Arinobu Fukuhara

 was a Japanese businessman and pharmacist, who was the head of Apothecary Shiseidō (which in 1927 would be incorporated as Shiseidō) and . In addition, this businessman's name is known internationally because of the Arinobu Fukuhara House at Hakone, which Frank Lloyd Wright designed in 1918 as a Prairie-style vacation villa for the extended Fukuhara family.
Born in Awa, Chiba-ken, he rose in due course to become Chief Pharmacist of the Imperial Japanese Navy. In retirement, he embarked on a second career which would bring fame and fortune. He was also president of the Aikoko Insurance Company.
Family patriarch.
Arinobu was the father of photographers , and , who would gain fame as . His sons became quintessential "mobo", or "modern boys"—the sobriquet coined to describe the young, sophisticated, up-to-date young men who frequented the fashionable Ginza district in the late 1920s—and they shared a fascination and persistent attraction to photography as an art form. The Fukuharas helped to bring photography into the mainstream of Japanese modernism. The two brothers were founding organizers of the in 1924; and Shinzō was its first president. The organization was a major pre-war influence on Japanese photography and still exists today despite a temporary dissolution during the years of the Pacific War.
Grandson continues this family tradition of fostering the development of Japanese photography. He has been director of the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography since his appointment by Tokyo Governor Shintarō Ishihara in 2000.
Shiseido.
As Shiseido has grown to become an international cosmetics giant, the company has managed to avoid some of the pitfalls and problems which have attended generational transitions in other successful family businesses. For example, Arinobu's grandson, Yoshiharu Fukuhara, joined Shiseido immediately after receiving his B.A. in economics from Keio University, Tokyo, in 1953. He was appointed president and CEO of Shiseido in 1987, then chairman of the board in 1997 and honorary chairman in 2001.
Three Fukuhara leaders in the Shiseido hierarchy were:
Japan Pharmaceutical Association.
Arinobu served as the third president of the , 1907–1909. During his administration, JPA applied for and obtained approval from the Japanese government to become what was known as a "corporate juridical person" (public corporation).
Arinobu Fukuhara House.
The commissioned house was designed and built in 1920, but the site near a hot spring left the building vulnerable to the cataclysmic 1923 Great Kantō earthquake which collapsed it.

Alina Lekgetha

Alina Molebogent Nancy Lekgetha, born Alina Molebogent Nancy Ditheko (27 August 1918 – 2 February 1992) was the Deputy Minister of Health of the Bantustan Bophuthatswana, co-founder of the Bophuthatswana Nursing Council and the main driver in the establishment of the Department of Nursing in the then University of Bophuthatswana (now Mafikeng Campus of the North-West University).
Early life.
Alina Molebogent Nancy Lekgetha was born on 27 August 1918 in Thaba Nchu in the Free State province of South Africa. Her parents raised her as a Methodist. Unlike many members of the Thaba Nchu community, her family did not seek aid from traditional healers in order to honour their Christian faith.
Personal life.
She was married to Samuel Molebatsi Lekgetha (date unknown) and had 4 children with him, namely Mokgadi Anna Lekgetha and Lennox Lekgetha. She died on 2 February 1992 in Mmabatho, Mafikeng having devoted her life in nursing education and governance.
Education.
As a rural woman who used 'western' medicine, she regarded her role as a bridge between western and indigenous medicine. She trained for nursing at Elim Mission Hospital as well as McCord Hospital in Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal.
Career.
She was appointed as a district nurse in Hammanskraal in 1944 where she became the first nurse to provide health services in the rural area. There were very few health services which were targeted at black women in rural areas at the time. Lekgetha started antenatal care services for the women in the rural area of Hammanskraal making this programme the first of its kind. She started a rural immunisation programme, which was initially only provided by doctors, making her the first nurse to roll out such a programme in the country. She placed much attention on preventative health care and health promotion through initiating clinic committees as well as voluntary health support groups. She was also involved in general comprehensive health care provision in Jubilee Hospital in Hammanskraal.
She was the leader of the local branch of the Bantu Nurses Association at McCord Hospital during the 1940s. The South African Nursing Association (SANA) was racially segregated during most of Lekgetha's career. She was elected as a member of the advisory board for the Bantu people on the South African Nursing Association in 1960, making her the first chairman of the board. Soon after in 1964, she was awarded honorary membership of SANA for her devotion to the nursing profession and public. The Bophutatswana government appointed her as the Deputy Minister of Health and Social Services in November 1987. She co-founded the Baphuthutswana Nursing Association as well as the Bophuthatswana Nursing Council which further motivated her to establish the Department of Nursing Sciences at the University of Bophuthatswana.
During her nursing career, her interests included primary health care, comprehensive health care and midwifery.
Political Views.
She was quoted saying, 'You are not a politician, you work in a political milieu'. She did not believe in compromising patient care during times of protests and was against strike action. However, she often advocated for better working conditions for black nurses in South Africa. She also publicly opposed the Nursing Act (Act No. 69 of 1957) which introduced racially segregated nursing registers. However, she also believed that the racially segregated SANA would compel black nurses to establish their own knowledge systems.

