Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention for Women and their Babies is intended for use by networks of women living with HIV, women’s groups, peer educators and others wishing to help guide women living with HIV t...hrough the decisions they will need to take before, during and after their pregnancy. It is not intended as a substitute for going to a health facility and seeking information from a healthcare worker.
The facilitator’s manual and flipchart are intended to be used by leaders of support groups, peer educators or lay counsellors to facilitate small groups or community sessions with women living with HIV. Together, they provide accurate and comprehensive information to enable pregnant women and mothers living with HIV to know their rights and make informed decisions about their health, and the health of their baby.

The Guidelines describe what is necessary ...(that is, recommendations) to effectively improve infection prevention and control (IPC). This practical manual outlines how to do this (that is, how to implement the Guidelines). It focuses on the development of a sustainable action plan informed by the local context to put into operation the Guideline recommendation

WHO recommends the use of multimodal improvement strategies to implement IPC interventions. These include each item of standard and transm...ission-based precautions according to national guidelines or standard operating procedures and under the coordination of the national IPC focal point (or team, if existing). This publication consists of three focused improvement tools, called “aide-memoires”, which focus on 1) respiratory and hand hygiene, 2) personal protective equipment, and 3) environmental cleaning, waste and linen management, all elements of standard, droplet/contact and airborne precautions.

Il décrit les signe...s cliniques du paludisme, les méthodes de diagnostic (tests rapides et microscopie), et détaille les traitements recommandés selon l’espèce de Plasmodium et la gravité de l’infection. Il aborde également les cas particuliers, comme les femmes enceintes et les enfants, ainsi que la prévention à travers les moustiquaires, les répulsifs et la chimioprophylaxie. Enfin, il donne des consignes pour les voyageurs de l’ONU, y compris la conduite à tenir en cas de fièvre après un retour de zone endémique.
