1Ministry of Public Health, Beirut, Lebanon (Correspondence to W. Ammar: [email protected]). 2University of Balamand, El-Koura, Lebanon. Received: 07/03/06; accepted: 18/07/06 ABSTRACT The quality of hospital care in Lebanon has witnessed a paradigm shift since May 2000, from a traditional focus on physical structure and equipment to a broader multidimensional approach, emphasizing managerial processes, performance and output indicators. In the absence of an effective consumer voice, the impetus for change has come from the Ministry of Public Health, which has supported the development of an accreditation programme for hospitals. This paper describes and analyses the experience of Lebanon in introducing this programme. It looks at the application of normative measures on private institutions that have been used to operating in a loosely controlled environment with little accountability.

Is the RET proto-oncogene involved in the pathogenesis of intestinal neuronal dysplasia type B?
Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is defined by the absence of intramural ganglia of Meissner and Auerbach along variable lengths of the gastrointestinal tract. Intestinal neuronal dysplasia (IND) type B is characterized by the malformation of the parasympathetic submucous plexus of the gut. A connection appears to exist between these two enteric nervous system abnormalities. Due to the major role pl...
متن کاملOn Isomorphisms of Certain Functors for Cherednik Algebras
Bezrukavnikov and Etingof introduced some functors between the categories O for rational Cherednik algebras. Namely, they defined two induction functors Indb, indλ and two restriction functors Resb, resλ. They conjectured that one has functor isomorphisms Indb ∼= indλ,Resb ∼= resλ. The goal of this paper is to prove this conjecture.