University Malaya Medical Centre

University of Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), formerly known as University Hospital, is a government-funded medical institution located in Pantai Dalam, southwest corner of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was established by Statute in September 1962 and is part of University of Malaya.
It serves as the teaching hospital for the Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya and is the largest and oldest teaching hospital in Malaysia. The UMMC is also the second largest hospital in Malaysia.
History.
Shortly after the end of the second World War, a commission was established under the Chairmanship of Sir Alexander Carr-Saunders to enquire into and make recommendations concerning university education in Malaya (Malaysia). The Commission arrived in March 1947, and after an intensive study recommended that the King Edward VII College of Medicine and Raffles College be almagated forthwith to form a University of Malaya. Accordingly, the University of Malaya was established in Singapore on 8 October 1949 as a national institution to serve the higher educational needs of the Federation of Malaya and of Singapore.
In 1957, a Commission of Enquiry was set up by the Governments of the Federation and of Singapore at the request of the University of Malaya to review the constitution, working and finances of the University in the light of the experience and rapid expansion of last seven years and of the prospective expansion in the near future, including the plan for developing the University in Kuala Lumpur, and to make recommendation. Arising from the commission's Report and that of a Joint Constitutional Committee appointed by the two Governments, legislation was passed in November 1958 providing for the continuance of the University of Malaya as a single University, but with two largely autonomous divisions of equal status, one in each territory. This legislation came into effect in January 1958.
In 1960 the Government of the Federation of Malaya indicated that the Kuala Lumpur Division of the University of Malaya should become he national University in the Federation with effect from the beginning of the session 1962/63, and likewise the Singapore Government indicated that the Singapore Division should become the National University of Singapore. Steps to achieve the establishment of these two separate Universities were finalised during the year 1961 and the University of Malaya was established on 1 January 1962.
The University of Malaya is situated on a site of about 750 acres of land in Pantai Valley on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur.
The University Hospital, a brief introduction.
Although the main hospital building was completed by December 1966, commissioning of the hospital and opening of the wards proceeded slowly mainly because of a shortage of nursing staff. The first patients were admitted in March 1967 and before the end of the year several wards had been opened together with the Polyclinic and Accident and Emergency Unit thus making available to the residents of Petaling Jaya and the adjoining area of Petaling Jaya and the adjoining area of Kuala Lumpur a hospital service on a 24-hour basis. By the end of 1969, all 758 beds were available for use. A new ward block of 112 bed was constructed in 1974 and commissioned providing for a total of 870 beds for the University Hospital.
Currently known as University of Malaya Medical Centre, it has 1,617 beds which is distributed by 44 wards throughout the medical centre serving the district of Petaling.
The Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya was the first school that was instituted at UM in 1905 following the Education Commission report that the colonial region in South East Asia needed to address the shortage of medical assistants in the large cities of Singapore and Penang. This was after the first unsuccessful initial attempt to establish a medical school to train assistant surgeons in 1889. Back then; when the country was under the rule of the British Empire, such a view that a European system of medical school is to established in a colony state was not particularly favoured among the European community and therefore there were several obstacles to be overcome before the school could be established. However, despite the odds, in June 1905, under the Straits Legislative Council of Malaya, legislation of the establishment of a medical college in Singapore was passed under the Ordinance No. XV 1905. Following public appeal for funds, the school opened on 3 July 1905 but only started its courses in September the same year. On 28 September 1905, Sir John Anderson officiated the school under the name "The Straits and Federal Malay States Government Medical School". With the division of the university into two autonomous campuses in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore in 1959, and the passing of the legislation in 1961 by both governments of Malaya and Singapore to make UM a national university, University of Malaya became permanently located in Kuala Lumpur as of 1 January 1962. With this came the new teaching and research facility and its own 500-bed hospital. The Singapore Division was renamed the University of Singapore.
The term "Medical Centre" was first used in 1963 to refer to "the whole Medical Centre complex composed of the departments of the Faculty of Medicine, the Teaching Hospital and the ancillary services attached to them". That was the definition used in the Hospital Act XXII of 1965, Statute XXVIII (The University Hospital) of 1967 and Statute XXXVI (The University Hospital) of 1971. It was also used in Statute XV New Series (The University Hospital) of 1977 which was amended by Statute XX (NewSeries) consequent to the 1975 amendments (A295) to the Universities and University Colleges Act (A30) [or "UUCA].
Although the Faculty of Medicine was established by Statute in 1962, planning, design and construction of the entire Medical Centre project only began actively from 1 February 1963 when Dr. T.J. Danaraj assumed duty as the first Professor of Medicine and the Foundation Dean of Medicine. The first batch of Pre-Medical students were admitted in May 1963 and were taught in the Faculty of Science. Teaching of the Pre-Clinical Year began for the first time in May 1964 in the Faculty of Medicine premises. The Faculty was officially opened on 2 August 1965 by YAB Tun Abdul Razak bin Dato Hussien, The Deputy Prime Minister, who also laid the Foundation Stone of the University Hospital on the same day. The University Hospital admitted its first patients in March 1967. His Majesty the Yang Dipertuan Agung, Duli Yang Maha Mulia, Seri Paduka Baginda, Tuanku Ismail Nasarudin, Shah Ibni Alharmahum and Sultan Zainal Abidin opened the University Hospital (which was later officially known as the University of Malaya Medical Centre sometime in the 1990s) on 5 August 1968 when Dr. J.H.E. Griffiths, Professor Danaraj and Lim Chung Tat were officiated as the Vice-Chancellor, The Dean of Medicine and the Registrar respectively. Today, UMMC stands as a statutory body under The Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia. The main objectives of UMMC are health services, learning and research, serving as the primary teaching hospital of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya.

