JUDY WOODRUFF: Next: bridging the gap between science and spirituality to treat mental illness in India.
Fred de Sam Lazaro has this report, part of our Agents for Change series. It also aired on the PBS program Religion & Ethics Newsweekly.
FRED DE SAM LAZARO: This tomb of an Islamic figure revered here in western India martyred 500 years ago has long been a pilgrimage destination.
Thousands of faithful not just Muslims, but also Hindus, Christians, Sikhs and others from across India come here each day to pray for a blessing or a miracle: couples unable to conceive, people suffering from various maladies. Its also the closest thing for many Indians to a mental health facility.
It is a taboo subject, the stigma especially hard on families of people with mental illness, treated as a curse, a demonic possession or karma for misdeeds in a past life.
Sayyad Varis Ali is a trustee of this shrine.
SAYYAD VARIS ALI, (through interpreter): The people who come here with mental illness, they have tried everything else and they have not gotten any relief. And finally this is the place that they come to, they come here to pray.
FRED DE SAM LAZARO: At this shrine, dozens of faith healers called kadims (ph) recite prayers while patients perform rituals: breathing in smoke from incense burned at the tomb, walking around this dome seven times.
The numbers in India are simply staggering. There are thought to be about 100 million people with common mental disorders and up to 20 million with severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. For all of them, there are just 5,000 psychiatrists in this country.
So faith healers from across Indias diverse religious mosaic have long filled the gap, says Milesh Hamlai, a well-known mental health advocate.

PHILADELPHIA The dedication of Penn Medicine University City on September 12 will mark the grand opening of Penn Medicines newest outpatient facility, which showcases a new model for patient experience and engagement. The facility was developed with a $38 million investment from Penn Medicine, and in partnership with Good Shepherd Penn Partners, The University City Science Center and Wexford Science & Technology. The 150,000 square-foot outpatient site is now home to more than a dozen clinical specialties whose staff work together in multi-disciplinary teams aided by state-of-the-art medical technology to provide both a modern, one-stop-shop clinic for outpatient services, as well as an ambulatory surgical center and a 29,800-square-foot therapy and rehabilitation facility.
With nearly 110 exam rooms, six outpatient operating rooms, and an outpatient medical imaging and diagnostic testing center, Penn Medicine University City serves as Penn Presbyterian Medical Centers most comprehensive ambulatory care site. Its location expands Penns footprint within the West Philadelphia community, bringing more health care services closer to where people work. The facility also serves as a new front door to Penns campus from University City onto the growing Market Street medical and Science Center corridor, providing easier access for patients coming from West Philadelphia and the nearby suburbs.
This is a very exciting time to be at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, said Michele Volpe, executive director of Penn Presbyterian. With University Citys opening, we celebrate the first of many upcoming milestones for PPMC. The lessons learned throughout the design and development process of this extraordinary facility will inform the work we do each day in our existing facilities, helping us to continue building upon our already rich culture of excellence and map new strategies to deliver the very best patient care.
Penn Medicine University City serves as the first of many firsts for Penn Presbyterian, and the beginning of a major expansion for Penn Medicine. With the completion of the new Pavilion for Advanced Care scheduled for early 2015 the Health Systems regional Level I Trauma and Critical Care Center will transition from its current home at HUP, making way for a new patient facility.
Penn Medicine University City is an integral part of a series of development projects for our health system, said Ralph Muller, CEO of the University of Pennsylvania Health System. Each phase is designed to provide patients with the exceptional care for which Penn Medicine is known, throughout the City of Philadelphia and the region.
A preeminent example of Penn Medicine University Citys new patient engagement model is the Penn Musculoskeletal Center, the first enterprise of its kind in the region. The center offers a unique and highly specialized approach to treating orthopaedic disorders, injuries and other conditions of the joints, bones or muscles. On-site clinical specialties include orthopaedic surgery, rheumatology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, internal medicine, pain medicine, and therapy/rehabilitation services.The center will also be home to the new Penn Center for Human Performance, slated to open later this year.
Were offering a whole new approach to integrated care, said L. Scott Levin, MD, FACS, chair of the department of Orthopaedic Surgery. The goal is to provide patients with the same world-class care theyve come to expect at Penn Medicine, combined with added benefits and streamlined services to keep them engaged in their own care. When patients are involved and knowledgeable about their condition and the plan to management, both their experience and care are improved.
Developed using best practices from industry leaders in customer service, combined with Penn Medicine patient feedback, the Center offers a patient- and family-centered approach. For example, the Musculoskeletal Center provides each patient with a dedicated care coordinator, an innovative role that provides patients with a single point of contact for scheduling follow-up visits, additional tests, and referrals.
Upon arrival, patients visiting the Center will be escorted by a concierge to small waiting rooms which group patients according to specific conditions. For example, one hub is for patients with shoulder and elbow problems, while another is for knee injuries. In keeping with the goal of providing patients with a more engaging, personalized experience, the Center also offers added services such as check-in kiosks, iPads preloaded with injury-specific educational material, and large flat screens in exam rooms, to be used for clinicians to review and discuss imaging results with patients or offer patient education videos between visits with specialists.
Rehabilitation services are also a cornerstone of the facility, with Penn Therapy & Fitness University City providing specialized physical, occupational and speech therapy, including orthopedic and sports rehabilitation, hand therapy, cancer rehabilitation, neurologic therapy, cognitive therapy for patients recovering from strokes or head injuries, speech/language pathology, and womens health services. The facility contains Penn Medicines first therapy pool, complete with an underwater treadmill and underwater cameras. The cameras allow therapists to give guidance and direction while watching the patient move.

