A concept (leaflet)
This document outlines the concept of a stimulus package for rabies elimination. The aim of a stimulus package is to catalyse rabies control by starting community projects, building local capacity and using success to generate momentum for growth. Governments could apply for... a package, which would provide technical and material support to run small, successful rabies control projects. These in turn build evidence for the feasibility of larger scale elimination, generate enthusiasm foaction and promote investment for sustainability and up scaling. Data reporting in return for the packages would allow the documentation of successes and lessons learnt to benefit global elimination efforts more broadly.

В методических рекомендациях представлены особенности стигматизации больных эпилепсией различными группами, играющими важную роль в их адаптации в социуме. Испо...льзованы клинико-психопатологический, социологический (метод интервью) и статистический методы. За основу социологического метода был взят опросник «Психическое здоровье в общественном сознании», разработанный В.С. Ястребовым и соавт. (2001). У больных эпилепсией выделены четыре типа внутренней картины болезни, формирующие индивидуальные копинг-механизмы.

Последние десятилетия в психиатрии оказались революционными. Современные лекарства и реабилитационные программы дали возможность большинству лиц с психическим... расстройствами вести привычный образ жизни. Казалось бы, ушли в прошлое времена, когда клеймо «сумасшедший» отражало тяжелое состояние больного и драматизм его существования: многолетнее содержание в больнице, мучительные способы лечения, страх и агрессия окружающих. Однако именно сейчас психиатрический диагноз для многих является проблемой, нередко более актуальной, чем само заболевание.

Accepting and Supporting Ebola Survivors, Orphans And Families Of Ebola Patients In The Community A Toolkit For Social Mobilizers And Communicators
In April 2018, Refugees International (RI) conducted a mission to Bangladesh, to research the GBV (gender-based violence) response for Rohingya women and girls. RI found that the entire humanitarian system is struggling under tremendous constraints in Bangladesh, and protection and health actors do ...deliver lifesaving services to survivors in an incredibly challenging environment. This report, however, focuses on key gaps and challenges in GBV programming, as communicated by practitioners deployed to Bangladesh at various stages of the emergency, by local organizations, and by the affected women and girls themselves.
In the analyses and recommendations provided in this report, RI draws in part from the framework of the international initiative to safeguard women and girls in emergencies — the Call to Action on Protection from Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies — and urges the donors and humanitarian organizations that are Call to Action partners to implement it more effectively and with urgency during this emergency.
