Church v Patient: Can a Pastor be sued for wrong medical advice?

Church v Patient: Can a Pastor be sued for wrong medical advice?

Health & Wellbeing
The quest for urgent medical solutions is driving some patients from seeking standard medical solutions. Thus, instead of going to the hospital upon falling sick, they prefer to go to pastors, marabout,  traditional healers, prophets, seers, mallams, and prayer camps among others, with the expectation of getting total healing at any cost. Most of them, assert that orthodox medicines alone are not enough; they must be supplemented with anointing oils, counseling from pastors, herbal medicines, and other possible solutions. So when a patient seeks the services of a pastor for medical solutions, do these pastors lace the shoes of becoming ‘medical doctors’   or drugless healers or does the court still consider them as pastors performing their clerical duties?  Is the...

EU warns Elon Musk ‘disinformation’ is spreading on X after Hamas attack

International
The EU has warned Elon Musk that X is being used to spread "disinformation" after Hamas' attack on Israel. In a post on the site formerly known as Twitter, the bloc's industry chief said "violent and terrorist content" had not been taken down, despite warnings - as is required by EU law. Mr Musk said his company had taken action, including by removing newly-created Hamas-affiliated accounts. He asked the EU to list the alleged violations. Thierry Breton, Commissioner for the Internal Market of the European Union, did not give details on the disinformation he was referring to in his letter to Mr Musk. However, he said that instances of "fake and manipulated images and facts" were widely reported on the social media platform. "I therefore invite you to urgently ensure that ...

“Over 90% of Ghanaian kidney failure patients who should receive dialysis are not getting it”

“Over 90% of Ghanaian kidney failure patients who should receive dialysis are not getting it”

Ghana News, Health & Wellbeing
Over 90% of Ghanaian kidney failure patients who desperately need dialysis are being denied access to this life-saving treatment. This is according to a yet to be published study titled "Fifty years of haemodialysis in Ghana - current status, utilization, and cost of dialysis services". This study authored by Dr. Elliot Koranteng Tannor and his dedicated team of caregivers has unveiled statistics that expose the harsh reality of the situation. The report reveals alarming figures.

Malaria vaccine big advance against major child killer

Malaria vaccine big advance against major child killer

Health & Wellbeing
A cheap malaria vaccine that can be produced on a massive scale has been recommended for use by the World Health Organization (WHO). The vaccine has been developed by the University of Oxford and is only the second malaria vaccine to be developed. Malaria kills mostly babies and infants, and has been one of the biggest scourges on humanity. There are already agreements in place to manufacture more than 100 million doses a year. It has taken more than a century of scientific effort to develop effective vaccines against malaria. The disease is caused by a complex parasite, which is spread by the bite of blood-sucking mosquitoes. It is far more sophisticated than a virus as it hides from our immune system by constantly shape-shifting inside the human body. That makes it hard...
