Par ses propriétés thérapeutiques, le médicament permet aux professionnels de santé
ainsi quaux pouvoirs publics dassurer la santé des populations. De ce fait, sa disponibilité et
son efficacité sont essentielles et sont le résultat dun circuit complexe (de sa fabrication... à sa
destruction en passant par sa distribution).
Laccessibilité au médicament est un élément déterminant de toute politique de santé.
Elle est garantie par la politique pharmaceutique de chaque pays qui vise à rendre le
médicament disponible pour tous, sur lensemble du territoire (accessibilité géographique), à
tout moment (accessibilité physique), à un prix abordable (accessibilité financière) et en
garantissant son efficacité et sa qualité (accessibilité qualitative

implementation capacities of the national framework for HIV/AIDS control.
The 2014–2015 Ebola outbreak was catastrophic in West Africa but the indirect impact of increasing the mortality rates of other conditions was also substantial. The increased number of deaths caused by malaria, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis attributable to health system failures exceeded deaths from ...Ebola.
With a relatively limited COVID-19 caseload, health systems may have the capacity to maintain routine service delivery in addition to managing COVID-19 cases. When caseloads are high, and/or health workers are directly affected, strategic adaptations are required to ensure that increasingly limited resources provide maximum benefit for the refugees and surrounding host population. The following are key considerations for UNHCR operations on prioritized health care services in the event of a COVID-19 outbreak. These are based on WHO Guidance for Maintaining Essential Health Services and UNHCR guidance for operations and where relevant operation or site level outbreak preparedness and response plans.

During the implementation of the National Strategic Plan 2009–2012 on HIV and AIDS, Rwanda has continued its progress towards universal access to HIV and AIDS services. The new HIV and AIDS National Strategic Plan July 2013–June 2018 (thereafter referred to as ‘the NSP’) presented here is se...t on pursuing the same objective, with inspiration from the global targets of “zero new HIV infections, zero HIV-related deaths and zero stigma and discrimination due to HIV”.

This publication aims to provide examples of better palliative care practices for older people to help those involved in planning and supporting care-oriented services most appropriately and effectively. Examples have been identifi ed from literature searches and from an international call... for examples through various organizations, including the European Association of Palliative Care and the European Union Geriatric Medicine Society. Some examples consider how to improve aspects within the whole health system; specifi c smaller examples consider how to improve palliative care education, support in the community, in hospitals or for specifi c groups of people, such as people in nursing homes and people with dementia and their families. Some examples await rigorous evaluation of effectiveness, and more research is needed in this fi eld, especially the cost–effectiveness and generalizability of these initiatives.

This report aims to estimate the economic cost of providing regular access to healthcare for migrants in an irregular situation, compared with the cost of providing treatment in emergency cases only. Two specific medical conditions – hypertension and prenatal care – were selected as examples, an...d their associated costs were calculated using an economic model. This model was then applied to three EU Member States: Germany, Greece and Sweden. The testing suggests that providing access to regular preventive healthcare for migrants in an irregular situation
would be cost-saving for governments.

Policy Research Working Paper 6100 | Impact Evaluation Series No. 60 | This study examines the effect of performance incentives for health care providers to provide more and higher quality care in Rwanda on child health outcomes. The authors find that the incentives had a large and significant effec...t on the weight-for-age of children 0–11 months and on the height-for-age of children 24–49 months. They attribute this improvement to increases in the use and quality of prenatal and postnatal care. Consistent with theory, They find larger effects of incentives on services where monetary rewards and the marginal return to effort are higher. The also find that incentives reduced the gap between provider knowledge and practice of appropriate clinical procedures by 20 percent, implying a large gain in efficiency. Finally, they find evidence of a strong complementarity between performance incentives and provider skill .

L’Assemblée mondiale de la Santé, tenue en mai 2015, a adopté un Plan d’action mondial pour combattre la résistance aux antimicrobiens, qui définit 5 objectifs:
mieux faire connaître et comprendre le problème de la résistance aux antimicrobiens grâce à une communication, une éduc...ation et une formation efficaces;
renforcer les connaissances et les bases factuelles par la surveillance et la recherche;
réduire l’incidence des infections par des mesures efficaces d’assainissement, d’hygiène et de prévention des infections;
optimiser l’usage des médicaments antimicrobiens en santé humaine et animale;
dégager les arguments économiques en faveur d’investissements durables qui tiennent compte des besoins de tous les pays et accroître les investissements dans la mise au point de nouveaux médicaments, outils diagnostiques, vaccins et autres interventions.
