?MeDevIS Platform

✅Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) has introduced an online platform called MeDevIS.

✅Medical Devices Information System (MeDevIS) is the first global open-access clearing house for information on medical devices.

✅It is designed to support governments, regulators and users in their decision-making on the selection, procurement and use of medical devices for diagnostics, testing and treatment of diseases and health conditions

✅It replaces paper-based literature search across multiple publications with non-standard device names which can add to the complexity.

✅Along with providing a single platform, MedevIS also aims to help make the naming of medical devices simpler.

✅MeDevIS references two international naming systems for medical devices:

*?European Medical Device Nomenclature (EMDN*): It is mostly used in European countries for registration in the European database.

?Global Medical Device Nomenclature (GMDN): It is used in regulatory agencies in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the USA and other Member States.

?World Population Day (WPD):

✅It is observed on July 11 every year.

✅It highlights the importance of addressing population-related concerns such as reproductive health, family planning, gender equality and sustainable development.

✅It provides a platform for governments, organizations, and individuals to engage in discussions and take action.

✅WPD 2024 Theme: "Leave no one behind; count everyone."

?History:
✅WPD was established by the United Nations (UN) and first observed in 1989, with participation from over 90 countries.
✅The idea was inspired by the world population reaching five billion on July 11, 1987, prompting Dr. KC Zachariah, a senior demographer at the World Bank, to suggest marking the occasion as World Population Day.

?Global Population:

✅In 2011, the world’s population reached 7 billion, and on 15 November 2022, the world’s populationreached 8 billion people.
✅Projections by the UN suggest that the global population will grow to approximately 5 billion by 2030, 9.7 billion by 2050, and 10.9 billion by 2100.
✅India holds the top place with a population of 44 billionas of July 2024. India overtook China as the country with the largest population in the world in 2022. 
✅China's population exceeds 1.4 billion but declined in 2024. Currently, China is second on the list, with a population of 1.42 billion.
✅With a population of 341 million, the United States is the third most populous country in the world.
✅More than half of global population growth between now and 2050 is expected to occur in Africa. Africa has the highest rate of population growth among major areas. 
✅In sharp contrast, the populations of 61 countries or areas in the world are expected to decrease by 2050, majority in Europe.