Adventist Medical Center College-Iligan

The Adventist Medical Center College - Iligan, Inc. (also known as AMC College), formerly the Mindanao Sanitarium and Hospital College, is one of the colleges of the Seventh-day Adventist Church located in Iligan City, Philippines. It is a medical school which focuses on healthcare courses like Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Medical Technology, Physical Therapy, Pharmacy, Radiology and Nutrition and Dietetics.
History.
The idea of establishing a college of medical arts was conceived when the administrators of Mindanao Sanitarium and Hospital felt the need for paramedical workers in the hospital. With the shortage of Adventist paramedical workers, particularly in the area of physical therapy, radiology, midwifery and other related fields and with the trends in the tertiary level of education, the MSH Board dreamed to establish a paramedical school in Iligan City. This school would offer courses and training programs in paramedical lines to talented young people of different religious affiliations and regional groups, especially the Seventh-day Adventist youth in Southern Philippines.
Under the Leadership of Joel Y. Dalaguan, Dr. Lorenzo S. Lacson, Jr., and Cholita Suasi, the necessary requirements set by the then Department of Education, Culture and Sports for a college status were accomplished. On February 8, 1994, a temporary permit was granted for the School of Midwifery. A year later, March 10, 1995, the School of Midwifery was granted recognition.
On June 6, 1994, the DECS issued a permit to open first year level of the School of Physical Therapy. Thus, the institution gained the distinction of being the first Seventh-day Adventist College of Medical Arts in the Philippines to offer a course leading to a recognized degree in BS Physical Therapy.
The new college opened on June 13, 1994 in the campus of Mindanao Sanitarium and Hospital with the first batch of 19 midwifery and 88 physical therapy students. The working force was composed of five full-time and six part-time faculty members. The administrators were Joel Y. Dalaguan as president, Dr. Gladden O. Flores as academic dean, Merlyn A. Maquilan as registrar, Dinah W. Almocera and Roselyn A Senas as deans of Physical Therapy and Midwifery, respectively.
The facilities like classrooms, library, laboratories, and offices were in the old elementary school building inside the MSH campus, while a new big building was going to be constructed. The groundbreaking ceremony that was well-attended by the members of the College Board, administrators, faculty, and students was conducted in the old tennis court on October 20, 1994. Thus began a new stage in the series of developments of MSH College of Medical Arts Foundation, Inc.

Canadian International Pharmacy Association

Established in 2002, the Canadian International Pharmacy Association ("CIPA") is a Canadian association of licensed pharmacy businesses offering mail order pharmacy services to Canadian and international patients. CIPA members sell pharmaceuticals and maintenance medications to individuals upon receipt of a valid prescription. In addition to selling Health Canada approved medications from their licensed Canadian pharmacies, CIPA members also have relationships with regulated international pharmacies and inspected fulfillment centres that directly deliver medications to patients. Patients make the choice from where their medications will be delivered, and this is confirmed with them at time of purchase.
In 2012, an international wholesale business owned by CanadaDrugs was involved in an incident in which some substandard drugs were inadvertently obtained in the United States. That same year, CanadaDrugs ceased the operation of its wholesale business, which was directed to healthcare clinics in the U.S. - not individuals. The matter has since been closed. The situation was unrelated to personal importation and therefore outside of CIPA’s purview of retail sales of daily maintenance medications directly to consumers. However, when CanadaDrugs completely stopped selling into the U.S., they no longer met CIPA’s membership criteria, and were therefore removed as a CIPA member.
According to Managed Care, an industry magazine, about a million Americans a year get drugs from licensed Canadian pharmacies that are certified by CIPA. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT), and five other sponsors have introduced legislation that would allow Americans with a U.S. prescription to order a 90-day supply of medicines from a licensed Canadian pharmacy.
CIPA has appeared frequently in the news as an advocate for safe online pharmacy practices and the lower prices of drugs available outside of the United States, though not without significant controversy. CIPA standards and practices have been described as "likely becoming a major part of the health care system in the near future". In 2009, CIPA was invited to present at the United Nations Internet Governance Forum on "Medicines on the Web - Risks and Benefits". Since 2017, CIPA has been an active collaborator with the University of Toronto, Dalla Lana School of Public Health and Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy ;York University, Dahdaleh Institute of Global Health Research; RightsCon (2017 and 2018) and the United Nations Internet Governance Forums (2019 and 2020) toward establishing international, multi-stakeholder developed Principles, Standards, and Norms for the sale of medicines over the Internet. In his paper Digital Governance of Public Health: Toward a Regulatory Framework for Internet Pharmacies, Dr. Aria Ilyad Ahmad’s argues that “Voluntary self-regulation approaches also play an important role for mediating trust between consumers and Internet Pharmacies.

