They were developed taking into consideration services provided at different levels within the health system and resources available. These guideline...s are intended to standardize care at both tertiary and secondary levels of service delivery across different socio economic stratifications of our society.

Latin America and the Caribbean, the past decade has been marked by a significant increase in
information on stigma toward mental illness, but these findings have yet to be applied to mental health service...s in Latin America. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of studies relating to stigma toward mental illness in Latin America and the Caribbean. The authors specifically considered differences in this region as compared with manifestations reported in Western European countries

It  was originally applied in the health-care setting as a tool for  optimizing  antimicrobial  use,  termed  “antimicrobial  stewardship” (AMS). Stewardship has since be...en applied in  the  context  of  governance  of  the  health  sector  as  a  whole, taking responsibility for the health and well-being of the population and guiding health systems at the national and global level.

Parallèlement, notre capacité de pré...paration et de riposte d’urgence est mise à rude épreuve par la flambée actuelle de COVID-19 et les déplacements massifs de population dus aux conflits. Les infirmières et les infirmiers assurent des soins indispensables dans chacune de ces circonstances. Aujourd’hui plus que jamais, le monde a besoin qu’ils mettent pleinement à profit leurs qualifications et leur formation.

Measurement and monitoring of diets across countries and population groups is critical. However, there are no harmonized metrics for tracking how the healthfulness of diets around the wor...ld is evolving.
This report assesses the validity, usefulness and fitness for purpose of existing healthy diet metrics as global and national monitoring indicators, presents a comparative assessment of selected healthy diet metrics and discusses priorities and opportunities to improve diet monitoring. This report is an important first step of the Healthy Diets Monitoring Initiative to respond to the need for developing healthy diets metrics for assessing and monitoring diets at national and global level.

They will be part of a team, along with community mental health workers, that provides a modified Critical Time Intervention to individuals with severe psychiatric disorders living in the community. This article reviewed the background of this increasingly widespread development, and discussed its merits, as well as potential obstacles within local contexts.
