In this review, the editors will investigate the impact of eight WASH interventions in preventing (reducing the risk of) and controlling outbreaks in LMIC, with particular focus on three diseases of current concern to the response community – cholera, Ebola, and Hepatitis E. Additionally, we will ...explore economic outcomes related to WASH interventions within an outbreak

While the first cases were imported, local transmission has led to a rapid increase in the number of cases. As of 21 April 2020, more than 3,400 cases and 58 deaths had been confirmed. On 15 March, President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a n...ational state of disaster, and the government has since taken several measures to curb the spread of the virus, including closing borders, implementing strict social distancing measures and a 35-day nation-wide lockdown. These measures, along with the global economic shock caused by the pandemic, are expected to generate rising needs requiring an immediate and urgent response. Although South Africa is considered an upper-middle-income country, the amount of disparities—social, economic, and gender—make the country particularly vulnerable during this emergency.

Le document propose des actions concrètes : plaidoyer auprès des décideurs pour des budgets accrus, exonération des intrants antipaludiques, introduction du vaccin R21/Matrix-M, création de partenariats public-privé, implication des leaders communautaires et campagnes de sensibilisation via les médias. Il s’aligne sur la stratégie mondiale de l’OMS et promeut une approche multisectorielle, coordonnée par le Programme National de Lutte contre le Paludisme avec l’appui de partenaires comme l’USAID et Breakthrough ACTION.

The indicators in the compendium are all either part of existing indicators used i...n studies or by countries or have been adapted from existing indicators to address the intersection of gender and HIV. The indicators can be measured through existing data collection and information systems (e.g. routine program monitoring, surveys) in most country contexts, though some may require special studies or research.

infection prevention and control. It will support nurses on better action and also on communication towards
their patients and families.