Ernest Beaglehole

Ernest Beaglehole (25 August 1906 – 23 October 1965) was a New Zealand psychologist and ethnologist best known for his work in establishing an anthropological baseline for numerous Pacific Island cultures.
Early life and education.
Beaglehole was born to David Ernest Beaglehole and his wife Jane Butler in Wellington as the youngest of four children. He attended Mount Cook School until he left for Wellington College. He continued to Victoria University College, where his abilities first began to receive some notice. There he completed his master's degree in 1928. He studied in London for his PhD work on acquisitiveness and the psychological basis of property. While in London, Beaglehole met Pearl Malsin, an American student from Wisconsin. After completing his PhD, he received the Commonwealth Fund Fellowship.
This supported his traveling to Yale University in Connecticut to conduct post-doctoral research. Pearl later joined him in New Haven, and they were married on 24 May 1933. At Yale, Beaglehole met Peter Buck, a professor who "arranged for the Beagleholes to go to Pukapuka, a remote northern Cook Islands atoll, as part of his comprehensive Pacific island ethnographic survey".
Research and achievements.
From his studies of Pacific Island cultures, Beaglehole wrote many books. Following his research in Pukapuka, he published "Ethnology of Pukapuka" (1938). He and his wife continued this research, and a year later he published "Some Modern Hawaiians" (1939). Beaglehole returned to Victoria University College as a senior lecturer, where his brother John Cawte Beaglehole was a noted researcher in his own right. Ernest Beaglehole was awarded a Doctorate in Letters in 1940, and in 1948 he was appointed chair of psychology and philosophy.
His next book was "Some Modern Maoris." He completed his scholarship in the field with his work "Social Change in the South Pacific" (1957). Throughout his works he placed a great deal of emphasis on the facts of native cultures and the fading of these cultures over time.
During the 1950s, Beaglehole was frequently consulted for his expertise. Most notably, he was one of the primary authors of UNESCO's "The Race Question", an international statement by sociologists about the unscientific and immoral nature of racism and race theories. He was later called upon by the ILO in various capacities, initially as a field adviser and leader, and later as chairman of the ILO Committee of Experts on Indigenous Labor.
Personal life.
Beaglehole died at the age of 59 in Wellington, New Zealand, on 23 October 1965. He was survived by his wife Pearl and their four children. Two followed their parents into academia: their daughter Jane Beaglehole Ritchie became a full professor at the University of Waikato as an expert in child-raising. Their son David Beaglehole was a professor of physical electronics and Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand.

Medico International

Medico International is a human rights organization based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Its declared aim is to achieve the human right to health globally. The organization is committed to the global realization of the human right to health. Therefore, the organization supports partner organizations in Africa, Asia and Latin America, who deliver emergency aid in disaster situations and supports long-term projects in the areas of health care, human rights and psychosocial work.
The organization's second focus is critical public relations and campaign work. The causes of need and poverty are criticized and alternatives discussed in regular publications, at public events and in joint campaigns with other organizations and initiatives. In a newsletter and a quarterly newsletter, medico international informs about its work and the situation in the projects.
Structure.
Medico International is a registered association with a voluntary board. The psychologist Thomas Gebauer is the managing director. The office is divided into the three sections: public work, project monitoring and administration. Around 40 people work at the office in Frankfurt, with three additional offices: one in Israel/Palestine, one in Central America and one in Algeria. The most famous employee is the philosopher Thomas Seibert. The process of oversight and regulation of Medico activities are well documented in an annual report.
Founded in 2004, the Medico International Foundation supports activities with earnings and engages in debates, congresses and symposia. Famous members of the board of trustees are the German cabaret artist Georg Schramm as well as the former Hessian minister Rupert von Plottnitz. Former members were the Psychoanalysts Paul Parin and Margarete Mitscherlich-Nielsen.
Early history.
Since its founding in 1968, then still under the name 'action medico', the organization's working methods have changed fundamentally. Originally founded to organize a collection of medicines for Biafra, this was soon followed by the dispatch of personnel and vehicles to disaster areas. The experience with this type of aid led medico to rethink its approach: in order to achieve lasting improvements, the causes of need and poverty should be given greater attention. The approach that medico took in the future focused on supporting local initiatives and political commitment to change the circumstances that lead to the emergence of the emergency situations in the first place, instead of collecting medicines and short-term assignments of foreign experts.
Long term projects came into the centre of Medico's work. In 1970s Medico focused on Primary Health Care and a community centred health support because of the stranding of a big health centre in cooperation with the government of Mali in 1973. A central perspective of this approach is the impossibility to achieve global health care of everyone by centrally monitored projects from governments. Furthermore, everyone concerned needs to take place in this process.
Partnerships.
Currently Medico International works together with 114 partners from 24 countries. Most of them in the Middle East and Central America.
It gives emergency assistance during urgent catastrophes like armed conflicts or environmental crisis. But those are tied to long term cooperation with partners and not short term delegations to achieve long lasting improvements. Central for this work are local organizations, who work with Medico as independent partners. Following its definition of health as comprehensive well-being Medico works together not only with health organizations but with political/cultural groups like Palestinian Freedom Theatre Jenin, and the Gays and Lesbians of Zimbabwe (GALZ), an organization fighting for rights for sexual minorities in Zimbabwe. Further it supports mine cleaning and education organizations in Afghanistan and Colombia.
Public work and campaigns.
Public works for Medico not only means fundraising, furthermore it aims to engage in debates and informs about the situation of the project and the countries they are working in. Constant focuses of attention are the sources of poverty and injustice. Medico informs mainly through its homepage https://www.medico.de/en/, its newsletter and it quarterly German publication ‘rundschreiben’. Further it is present in the public debate through campaigns, lectures and interviews.
Medico launches several campaigns like the campaign against the strategy of the EU to gain access to resources of countries of the global south called ‘Die EU nennt es Rohstoffinitiative...Wir nennen es Rohstoffraub‘ together with attac.
In 1991 Medico and the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation launched an international campaign against land mines. The international successful campaign resulted in the Ottawa Treaty 1997, which banned land mines internationally. The same year the campaign was honoured with the Nobel Peace Price.
In 2012 the network 'Umfairteilen' (a word play with the words fair and redistribute [ger: unverteilen]) is launched. Several unions, initiatives as well as Medico worked together for a tax for the wealthy.
In 2014 Medico together with the presidents of the German unions Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund and the IG Metall and ver.di launched a campaign called ‘untragbar’ (unbearable/unwearabe) in support of textile workers in southeast asia. This was a reaction to the accident at the factory of Ali Enterprises in Pakistan, where 300 people died. Apart from the campaign Medico and the European Center for Constitutional Human Rights supported a lawsuit of four suvivours against the German textile company KiK. In Bangladesh medico supports a fund for the injured of the collapsed fabric Rana Plaza , where 1127 people died and 2438 were injured.


