This is why the Pentagon issued a directive at the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom forbidding news coverage of "deceased military personnel returning to or departing from" air bases.
In March 2003, the Pentagon issued a directive it said was established in November 2000, saying, "There will no be arrival ceremonies of, or media coverage of, deceased military personnel returning to or departing from" air bases.
Updated in 2003, the policy states, "There will be no arrival ceremonies for, or media coverage of, deceased military personnel returning or departing from Ramstein Air Base or Dover Air Force Base".
But several developing countries are faced with scarce and inadequate coverage of skilled health personnel.
Indonesia has better coverage of births by skilled personnel (79.4%) and contraceptive use (61.4%), but low antenatal care coverage (at least 4 visits=55.4%) and a very high adolescent birth rate (52.3%).
Health service delivery barriers to earlier treatment initiation in LMIS include lack of cost coverage for curative-directed treatments; shortage of personnel; fragmented or delayed hand-offs between multi-disciplinary team members such as general providers, pathologists, oncologists, surgeons; constraints in access to surgical supplies; and medication shortages [ 24].
Mr Abbott also criticised the ABC's coverage of allegations that Australian navy personnel had mistreated asylum seekers.
Overall, as expected, greater national supply of doctors, nurses and midwives is found to be strongly and positively correlated with improved coverage of deliveries by skilled health personnel across the 68 Countdown countries (correlation coefficient of 0.42) (see Figure 2).
Relatively high coverage of antenatal care enables health care personnel to reinforce communication across visits [ 2].
They are also responsible for training of personnel involved in the program and for setting up interventions to increase the programme coverage.
