Hey everyone,
I have some great news to share with you! The Healthcare Asia Awards deadline has been extended until January 31, 2025. This is a fantastic opportunity for healthcare leaders to nominate their hospitals and clinics for their exceptional achievements. The awards aim to honor those who have made a positive impact on patients and the healthcare industry in the Asia Pacific region. There are various categories to choose from, including CEO of the Year, Hospital of the Year, and Specialty Hospital of the Year. The awards dinner will take place on April 10, 2025, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This is a wonderful chance to celebrate and honor the most innovative healthcare providers in the region.
In other news, a recent study has found that diets high in processed meats, like bacon and sausage, are associated with a higher risk of dementia later in life. This is an important finding that could lead to updates in dietary guidelines to promote cognitive health. Also, the FDA has published new rules that could spark major changes for public health and consumers. The rules aim to lower the legal nicotine limit in cigarettes to make smoking less addictive, and to ban red dye no. 3 from food and drugs.
States are also facing hard choices on Medicaid funding, and pharmaceutical companies and biotechs are expecting an uptick in dealmaking in 2025. There’s a lot happening in the healthcare industry, and it’s exciting to see the potential for positive changes and advancements.
I hope you found these updates as interesting and uplifting as I did. Stay tuned for more exciting news and developments in the healthcare world!
Summy
Stay Well!