Richard Canney

Richard Bright Canney (July 1852 – 17 June 1887) was an English-born cricketer and doctor who practised in New Zealand and Australia.
Born in Thanet in Kent, Canney arrived in New Zealand in January 1878. While working as a general practitioner in Wakefield, Canney was selected to captain the Nelson cricket team in its annual first-class match against Wellington in April 1878. He won the toss and, batting in the middle order, scored 7 and 15 – above-average scores in a match in which 40 wickets fell for 297 runs – and Nelson won by 85 runs. It was his only first-class cricket match.
He moved to Australia in the early 1880s and practised in Scone and then in Gunnedah, where he was highly regarded for his work among the poorer citizens. He married Ellen Sarah Rigney in Walcha in 1885.
In March 1887, after he had unsuccessfully operated on a 15-year-old girl at Breeza and she died, he was accused of malpractice. However, the jury not only cleared Canney of malpractice, but in fact commended him for his actions, "when he knew there was no likelihood of ever being recompensed for his trouble".
On Thursday 16 June 1887 Canney was thrown from his horse in Conadilly Street, Gunnedah, and suffered a fractured skull. He died of his injuries early the next morning.


Jessie Torrance

Jessie Torrance (15 February 1874 – 12 December 1949) was a New Zealand nurse and deaconess.
Early life.
Torrance was born in Dunedin, the second daughter of Scottish immigrants Eliza Wright and John Ainslie Torrance. Torrance's upbringing was heavily influenced by religion - her father was the chaplain at Dunedin's hospital, jail and asylum, a lay preacher and elder in the Presbytarian Church, and later worked for the Patients' and Prisoners' Aid Society. Torrance trained as a nurse at Dunedin Hospital, passing her state registration examinations at the end of 1908.
Career.
On graduating, Torrance went into private nursing, and after the Plunket Society was established in 1907, she became one of the earliest Plunket nurses. She resigned from her position, however, over a disagreement with Plunket's founder Frederic Truby King. St John Ambulance invited her to join their organisation, and she worked for them for 13 years, including during World War I.
Shortly after the devastating 1918 influenza pandemic, Knox Church in Dunedin hired Torrance as a parish nurse; a bequest in 1915 by a local benefactor provided funds for such an appointment. Torrance held a daily clinic in rooms at the Knox Sunday School in Great King Street, made visits to patients in their homes, dispensed medications and lent nursing equipment as needed. She saw anyone in need in the community, and provided social work services as well as nursing. In addition, she tutored students of the church's Missionary Training Unit and nurses who wanted to become deaconesses.
In the 1920s, Torrance was made an honorary deaconess of Knox Church. She retired from nursing in 1943, having served Knox Church for 25 years. She died in Dunedin on 12 December 1949.

BC Paraplegic Association

Spinal Cord Injury BC (SCI BC) is a not-for-profit organization that helps people with spinal cord injuries and related injuries adjust, adapt and thrive by providing answers, information and community experiences in the Canadian province of British Columbia.
Spinal Cord Injury BC has three core services through which it serves the BC Spinal Cord Injury community, the Peer program, Information Services and SCI Information Database.
Spinal Cord Injury BC works in close partnership with the Vancouver General Hospital, GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre, International Collaboration On Repair Discoveries (ICORD), Rick Hansen Institute, Neil Squire Foundation, BC Wheelchair Sports (BCWCS) and The Disability Foundation.
History.
Spinal Cord Injury BC ( formerly the BC Paraplegic Association) is a branch of the Canadian Paraplegic Association(CPA). The CPA was founded in 1945 by veterans who sustained spinal cord injuries in WW II; its mandate was to minimize social barriers faced by persons with disabilities so that they could benefit from an improved quality of life.
The Canadian Paraplegic Association, BC Division (now known as Spinal Cord Injury BC) was formed in 1957, led by executive director Doug Mowat, who held this position until his death in 1992.
The first unit of the Western Society for Physical Rehabilitation opened in 1947 and was renamed the GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre in 1957.
In 1959, the association's first employee was hired as a rehabilitation consultant. That same year, the BC Paraplegic Association celebrated its first job placement.
During the 1960s, scholarships were made available to assist individuals with physical disabilities in reaching their post-secondary education goals. The BC Paraplegic Association also helped contributed to worldwide disability education and development in 1969 with its donation of equipment to people with disabilities in developing countries.
Strong promotion by the BC Paraplegic Association to revise the BC Building Code and eliminate stairs as the only means of access to public buildings proved successful in 1973, when the City of Vancouver introduced its new accessibility by-laws. These standards were expanded throughout the province under the BC Building Code in 1979.
The BC Paraplegic Foundation was established in 1975 to support the BC Paraplegic Association and individuals with spinal cord injuries and other mobility-related impairments.
The BC Paraplegic Association also extensively consulted in the planning of Vancouver's Expo '86 which was lauded as a showcase for accessibility and high-tech innovations for people with disabilities.
In the 1990s, the association worked with BC Transit and were instrumental in the development of the accessible bus program in the Lower Mainland – the first of its kind in Canada.
Staff.
Doug Mowat, the organization's longtime executive director, was also the first wheelchair user ever elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia as an MLA.
The organization's most recent director of marketing and development, Stephanie Cadieux, was elected to the Legislative Assembly as a BC Liberal MLA in the 2009 provincial election, becoming the second wheelchair user ever elected to the legislature.

