“…In a recent article, Marmot et al (2012) speak about the importance of ensuring that all children receive an excellent foundation in life by addressing social inequality through early childhood care and education. They go further to call this a human rights issue.…”

One factor that has been identified to enhance the early development of children is the care provided by caregivers outside the home environment. However, little research has been done in this regard in South Africa, where a significant number of children receive care outside their home environment. The current research study subsequently focused on the experiences of caregivers who work with young children in an under-resourced community. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and revealed the following themes: the responsibility of being a role model; ECD is a place; and challenges for all. Overall, the participants in this sample yielded valuable information that contributes not only to our understanding of the experiences of caregivers in under-resourced communities but the information that also described how some contextual factors could arguably influence the type of care given to young children.

“…Allowing unregulated enhancement presents a number of potential harms (Davis 2017). First, there is the issue that cognitive enhancement may only be available to those who can afford it, leading to, or widening, a divide in health between the richer and the poorer in society (Marmot et al 2012). Second, by focusing on cognitive performance, we risk losing respect for natural human variation, which is one of the factors that define our humanity (Jordan 1921), and instead narrow the range of acceptable domains of achievement.…”

Advances in medicine and healthcare and better education about healthy living have led to a greater proportion of people living healthily into older age. As the global population ages, it will become necessary to address the societal implications of this demographic change. Successful treatment of physical illnesses means that people are more likely to experience cognitive decline, either naturally through the ageing process or through the onset of dementia and related disorders. This will shift the healthcare burden from physical to cognitive care. In addition, healthy, active people are likely to remain in work, meaning that cognitive performance in the healthy elderly will require monitoring and support. This review will consider the possible role of brain stimulation technology in preserving or enhancing cognitive health in the healthy ageing population, and will discuss the current state of scientific research and the gaps in our knowledge around stimulating the brain of the older person.

“…Inequities in the income distribution imply considerably in the social and health determinants, 1,24,25,26 coming from a social stratification 27 and political inequalities that permeate in the health system and challenges its management. 2 Hence, it is necessary actions that involve the whole political sphere of governments in order to promote social and economic policies capable of reducing income differences and promoting equity in the health system.…”

“…2 Hence, it is necessary actions that involve the whole political sphere of governments in order to promote social and economic policies capable of reducing income differences and promoting equity in the health system. 2,24 In the level of individual maternal determinants in the South region, the maternal age between 30 and 39 years influenced the children's visit to the child care, on the other hand, there seems to be a risk tendency for failures in the care for mothers with more children. In both regions, the access was significantly higher for children whose mothers had more than six prenatal consultations and could have indicated that mothers with more frequency at the health service before the delivery, maintain them during the children's first year of life.…”
