Health care

Rich countries to stop revaccination - this is what the World Health Organization demanded. Several Western countries have announced that in less than a month they will start giving a third dose of coronavirus vaccines.

A Turkish scientist has invented a capsule of the size of a chickpea, which typically helps in diagnosing diseases in the digestive system when swallowed, enabling an easier endoscopy procedure.

"This is a brand-new technology," Rabia Tuğçe Yazıcıgil, working in a lab affiliated with the Boston University in the U.S., told daily Hürriyet on Aug. 3.

The UK Minister of Health clarified that this change applies to those who have been vaccinated with one of the vaccines that are accepted in the EU, and the USA

These are circumstances in the hospital where nurse Janine Roberts works.
Now it is mostly about young people who have not been vaccinated and who are in a very difficult health condition.
Most of them arrive to the intensive care units already intubated and unconscious, and most often it is an infection with a delta variant of the virus that is spreading rapidly.

"The fourth wave of COVID-19 is already in our country. We have a steady increase in cases. The significant increase will come before autumn."
This was stated by the epidemiologist Petar Markov in tv interview.

"Vaccination is the cheapest and most effective way to prevent infection," he added.

"It is obvious that the fourth wave of coronavirus will be very strong if we do not increase the percentage of vaccination, and that is why the state is preparing measures to stimulate vaccination. The state will present all the details in the coming days", he told Kurir daily.

The turnover of Romanian drug manufacturers, distributors and pharmacies was 66.6 billion lei in 2020, up 2.6 percent from 2019 and over 100 percent higher compared to 2010, shows a survey by KeysFin - one of the most important providers of business information solutions in Romania - based on Finance Ministry figures.

According to him, there are enough vaccines, and citizens can choose. Loncar said that such a request would not make sense if the state did not provide enough vaccines for all citizens, and pointed out that citizens do not think about the costs of treatment because they know that the state pays for it.
