Increasing Life Expectancy Sample Clauses

Increasing Life Expectancy. South Africa’s life expectancy is adversely affected by communicable diseases such as HIV, TB, malaria, respiratory infections and diarrhoeal diseases; high maternal and child mortality; increasing levels of non-communicable diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, cancer and cardio vascular diseases; as well as violence and trauma related injuries. Maternal and child health and HIV and TB will be covered by outputs 2 and 3 and this section will address outputs on increasing life expectancy through non-communicable diseases, trauma related injuries and communicable diseases that are not part of HIV, AIDS and TB. Malaria continues to contribute to reduction in life expectancy and more than 1 million deaths per annum associated with malaria occur in Africa. Most of these deaths occur among children under 5 years of age. In Sub-Saharan Africa, malaria constitutes a major barrier to social and economic development. In South Africa, malaria is mainly transmitted along the border areas shared with Mozambique, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. Three of the nine provinces of South Africa, namely: Limpopo, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal are endemic for malaria and 10% of the population (approximately 4.9 million persons) are at risk of contracting the disease. Malaria cases in South Africa have been steadily declining over the past 9 years. Between 2000 and 2008, malaria-related morbidity was reduced by 88% (from 64,622 to 7,796 cases for the respective years) and mortality by 90% (from 458 to 46 deaths respectively). Both morbidity and mortality as a result of malaria can be reduced further over the next few years. The country has the capacity to move towards complete malaria eradication. Globalisation has contributed to increased international travel and trade, and the emergence and re-emergence of international communicable disease threats. These threats call for epidemic preparedness and the effective implementation of the International Health Regulations (IHRs). In terms of the IHRs, South Africa is required to develop minimum core public health capacities, and to develop, strengthen and maintain these by July 2012. Non-communicable diseases contributed 28% of the total burden of disease measured by disability-adjusted life years in 2004. Cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, respiratory diseases and cancers contributed 12% of the overall burden while around 20% of all mortality is due to non-communicable diseases. The prevalence of mental disorders has been found t...

The Employer shall advise the survivor of this benefit.

  • Interest Factor With respect to this Floating Rate Note, accrued interest is calculated by multiplying the principal amount of such Note by an accrued interest factor. The accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the particular Interest Reset Period. The interest factor for each day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which the CD Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Open Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, or by the actual number of days in the year, in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis. In the case of a series of Notes that bear interest at floating rates as to which the Constant Maturity Swap Rate is the Interest Rate Basis, the interest factor for each day will be computed by dividing the number of days in the interest period by 360 (the number of days to be calculated on the base is of a year of 360 days with twelve 30-day months (unless (i) the last day of the interest period is the 31st day of a month but the first day of the interest period is a day other than the 30th or 31st day of a month, in which case the month that includes that last day shall not be considered to be shortened to a 30-day month, or (ii) the last day of the interest period is the last day of the month of February, in which case the month of February shall not be considered to be lengthened to a 30-day month)). The interest factor for a Floating Rate Note as to which the interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only the applicable Interest Rate Basis specified above applied.
