Le Plan stratégique national de plaidoyer en matière de lutte contre le paludisme (PSNPP) 2018-2023 servira à harmoniser la programmation des actions de plaidoyer et à garantir que les interventions de plaidoyer sont alignées sur les priorités du Plan stratégique national de lutte contre le p...aludisme (PSNP) 2016-2020. Il va guider
les professionnels du changement social et comportemental et de la communication en santé, et les autres parties prenantes concernées à concevoir, mettre en œuvre, surveiller et évaluer les interventions de plaidoyer pour s’assurer qu’elles sont compatibles avec les politiques nationales et internationales actuelles. Ce guide, développé à travers un processus stratégique qui prend en compte les principes d’une stratégie efficace, est localisé, ciblé, prouvé, collaboratif, influent, redevable et pérenne.

WHO recommends replacing western blotting and line immunoassays with simpler tests in HIV testing services. These simpler tests include rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) that can be used at the point-of-care, and enzyme immunoassays (EIAs).
These tests get results to the client faster, produce accura...te results more often, cost less, can be performed by various cadres of health providers, and can thus facilitate greater access and uptake of HIV testing services among those who need it most.

Myocardial infarctions are generally clinically classified into ST elevation MI (STEMI) and non-ST elevation MI (NSTEMI), based on changes in ECG. When blood flow to a part of the heart stops or the heart is injured and fails to receive enough oxygen required for its adequate functioning the conditi...on is termed as STEMI or the ‘heart-attack’ in laymen language. Patients with elevated cardiac troponin levels but negative CK-MB who were formerly diagnosed with unstable angina or minor myocardial injury are now reclassified as non-ST-segment elevation Myocardial Infarction (non-STEMI) even in the absence of diagnostic changes.
