Out of 400 questionnaires distributed to the participants, 389 were returned with data acceptable for analysis. Ages of the participants ranged from 18 to 75 years (Mean=43 + 11.6). Out of the 272 (69.9%) participants who conceded that th...ey had used medicinal herbs at least once, 30 (7.7%) participants used medicinal herbs frequently while 242 (62.2 %) rarely used the herbs. At least 20 plant species belonging to 16 families were reportedly used by the participants. Asteraceae was the most common plant family reportedly used by the participants. Allium sativum and Dicoma anomala, reportedly used by 21.0% and 14.3% respectively, were the most commonly used medicinal herbs in this population. In addition, boosting the immune system and treating gastrointestinal ailments, apparently cited by 32% and 28% participants respectively, were the most commonly reported reasons for using medicinal herbs.

The survey centering on reasons behind community resistance was conducted in Butembo in November during a time of Ebola transmission. A researcher from Catholic University of Graben in Butembo and collaborators at the University o...f Alberta in Edmonton published their findings on Sep 26 in PLOS One.
To spark focus group discussions, the researchers used an 18-item questionnaire based on similar ones used during West Africa's outbreak in Guinea, where community resistance and episodes of violence also complicated the outbreak response.
Participants were a convenience sample of 670 adults from the region who were recruited by medical students at Catholic University of Graben. Those surveyed included clinicians, community members, and displaced persons.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) both in human and veterinary medicine has reached alarming levels in
most parts of the world and has now been recognized as a significant emerging threat to global public
health and food security. In June 2015, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nati...ons
(FAO) passed a resolution on AMR at its governing
Conference. This followed the adoption of counterpart
resolutions on AMR by The World Organisation
for Animal Health (OIE) and the World Health Organization
(WHO) in May 20152, and marked the
beginning of a joint effort by the three organizations
to combat AMR globally.

"Le Manuel de l’OMS pour la gestion de l’aspect santé publique des accidents chimiques a pour objet de passer en revue l’ensemble des principes et des rôles qui sont ceux de la santé publique dans la gestion des accidents et des situations d’urgence d’origine chimique. Tout en apportant... ce type d’information pour chaque phase du cycle de gestion des situations d’urgence, notamment en ce qui concerne la prévention, les plans d’urgence, la préparation, la détection et l’alerte, l’intervention et le rétablissement de la situation, les auteurs admettent que la gestion des accidents et des situations d’urgence de nature chimique nécessite une approche pluridisciplinaire et plurisectorielle et que le secteur de la santé est susceptible de jouer un rôle complémentaire influent, voire le rôle de chef de file, aux différents stades du processus de gestion. Le manuel s’adresse notamment aux professionnels de la santé publique et de la protection de l’environnement ainsi qu’à tous ceux qui sont partie prenante à la gestion des accidents de nature chimique."
