 The theory of Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson of "baking the pie bigger to univarsalize " doesn't apply to the healthcare. The size of the "pie" (e.g., national healthcare budget, number of doctors, supply of medicines) matters less than how it is sliced and served. This is the paradox of abundance: even when the total capacity of a healthcare system grows, disputes, inefficiencies, and disparities in distribution can persist or even worsen. Without fair and efficient distribution mechanisms, resources pool in centers of power or privilege, leaving underserved areas in perpetual scarcity. Expansion without transparency leads to resource mismanagement. Equipments lie unused, doctors remain unposted, and medicines expire in storage—while patients wait or die due to ‘shortages.’ Often, allocation of medical resources is influenced not by epidemiological needs but by political or institutional clout. Urban hospitals may receive a major share of high-end machines or f...

 I found this really interesting, so sharing with all of you! *Exclusion to Inclusion - Know the cultural difference* *Exclusion Culture:* They bring nine chairs for ten children, and they tell the children that the winner is the one who gets the chair, and whoever remains without a chair is out of the game. Then they reduce the number of chairs each time and a child comes out every time until one child remains and he/she is declared the winner. The child learns the culture of  “myself, myself, and in order to succeed, I must remove others.” *Inclusion Culture:* And in Japanese kindergartens, they play the game of chairs too. And they also come with nine chairs for ten kids, with a difference ! There, they tell the children that you have no more chairs. If one of you remains without a chair, everyone loses. All the children try to hug each other so that all ten children can sit on nine chairs. And then they reduce the number of chairs successively with the rule remaining that ...

 For many years, the gut was viewed solely as a digestive organ, responsible for processing food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. However, research has since revealed that the gut plays a far more complex role, influencing nearly every system in our bodies. The gut microbiome is a vast ecosystem of microorganisms primarily housed in the large intestine or colon. Approximately thirty-nine trillion microorganisms reside in our gut, nearly ten times the number of human cells in the body. This microbiome can communicate with our brain and immune system, influence gene expression, control hunger and satiety, and regulate hormones. This is why maintaining optimal gut function is so important. What Is Gut Health? Gut health refers to the efficient functioning of our digestive tract, the diversity of our microbiome, and the absence of digestive disorders or illnesses. Poor gut health can manifest through symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, gas, bloating,...

Menopause, when it occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, is considered “natural” and is a normal part of aging. On an average, menopause happens at the age of 52.  Menopause that occurs before the age of 45 is called "early menopause " . Menopause that occurs at 40 or younger is considered" premature menopause ". If it doesn’t happen because of any type of medical treatment or surgery, the process is gradual and happens in three stages: Perimenopause or “menopause transition:” Perimenopause can begin eight to 10 years before menopause when the ovaries gradually produce less and less estrogen. Many ladies begin feeling symptoms like irregular periods, hot flashes and mood swings in perimenopause. Menopause: Menopause is the point when menstrual periods stop completely ...
