Development assistance for health and the Middle East and North Africa
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2019Introduction Donor countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and United Arab Emirates have been among the most generous donors in the world, providing a large amount of aid relative to their national income. However, little is known about how much these country donors are contributing for health. In this study, I worked with my study team and aimed to address the gap by estimating the amount of development assistance for health (DAH) contributed by MENA country donors from 2000 to 2017, disaggregating by health focus area and recipient. Methods We tracked DAH provided and received by the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region from 2000-2017, leveraging publicly available development assistance data in the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) database of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), project-level and aggregate-level government agency budgets, reports, as well as financial statements from key international development agencies. We generated estimates of DAH provided by the three largest donor countries in the MENA region (United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia) and compared contributions to their relative gross domestic product and government spending; We also captured DAH contribution contributed by other MENA country governments (including but not limited to Egypt, Iran, Oman, Qatar, Turkey) disbursed through multilateral agencies. Additionally, we compared DAH contributed from the MENA region and provided to the MENA region. Results In 2017, DAH contributed by the MENA region reached 220.1 million, 43.2% of DAH from MENA), Saudi Arabia (59.8 million, 11.6%) as sources contributed the majority of DAH in 2017, 58.5% of total DAH from MENA was disbursed through their respective bilateral agencies, 12.0% through the World Health Organization (WHO) and 3.3% through other United Nations agencies. 44.8% of DAH contributions from MENA was directed to health system strengthening and sector-wide approaches. Relative to their respective gross domestic product and government spending, the DAH level fluctuated across 2000 to 2017 but United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia indicated increasing trends. Conclusion MENA country donors especially United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have been providing substantial amount of DAH, channeled through their bilateral agencies, WHO and other multilateral agencies, and with a prioritized focus on health system strengthening. DAH from MENA region has an increasing trend for the past 18 years, and could lend itself to important contributions for the region and the globe
Musa Dah i bliżej. Zaczynając od powieści Franza Werfla.
No full textThe subject of the first part of the article is an interpretation of Franz Werfel’s novel Forty days of Musa Dah, published in 1933 and containing in its the name of the place where five thousand Armenians made a stand against the Turks in September and October 1915. The book made the author a national hero of the Armenians. However, this Jewish writer simultaneously sensed the approaching Shoah. Hence, in the second part of the paper, I show how the novel grew in importance during World War II: Musa Dah was compared to the resistance in the Jewish ghettos (e.g. the situation of the population in Bialystok). Janusz Korczak was to discuss the novel in the summer of 1941, also the chronicler of the Warsaw Ghetto, Emmanuel Ringelblum, in June 25, 1942 compared the Warsaw Ghetto to Musa Dah.The subject of the first part of the article is an interpretation of Franz Werfel’s novel Forty days of Musa Dah, published in 1933 and containing in its the name of the place where five thousand Armenians made a stand against the Turks in September and October 1915.

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH): a rare presentation of metastatic angiosarcoma
No full textAbstract Background Angiosarcoma is an uncommon and highly aggressive malignant tumor. Angiosarcoma presenting as diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is rare. Case presentation A young female who presented with history of dyspnea was found to have features of DAH on radiological evaluation. Angiosarcoma was confirmed from the histopathological examination of the underlying lung nodule. Management with the palliative chemotherapy showed clinical improvement, and resolution of changes of DAH on imaging. Conclusion Angiosarcomas are not usually listed in the causes of DAH. It must be considered in the differentials of DAH after ruling out the common causes
