Les études qui distinguent les façons d’utiliser le numérique trouvent des liens plus constants que celles qui mesurent le seul temps d’écran (p. 11).

Adonis Georgiadis thanked for the publication by Giorgos Amiriadis regarding the NHS. Amiriadis argued that the system had been strengthened and provided data on staff, expenditures, and waiting times. According to the post, the permanent staff of the NHS increased from 90,300 in 2019 to more than 100,000, while together with seasonal staff, it reached 106,000. Expenditures, he reported, doubled from 4.1 billion euros to 8.2 billion euros. He added that renovations and upgrades of equipment were carried out in 236 hospitals and health centers, as well as interventions for digitization and the development of a telemedicine network. Amiriadis stated that 26,800 afternoon surgeries had been performed, 78% in public hospitals and 22% in private hospitals, and claimed that waiting times for surgery over four months had decreased by 98%. He also noted that the average waiting time in emergency departments had decreased by 68%, to less than four hours. The publication also mentioned free prevention programs and exams in remote areas, home delivery or availability of high-cost medications at local pharmacies, online appointments via the My Health app, and checks on private practices through Medwatch. Amiriadis noted that three new hospitals had been scheduled — the Pediatric Hospital of Thessaloniki and the general hospitals of Komotini and Sparta — as well as a new hematopoietic stem cell transplantation unit at Papageorgiou Hospital. Regarding ambulances, he reported 52 new vehicles and 8 mobile medical units in Attica, 34 new ambulances in Central Greece, and 5 in the Ionian Islands, along with a tender for 255 more by early 2027. He added that nurses were included in the heavy and unhealthy job category. In closing, he raised the question of whether Georgiadis had done more than previous ministers and if he would make additional interventions. #ΕΣΥ #Υγεία #ΔημόσιαΥγεία (translated)

The author asked whether diet and physical activity could lead to remission of type 2 diabetes, citing figures that after 24 weeks, 54% of participants in an intervention group had achieved remission, compared with 4% in a standard-care group.
The author said the world needed to learn from past health crises as climate change and globalisation brought dengue and chikungunya to Europe. They also called for global vigilance against Ebola and argued that medical professionals should prioritise evidence over activism when addressing future threats. #covid #sarscov2 https://t.co/TJNyIiVvYZ #SaludGlobal #CambioClimático #Epidemias #EU #AS
