Saude mental relacoes raciais e Covid 19
La crisis sanitaria y socioeconómica desencadenada por la pandemia del COVID-19 ha golpeado duramente a los países de América Latina y ha dejado al descubierto las profundas desigualdades sobre las que numerosos informes internacionales, regionales y nacionales han alertado en las últimas décad...as. En este contexto, la histórica exclusión y marginación política y económica de los más de 800 pueblos indígenas de la región se ha acentuado como consecuencia de las insuficientes respuestas estatales a la crisis, que no han considerado adecuadamente los derechos colectivos de estos pueblos y han tenido escasa relevancia cultural.
Este documento ofrece un panorama de la situación de los pueblos indígenas de la región ante la pandemia del COVID-19. Analiza tanto las respuestas del Estado como las de los propios pueblos indígenas ante la crisis, además de ofrecer un conjunto de recomendaciones para rectificar el olvido de estos pueblos en la gestión de la pandemia, centrándose en sus derechos colectivos.

These guidelines are based on the 3rd Edition of the WHO Guidelines (Published 2015) World Health Organization’s Guidelines for the treatment of malaria. Additional literature surveys have been undertaken. Factors that were considered in the choice of therapeutic options included effectiveness, sa...fety, and impact on malaria transmission and on the emergence and spread of antimalarial drug resistance. On-going surveillance is critical given the spread of artemisinin resistance in Southeast Asia, although not yet confirmed anywhere in Africa. The guidelines on the treatment of malaria in South Africa aim to facilitate effective, appropriate and timeous treatment of malaria, thereby reducing the burden of this disease in our communities. This is essential to further reduce the malaria case fatality rates currently recorded in South Africa, to decrease malaria transmission and to limit resistance to antimalarial drugs.
