AI can guess racial categories from heart scans – what it means and why it matters

UK: How “AI” Imports “Racism” into Medical Heart Scans! (10.1.2026)

In the heart scan study, researchers found that the AI model wasn’t actually focusing on the heart itself, where there were few visible differences linked to racial categories. Instead, it drew information from areas outside the heart, such as subcutaneous fat as well as image artefacts – unwanted distortions like motion blur, noise, or compression that can degrade image quality. These artefacts often come from the scanner and can influence how the AI interprets the scan.

US: Americans Know Where a Privatised NHS is Leading! (2.1.2026)

The Americans have only got themselves to blame (I exclude my US comrades who are ill and injured – if it were up to me – you would receive free healthcare NOW) – but we in the UK possess a working-class which fought a brutal World War to put an end to health poverty. Now, my US relatives (yes – they exist) – used to come to the UK to receive “free” healthcare until one of the UK governments put an end to that perk (my father’s sister married a US soldier stationed in the UK – and went to live in Seattle). Now, when a health issue hits, they have to sell a plot of land to raise the funds to pay for operations and treatments. However, just as in the UK – with a restricted NHS – we have to endure various health issues just because there is no money. We literally “save-up” our illnesses until we can no longer take the pain – or the malady becomes life-threatening. Even then, for many there is no avenue of treatment available. As usual, the workers carry-out all the labour, produce all the profit, and receive very little of the earned benefits. We die of starvation surround by an ocean of food, we freeze surrounded by endless houses, and we die of medical neglect surrounded by first-world hospitals stacked with the most advanced drugs and trained experts. Trained experts that receive huge salaries from the very workers they refuse to treat – due to (fascistic) governmental dogma!

Compassionate CPC Healthcare Benefits the Nation!

China: CPC to Instigate Nationwide “Free Childbirth” Medical-Care by 2026! (14.12.2025)

Seven provincial-level regions, including Jilin, Jiangsu and Shandong, already provide full coverage for in-hospital childbirth medical expenses within the policy scopes.

Officials noted that the commitment applies to standard medical services. If expecting parents choose premium-priced hospitals, or opt for medications or materials not included in the basic insurance catalogue, those additional expenses will not be reimbursed.

The National Healthcare Security Administration is also planning to expand maternity insurance eligibility to include flexible workers, migrant workers, and people in new forms of employment, among other measures designed to encourage childbirth.

China’s maternity insurance now covers approximately 255 million people.

Labour Abolished NHS England!

UK: Labour Announces Plans for “Psychic” Hospitals! (1.10.2025)

It is the usual smoke and mirrors from the Labour government. What Labour is not telling you about the Moorfields experiment is that it occurred during the Covid-19 Pandemic when face-to-face appointments were replaced with telephone calls. As a lockdown was in place – Moorfields had no other option. As soon as Lockdown was lifted – Moorfields reverted to the traditional model of safe face-to-face appointments in an ever shrinking NHS. Labour is closing down the NHS – and is packaging each stage of this shutting down – as being “an improvement”. Psychic doctoring used to be illegal.

DPRK - Best Healthcare System in the World!

DPRK: Ultra-Modern [Socialist] Pyongyang General Hospital Nears Completion! (25.9.2025)

Expressing his pleasure of greeting the day when the one of the cherished desires is to be realized in the long run, he said with pride that the foundations of country’s public health will experience fundamental change if modern hospitals rise up in over 200 cities and counties across the country in the future and Pyongyang General Hospital will be splendidly recorded in the history of the new era of the country’s construction as a monumental entity symbolic of the first year of the healthcare revolution led by our Party and the first substantial starting point of the public health rejuvenation.

Jessica Brady contacted her GP practice more than 20 times feeling unwell

NHS: Privatising GPs Told to “Stop Killing Patients” Unnecessarily! (23.9.2025)

The Department of Health said many GP practices already used the correct approach, but that Jess’ s Rule would make this “standard practice across the country”.

Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting thanked Jess’s family, saying they had campaigned tirelessly through “unimaginable grief” to ensure Jessica’s legacy helps to save the lives of others.

“Patient safety must be the bedrock of the NHS, and Jess’s Rule will make sure every patient receives the thorough, compassionate, and safe care that they deserve, while supporting our hard-working GPs to catch potentially deadly illnesses,” he said.

Paul Callaghan, from Healthwatch England, which represents people who use health and social care services, said the rule should be implemented “quickly and consistently”.

“It’s also imperative that specialist teams have the resources to deal with potential increases in demand, resulting from increased referrals,” he said.