Army Medical Service (Germany)

The Army Medical Service ( or "Sanitätsdienst des Heeres") is a non-combat specialty branch of the German Army traditionally responsible for providing medical services within the army, and which has a humanitarian function during armed conflicts in accordance with international humanitarian law, and specific rights and responsibilities under the Geneva Conventions, their additional protocols and customary international humanitarian law. It is entitled under international humanitarian law to use the red cross as a protective sign and its personnel are protected persons under international humanitarian law. Since 2002, most of its former responsibilities have been transferred to the Joint Medical Service. The Army Medical Service still exists as a small entity within the German military.
History and organisation.
The Army Medical Service has been a separate branch within the military since the German Empire. The first Army Medical Service was established in Prussia and Germany between 1868 and 1873, and was regulated by the "Kriegssanitätsordnung für das deutsche Heer" from 1878. Following German rearmament in the 1950s, the medical service was reestablished based on the traditional structure, with a medical service for each military branch. This changed in 2002, when the medical services were largely merged to form the Joint Medical Service, although the Army Medical Service still exists as a much smaller organisation.
The Army Medical Service employs military physicians, nurses, combat medics and other groups, and is traditionally responsible for providing medical humanitarian relief in armed conflicts, including caring for sick or wounded soldiers on the battlefield and operating first aid stations and field hospitals near the frontline, as well as organising transports of patients. Other responsibilities include occupational health services, medical disaster relief and international humanitarian missions in non-combat situations.
Members of the Medical Service are often informally and affectionately referred to as "Sanis" in German.
Status under international humanitarian law.
When carrying out their humanitarian function during armed conflicts, medical personnel are protected persons under international humanitarian law, and are entitled under the laws of war to carry out their work without being inhibited; they may not be attacked, harmed, taken as prisoners of war or persecuted in any way; deliberately attacking or hindering medical personnel from performing their humanitarian work is a serious war crime. The same protection extends to buildings and vehicles identified as part of the medical service. The Army Medical Service uses the red cross as a protective sign recognised under the laws of war; the sign is used on buildings and vehicles and may be worn on armbands as needed. Personnel are issued identity cards identifying them as protected persons under the Geneva Conventions. Although personnel of the Army Medical Service are members of the armed forces and hold military ranks, they are considered non-combatants under international humanitarian law and thus enjoy protection and neutrality because of their humanitarian duties. The status of medical personnel as protected persons goes back to the 1864 Geneva Convention and was repeated in the subsequent Geneva Conventions of 1906 and 1929. It is currently set forth in the First, Second and Fourth Geneva Conventions of 1949, their additional protocols and is recognised under customary international humanitarian law, specifically by rules 25 and 26.
Personnel of the Medical Service using the protective sign are prohibited under the laws of war from taking part in combat action, and facilities or vehicles identified in that way may not be used for military operations. Medical units and personnel also lose their protection under international humanitarian law if they commit acts harmful to the enemy "outside their humanitarian function", as set forth e.g. by the First Geneva Convention, Additional Protocols I and II, as well as by rule 25 of customary international humanitarian law. However, medical personnel may be armed, usually with service pistols, for the purpose of self defense or the defense of patients, and their facilities (such as hospitals) may be guarded for the same defensive purpose.
Ranks.
The lowest rank of the Army Medical Service is "Sanitätssoldat" (OR-1), i.e. private (literally "medical service soldier"). The other non-commissioned ranks are the same as the ones used by the Army.
Commissioned officers use ranks that are specific to the Medical Service, starting from the rank of "Stabsarzt" (OF-2), i.e. captain. The historical ranks "Unterarzt", "Assistenzarzt" and "Oberarzt" are no longer used as military ranks; "Assistenzarzt" and "Oberarzt" are however commonly used as job titles at hospitals, including military hospitals.
The current and historical officer ranks specific to the Medical Service are:

