To understand the patterns of Rwanda’s achievements in health development, it is important to explore how Rwanda addresses the Social Determinants of Health (SDH) particularly those related to routine conditions in which people are born, live and work. It is in this particular context that a case ...study on Rwanda’s Performance in Addressing Social Determinants of Health was conducted by the Rwanda Ministry of Health, with technical and financial support from the World Health Organization (WHO).

Les maladies infectieuses comme le COVID-19 peuvent perturber l’environnement dans lequel les enfants grandissent et se développent. Les bouleversements qui affectent les familles, les relations avec les amis, les routines quotidiennes et l’ensemble de la communauté peuvent avoir des répercus...sions négatives sur le bien-être, le développement et la protection des enfants. En outre, les mesures appliquées pour prévenir et contrôler la propagation du COVID-19 peuvent exposer les enfants à des risques pour leur protection. Les mesures de quarantaine et d’isolement au domicile ainsi que dans des installations ou des zones spécifiques peuvent affecter de façon négative les enfants et leur famille.
L’objectif du présent document est d’aider les professionnels de la protection de l’enfance à mieux faire face aux risques dans ce domaine lors d’une pandémie de COVID-19. La première partie présente les risques potentiels pour la protection de l’enfance auxquels le COVID-19 peut exposer les enfants. La seconde partie décrit des options programmatiques conformes à l’édition 2019 des Standards minimum de protection de l’enfance dans l’action humanitaire (SMPE) et à la Note d’information : Protection des enfants lors d’épidémies de maladies infectieuses (en anglais).

Tackling COVID-19 misinformation. Ensuring communities have access to lifesaving public health information from trusted sources and are not misled by misinformation is essential to ending the COVID-19 pandemic.
In an effort to empower doctors and nurses – some of the most effective and trusted... messengers of public health information – to actively address COVID-19 misinformation and build vaccine confidence globally, the WHO welcomes this social media toolkit for healthcare practitioners, developed by the Government of the United Kingdom.
This toolkit aims to provide healthcare workers with the tools, skills and content needed to effectively share authentic and reliable information online. Centered around three core vaccine confidence messages, Vaccine Safety, Vaccine Development and Vaccine Reducing Risk of Sickness; this toolkit sets out three approaches: creating your own posts, posting the images and videos provided in the toolkit, or resharing vaccine information from trusted sources.

During the pandemic, Brazil has provided its citizens with support in the areas of long-term care and disability, the labor market, social assistance, education, and pensions. This report focuses on two social policy areas, health-care and family benefits (including labor policies), as these were th...e most crucial social policies implemented in Brazil during the Covid-19 pandemic in terms of the resources allocated and the magnitude of social impact. Brazil’s relatively generous social policies were uncoordinated with public health interventions, which contributed to poor compliance with these public health interventions. This suggests that social policy initiatives alone are insufficient in mitigating the social consequences of the pandemic. They need to be accompanied by and coordinated with public health measures, including regulations on testing, social distancing and mask wearing.
