Jaana Parviainen et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the impact of chatbots on healthcare professional ethics, suggesting the need for new approaches in professional ethics as artificial intelligence is deployed on a large scale.

Health trends, inequalities and opportunities in South Africa's provinces, 1990-2019: findings from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 Study

Tom Achoki et al.

Summary: South Africa has faced several major health issues over the past 30 years, including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, chronic illnesses, and injuries. Using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors Study 2019, the study assessed the country's health trends and progress towards sustainable development goals. The findings suggest that while there have been improvements in HIV/AIDS-related conditions, many provinces still lag behind in key areas.

Non-communicable diseases - a catastrophe for South Africa

Ebrahim Samodien et al.

Summary: Non-communicable diseases contribute significantly to the disease burden in South Africa, with socio-environmental factors, physiology, behavior, and genetics playing a role in causing these diseases. About 60% of South Africa's children live in poverty, with adverse socio-environmental factors negatively affecting their development and leading to health problems in adulthood. Early interventions focusing on optimal nutrition, education, and physical activity within a safe environment are crucial for promoting children's well-being and increasing their life prospects.
