $60 billion cuts to health over the next decade in 2014, and the Turnbull government’s planned cuts to bulk-billing incentives for pathology and diagnostic imaging services.

Health Minister Sussan Ley has defended the government’s move to save $650 million over four years by cutting the incentives, saying they had not worked to significantly boost the rate of bulk-billing.

“We know if they don’t…and can’t find a bulk-billing doctor they’re going to end up in the emergency departments.”

Parties are in campaign mode following Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s announcement that he would call a double dissolution election on July 2 if the Senate did not pass the government’s key industrial bills during a special parliamentary session in April.

Ms Plibersek said: “If Malcolm Turnbull can’t stand up for important health services in his own backyard, he can’t be trusted with Medicare.”

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has listed “protecting Medicare” as the first of five issues central to Labor’s campaign, followed by “decent jobs, better schools, renewable energy and fairer tax.”

It comes ahead of a meeting of federal, state and territory leaders next Friday on health funding and other issues.

“Events that get kids and families interested in STEM learning are critical to the STEM Action Center and to Idaho’s long-term economic success.

$4 Million Grant from the American Heart Association to Support Research & Training at the Newly Created Sarah Ross Soter Center for Women’s Cardiovascular Research

Newswise Building on its national reputation in both cardiac research and women’s health, NYU Langone Medical Center has received nearly $4 million in a four-year research grant from the American Heart Association (AHA) and has been selected as a center in the AHA’s new Go Red For Women Research Network.

As one of five centers across the country, NYU Langone’s newly named Sarah Ross Soter Center for Women’s Cardiovascular Research will investigate the causes of heart attack in women and research new techniques to manage stress in women who have suffered a heart attack. Soter selected NYU Langone’s center from the group as the one to bear her name and is funding the grant along with her husband, Bill.

“We are incredibly proud to lead this important initiative,” says Dafna Bar-Sagi, PhD, vice dean for science and chief scientific officer at NYU Langone. “This designation not only enables our cardiac research program to make important strides toward improving cardiovascular health in women, but also recognizes the enormous talent of our clinical researchers who support it.”

According to the AHA, approximately 400,000 women in the United States suffer from heart attacks each year, and 90 percent of women have one or more risk factors for heart disease or stroke. In addition, stress has more detrimental effects in women with heart attack as compared to men.

The new Sarah Ross Soter Center for Women’s Cardiovascular Research under whose auspices the research will be conducted will focus its efforts to determine specific risk differences in women with blocked and open arteries, such as the impact of stress and the involvement of cells that help the blood to clot, called platelets.

“Heart disease is still the number one cause of death among women in the U.S., and many questions remain about the causes of heart attack in women and how to treat them,” says Harmony Reynolds, MD, co-leader of the new research center, and the Saul J. “This grant will help us advance knowledge in three important areas: why women suffer from heart attack, what makes heart attack different in women, and the best techniques to diagnose, manage and treat women with heart attack.”

“Our three-pronged research approach under this grant is designed to be interdependent, which will allow us to answer many questions we could not answer with each study alone,” says research center co-leader Judith Hochman, MD, the Harold Snyder Family Professor of Cardiology, associate director of the Leon H. “Our research will build on NYU Langone’s current investigations in ischemic heart disease, including research targeted to women, and draw from the wealth of diverse research, clinical, and training strengths available throughout the medical center. This is a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary team and we’re excited to be part of these initiatives.”

The NYU Langone team research team also will include principal investigators Jeffrey Berger, MD, associate professor in the departments of Medicine and Surgery, and Tanya Spruill, PhD, assistant professor in the departments of Population Health and Medicine.

The Grant, launched in 2000 by Neotrope(R), helps worthy causes raise visibility to media and public for the charity’s good works.

With this commitment, Neotrope aligns itself with CAMMO’s ongoing mission to provide military-specific music programs to help past and present service members suffering from neurological impairments such as traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

New grant for newborns ‘a boon’ for those who want to start a family

SINGAPORE While he reiterated the Government’s stance that parenthood is a personal choice, Minister for Social and Family Development Tan Chuan-Jin said the new S$3,000 grant for newborns starting on Thursday (March 24) is aimed at creating “as conducive an environment as possible” for couples who want to start families.

In particular, the upfront top-up to the Child Development Account (CDA) announced in the Budget will give a leg-up to 5 per cent of parents who do not save into their children’s accounts at all, possibly because they cannot afford to.

Speaking to reporters during a visit to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital on Friday, where he explained the new CDA First Step Grant to new parents, Mr Tan said: “We have found over the years that some families who are not able to put in any money, or (can put in only) a limited amount of money, are not really maximising the amount of grant or support that the government is able to provide.”

Asked if the CDA First Step grant would help improve birth rates, Mr Tan stressed that it was a personal choice for couples to want to have children.

Making various grants and schemes available for parents does not necessarily mean that couples will want to have children, he added.

“I would say that it’s really about creating as conducive an environment as possible … Contribution caps are fixed at S$6,000 for the first and second child; S$12,000 for the third and fourth child and S$18,000 for the fifth and subsequent children.

With the grant, that means the account balance will show S$9,000 if a parent deposits S$3,000, for example S$3,000 from the First Step grant and S$3,000 from the matched contribution by the Government.
