This article identifies the three core defining characteristics of healing environments for children and young people who have been exposed to chronic adversity and trauma. A large body of evidence highlights the pervasive and devastating developmental impacts of such exposure but there is also emer...ging evidence about the elements of living and learning environments that foster recovery and resilience. The Three Pillars framework has been developed to inform and empower those who live with or work with these young people but who are not necessarily engaged in formal therapy.

Reduced healthy life expectancy due to the high burden of both mental ill health and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) is a major public health concern in the European Region. The links between mental disorders and major NCDs are well established.
In clinical practice, however, mental disorders in pa...tients with NCDs as well as NCDs in patients with mental disorders are often overlooked. Premature mortality and disability could be reduced if there were a greater focus on comorbidity.
This report addresses the needs of adults of working age with mental health problems – those with common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety and those with more severe conditions such as schizophrenia and bi-polar affective disorder. It also addresses the needs of those with NCDs, specifically cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes mellitus.

Как и руководство 2006 года, настоящий документ предназначен для специалистов,
занимающихся разработкой государственных программ по борьбе с туберкулезом, педиатр...ов и других работников здравоохранения в странах с низким и средним уровнем дохода.

En 2016, l’ONUSIDA lançait un appel pour que les pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre accélérent la riposte au sida. En effet, si dans des pays d’Afrique de l’Est et du Sud les avancées sont réelles, ceux de l’Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre sont encore en retard dans l’accès... au dépistage et au traitement antirétroviral. Le 3 juillet 2017, les Présidents de l’Union Africaine avaient adopté un plan de rattrapage pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre avec l’appui de ONUSIDA, dans le but d’inverser la tendance de l’épidémie et combler les gaps financiers et programmatiques pour l’atteinte des 90-90-90 en 2020. Le Sénégal, à l’instar des pays de la sous région, s’est engagé à élaborer et mettre en œuvre son plan de rattrapage en 2018 pour accélérer les interventions vers l’atteinte de cet objectif. Le plan de rattrapage du Sénégal est lancé officiellement en janvier 2018 au Novotel en présence des autorités, des acteurs et des partenaires.

They then seek to define the resources that would be necessary to assure such care. These include human res...ources (staffing and training) and physical resources (infrastructure, equipment and supplies).
