    Singapore: More Observations

    I mentioned yesterday my short visit to Singapore. I thought I’d add some additional observations.

    Singapore spends only 4% of its gross domestic product on health care (Singaporean Health Minister’s estimate). Just a reminder, in the United States we spend 16% of ours — nearly four times as much. What are we getting for that? The life expectancy of a male in Singapore is 79.29 and 84.68 years for a female. Again, just a reminder, in the United States the life expectancy of a male is 75.29 years; a female can expect to live to 81.13 years. Hmmm.

    Love, Protect, Immunize

    Shots aren't fun, but immunization is one of the most effective ways parents can protect their infants and children from potentially serious diseases. Today, we can protect children younger than 2 years old from 14 serious diseases, including polio, measles and influenza. Find out if your child is due for a vaccination. If he or she needs shots, call their healthcare provider or your local health department to make an immunization appointment.

    Viet Nam - Blog I

    An Overview

    The final three days of my trip to Southeast Asia were spent in Viet Nam. This was a follow up trip to my October 2005 visit. I focused on three issue areas: HIV/AIDS, Avian Influenza and the safety of imports. Meeting the new health minister was a priority as well.

    As a general overview, I arrived in Hanoi on Tuesday night, the 15th of April. I spent Wednesday the 16th of April there working. On Thursday, I flew to Ho Chi Min City, where I spent the day working, and then on Friday, I was able to go out into the countryside, which always turns out to be a highlight.
