A policy brief on the organization of prison health
Yemen’s war has become one of the world’s worst humanitarian catastrophes . In September 2014, the Ansarallah (Houthi) movement allied with former President Ali Abdullah Saleh to seize control over the capital city Sana’a and renegotiate Yemen’s fragile power-sharing agreement, and then seve...ral months later pursued President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi south to Aden . In March 2015, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates launched a military intervention, ostensibly to restore Hadi to power . More than 1,000 days later, that war has settled into a brutal stalemate . Officially, the Houthis remain in control of Sana’a and much of the north, while the Saudi-UAE coalition controls much of the south . A comprehensive Saudi-UAE blockade and air campaign has caused incipient famine conditions, the spread of communicable diseases such as cholera and diphtheria, and a wave of internal displacement .

Les conséquences néfastes de la mauvaise gestion et les faits de corruption dans le domaine de la
santé ont amené l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS) à mettre en place depuis 2004, un
programme de bonne gouvernance qui vise à améliorer les mesures de transparence dans
l’exercice... des fonctions du secteur pharmaceutique.
Notre pays, le Bénin, ayant souscrit à ce programme en 2007, l’OMS a commis des experts qui ont
procédé à l’évaluation des fonctions essentielles du secteur pharmaceutique public béninois.
De l’analyse des résultats de cette évaluation réalisée conformément aux normes admises par
l’OMS en la matière, il ressort qu’en République du Bénin, la gestion des produits
pharmaceutiques dans le secteur public présente une vulnérabilité modérée à la corruption.
Sur les six (06) fonctions ayant fait l’objet de l’évaluation, seule celle liée au contrôle de la
promotion des médicaments présente une forte vulnérabilité à la corruption en raison de la faible
note de 3,428 sur 10 dont elle a été créditée.

This handbook was designed primarily as a tool for district clinical specialist teams (DCSTs), and for the provincial specialists who will guide and support their work. This handbook will also be useful to managers of health facilities, heads of clinical units and nurses, doctors and allied health w...orkers at the coalface of clinical care. This handbook will be of interest to district managers and other members of the district management team who are dedicated to developing the capacity of the district health system to respond
effectively to the health needs of the population they serve. It will help them understand the role of the DCSTs and the type of
activities they need to engage in to improve the quality of care

La résistance à un antimicrobien survient quand un micro-organisme (bactérie, virus, champignon ou parasite), devient résistant à un médicament antimicrobien vis-à-vis duquel il était auparavant sensible . Cette résistance aux antimicrobiens (RAM), concerne un large ...ventail d’agents infectieux, et de nombreux secteurs d’activités (santé humaine et animale, agro-industrie, élevage, environnement). Elle représente une menace croissante pour la santé publique et aucun pays n’est épargné. Il est particulièrement alarmant de constater la propagation rapide, dans le monde entier, des bactéries multirésistantes provoquant des infections courantes qui ne sont pas sensibles aux traitements antibiotiques habituellement utilisés, ainsi que des infections en particulier hospitalières, résistantes aux traitements antibiotiques de dernier recours . Le problème se pose actuellement en termes de développement durable : il dépasse largement le cadre de la santé humaine et interpelle le monde entier

Analysis in French on World and 9 other countries about Agriculture, Climate Change and Environment, Drought and more;
published on 13 Oct 2022 by Concern and WHH
This is the seventeenth annual publication of the Global Hunger Index (GHI), a report jointly published by Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe.
The 2022 Global Hunger Index (GHI) brings us face to face with a grim reality. The toxic cocktail of conflict, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemi...c had already left millions exposed to food price shocks and vulnerable to further crises. Now the conflict in Ukraine—with its knock-on effects on global supplies of and prices for food, fertilizer, and fuel—is turning a crisis into a catastrophe. But the speed and severity of the global food crisis reflects the fact that millions of people were already living on the precarious edge of hunger—a legacy of past failures to build more just, sustainable, and resilient food systems. This year’s report therefore focuses on food systems transformation and local governance.
According to the 2022 GHI, Hunger is at alarming levels in 5 countries—Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Yemen— and is provisionally considered *alarming *in 4 additional countries— Burundi, Somalia, South Sudan, and Syria. In a further 35 countries, hunger is considered serious, based on 2022 GHI scores and provisional designations.

To maintain a structured and well-organized implementation plan it is important to have a lead agency or sector. The ministry of health or a similar authority in government will be critical in facilitating development and implementation of the multisectoral action plan.
