Elsevier launches new India COVID-19 Healthcare Hub to help curb the spread of misinformation and support clinicians

Complimentary resources include localized online learning tools for healthcare professionals and the public in India on the prevention and management of COVID-19, along with evidence-based information on COVID-19 vaccines

 

NEW DELHI, INDIA – News Direct – 21 May 2021 – Elsevier, a global leader in research publishing and information analytics, has launched its India COVID-19 Healthcare Hub for frontline healthcare workers and members of the public in India. Featuring complimentary resources and online learning tools, the India COVID-19 Healthcare Hub offers the latest evidence-based information on the novel coronavirus, with materials on the prevention and management of COVID-19 to help limit the spread of misinformation.

Recent research has shown that 67.2% of misinformation in India involves health-related topics, such as falsehoods on the COVID-19 vaccine, other forms of medical treatments, medical institutions and healthcare facilities1. The same study found that online media was responsible for higher volumes of inaccurate news (94.4%) compared to mainstream media (5.6%), with false claims being distributed mainly on social media platforms. As India continues to grapple with COVID-19 cases, it is imperative to address the threat of misinformation and its impact on the public health response.

To help support an overwhelmed healthcare system and combat the spread of misinformation, Elsevier’s India COVID-19 Healthcare Hub contains the latest fact-based information on COVID-19, including approved treatments and guidelines, along with other useful tools to help doctors, nurses and healthcare workers provide patient care. This resource aims to meet the increasing need for standardized, credible and accurate information around the pandemic and allow healthcare professionals to provide consistent and safe patient care.

Kok Keng Lim, Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Elsevier, said: “As a trusted partner to healthcare workers, we believe that Elsevier has a responsibility to provide high quality evidence-based information and tools on COVID-19 and the newly approved vaccines. By aligning these localized resources to global care standards, we aim to support frontline workers with credible data and patient discussion tools that can bolster their confidence to address concerns, dispel vaccine falsities and quickly make critical decisions for better patient outcomes. The India COVID-19 Healthcare Hub also provides patients with a single source of accurate data to help curb the spread of misinformation on the disease.”

In addition to the India COVID-19 Healthcare Hub, Elsevier is also supporting Swasth Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that promotes universal and affordable healthcare for the people of India. Together with the RELX Group, Elsevier’s parent company, the two organizations have contributed approximately 22 high-flow oxygen concentrators to support more than 12,000 critically ill patients in India.

Shankar Kaul, Managing Director, India, Elsevier, said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has been a global health crisis for over a year and our teams across the United Kingdom and Latin America have conducted extensive research around thee variants of coronavirus. These global insights are now available through the India COVID-19 Healthcare Hub, providing the public and healthcare professionals with access to the latest resources to manage the new strain of the virus.

“The India COVID-19 Healthcare Hub provides support to healthcare institutions, hospitals and healthcare professionals through evidence-based resources that can educate patients while protecting others in their communities. We urge all frontline workers and members of the public to utilize these resources to remain well informed about the prevention and management of COVID-19.”

The Vaccines Toolkit features the latest curated evidence-based information about vaccines approved for use to prevent COVID-19 infections. It also provides responses to pressing questions about how the vaccines work, as well as the active ingredients, dosage and regimen of the approved vaccines. At the same time, patients can access the toolkit to clarify common misconceptions surrounding the vaccines. The toolkit will be continuously updated as additional vaccines receive approval from regulatory authorities and as new information on the vaccines is released.

Patient resources are available to inform and educate the public on the prevention and management of the disease, as well as share knowledge around the COVID-19 vaccines. In addition, the Hub also provides resources on the various treatments and recovery plans that patients with COVID-19 will undergo to dispel misconceptions around the disease.

To further support nurses, the ICU Nursing Refresher Toolkit brings curated, key Nursing Skills and eLearning lessons to ICU nurses managing high volumes of COVID patients, as well as nurses called from other units to assist with COVID care in the ICU. The standards align with the guidelines from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) and serves to provide as a point-of-reference for nurses during such times.

Additional resources available on the COVID-19 Healthcare Hub include evidence-based clinical overviews, drug monographs, care plans, order sets and procedure videos for clinicians delivering care and information to patients.

