Accelerating towards a leprosy-free world
2015-16 Demographic and Health Survey and Malaria Indicator Survey
We live in a world in which 28 million children have been driven from their
homes as a result of conflict, persecution and insecurity¹. If current trends
continue, more than 63 million children could be forced to flee by 2025², of
which over 25 million will cross borders and become refugees. At... least
300,000 of these child refugees will end up alone, separated from their
families³. Without a step-change in the provision of education for refugee
children, at least 12 million of them will be out of school by 2025⁴.

Fortbildung | VNR 2760602016064370005 | Hessisches Ärzteblatt 5/2016 | Die weltweit zu beobachtende Flucht von Menschen vor Krieg, Gewalt, Verfolgung und Hunger stellt auch für die medizinischen Versorgungssysteme in Deutschland eine große Herausforderung dar. Neben der Versorgung somatischer Kra...nkheiten kommt der Diagnostik und Therapie psychischer Erkrankungen eine hohe Bedeutung zu. In einer in einer bayrischen zentralen Aufnahmeeinrichtung für Flüchtlinge durchgeführten Studie wurden bei 63,6 Prozent der Flüchtlinge eine oder mehrere psychiatrische Diagnosen gestellt, wobei die Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung (PTBS) mit 32,2 Prozent am häufigsten vorkam. Die Angaben zur Prävalenz der PTBS in weniger belasteten Stichproben haben eine weite Bandbreite, die durch unterschiedliche Studiendesigns und durch unterschiedliche diagnostische Kriterien in der ICD 10 und dem DSM 5 bedingt sind. In den USA findet sich in der Allgemeinbevölkerung eine hochgerechnete Lebenszeitprävalenzrate von etwa 8 Prozent. In Europa liegen die Schätzungen mit 0,5–1 Prozent deutlich niedriger. Für Deutschland werden 1-Monatsprävalenzraten von 1–3 Prozent berichtet.