Emergency Medical Care

All ground ambulance, medical communications, air ambulance service in Nova Scotia, Canada, is contracted by EHS to Emergency Medical Care Inc. (EMC), a subsidiary of Medavie Health Services.
History.
Emergency Medical Care Inc. (EMC) has been a service provider since the inception of the province-wide system in 1998, which involved the amalgamation of 59 separate service providers across Nova Scotia to create a province-wide and integrated system.
Activities.
The Extended Care Program: The main goal of an ECP is to respond to non-emergency calls in nursing homes where they will assess and potentially treat patients on site. This will reduce the need for some patients to go to hospital via ambulance and wait in the emergency department for several hours, thus creating a more personal approach to health care by allowing patients and their families to remain in a comfortable environment for as long as possible.
The Clinical Support Desk: Historically, a high volume of calls to EHS are non-emergency and as such, automatically dispatching an ambulance may not best address patient needs nor is it the best use of resources. However, the current system is not set up to provide alternate levels of care or transport. A first of its kind in Canada, a Clinical Support Desk (CSD) will handle these low-acuity calls. Paramedics and nurses, with active clinical experience, are recruited, trained and in place at the CSD to make clinical decisions in offering alternative pathways to non-emergency care, conducting follow up calls to high-risk patients not transported and providing clinical support to field staff. The role of the CSD will always be developing and supported by the EHS Provincial Medical Director.

American Base Hospital No. 5

Base Hospital No. 5 was organized by Harvard University and was one of six American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) Base Hospitals loaned to the British Expeditionary Forces (BEF) during the First World War. The personnel started in Camiers at General Hospital No. 11 in June 1917 and then moved to General Hospital No. 13, at Boulogne-sur-Mer to finish out the war.
In The United States.
Many Americans began preparing for the entry into the First World War prior to the country's formal engagement in hostilities, notably in the formation of hospitals under the auspices of the Red Cross. Col. J.R. Kean visited Boston in February 1916 and proposed that three hospitals be organized around the three major hospitals of the city: Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston City Hospital, and Brigham Hospital (now Brigham and Women's Hospital) connected to Harvard University. The university had begun making its own plans, and a compromise was reached where the medical school as a whole would form a unity, not just the Brigham alone.
Col. Jacob Peabody of the local Red Cross chapter began a campaign to raise the $25,000 ($ in ) worth of equipment required for a 500-bed hospital. A large part of the supply requirements were met through the New England Surgical Dressings Committee. The Committee organized dressings which were then sterilized and packed into sealed tins to be distributed in France through the American Clearing House. While the funds were raised and supplies and equipment purchased, they were not shipped with the hospital when it went overseas, believing materials would be in abundance there, instead, these supplies would be sent to help care for the victims of the Halifax Explosion.
While many were eager, it was difficult to secure all the personnel for the hospital before war was declared. Once the United States’ position was clear many hurried to join, because medical service would be the quickest way to France.
Base Hospital No.5 was organized in February 1916 and mobilized in May 1917, stopping at Fort Totten, before boarding the RMS Saxonia for Falmouth, England. It was the second hospital unit to leave for Europe after the first, No. 4. The hospital personnel were some of the only passengers on the ship, which was carrying munitions. At this time, there was no convoy in place, and while they did not encounter any enemy submarines they sailed through wreckage and remained on high alert until their arrival in England. After a brief stay in England, the unit made their way to France.
In Camiers.
Base Hospital No. 5 took over the operations of the BEF General Hospital No. 11, situated between Dannes and Camiers in Pas de Calais. The previous hospital staff had dealt with the poorly drained site through the intense influx of wounded from the Battle of the Somme, treating 8000 severely wounded and were now completely exhausted. The Harvard team undertook to clean up the site and fix the drainage, but it was not possible to correct the problem completely. In addition to drainage, there was a significant rat population, which was dealt with by obtaining some ferrets. Beyond the physical state of the site, the American forces found themselves underequipped and understaffed for a hospital of this size. Though they requested more additional support from the War Department, it took six months to be filled and only a fraction of the personnel were granted due to other needs elsewhere. As a result, they retained approximately 225 British personnel to adequately care for the wounded.
The drainage and vermin were not the only hazards of the site, located next to cement works and not far from a munitions dump, the area was under regular threat from German bombers. On 4 September 1917, one Gotha bomber dropped seven bombs, five of which were direct hits on the hospital. Lt. William Fitzsimmons, Pte. Rudolph Rubio, Pte. Oscar Tugo, and Pte. Leslie Woods were all killed in the bombing. Lt. Rae Whidden was injured and invalided home, but ultimately died of pneumonia following influenza later in the month. In addition, Lt. Clarence McGuire, Pte. Aubrey McLeod, Nurse Eva Parmelee, Lt. Thaddeus Smith, and twenty-two patients were seriously wounded in the attack. These were the first AEF casualties of the war.
In the six months Base Hospital No. 5 was stationed in Camiers they treated over 15,000 cases and 3000 in June 1917 alone. In October 1917, it was determined that the operation would move to Bolougne-sur-Mer to take over for General Hospital No. 13.
In Bolougne-sur-Mer.
On 1 November 1917, Base Camp Hospital No. 5 took over the BEF hospital that had been operating out of the casino in Boulogne-sur-Mer. In this location, so close to England, they provided temporary care, food, and beds for those waiting to be transported home, as well as their usual duties.
The threat of air raids continued at their new site, and the casino was an especially easy target. On 22 December 1917, bombers hit the medical stores, the base's bakery and other sites, killing 52 people and wounding 172. This constant threat added to the great relief felt by the personnel when leave was granted after nine months of work.
The transition to General Hospital No. 13 also marked changes in staff. Around this time other American units were arriving, and many of the senior medical staff were in high demand for training or for detached units. Maj. Harvey Cushing, Cpt. Elliott Cutler, Cpt. Samuel Harvey and Lt. William Terhune were all transferred to AEF hospitals to help train them as they arrived. Head Nurse Carrie Hall was called up to be the chief nurse for the American Red Cross for Great Britain in May 1918 and was succeeded by Rose Butler at the hospital. A number of other staff were detached to Mobile Hospital No. 6, which was set up in Deuxnouds-aux-Bois for the Meuse-Argonne offensive.
General Hospital No. 13 was considerably smaller than No. 11, but with the arrival of AEF forces, it meant for the first time they were often treating American casualties. First, a large influx of wounded from the 33rd American Division who had been at the Somme. And soon after, when the British began their final assault on the Montdidier area in early August 1918. From them until the end of the war, they saw a heavy succession of casualties from those of the 27th and 30th Infantry Divisions fighting at Kemmelberg and Messines Ridge on the Hindenburg Line with the British, and from the 37th and 91st serving with the French in Belgium. Even after the armistice was declared, sick and wounded continued to arrive from forward hospitals through November and December. Finally, at the beginning of February 1919, the hospital stopped taking patients.
In the twenty months of active service, Base Hospital No. 5 treated over 45,837 patients, both surgical and medical (41,015 were British and 4,822 Americans). The record number of patients treated in one day was 964. Many of these included those suffering from the 1918 flu pandemic. Numbers of fatalities were kept to a minimum through the careful study and experiments of Cpts. A.V. Bock, and G.P. Denny, with the vigilant attention of the nurses in the quarantine wards: Eva Clements, Ruth Conklin, Mary Cummings, Gertrude Gerrard, Margaret Leavitt, Edna Moir, and Eva Parmelee. The highest number of casualties the hospital received in one day was 964.
On 6 April 1919, the enlisted men boarded the SS "Graf Waldersee" and sailed for New York. They remained at Camp Merritt for six days before arriving at Camp Devens to be demobilized between 29 April and 2 May 1919.
"The Vanguard".
The unit organized a variety of entertainments including variety shows and, while in Camiers, a baseball league with the nearby Canadian No. 1 and No. 3, and Chicago Units. In addition, they published their own monthly newspaper, “The Vanguard”. This was the first AEF publication overseas.