The Hong Kong Institute of Housing Urges the Government to Form a Property Management Functional Constituency

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 20 May 2021 – The property management (“PM”) profession is a unique sector that is end-user-facing on an 24×7 basis and covers all buildings and spaces that are over 5million citizens that are utilized by people. The property management professionals are the masterminds of over 700,000 frontline staff who are working in various facets in the property management industry. The profession also works closely with experts in related sectors on regular basis and also on contingency management. But it is a pity for the community at large with the absence of their voices and comments that affects the majority of Hong Kong citizens under the current electoral system.

In view of this, a letter from the President of The Hong Kong Institute of Housing (“HKIH”), Ms Yu Chun, to the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), Ms Carrie Lam, GBM, GBS, delivered by end of April 2021 urges the government to consider recognizing the PM profession as a functional constituency under the existing electoral system in Hong Kong.

The HKIH proposed the PM functional constituency for the first time in 2014. Yet it has been a pity that the Government has not confirmed any roadmap for the cause. With the setup of Property Management Services Authority in 2016 and implementation of the PM licensing scheme in 2018, the need for the PM profession to be better-represented in form of a functional constituency becomes acute.

Official statistics indicated that over 12,000 professionals were engaged in PM related services in Hong Kong in 2020, covering essential daily management of residential, commercial, retail, and GIC spaces which kept society and community in efficient operation. According to scientific projection, the volume of workforce in the PM sector will rise to over 14,000 in 10 years’ time. This number accommodates organic growth only, without taking into account of any ad hoc need or unforeseeable occasions. Referencing the number of registered voters by functional constituencies in 2020, both the number of current and projected number of PM professionals in 10 years have already exceeded several key constituencies in the existing electoral system.

The PM industry comprises more than diligent frontline practitioners serving various parts of the community. In essence, PM professionals are the strategic masterminds behind all frontline staff who perform carefully the systemized and law-binding duties efficiently and effectively, so as to safeguard property and safety and wellbeing of owners/occupiers and users. The profession contributes extensively to the welfare of the society, in particular at times of crisis. It also stays in tune with local communities to get the pulse of public concerns while formulating practical solutions to issues arising in the society.

Over the years, elite members of the HKIH have been the key drivers of numerous local initiatives and on formulating land/housing policies aiming to improve urban living conditions, ranging from hygienic issues and public safety to urban renewal and city competitiveness. The PM profession holds transcending responsibilities and given its increasing contribution and significance, PM sector should be considered as a functional constituency to reflect its place in upholding public interest and acting as a trusted interface between the HKSAR Government and the profession.

“The HKIH has received an official reply from the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs outlining their goals in improving the electoral system. With our official appeal to form a PM Functional Constituency for the future wellbeing of Hong Kong at large, we urge the Government to recognize the rightful position of the PM profession and to perfect the electoral system in due course,” commented Ms Yu Chun, President of the HKIH.

About The Hong Kong Institute of Housing

The Hong Kong Institute of Housing (HKIH) was incorporated on 29 November 1988 and was officially registered on 9 May 1997, in accordance with The Hong Kong Institute of Housing Ordinance (Cap. 507, originally 34 of 1997). HKIH also initiated the registration of housing managers to the government; subsequently, the Housing Managers’ Registration Ordinance (Cap. 550) was subsequently gazetted on 26 November 1999. HKIH is the Recognised Professional Body (RPB) of Property Management Services Authority (PMSA) since December 2019.

SEAL Eco Advance Limited and Dow sign MoU to accelerate adoption of Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) resin for e-commerce packaging

  • New partnership aims to advance the recycling industry in Hong Kong, showcasing new opportunities for circular economy in Asia Pacific
  • Dow’s PCR resin enables SEAL’s sustainable courier bag solutions for Fortune 500 e-commerce companies looking for sustainable and recyclable packaging produced with recycled content

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 20 May 2021 – SEAL, a Hong Kong-based waste plastic recycling company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Dow (NYSE: DOW), one of the largest producers of polyethylene and specialty resins worldwide, to produce Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) resin based e-commerce packaging. An official MoU signing ceremony was held on 14th May at SEAL’s flagship recycling facility in Fanling in the presence of key representatives, stakeholders and strategic partners from both parties, as well as the Ravago Group, a leading European plastic products manufacturer and one of Dow’s channel partners in Asia Pacific.

