KATHMANDU, Feb 9 2007 (IPS) – Hiring a private firm to manage the drinking water system in Nepal s capital violates the right to health guarantee in the country s interim constitution, activists are set to argue before the Supreme Court.
Four groups are opposing a plan to break up the Nepal Water Supply Corporation (NWSC) in the Kathmandu Valley and disperse its work and assets among three new agencies, one of which will hire the British firm Severn Trent to manage water delivery in the Valley s five municipalities for six years.
The scheme, which has been approved by Nepal s new legislature, is a condition tied to building the huge Melamchi project that will divert river water to the capital. It is led by the Asian Development Bank (AsDB).

BRUSSELS, Mar 20 2007 (IPS) – The leading pharmaceuticals firm Novartis is seeking to prevent the EU s political bodies from supporting an Indian law allowing access to cheap medicines in developing countries.
The Swiss firm has contacted all 785 members of the European Parliament over the past few weeks, urging them not to sign a written declaration opposing the Novartis stance on India s 2005 patents law. Novartis is taking legal action against the law, which provides for patents on medicines to be refused on public health grounds.
The firm s lobbying efforts appear to have paid dividends. Although left-wing and Green MEPs have strenuously criticised the company, the written declaration has had far less backing from deputies in the Parliament s largest …

BUENOS AIRES, Apr 20 2007 (IPS) – I feel happy when I m with my friends; at those times, I don t even remember that I have the infection, Keren, an 11-year-old Honduran girl living with HIV, told IPS.
Her story brought home the ignored and largely invisible impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on girls in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Keren was in Buenos Aires along with Victoria, a 13-year-old Uruguayan who is also living with the AIDS virus, for the Fourth Latin American and Caribbean Forum on HIV/AIDS and STDs (sexually transmitted diseases), which ended Friday with a call for joint action to achieve universal access to anti-AIDS drugs.
Victoria and Keren their last names were not divulged were the central figures at the presentation of Ynisiq…

CARACAS, May 31 2007 (IPS) – The 150 million smokers in Latin America and the Caribbean are finding it more and more difficult to smoke in public spaces, as a growing list of countries adopt measures aimed at protecting non-smokers from second-hand smoke.
But activists say bans on smoking must be accompanied by consciousness-raising and efforts at persuasion. This is the tendency that civil society has supported the most the route of information, education and awareness-raising, Eva Martínez of Venezuela s Anti-Cancer Society told IPS.
On Thursday, World No Tobacco Day, the Society distributed a poster that shows an ashtray with an office inside it, to support the international smoke-free workplace campaign.
The World Trade Organisation (WTO…

BUENOS AIRES, Jun 26 2007 (IPS) – It just crushes you: children here, aged eight or nine, are sniffing glue to dull their hunger, says a rural medical doctor in Corrientes, 1,000 kilometres north of the capital and the province with the highest childhood poverty indicators in Argentina.
Many children and adolescents place contact adhesives in plastic bags and put them to their faces to breathe the solvent vapours released by the adhesive. Glue is the cheapest drug on the market and is not even illegal, as it is a common item that can be purchased in many shops.
National averages show that poverty in Argentina has been declining since 2003, when a record 54 percent of the country s 37 million people were below the poverty line after the economic and pol…

KARACHI, Jul 31 2007 (IPS) – When it comes to climate change population matters, particularly for countries in South Asia, Africa and some Arab countries, says Prof. Khalid Rashid. A mathematician and physicist in Pakistan, he has long been studying the phenomenon of global warming and views the uncontrolled population explosion with much trepidation.
But there are climate scientists like Dr Shaheen Rafi Khan, a researcher with an Islamabad-based policy-oriented research institute, the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI), who insist it is how we live and use resources that matters not the number of people.
Because, insists Dr Khan, the focus remains on emissions in the North and adaptation to climate change in the South. The South is the vi…

WASHINGTON, Aug 29 2007 (IPS) – Record numbers of people lack health insurance and poverty remains largely unchanged five years after the U.S. economy began clawing its way back from recession.
Modest gains in household income have failed to lift significant numbers out of poverty, the latest U.S. government data show.
The national poverty rate fell to 12.3 percent in 2006, down from 12.6 percent the year before, but remains well above the 11.3 percent mark recorded in 2000, the last year in which it dropped, the U.S. Census Bureau said Tuesday. It said family earnings had risen modestly because more members were working and contributing to household income.
Not everyone has benefited, however.
In the countryside, poverty has stagnated at 15…

BOSTON, Sep 30 2007 (IPS) – The executive director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) is urging action as concerns the transmission of HIV to children through sexual abuse, incest and early teenage sex.
Many outreach programmes target HIV-positive pregnant women and young children, and progress is being made in this arena, Peter Piot told IPS during a recent conference at Harvard Medical School in the eastern U.S. city of Boston.
But, There is more than mother-to-child transmission, much more. This is neglected and is even a cover up.
We should not put our heads in the sand We must prevent new HIV infections.
Lack of attention to these difficulties especially affects girls and women, who now account for nearly …
