India presses for global 'code of conduct' over pilot poaching
India wants countries to agree on a new code of conduct on hiring each other's airline staff after raising concerns that its fast-growing aviation system is being stifled by the poaching of Indian pilots and cabin crew without adequate notice. India, one of the world's fastest-growing aviation markets, is wrestling with a shortage of experienced pilots, denting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's aspiration of developing a job-creating global aviation hub. The recent fatal crash of an Air India jetliner has sparked tighter scrutiny of the sector. But foreign airlines are repeatedly hiring skilled staff from Indian airlines, "adversely impacting India's ability to develop its civil aviation sector in an orderly manner," India said in an August 1 working paper submitted to the UN's aviation agency, the International Civil Aviation Organisation. "Airlines from other (countries) tend to recruit experienced pilots, engineers, technicians, and cabin crew from Indian carriers, preventing India's civil aviation sector from achieving planned and orderly growth," India wrote in the paper, without identifying any foreign airline by name. "This practice creates a vicious cycle where Indian carriers are forced to continuously recruit and train replacement personnel by diverting resources from expansion activities and operational improvements." The paper was released on the ICAO website ahead of its triennial assembly. It has not previously been reported. India's Civil Aviation Ministry was not immediately available for comment. India's government said in April the country would need 30,000 pilots over the next 15 to 20 years, up from the current 6,000–7,000, as airlines collectively had more than 1,700 aircraft on order. India's domestic aviation sector is led by IndiGo and Air India, while all major international airlines from Emirates to British Airways to Lufthansa operate regular flights. In 2023, Air India exchanged barbs with Akasa Air over the poaching of pilots domestically. The working paper asks for the creation of a code of conduct on the movement of skilled aviation workers among ICAO's member countries. It doesn't specify how the code of conduct would work. "These challenges cause economic losses that affect Indian carriers' ability to compete in international markets ... and achieve its ambitious target of 300 million domestic passengers by 2030," the paper said. ICAO, which seeks to use consensus to set standards on everything from runways to seat belts, was created after the United States invited more than 50 allies to agree in 1944 to a common air navigation system.

Philippines records over 2,300 leptospirosis cases since start of rainy season
Over 2,000 leptospirosis cases have been reported in the Philippines, according to the country's Department of Health (DOH). According to the DOH recorded a total of 2,396 leptospirosis cases nationwide from June 8 to August 7. Health officials in the country have earlier warned of a possible surge in infections after persistent heavy rains caused by the southwest monsoon and a series of tropical cyclones in recent weeks. Leptospirosis is an infection that can be transmitted to humans through floodwaters contaminated with the urine of infected animals, particularly rats. It can become life-threatening if left untreated. In response to the rising cases, 19 DOH hospitals in Metro Manila have set up dedicated 'fast lanes' to speed up diagnosis and treatment. These facilities include major hospitals in Manila, Caloocan, Las Piñas, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Pasig, Quezon City, and Valenzuela. In an advisory on social media, the DOH said the following hospitals had set up 'fast lanes' for quicker treatment of leptospirosis: Manila Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital Philippine Orthopedic Centre San Lazaro Hospital Tondo Medical Centre Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Centre Caloocan City Dr Jose N. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital and Sanitarium Las Piñas City Las Piñas General Hospital and Satellite Trauma Centre Malabon City San Lorenzo Ruiz General Hospital Mandaluyong City National Centre for Mental Health Marikina City Amang Rodriguez Memorial Medical Centre Muntinlupa City Research Institute for Tropical Medicine Pasig City Rizal Medical Centre Quezon City East Avenue Medical Centre Quirino Memorial Medical Centre National Children's Hospital Lung Centre of the Philippines National Kidney and Transplant Institute Philippine Children's Medical Centre Valenzuela City Valenzuela Medical Centre The DOH emphasised that these fast lanes allow medical staff to quickly assess patients, determine hospitalisation needs, and prescribe appropriate treatment such as doxycycline — an antibiotic effective against leptospirosis. Last week alone, 569 new cases were recorded amid three consecutive tropical cyclones that hit the country in late July. The agency urged those who have been exposed to floodwaters or mud to seek immediate medical attention, especially if they experience symptoms such as fever, chills, muscle pain, or red eyes.