The main representatives, stakeholders and strategic partners of both parties of this MoU: (from the left) Mr. Pak Kwan, Commercial Director of Ravago Group, Mr. David So, Chairman of SEAL, Mr. Lawrence Cheung, Senior Sales Director for Greater China of Dow Chemical Pacific Limited, Mr. Jason Chan, Sustainability Marketing Manager for Packaging and Specialty Plastics, Asia Pacific of Dow Chemical Pacific Limited, and (on the screen) Mr. Bambang Candra, Asia Pacific Commercial Vice President for Packaging & Specialty Plastics of Dow Chemical Pacific Limited.

Under the terms of the MoU, SEAL and Dow’s collaboration will produce PCR resin based e-commerce packaging in Asia Pacific, offering sustainable courier bag solutions to top global e-commerce players. This will help to increase the recycled content of their packaging, a major step in achieving their sustainability targets. In addition, SEAL is also using Dow’s compatibilizer modification solutions in their effort to recycle plastic hangers waste the company collects, and designing new products with recyclability in focus.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mr. Bambang Candra, Dow’s Asia Pacific Commercial Vice President for Packaging & Specialty Plastics, said: “This MoU is very meaningful in the Asia Pacific market because three of the top 10 ecommerce markets in the world are in this region. By using recycled content while maintaining packaging’s functional performance, every package delivered keeps plastics in the economy and out of the environment. This collaboration is in line with Dow’s 2035 sustainability target to close the loop by enabling 100% of Dow products sold into packaging applications to be reusable or recyclable.”

Mr. David So, Chairman of SEAL, said: “SEAL was founded in 2020 by our parent company China Eco-farming (HKEX: 8166), an investment holding company providing one-stop value chain services in Greater China. Their current projects on carbon offset and carbon neutrality fall in line with the latest policy address by President Xi Qinping at the 14th five-year plan (2021-2025). SEAL initially started with the recycling of used hangers made of Polystyrene and Polypropylene. As an ambitious company, our vision is to expand our recycling projects through application and material bases, including recycling LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) from courier bags, HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) from water buckets, nylon materials from electrical appliances and PVB from glass lamination. Our recycling collaboration with Dow allows us to introduce the first PCR plastics into the manufacturing of courier bags at our packaging facility in Dongguan, which is intended to meet the sustainability commitment of the Fortune Top 50 e-commerce enterprises.”

SEAL’s flagship site in Fanling handles and treats nearly 36,000 metric tons of worldwide waste and recyclables annually. It houses the largest shredder in Hong Kong to separate the metal parts from consume plastic waste like hangers and shred the plastic into small pieces for further processes. In addition, SEAL’s in-house laboratory provides tests of the separated materials, results of which help determine the recycling blending formula and ensure quality control of the final production of plastic pellets.

SEAL will continue exploring collaboration with different entities, including private companies and NGOs to establish partnerships, all aims at expanding SEAL’s sources of secure and sufficient plastic waste, increasing the recycling capacity, as well as ensuring a larger variety of plastics, such as PE (Polyethylene), PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) for recycling.

Community education is among the key initiatives SEAL currently is undertaking to promote the awareness of the plastic recycling industry in Hong Kong. Through site visits for schools, young generations will have the opportunity to learn about the plastic recycling processes and recoverable materials, as well as SEAL’s sustainable initiatives and solutions to plastic waste related issues.

“I believe SEAL’s vision is in line with Hong Kong’s long-term strategic plan for a more circular economy. We are immensely proud of our plastic recycling-based industrial production here in Hong Kong in such a sustainable manner,” Mr. So concluded.

All guests attending the MoU signing ceremony were given a special souvenir Prince Seal, which is one of SEAL’s first recycled products. He represents the importance of plastic recycling in alleviating pollution on the earth’s ecosystems. Prince Seal is not just a toy; it is made of 25% recycled products symbolizing the possibility of producing PCR products appreciated by us all.
