TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explored policymakers' perspectives towards providing palliative care (PC) services at the national level in resource-limited countries, and found that several challenges to the provision of PC were related to issues of education and training, the allocation of funding, and the availability of medications.
Abstract: Despite increasing recognition of the role played by palliative care (PC) services, the priorities of policymakers in supporting PC remain unclear and have sometimes engendered controversy. There are few studies exploring policymakers' perspectives towards PC services, with most shedding light on obstacles to PC development. Furthermore, no study has explored policymakers' perspectives towards providing PC at the national level in resource-limited countries. This study provides a platform for providing PC as part of the Palestinian healthcare system (HCS) by exploring policymakers' perspectives on PC, an essential step to developing a PC programme.A descriptive qualitative study design was employed using semi-structured interviews. Participants were those identified as responsible for making executive and legislative decisions about health services (including PC) in the HCS. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis.Twelve decision and policymakers participated in the study. Four categories were generated from the content analysis: (1) the nature of current PC healthcare services, (2) the potential benefits of PC, (3) challenges to providing PC, and (4) considerations in providing PC. The current PC services provided to Palestinian patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families are not comprehensive, and are limited to symptom management. There is a Palestinian national strategic plan for developing PC; however, the development goals are not clearly defined, and the plan's capabilities are inadequate. Several challenges to the provision of PC were found to relate to issues of education and training, the allocation of funding, and the availability of medications.Integrating PC into the Palestinian university curricula as a compulsory course and establishing higher degree programmes in PC to overcome the shortage of PC specialists is required. Developing policies aligned with national laws could help enhance health services to patients and their families and resolve several challenges. Cooperating with national and international institutions in seeking funding could boost PC development and medication availability.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors argue that neonatal drug and device development has lagged behind other patient populations and that providers are using drugs and devices without adequate study of safety and efficacy, which will require novel approaches and unique collaborations between multiple key stakeholders.
Abstract: Neonatal drug and device development has lagged behind other patient populations. Oftentimes, providers are using drugs and devices without adequate study of safety and efficacy. Neonates deserve dedicated drug and device development programs, which will require novel approaches and unique collaborations between multiple key stakeholders. Legislative efforts, infrastructure, clinical trial methodology, and international collaborations have all contributed to improvements in neonatal drug and device development, but more work is still needed. Leadership from neonatologists, clinical care providers, and parents is essential to implement needed changes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the European Commission joined the transnational effort by publishing its own proposal on the subject and analyzed how this legal diversity will affect the level playing field in the competition for banking services and the consistency of global financial regulation.
Abstract: One of the key issues in the on-going overhaul of the global financial system is the structural reform of banking systems. Legislatures in different states, e.g. the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, have all taken measures to protect individual depositors' assets against losses from risky bank activities. On 29 January 2014, the European Commission joined the transnational effort by publishing its own proposal on the subject. This contribution shows how the same economic goal is implemented through different approaches by legislatures across the globe. It also analyses how this legal diversity will affect the level playing field in the competition for banking services and the consistency of global financial regulation.
