Introduction and Rationale. Jamaica is an upper middle-income country. It is the third largest island in the Caribbean, the largest English-speaking Island in the Caribbean, and has an estimated total population of 2.8 million persons (US Census Bureau, 2018). Persons who are 20-64 years old account for approximately 61% of the population, and persons 65 years and older account for 9.3% (US Census Bureau, 2018; PIOJ, 2019). As the population continues to see improvements in life expectancy from 74 years in 2000 to 76 years in 2019 (see figure 1), the burden on the health care system will likely increase. Jamaica has been implementing social protection systems since the 1886 Poor Relief Act which has supported the development of many programs to include cash transfer, food security assistance, fee waivers for health services, and health insurance. In May 2007, the Government of Jamaica (GOJ) removed user fees for access to public health facilities for persons aged 18 and below and on April 1, 2008, abolished user fees for all persons. Jamaica has a well-developed network of public health centers and hospitals to improve access to health care with over 341 health facilities across the fourteen parishes (PIOJ, 2019; Vision-2030, 2009). Jamaica also has a national pharmaceutical supply benefit for all persons with chronic diseases to be able to receive subsidy or free refills for over 800 commonly prescribed vital essential and necessary medications. Despite this and the accompanying increase in utilization of health care services, there continues to be a rise in disability and deaths caused by diabetes, cardiovascular disease and renal disease (Vision-2030, 2009). In 2018, 5% of the adult population reportedly had diabetes and 13% had hypertension (PIOJ, 2021). In 2019, stroke, ischemic heart disease, and diabetes mellitus were among the top 5 causes for death in Jamaican males with rates of 76.0, 61.3, and 56.9 deaths per 100,000 population, respectively (IHME, 2019). Stroke, ischemic heart disease, and diabetes mellitus are also the top 3 cause of deaths for females with rates of 82.6, 49.3, and 78.0 per 100,000 population, respectively (IHME, 2019). The economic impact of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) on the public health system in Jamaica is significant. Thesis Problem: The burden of NCDs in Jamaica, including diabetes and hypertension, is increasing (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2019). Although the country has a no user fee policy for health care services and pharmaceuticals for all residen...
Introduction and Rationale. 1.1. On 16 March 2022, agreements were concluded whereby the Altron Group, via its major subsidiaries, Altron TMT Proprietary Limited (“ATMT”) and Altron TMT SA Group Proprietary Limited (“ATMTSA”) would dispose of all its business interest in Altron Document Solutions (“ADS”) and its associated subsidiary in the Eastern Cape, Genbiz Trading 1001 Proprietary Limited (“Genbiz”), to a third party purchaser, Xerotech Proprietary Limited (“Xerotech”), a subsidiary of Bi-Africa Investment Holdings Proprietary Limited (“Bi-Africa”). In terms of the disposal, Altron, ATMT, ATMTSA, Xerotech and BiAfrica (collectively “the Parties”) have concluded a sale of business agreement and a sale of shares agreement to record the salient terms of the disposal therein (“the Transactions”) (“the Agreements”). The disposal of the ADS operating division is aligned to the Group’s 2.0 strategy and the decision to dispose of the ADS business will result in a greater focus on Altron’s core ICT businesses which still remain in the portfolio of companies.

Introduction and Rationale. Around the world, key populations (as defined by the President’s Emergency Fund for AIDS Relief [PEPFAR]) bear a disproportionate burden of HIV/AIDS (WHO, 2014). Throughout Eastern and Southern Africa, these groups – men who have sex with men (MSM), sex workers (SW), and people who inject drugs (PWID) – have HIV prevalence rates between 1 to 7 times higher than their respective national prevalence rates (See Figure 1). Additionally, accurate data for these sub-populations are often missing or incomplete, despite the fact that key populations have been identified as important populations in stemming the HIV epidemic (PEPFAR, 2012). These populations can become somewhat invisible in their national contexts and also encounter high levels of stigma, an additional barrier to HIV prevention, treatment, and long-term care. Such discrimination has been linked with a lower likelihood to seek HIV treatment and to adhere to care (Xxxxxx, 2013). Further, laws criminalizing homosexuality, sex work, and drug use in many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa complicate efforts to reach key populations with care. Using Kenya as the focus country of this project, key populations members there bear around three times the HIV burden of the general population. According to UNAIDS, HIV prevalence among MSM and PWID in Kenya in 2011 was 18%, compared to the national adult prevalence of 5.3% (Xxxxxxxxxxxxx, XxXxxxxx et al. 2015). The Integrated Biological and Behavioral Surveillance Survey in 2010 estimated HIV prevalence close to 30% for sex workers (NACC, 2014). Additionally, key populations in Kenya experience stigma from health providers,
Introduction and Rationale. As a result of Projet San Francisco’s (PSF) work in Rwanda, Couples Voluntary Counseling and Testing (CVCT) is now the standard of care in government clinics, but misconceptions about long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) options have prevented their widespread uptake and have inhibited the subsequent benefits of decreased unwanted pregnancies and safer conception among HIV-discordant couples. Accompanying this are provider hesitancies, limited supply and socially ingrained stigma. Couples Family Planning Counseling (CFPC) seeks to address the need for combined HIV and family planning services. In recent years, Animateurs de Santé (ADS), Rwanda’s Community Health Workers (CHW), have received extensive training through the Ministry of Health (MoH) to deliver oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) and injectable contraceptives in homes. PSF has identified a unique opportunity to expand this training to include CFPC and the promotion of LARC methods.
Introduction and Rationale. Astrapak Property Holdings Proprietary Limited (“APH”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Astrapak, has entered into an agreement (“Transaction Agreement”) to dispose of certain properties located in the industrial area of Denver, Johannesburg. The properties, consisting of a number of warehouses, production facilities and offices measuring approximately 40,941 square meters under roof in the aggregate (“the Properties”), together with their related letting enterprises (together “the Property Businesses”), are being acquired by Injalo Warehousing Proprietary Limited, a subsidiary of Trueprop Proprietary Limited (“Injalo”) (“the Transaction”). The decision to dispose of the Property Businesses accords with Astrapak’s strategic objective to dispose of its residual properties already classified as assets held for sale.
