Guidelines for the Management and Therapy of Urine Incontinence in Children in Indonesia
The report provides the much-needed evidence to design interventions for children in Kenya and as such we urge partners to use this report as a document for planning for children.

this, such as differences in the ways the two sectors are organised and

This article, based on a new... Observatory policy brief, describes the

collaboration. While there is no universal template that can be followed
by all countries, improved integration promises to yield substantial
benefits to patients and wider populations.
