Freelance researcher and writer Alexandra Willis joins Crystal Orderson to unpack the rising global C-section rates and what they reveal about the medicalisation of birth. Drawing from Alexandra’s recent Daily Maverick article, the conversation explores how doulas are helping restore agency to birthing women in South Africa’s public health system where consent is often side-lined, and emotional support scarce.

Bongani Bingwa speaks with Gladys Bogoshi, CEO of Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Hospital, amid troubling reports of severe food shortages and a loss of hot water at the once-prestigious facility. Anonymous whistleblowers describe a dire situation: patients taking medication on empty stomachs, relying on family members for food, and entire wards going without basics like protein, vegetables, tea, or sugar. To make matters worse, some doctors have reportedly not been paid for their services, deepening the crisis. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Malawi's medicine shortage has been blamed on drug theft. The Malawian government loses around 30% of the drugs and medical supplies it purchases to theft. According to a survey, 35% of private clinics sell anti-malarial drugs that had been donated for free use.
Bongani Bingwa speaks with Dr. Mzu Theo Nodikida of the South African Medical Association as Gauteng doctors revolt against unpaid overtime. With 16-hour shifts, life-or-death decisions, and mounting pressure, many now face slashed pay despite rising demands.

About Cyrill Gyger: Cyrill Gyger is the co-founder and CEO of QUMEA, a company that offers digital mobility monitoring for patient safety. Cyrill holds an MSc in Engineering from Berner Fachhochschule BFH and worked for Zühlke Group and Xovis before starting QUMEA in 2019. QUMEA uses a one-of-a-kind sensor and companion software to continuously monitor the activity and mobility of every patient inside a hospital or care facility, and is able to automatically call for help, depending on the individual needs of each patient. This prevents falls, makes therapy success measurable, improves patient outcomes and noticeably relieves the burden on care. Their radar is capable of sending signals of extremely different wavelengths in very quick succession, which allows them to measure whether the patient is walking about the room, but also whether the patient is even breathing. The fact that their product is a radar, and not computer vision, enables the assurance of data protection. QUMEA sells mostly to public hospitals in Switzerland, Germany and Sweden. Their usual first point of contact are nurses, who are also the product's users. QUMEA's very clear ROI is what gets them the attention of these institutions, but they still have to bear with rather long sale cycles (due to the nature of public sector constraints, and to the amount of stakeholders within each hospital), and they almost always have to go through a pilot phase with their prospective customers first. Cyrill is a strong believer in aligning co-founder incentives with the success of their company, which is why all 4 co-founders have invested their own money to buy shares from QUMEA. Other employees have also done so. This way, everyone rows in the same direction and gives it their all, because if the company tanks, it's their money that's gone forever, too.

It's estimated the healthcare industry contributes around 7% of Australia's carbon emissions, with hospitals being the biggest carbon emitters in the sector. Hospitals run 24/7 energy-intensive operations for heating, cooling, lighting and to power all that medical equipment. A new campaign led by health care workers and medical groups is calling on the federal government to kick start what will be a marathon to electrify Australia's 700 odd public hospitals. They're proposing the government fund a feasibility study to retrofit and electrify nine of Australia's existing public hospitals. Ursula Alquier is the Healthy Hospitals Campaigner for Health Futures, the not-for-profit social enterprise behind the proposal.

Recently, the Minister of Health Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad proposed expanding “private wings” in government hospitals to raise revenue for the country's underfunded public healthcare system. In this episode of Public Health, we explore the advantages and disadvantages of private wings, with a look at the Full Paying Patient (FPP) scheme that has been in place in selected government hospitals since 2007. Professor Dr Sharifa Ezat Wan Puteh, a Professor in Health Economics, Hospital & Health Management with the Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, joins us for this discussion.Image credit: Shutterstock
There's suggestions private companies should build - and potentially run - our public hospitals. 1News reports Health NZ is urging the Government to consider private sector help, given the investment required for dozens of hospitals. Former Health NZ chair Rob Campbell says he believes this is being raised now as a diversion. "It's previously been held off because the very large projects - like the Dunedin Hospital - frankly, wouldn't attract a partner to do the kind of work that needs to be done."

The news broke last week, sort of. It turned out that last month Alberta Premier Danielle Smith had told a United Conservative Party town hall in August that the government had transferred control of a northern Alberta hospital away from Alberta Health Services and turned it over to Convenant Health, a private, Catholic healthcare provider, and that further hospitals would follow.The story raised many questions—everything from why this was announced in this way, to which services Convenant Health might refuse to perform on faith-based grounds—and so far many of them have yet to be answered. So where do things stand now? Why is the government making this move? And in the bigger picture, what form is the decentralization of Alberta's health care system likely to take?GUEST: Lauryn Heintz, reporter, CityNews Calgary We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

The government could use private sector investment to build public hospitals, a major shake up to how health projects are funded. Te Whatu Ora has set up a new national infrastructure team which is taking the new approach. Its new operating model document says significant investment is needed if the organisation is to deliver more certainty, expertise, efficiency, performance and capability across the health sector. The document says a full range of investment options should be considered, including partnership with the private sector. Phil Pennington spoke to Corin Dann.

A shocking investigation by Daily Maverick has uncovered the distressing treatment of stoma patients in South Africa's public health sector. Due to shortages of colostomy pouches, some patients have been resorting to using plastic bags taped to their abdomens, causing great indignity and pain. The lack of access to specialist care and support exacerbates the challenges faced by ostomates, who often experience stigma and discrimination. Despite previous reports of shortages being resolved, the situation remains dire, leaving patients in anguish and despair. Corruption and mismanagement appear to contribute to the ongoing crisis, leaving ostomates without the proper care and compassion they deserve. We discuss these distressing findings with Mark Heywood, a senior journalist at the Daily Maverick and Editor for Maverick Citizen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Doctors without borders concern over xenophobic protests outside public hospitals in Pretoria by Radio Islam
The former AMA president Dr Michael Jones has addressed the increasing cost of private health insurance and the diminishing number of people paying for it. "Both of these problems could be significantly reduced by the simple tactic of reintroducing means-testing for “free” admission to public hospitals," he says. But Curtin Medical School lecturer and former chair of the Royal Australian College of GPs Dr Colin Hughes told Oly Peterson there are fundamental flaws to the means-testing proposal. "You don't know when you'll need a public hospital," he says. Car accidents, birth complications and premature birth and a few of many circumstances where treatment wouldn't be subsidised in a private hospital. "The cost [of private health insurance] is getting upwards of $8 billion worth of tax payers funds." he says. "Just imagine what that would do if it was paid into the public hospital system for all of those kind of conditions that you do need a public hospital for."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
