Ce rapport présente une analyse de l'OMS sur les pénuries et le manque de disponibilité des antibiotiques hors brevet en France prenant en compte l'approche Une seule santé. Le rapport est organisé en deux sections : santé animale et santé humaine.
Le rapport vise à donner un éclairage sur... les facteurs qui conduisent aux pénuries et au manque de disponibilité des antibiotiques en France. Sur la base de l'analyse effectuée et des causes profondes décrites, des contre-mesures possibles ont été identifiées dans les secteurs humain et vétérinaire. Ces contre-mesures sont destinées à être priorisées et mises en œuvre par les autorités françaises avec le soutien de l'OMS.

The aim of this guidance is to enhance the capacity of health care facilities to protect and improve the health of their target communities in an unstable and changing climate; and to empower health care facilities to be environmentally sustainable, by optimizing the use of resources and minimizing ...the release of waste into the environment.

The recently published World Health Organization (WHO) Strengthening infection prevention and control in primary care document collates existing standards, measurement and implementation approaches, and resources for infection prevention and control (IPC) in primary care.

This toolkit brings together in one place a number of these tools and resources from WHO and other organizations, with a focus on those most relevant to primary care. These tools and resources have been compiled to support facility-level implementation in line with the recommended WHO IPC Hub and Task Force multimodal approach.

BMZ Papier 1
Gesundheit ist nicht nur Voraussetzung für ein selbstbestimmtes Leben, sondern auch essenziell für die gesellschaftliche und nachhaltige wirtschaftliche Entwicklung in unseren Partnerländern. Die gegenwärtige COVID-19 Pandemie zeigt, welche Gefahren von Infektionskrankheiten ausge...-hen. Der Erreger der Pandemie SARS-CoV-2 gibt auch einen Hinweis auf die Bedeutung zoono-tischer, also zwischen Tier und Mensch übertragbarer, Krankheiten. Es ist zu erwarten, dass diese Art von Erregern in der Zukunft noch häufiger auftreten wird. Eine wachsende Weltbevölkerung, Klimawandel, steigende Mobilität, Vordringen des Menschen in bisher unberührte Lebensräume, industrielle Landwirtschaft und Nutztierhaltung sind Faktoren, die das Risiko für das Entstehen bzw. für eine schnelle Ausbreitung von Krankheitserregern erhöhen
