The National Strategic Plan 2009-2012 on HIV and AIDS (NSP) is the result of more than a year of preparatory work, starting with the development of Rwanda's Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS) 2008-2012, which sets out the overarching goals for the response to HIV and AIDS as... well as reaffirming Rwanda's commitment to a multi-sector response. In addition, a wide range of analyses carried out in 2007 and 2008 have helped to ensure that the NSP is based on the most up to date understanding of the epidemic, that the strategies are based on evidence of what works in Rwanda and elsewhere, and that the strengths and weaknesses of the systems and mechanisms for responding to HIV and AIDS are addressed through the NSP.

Во Всемирном докладе о наркотиках содержится комплексная информация по положению в области незаконных наркотиков. В нем представлены подробные оценки и тенденци..., относящиеся к производству, незаконному обороту и потреблению на рынках опиума/героина, коки/кокаина, каннабиса и стимуляторов амфетаминового ряда. Масштабы проблемы наркотиков удается ограничивать, но существуют признаки того, что стабилизация, достигнутая за последние несколько лет, может подвергаться риску. Среди этих признаков – расширение культивирования в 2007 году опийного мака и коки, некоторый прирост потребления в развивающихся странах и в определенной степени развитие новых схем незаконного оборота. Также отмечалось обнадеживающее сокращение некоторых из основных потребительских рынков.

Traditional medicine, including the knowledge, skills and practices of holistic health care, exists in all cultures. It is based on indigenous theories, beliefs and experiences and is widely accepted for its role in health maintenance and the treatment of disease.Medicinal plants are the main ingred...ients of local medicines, but rapid urbanization is leading to the loss of many important plants and knowledge of their use. To help preserve this knowledge and recognize the importance of medicinal plants to health care systems, the WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific has published a series of books on Medicinal Plants in China, the Republic of Korea, Viet Nam and the South Pacific. Medicinal Plants in Papua New Guinea is the fifth in this series. This book covers only a small proportion of the immense knowledge on traditional medicine, the plant species from which they are derived, the diseases they can treat and the parts of the plants to be used. The diverse cultures, languages and traditional practices of Papua New Guinea made this a particularly challenging project. But we believe the information and accompanying references can provide useful information for scientists, doctors and other users.
