Louisiana Senate Committee Narrowly Approves Provider 'Conscience' Bill
The Louisiana Senate Health and Welfare Committee on Wednesday approved a bill (H.B. 517) that would expand the ability of health care workers to refuse to provide services for moral or religious reasons, the Baton Rouge Advocate reports. The bill passed by a 3-2 vote after the addition of amendments to narrow the scope of the legislation. According to the Advocate, the bill would allow a medical worker to choose not to participate in any service "that violates his conscience," which it defines as a religious belief or moral conviction. Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) supports the legislation, as do conservative groups like the Louisiana Family Forum and the Louisiana Right to Life Federation. Several groups oppose the bill, including Planned Parenthood, the Forum for Equality, Louisiana Agenda for Children and the American Civil Liberties Union. ACLU of Louisiana"s Marjorie Esman said that the bill could "lead to all kinds of unintended consequences," based on assertions of moral and religious objections (Blum, Baton Rouge Advocate, 6/11).

Canada And China Renew Plan Of Action For Cooperation In Health For 2009-2011

The Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of Health, and Dr. Chen Zhu, Minister of Health for the People"s Republic of China, today signed a Plan of Action for continued cooperation between the two countries on health priorities of mutual concern. The signing ceremony followed discussions among senior Canadian and Chinese health officials and experts on a range of health issues, including strengthening and reform of health-care systems, primary health care and food safety. "Canada and China have a lot to offer each other in terms of research, regulations and expertise on health-related issues," said Minister Aglukkaq. "The continued sharing of knowledge and insights in priority areas will contribute to the improved health and safety of citizens in both countries." Canada and China are already cooperating on a number of health-related fronts, including regulation of health products and medical research. Today"s signing reinforces and broadens work in areas of common concern, such as emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases and food safety. "China and Canada have a history of longstanding cooperation in health," said Minister Chen. "This 2009-2011 Plan of Action is a symbol of the commitment between Canada and China to continue to cooperate on mutual health issues and challenges to ensure the better health of our future generations." The document being signed today builds on the 2005 to 2008 Plan of Action which promoted cooperation between Canada and China in several areas, including: The timely sharing of information on emerging infectious diseases, such as the H1N1 influenza virus; and A better understanding of regulatory frameworks in the area of therapeutic products and Natural Health Products -- including Traditional Chinese Medicines -- to help ensure the safety and quality of these products. The new Plan of Action also advances the 1995 Memorandum of Understanding relating to health cooperation, and the abilities of Canada and China to further protect and promote health in their respective countries. The Ministers also discussed their support for ongoing educational collaboration, including the Canada-China Norman Bethune Research Scholarships programs, led by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. These activities help young Canadian and Chinese researchers work together on health issues affecting people in both countries. The Norman Bethune program allows Chinese students to pursue graduate studies with health researchers in Canada. Health Canada