Services Hospital

Services Hospital, located on Jail Road, Lahore, in Punjab, Pakistan, is the teaching hospital for the Services Institute of Medical Sciences (SIMS). It is recognized by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council for its undergraduate program as well as by the College of Physicians and Surgeons for its postgraduate training.
History.
Initially established in 1958, Services Hospital started as an outdoor mini hospital for government employees, as a satellite clinic of Mayo Hospital. The hospital had 60 beds to provide basic health facilities. In 1960, it was named Wahdat Hospital, and was subsequently renamed to Services Hospital. The hospital has expanded considerably and has been transformed since then. This started when it was declared a teaching hospital attached to Allama Iqbal Medical College (AIMC) in 1977. In 1995, the hospital became the teaching hospital for Gulab Devi Postgraduate Medical Institute. Later in 1999, it was declared as an autonomous medical institute, with a management board to oversee affairs and give policy guidelines. In 2002, the Services Hospital was declared as the teaching hospital for the then newly formed Services Institute of Medical Sciences.
Today, its 1,196 beds are located in 31 departments, with 27 major and 8 minor operation theaters and an out-patient attendance of 700 patients on average per day. Fiscal constraints have led the hospital's leadership to seek out alternative ways of funding, including philanthropic support. The hospital's aging infrastructure remains severely overstretched, resulting in electrical overload and fire accidents.
Death of Suneel Saleem.
On March 26, 2018, Suneel Saleem died after a fight with Service Hospital guards and doctors over the family's objection to treatment of his sister. The hospital denied any religious bias.
School of Nursing at Services Hospital Lahore.
The School of Nursing is situated next to the hospital and has an educated teaching staff. It takes on students every year for a three-year training program leading to a degree in nursing.
This school is supervised by Pakistan Nursing Council. The PNC (established in 1948) is an autonomous, regulatory body that licenses Nurses, Midwives, Lady Health Visitors (LHVs), and Nursing Auxiliaries to practice in Pakistan.

Academics.
PGIMER was established with manifold objectives. Since Chandigarh was being newly developed as a city and capital of the then unified state of Punjab, a tertiary care hospital was required and thus planned. The other two objectives attached to the project were providing training to the doctors and help them to get trained for becoming future specialists doctors in the region. Thus academics was a very strong focus right from the beginning. The third objective was to establish a very strong research facility in the region. Half a century later, all the goals have been well achieved. It has become one of the major teaching medical institutes of the country with a caveat - it does not provide undergraduate level of training i.e. MBBS and BDS. What it provides is all kind of post graduate degrees in various subjects. These include:
Elective training.
The institute accepts medical students from other countries for elective training in any of its departments. Clearance from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and Medical Council of India, New Delhi is required before the students are accepted. The process takes about 3–4 months.
