Las violencias por motivos de género atraviesan a mujeres, LGBTI+, niñeces y adolescencias con gran impacto en múltiples dimensiones de la vida y el sistema de salud tiene un rol fundamental en su detección temprana, en la evaluación del riesgo, en la prevención y la atención integral.Por... eso, desde el Ministerio de Salud de la Nación y la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS/OMS) presentamos el Manual Clínico “Atención integral de la salud ante situaciones de violencias por motivos de género. Herramientas para equipos de salud”, adaptado técnica y culturalmente a nuestro país a partir de la versión original de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). El presente manual está dirigido a todas las personas que integran equipos de salud interdisciplinarios e intersaberes del sistema sanitario (formadas en Medicina, Psicología, Enfermería, Trabajo Social, asesoramiento legal, agentes sanitarios, administración, promotoras y promotores de la salud, etc.) en especial a quienes trabajan en el primer nivel de atención. Su propósito es brindarles herramientas para la atención integral a mujeres, LGBTI+» y niñas, niños, niñes y adolescentes (en adelante, NyA) que atraviesan o han atravesado situaciones de violencias por motivos de género (en adelante, VMG).

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic exacerbated pre-existing inequalities in the treatment and care of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). This report examines the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on access to NCD medicines, and the policies and strategies implemented by countries and health sys...tems to anticipate and mitigate stresses across NCD medicine supply chains. The full range of upstream and downstream impacts are investigated, including: manufacturing; procurement, importation and last mile delivery; patient-level effects through affordability and availability; and the effects on NCD medicine availability by category of disease. The report culminates in recommended actions and interventions for key stakeholders in the NCD pharmaceutical supply chain, including governments, regulatory authorities, manufacturers and the private sector; as well as directions for future research for improving access and supply chain access resilience.

Sudan recorded the first COVID-19 case on 13 March 2020 and, at the beginning of July, the Federal Ministry of Health had confirmed that nearly 10,000 people had contracted the virus, including over 600 who died from the disease across the country. Although more than 70 per cent of the confirmed cas...es are in the Khartoum area, COVID-19 has spread throughout the country, with the highest numbers recorded in the central and eastern states. With extremely low testing capacity — around 800 samples per day, the lowest in the region — the official figures of confirmed cases likely underestimate the extent of the pandemic and the actual situation is unknown.

Key Messages and Recommendations.
The Report, Todos y todas sin excepción, produced by the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report and the Regional Bureau for Education in Latin America and the Caribbean (OREALC /UNESCO Santiago), along with the Laboratory of Education, Research and Innovation in... Latin America and the Caribbean (SUMMA) shows that, prior to the pandemic, in 21 countries, children from the richest households were five times as likely as the poorest to complete upper secondary school.
Learning outcomes were low before COVID-19. Only half of 15-year-olds achieved minimum proficiency in reading. In Guatemala and Panama, barely 10 disadvantaged 15-year-old students master basic mathematics skills for every 100 of their better-off peers. Indigenous people and Afro-descendants also have lower attainment and literacy rates.
The report includes a set of key recommendations for the next decade, which will help countries achieve the objectives of the 2030 Agenda and calls for schools to be more inclusive, which many still are not.

Es un problema importante de salud pública y
una violación de los derechos humanos fundamentales, incluido el derecho a la vida, el derecho a la protección contra todas las formas de violencia y el derecho al goce del grado más alto posible de salud. El maltrato infantil puede tener consecuencias negativas graves y, a menudo, de por vida para la salud mental y física, la salud sexual y reproductiva, el desempeño