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE:
8-Sep-2014
Contact: Michael Petr michael.petr@insilicomedicine.com InSilico Medicine, Inc. http://www.twitter.com/InSilicoMeds
AbbVie and Google-backed Calico announced yesterday that they will co-invest up to $1.5 billion to create a leading R&D facility focused on aging and age-related diseases, including neurodegeneration and cancer. This center will be located in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the amalgamation of the two companies serves as a trailblazer for similar research teams dedicated to eradicating aging and age-related diseases.
Aging research has long been regarded by the pharmaceutical industry as a subject of controversy associated with failed expectations, ineffective remedies, and blatantly false claims. However, the explosion of the research and clinical data, fueled by the drop in sequencing costs and technology convergence, has led to the emergence of projects with credible business models and approaches targeting both the age-related diseases as well as the aging-associated processes. Advances in aging biomarkers and in silico drug screening methods may soon enable the pharmaceutical industry to revisit their business models and reshape the regulatory frameworks.
InSilico Medicine, Inc. is thrilled about this new collaboration and its innovative potential. "InSilico Medicine, Inc. has developed several methods for geroprotector and geroprotector combination discovery and screening that are undergoing pre-clinical validation with multiple publications out, in review, and in the pipeline. We must thank Google for paving the way and setting the trend. After they got involved in this field, it gained a lot of credibility. In our opinion it is not a competitor, it is a bulldozer, which will pave the way for the many innovative companies like us." InSilico Medicine CEO, Alex Zhavoronkov, says. "We salute Calico and AbbVie for spearheading the revolution in aging drug discovery and setting the example for other pharmaceutical companies to follow. These are fantastic news for InSilico Medicine, Inc., Human Longevity, Inc., Retrotope, Pathway Pharmaceuticals and many other companies pursuing age-related diseases and aging itself."
With the MipTec 2014 conference in such close proximity to this notable collaboration, there is a great deal excitement for the experts, industries, and enthusiasts of aging therapies. The conference will host exceptional speakers, elaborate forums, and a variety of sponsors and exhibitors all dedicated to practical applications of aging. The conference serves as a bridge for scientists and the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries to discover the potential for drug screening and discovery platforms for age-related disease. As more companies such as Calico and AbbVie continue to enter the field of aging research, forums like MipTec will increase in popularity and unite partners from a large variety of organizations on an international scale.

InSilico Medicine salutes Calico and AbbVie partnership, paves way for Basel conference
Dhaka: Bangladesh and India have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for enhanced cooperation in the fields of traditional medicine like Ayurveda and Unani, as World Health Organisation decided to lay an extra focus on the issue as an "important part of healthcare" in the region.
The two countries inked the deal here late yesterday on the sidelines of the WHO's South-East Asia regional conference where the traditional medicine was one of the major issues of discussion of the 11 health ministers, experts and officials.
Bangladesh's health officials said under the deal the two sides agreed to exchange all kinds of traditional medicines alongside the experts and physicians for conducting training.
They said recognised institutions of both the countries would provide scholarships to each other in addition to setting up an 'academic chair'.
Bangladesh's Health Minister Mohammad Nasim and his Indian counterpart Harsh Vardhan, WHO Director-General Margret Chan among others witnessed the signing of the deal shortly after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina opened the regional meet of the UN health organisation.
Officials said the deal was signed days after Bangladesh's cabinet approved the draft.
Talking to PTI on the sidelines of the conference, WHO's South-East Asia director Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh said that being the directing and coordinating authority for health within the UN system WHO now considers traditional medicine to be an "important part of healthcare" as most countries in the region have their own form of traditional medicine".
"Nine of the 11 countries (of WHO's South-East Asian region) are practising traditional medicine," she said, adding this reality now prompted the UN health organisation harness its potential contribution to health and universal health coverage under its new Tradition Medicine strategy for 2014-2024 period.
Singh said the traditional medicine like Ayurveda, Unani and other herbal treatment systems and homeopathy appeared cheaper, affordable and reliable to many people in the region while WHO regional office planned also to include the yoga as a practice as part of a "composite healthcare system".
"Generally they do not have side effects (unlike allopathic medicines) and many people also think there are some chronic diseases which could be cured only by the traditional medicine," she said.
