Medical staff exodus closes 1,000 hospitals

THE UNABATED migration of doctors and nurses for higher-paying jobs abroad has forced the closure of as many as 1,000 private hospitals in the last five years, according to a top official of a group of private hospitals nationwide.

There are now only around 700 private hospitals in the country, Dr. Antonio Chang, president of the Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines (PHAP), said during his group's annual convention at the Manila Hotel on Tuesday.

"We fear for the health of the people, especially those living in the countryside," Chang said, adding that in the past month alone, 12 private hospitals folded up.

The situation is so dire that in the 50-bed Saint Anthony's Hospital in the impoverished central island of Masbate, only one doctor is working full time.

In other hospitals, college graduates without any medical background are trained to work as "caregivers," or medical aides, to fill the void left by the migrating doctors and nurses.

Resident doctors in private hospitals receive a measly take-home pay of up to 18,000 pesos a month while nurses are paid 12,000 pesos. In contrast, they could earn tens of thousands of dollars if they worked in the United States or Europe.

Many Filipino doctors also return to school to get a degree in nursing, because nurses are in greater demand abroad, experts say.

The Journalist’s Code of Ethics

I. I shall scrupulously report and interpret the news, taking care not to suppress essential facts nor to distort the truth by omission or improper emphasis. I recognize the duty to air the other side and the duty to correct substantive errors promptly.

II. I shall not violate confidential information on material given me in the exercise of my calling.

III. I shall resort only to fair and honest methods in my effort to obtain news, photographs and/or documents, and shall properly identify myself as a representative of the press when obtaining any personal interview intended for publication.

IV. I shall refrain from writing reports that will adversely affect a private reputation unless the public interest justifies it. At the same time, I shall fight vigorously for public access to information.

V. I shall not let personal motives or interests influence me in the performance of my duties, nor shall I accept or offer any present, gift or other consideration of a nature that may cast doubt on my professional integrity.

VI. I shall not commit any act of plagiarism.

VII. I shall not, in any manner, ridicule, cast aspersions on, or degrade any person by reason of sex, creed, religious belief, political conviction, cultural and ethnic origin.

VIII. I shall presume persons accused of crime of being innocent until proven otherwise. I shall exercise caution in publishing names of minors and women involved in criminal cases so that they may not unjustly lose their standing in society.

IX. I shall not take unfair advantage of a fellow journalist.

X. I shall accept only such tasks as are compatible with the integrity and dignity of my profession, invoking the “conscience clause” when duties imposed on me conflict with the voice of my conscience.

XI. I shall conduct myself in public or while performing my duties as journalist in such manner as to maintain the dignity of my profession. When in doubt, decency should be my watchword.

Wikipedia may go to print, says founder
By Paul Holmes
Mon Oct 31, 8:23 PM ET

Entries from Wikipedia, the popular free online encyclopedia written and edited by Internet users, may soon be available in print for readers in the developing world, founder Jimmy Wales said on Monday.

He said content from the Web site may also be burned onto CDs and DVDs so computer users in places like Africa, who lack access to high-speed Internet, could consult parts of the reference work offline.

Wales also described as incorrect reports, one of them from Reuters, that certain pages of the Wikipedia could be subject to tightened controls or "frozen" for good to prevent vandals and pranksters from tampering with them.

"We are talking to several agents and publishers about what they would be interested in," Wales said of the book project.

He cited health, football and histories of World War Two or rock 'n' roll as examples of how entries could be grouped into subjects.

"I have always liked the idea of going to print because a big part of what we are about is to disseminate knowledge throughout the world and not just to people who have broadband," Wales said by telephone from St. Petersburg, Florida.

Issues like funding, distribution and topics were still being discussed but a first printed work could be ready from mid-2006, he added.

Wales, a 39-year-old former options trader, set up Wikipedia in 2001. The site operates through the Wikimedia Foundation, a nonprofit organization that relies on donations to pursue its goal of spreading knowledge for free.

The reference work uses "Wiki" software, which gives anyone with access to the Internet the opportunity to edit any page.

NO PLANS TO FREEZE PAGES

Some 350,000 people have contributed terms, background, context or simply corrected spellings for more than 2 million Wikipedia entries in more than 25 active languages. About 800,000 entries are in English.

Wales, an American, said a core group of around 2,000 contributors did the bulk of the work and formed the backbone of the Wikipedia "community."

In August, Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper quoted Wales as saying that "controls" could be tightened to protect potentially sensitive pages of Wikipedia. Reuters picked up the report and, in translating sections of it, said some pages could be "frozen" in perpetuity.

"The idea that we are going to tighten our editorial 'rules' is completely not correct (and) the articles would not be frozen in perpetuity," Wales said. He said he had been misinterpreted and mistranslated.

Wales said new software would be deployed from the end of the year that would allow changes to very active pages which might be prone to vandalism to appear on the site with a time delay, so members of the community could review them.

Enthusiasts had also been discussing whether to create "stable" versions of certain pages that would stand as the most recent reliable entry on a given topic. These would be available behind the latest contributed version and would also be updated as necessary, Wales said.
