There is growing pressure on PEPFAR, the U.S. global HIV program, to increase its planning for sustainability, including through domestic resource mobilization and, ultimately, transitioning financing at
least in part to recipient countries. While this is connected to a broader push in global healt...h and development, driven by a constrained financing environment and desire to promote more countryownership of programs and services, there are specific questions facing PEPFAR’s future. A National Academy report from 2017, for example, recommended that PEPFAR look toward phasing down its spending and supporting countries in their transition from bilateral aid to domestic financing for HIV. At a
Senate hearing last year, PEPFAR was asked how it was working to increase domestic resources and under what conditions would it need less resources to accomplish its goals. Recent challenges in securing a five-year reauthorization of the program have only served to heighten the focus on
sustainability and domestic resource mobilization. How PEPFAR does this, however, remains an ongoing question.

A SIM-P é uma nova apresentação clínica potencialmente grave em crianças e adolescentes associada à infecção pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2, que já foi descrita em diversos países, inclusive no Brasil.
Até a semana epidemiológica 27 de 2021 (SE 27) que vai até 10 de julho de 2021, foram notificados 1.105 casos confirmados de SIM-P no território nacional e registrados 69 óbitos (letalidade de 6,2%).
Os dados registrados no Brasil demonstram uma letalidade maior por SIM-P quando comparados a países desenvolvidos. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste Manual é fornecer às equipes de vigilância epidemiológica munici pais, estaduais e distrital subsídios para implantação da vigilância do óbito relacionado à doença, além de investigar quais fatores estão relacionados ao óbito em decorrência da SIM-P no país.
