Module appartenant à la série d’évaluations des capacités des services de santé dans le cadre de la pandémie de COVID-19: orientations provisoires, 12 mai 2021. L'outil d'évaluation de la continuité des services de santé essentiels : Facility Assessment Tool peut être utilisé par les pa...ys pour évaluer rapidement la capacité des établissements de santé à maintenir la prestation des services de santé essentiels pendant la pandémie de COVID-19. Il peut aider à alerter les autorités et les autres parties prenantes sur les points où la prestation et l'utilisation des services peuvent nécessiter des modifications et/ou des investissements. Cet outil d'évaluation couvre les aspects suivants des services de santé essentiels :
    le personnel de santé (effectifs, absences, infections au COVID-19, gestion du personnel de santé, formation et soutien) ;
    gestion financière et obstacles ;
    prestation et utilisation des services (fermetures d'établissements, changements dans la prestation des services, campagnes de communication communautaires, changements dans l'utilisation des services et stratégies de rattrapage) ;
    capacités en matière de prévention des infections (protocoles, mesures de sécurité, directives et disponibilité d'équipements de protection individuelle (EPI) pour le personnel) ;
    la disponibilité des thérapeutiques, des diagnostics et des fournitures, et la disponibilité des vaccins ; et
    la fourniture de services de soins primaires COVID-19.

                                                                The number of COVID-19 cases is on the rise again, with South Africa nearing half of all confirmed cases in the WHO African Region. Threats of new variants loom and low vaccination coverage raises questions on the future of the response to COVID-19. Prevention remains the key strategy in most sub-Sa...haran countries. Five National Centres (NCs) from the African Health Observatory Platform on Health Systems and Policies (AHOP), based in Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda and Senegal, reflect on lessons to be learnt from their containment responses in the initial phases. They construct timelines to highlight the policies and challenges associated with introducing a range of public health containment measures and
discuss the extent to which these measures continue to be valuable given the ever-changing nature of the pandemic.

Re-use and reprocessing of single use PPE must be a last-resort temporary measure that is impl...emented only until stocks are replenished (2).This remains an area of active research and further updates to this evidence base are anticipated.

Les mesures d'hygiène des mains et les procédures d'habillage-déshabillage pour l’utilisation de l’EPI, ainsi que les protocoles d'élimination et de gestion des déchets doivent être suivies. La diffusion d’information et la formation du personnel de santé et des responsables administratifs, ainsi que la signalétique, l’information et l’éducation des patients et de leurs proches sont tout aussi importants.

The Community needs, perceptions and demand: community assessment toolcan be used by countries to conduct a rapid pulse survey of community health needs and perceptio...ns around effective use of essential health services during the COVID-19 outbreak. The assessment helps to establish an early warning system on the need to implement coping strategies to continue to respond to communities’ health needs throughout the course of the pandemic. This assessment tool is informed by WHO and partner tools and guidance on community health needs, continuity of essential health services and readiness planning for COVID-19
