Sommario/riassunto

Modern practical medicine requires high tech in diagnostics and therapy and in consequence in education. All disciplines use computers to handle large data bases allowing individual therapy, to interpret large data bases in form of neuronal signals, help visualization of organs during surgery. This book contains chapters on personalised



therapy, advanced diagnostics in neurology, modern techniques like robotic surgery (da Vinci robots), 3D-printing and 3D-bioprinting, augmented reality applied in medical diagnostics and therapy. It is impossible without fast large scale data mining in both: clinical data interpretation as well as in hospital organization including hybrid surgery rooms and personal data flow. The book is based on a course for medical students organized in the editor's department. Every year, around 300 international undergraduate medical students take the course.

Sommario/riassunto

KEY ISSUES Context: Chad is a fragile country with weak institutional capacity that needs to manage volatile  and exhaustible oil revenues prudently to tackle its large development needs. Chad is enjoying a period of domestic political stability, but major regional security issues are  imposing significant fiscal costs in both the short and medium term. Macroeconomic policy over the last few years has achieved a gradual tightening of the underlying  fiscal policy stance together with a sizable increase in public investment. Satisfactory performance under an SMP in 2013 demonstrated the authorities’ commitment to improved  macroeconomic management and has set the ground for an upper



credit tranche arrangement with the  Fund. Policy Framework: The government’s medium-term economic program, anchored by the 2013-2015 National  Development Plan (NDP), aims at reinforcing economic growth and making it more inclusive, while  maintaining macroeconomic stability and fiscal sustainability. Given the continued heavy dependence  on volatile oil revenues that are projected to decline over the long-term and the currently high  risk of debt distress, macroeconomic policies target a sustained fiscal adjustment, a buildup of  liquidity buffers, and economic diversification. Those objectives will be underpinned by a reform  agenda focused on strengthening public financial and debt management and improving the business  environment. Request for an Extended Credit Facility arrangement: In the attached letter of intent, the  authorities request a three-year arrangement under the Extended Credit Facility   (ECF) in the  amount of SDR 79.92 million (120 percent of quota) in support of their medium-term economic  program. The ECF arrangement is expected to address the country’s protracted balance of payments’  problems resulting from a trend reduction in oil revenues, maintain adequate international  reserves’ coverage, and play a catalytic role for bilateral and multilateral assistance to Chad.  The accompanying memorandum of economic and financial policies spells out in more detail the  objectives of the program and policy actions that the government of Chad envisages to undertake  during 2014–17.
