ANA Supports The Independence At Home Act
The American Nurses Association (ANA) applauds the efforts of lawmakers to bring primary care services offered through registered nurses to Medicare beneficiaries in their homes by reintroducing the "Independence at Home Act of 2009" (H.R. 2560/S. 1131). ANA supports this legislation because it provides patients with care options that enhance individual independence and can lead to a better quality of life. This legislation also smartly recognizes the integral role nurses and nurse practitioners play in the delivery of primary care and helps bring the focus of our health care system back where it belongs- on the patient and the community.

CNN Profiles 'Generation' Of Teenagers, Young Adults Born With HIV
CNN looks at the lives of teenagers and young adults who were born with HIV before advancements in antiretroviral drugs in the 1990s helped prevent mother-to-child transmission. According to CNN, these children "have defied initial expectations" and "danced at their high school proms, walked on stage to receive their diplomas and even experienced the birth of their children." The article profiles a group of HIV-positive teenagers and young adults in Miami called the Kool Kids. The group was established in 1995 to help children living with HIV cope with the "usual complications of adolescence" and also the "broken families, medical complications and fights for acceptance" that exist as a result of their HIV (Park, CNN, 6/22).

Nigeria Releases 57M Polio Vaccines, Aims To Increase Vaccine Coverage The Nigerian government recently released 57 million doses of the trivalent oral polio vaccine for a nationwide campaign that concluded on Sunday, Nigeria"s Guardian newspaper reports. Additional campaigns are scheduled for July, August and October (Muanya, Guardian, 5/28).

Jakarta Post Examines Indonesia"s Provision of Health Care Although a recent World Bank report highlights Indonesia"s "struggles to maintain and improve important health outcomes for the poor and achieve the Millennium Development Goals," the report also finds "Indonesia"s growing economy, political stability and decentralization prospects now allow it to think expansively about healthcare," the Jakarta Post reports. The article examines the Indonesian government"s "highly ambitious" plan to offer free medication to all citizens through the expansion of community health insurance and three World Bank-suggested approaches that would help the Indonesian government reach their goal by 2013 (Jakarta Post, 5/29). Report Estimates Potential Impact of Circumcision Effort in Botswana on HIV/AIDS Botswana"s campaign to circumcise nearly half a million men by 2012 will prevent almost 70,000 new HIV cases by 2025, according to a report published Thursday in the Journal of the International AIDS Society, AFP/Yahoo! News reports. The government"s national campaign aims to circumcise 460,000 boys over the age of five, and the country has begun airing television and radio advertisements to encourage men to be circumcised at local clinics. "Scaling up safe male circumcision has the potential to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS in Botswana significantly," according to the study. The report puts the estimated cost of the circumcision campaign at about $47 million (AFP/Yahoo! News, 5/28).
