DHS Comparative Reports No. 42
This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of the literature on private health aid and official health assistance between 2000 and 2022. It provides an overview of the sites and themes in the literature pertaining to development assistance in health, and collates the significant policy recommendati...ons presented therein. Several crucial findings emerge from the bibliometric analysis: 44.2 percent of the 489 papers/articles assessed focused on lower-middle-income countries, while 37.7 percent focused on low-income countries. However, authors affiliated with institutes and organisations from lower-middle- and low-income countries contributed merely 15.5 percent and 11.8 percent, respectively, of the papers assessed. Most (72.7 percent) were written by authors from highmiddle-
and high-income countries. Additionally, despite non-governmental
organisations, philanthropies, and private businesses constituting about 20 percent of development assistance donors, a mere 4 percent of all papers focused on these entities.

El Salvador Humanitarian Response Plan - August 2021 to December 2022

Patient-centred care (PCC) is a pillar of quality health services, where decision-making power is shared between the clinician and the patient. Although, this approach could be adopted with easiness in high income settings or in countries with unified health systems, in settings such as Peru, where ...universal access and other structural problems remain a challenge, the practice of PCC is not a priority. In Peru, research on PCC has been conducted for almost two decades, but this has not generated a need for development in academia, decision makers, health personnel or patients. Here, we give an overview of the road that PCC research has taken in Peru and the challenges that remain to translate it into clinical practice.

Die Europäische Kommission gegen Rassismus und Intoleranz (ECRI) wurde vom Europarat ins Leben gerufen. Sie ist ein unabhängiges Gremium, das über die Einhaltung der Menschenrechte wacht, wenn es um die Bekämpfung von Rassismus, Diskriminierung (aufgrund von „Rasse", ethnischer/nationaler Herk...unft, Hautfarbe, Staatsangehörigkeit, Religion, Sprache, sexüller Orientierung und Geschlechtsidentität), Fremdenfeindlichkeit, Antisemitismus und Intoleranz geht. Die Mitglieder der Kommission sind unabhängig und unparteiisch. Sie werden aufgrund ihrer moralischen Autorität und ihres anerkannten Sachverstands in Fragen von Rassismus, Fremdenfeindlichkeit, Antisemitismus und Intoleranz ernannt. Im Rahmen ihres satzungsmässigen Auftragserstellt ECRI für jedes Land Länderberichte, in denen die Situation in Bezug auf Rassismus und Intoleranz in jedem Mitgliedstaat des Europarates analysiert und Vorschläge zur Loesung der aufgezeigten Probleme unterbreitet werden.

The overall threat posed by Omicron largely depends on four key questions: (i) how transmissible the variant is; (ii) how well vaccines and prior infection protect against infection, transmission, clinical disease and death; (iii) how virulent the variant is compared to other varian...ts; and (iv) how populations understand these dynamics, perceive risk and follow control measures, including public health and social measures (PHSM).

An IPCC special report on climate change, desertification, land degradation, sustainable land management, food security, and greenhouse gas fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems
As more frequent droughts and floods threaten the global food supply, humans are increasing their demands on water and land,... The New York Times reports.
Data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report:
• 500 million people are living in areas that are becoming desert.
• Soil is depleted at 10X-100X the rate it’s being formed.
• More than 10% of the global population is undernourished.
Major threats include the risk of “multi-breadbasket failure”—simultaneous food crises on several continents—and migration triggered by food shortages.
Good News/Bad News: Catastrophe can be avoided, but it would require massive changes to agriculture, food systems and behavior.
A Key Action: Eat less meat. Cattle production is driving deforestation, consuming huge amounts of water, generating methane and causing other impacts, notes Nature.
