Poisoning from carbon monoxide, suicides, decrease in the number of loans, and mismatch in the food standards in schools are the leading topics of today's press.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the growth of those dying from carbon monoxide in private homes, where gas stoves are installed. In 2016, the Department of Toxicology of the Medical Clinical Center received 455 calls due to poisoning from carbon monoxide, and in 2017 the number of calls fell to 190. The author believes it is possible to reduce this figure to zero.
The newspaper Novoye Vremya published an article entitled Suicide Problem Alarming. The author restores the chronology of suicides in 2017. While the problem of overdue loans is not solved, the number of people who commit suicide because of the inability to repay loans will grow, the author believes. More than once, students committed suicide because of the inability to pay for their studies. That is, the majority of debtor and student suicides could be avoided if the relevant authorities were tolerant of their fellow citizens, who for one reason or another became insolvent.
The website Azadliq.info writes that in the absence of loans, the economy stops. One of the reasons for the narrowing of the economy is a significant decrease in the credit resources of commercial banks. According to the author, there are two reasons: before the crisis, almost total distribution of loans and a sharp decline in the issuance of loans now as a result of the conservative banking system.
The newspaper Echo published an article titled Horrors of School Buffets and Canteens in Azerbaijan. A few years ago the State Committee for Standardization prepared a standard of food for school buffets, but it remains on paper.
The Union of Free Consumers of Azerbaijan conducted monitoring in schools, and not only in Baku, but also in the regions of Azerbaijan, which showed that 80% of meals in school canteens do not meet standards. There you can see carbonated drinks, sausages, and various kinds of fast food.
Because of such nutrition, children are obese and do not receive the necessary vitamins, which affects their health. 70% of schoolchildren in general cannot get into the buffet and buy lunch, and therefore remain hungry. -0----
