Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition National Guidelines
Compte tenu des lacunes en matière d'infrastructures et de ressources, il convient d'envisager de recourir à la technologie pour la gestion à distance des soins de santé dispensés aux patients pendant cette période. Comme on peut le constater, même les pays disposant d'infrastructures et de r...essources de soins de santé plus avancées ont eu du mal à traiter les patients atteints de COVID-19 ou non pendant cette pandémie.

This practical guide can be used to help countries monitor and analyse the impact of COVID-19 on essential health services to inform planning and decision-making. It provides practical recommendations on how to use key performance indicators to analyse changes in access to and deliv...ery of essential health services within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic; how to visualize and interpret these data; and how to use the findings to guide modifications for safe delivery of services and transitioning towards restoration and recovery. The guide focuses on existing indicators and data that are captured in routine reporting systems and how they can be used by national and subnational authorities to understand specific contexts, challenges and bottlenecks. This guide supports Maintaining essential health services: operational guidance for the COVID-19 context, which provides an integrated framework to guide countries in their efforts to reorganize, adapt and maintain safe delivery of high-priority essential health services within the context of the pandemic.

Este documento de orientação para elaboração de um plano nacional de operacionalização e vacinação (NDVP) apresenta um esquema que auxilia os países a: desenvolver e atualizar o respectivo NDVP para a introdução de vacinas contra a COVID-19; elaborar estratégias para a operacionalizaçã...o e o monitoramento da(s) vacina(s) contra a COVID-19 no país; garantir que o plano e o financiamento relacionado estejam bem alinhados a outros planos nacionais de suporte à recuperação e resposta à COVID-19, e que a implementação esteja totalmente integrada nos mecanismos nacionais de governança.Este documento de orientação baseia-se em documentos de orientação já existentes sobre a introdução de novas vacinas, elaborados anteriormente pela OMS mediante consulta com especialistas no assunto, e é embasado por materiais recentes sobre vacinas contra a COVID-19, endossados pelo SAGE OMS

Guideline for the development of a national plan for the operationalization of vaccination against COVID-19
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is described as a situation when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites
change over time and no longer respond to medicines, making infections harder or impossible to treat,
and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death.1 AMR in recent years has... become
a global priority in public health due to its widespread consequences and increasing occurrence from
time to time. AMR has a formidable impact where the existing antibiotics and other antimicrobial
medicines become ineffective, and infections become increasingly difficult or impossible to treat.

The Global Task Force on Cholera Control (GTFCC) launched Ending Cholera: A Global
Roadmap to 2030 (Global Roadmap) (1), a strategy that aims to reduce global cholera
deaths by 90% and eliminate the disease in at least 20 countries by 2030. It is
organized according to three main axes:
• E...nsuring early detection and response to contain outbreaks; (2)
• Adopting a multisectoral approach to prevent and control cholera in hotspots; and
• Establishing an effective coordination mechanism for technical support, resource
mobilization and partnership at local and global levels.

Au total, 18 laboratoires de 13 pays ont participé aux quatre cycles d'AQE : 10 laboratoires de huit pays africains endémiques, dont quatre ont participé aux quatre cycles et trois à trois cycles. Les résultats globaux ont montré que la performance médiane de ces laboratoires s'est amélioré...e au cours des quatre cycles. Cependant, la proportion de laboratoires rapportant des cas faussement positifs reste élevée et indique un problème de spécificité probablement dû à une contamination. La proportion de laboratoires rapportant à la fois des résultats faussement positifs et faussement négatifs soulève la question de la qualité des données rapportées par l'OMS en Afrique ainsi que des résultats des études menées dans ces différents laboratoires dans divers pays.

COUNTDOWN Nigeria has applied a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach to improve equity of Mass Administration of Medicines (MAM) and inform Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) policy through an enhanced community engagement strategy. A situational analysis conducted i...n 2016 identified community engagement as a
bottleneck to achieving equitable coverage of MAM within different and emerging contexts (border, migrant, rural and urban) of Nigeria, related to programmatic, social, political and environmental changes over time See: (Dean et al., 2019), (Oluwole et al., 2019) and (Adekeye et al., 2019)

Diets are changing everywhere, and the burden of disease associated with unhealthy diets is a worldwide concern. Measurement and monitoring of diets across countries and population groups is critical. However, there are no harmonized metrics for tracking how the healthfulness of diets around the wor...ld is evolving.
This report assesses the validity, usefulness and fitness for purpose of existing healthy diet metrics as global and national monitoring indicators, presents a comparative assessment of selected healthy diet metrics and discusses priorities and opportunities to improve diet monitoring. This report is an important first step of the Healthy Diets Monitoring Initiative to respond to the need for developing healthy diets metrics for assessing and monitoring diets at national and global level.
