Burden of Zoonotic Diseases in Africa Sample Clauses

Burden of Zoonotic Diseases in Africa. The burden of zoonotic diseases in Africa is not well documented, in part, because of weak surveillance and health information systems in the continent and also because some of these diseases are not considered of high priority within both the human health and animal health sectors. A report in 2012 from WHO-Africa Region (WHO- AFRO) indicated that 25% of the public health emergencies of international concern (PHEIC) reported from the region is zoonotic. Studies on emerging infectious diseases have identified the Congo basin in Africa as one of the important hotspots for emerging disease worldwide, with increased reporting of viral hemorrhagic fever outbreaks. The other two global hotspots for emerging diseases are the Amazon basin in Southern America and the Gangetic plains in Southeast Asia. In many African countries, outbreaks of endemic zoonotic diseases such as anthrax, brucellosis and rabies have considerable impact on the health care systems at the local level and adversely affect livelihoods but this problem remains poorly defined. As a result, mitigating actions to address the challenges caused by zoonoses are often lacking. Yellow fever is endemic in 33 countries in the African region. Among these, 12 West African countries carry 75% of the total disease burden5. Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever has occurred in Uganda severally. Between 2000 and 2001 there were 425 cases and 224 deaths. Another outbreak occurred in 2007-2008 in Uganda (149 cases/37 deaths)6.

  • How to Request an External Appeal If you remain dissatisfied with our medical appeal determination, you may request an external review by an outside review agency. In accordance with §27-18.9-8, your external appeal will be reviewed by one of the external independent review organizations (IRO) approved by the Office of the Health Insurance Commissioner. The IRO is selected using a rotational method. Your claim does not have to meet a minimum dollar threshold in order for you to be able to request an external appeal. To request an external appeal, submit a written request to us within four (4) months of your receipt of the medical appeal denial letter. We will forward your request to the outside review agency within five (5) business days, unless it is an urgent appeal, and then we will send it within two (2) business days. We may charge you a filing fee up to $25.00 per external appeal, not to exceed $75.00 per plan year. We will refund you if the denial is reversed and will waive the fee if it imposes an undue hardship for you. Upon receipt of the information, the outside review agency will notify you of its determination within ten (10) calendar days, unless it is an urgent appeal, and then you will be notified within seventy-two (72) hours. The determination by the outside review agency is binding on us. Filing an external appeal is voluntary. You may choose to participate in this level of appeal or you may file suit in an appropriate court of law (see Legal Action, below). Once a member or provider receives a decision at one of the several levels of appeals noted above, (reconsideration, appeal, external), the member or provider may not ask for an appeal at the same level again, unless additional information that could affect such decisions can be provided.
