Руководство предназначено для оказания помощи правительствам стран, в которых наблюдаются низкие уровни потребления контролируемых веществ, в исчислении их потр...ебностей, с тем чтобы они могли затем представлять МККН исчисления и оценки, достоверно отражающие эти потребности. Руководство могло бы также быть полезным для правительств тех стран, в которых уровни потребления некоторых веществ несоразмерно высоки. Надеюсь, что настоящее Руководство будет широко использоваться национальными компетентными органами и в конечном счете поможет им в подготовке исчислений и оценок, отражающих их фактические потребности в контролируемых на международном уровне веществах.

Defeating meningitis by 2030: a global road map
Epidemics and pandemics of infectious diseases are occurring more often, and spreading faster and further than ever, in many different regions of the world. The background factors of this threat are biological, environmental and lifestyle changes, among others. A potentially fatal combination of new...ly-discovered diseases, and the re-emergence of many long-established ones, demands urgent responses in all countries. Planning and preparation for epidemic prevention and control are essential. The purpose of the Managing epidemics handbook is to provide expert guidance on those responses. Building on the first edition, the second edition provides concise and basic up-to-date knowledge with which public health officials can respond effectively and rapidly at the very start of an outbreak. Part I of the handbook provides insights on epidemics of the 21st century and offers context on the upsurge of recent epidemics. Part II has been updated and offers 10 key facts about 19 deadly diseases including tips on the interventions required to respond. Part III presents various Tool boxes that summarize guidance on several important topics. The handbook focuses on practical and indispensable things to know about infectious diseases that are most important for national, political and operational decision-makers; it also links readers to more exhaustive WHO guidan

Centro de tratamiento de infecciones respiratorias agudas graves: manual práctico para instalar y gestionar un centro de tratamiento de las infecciones respiratorias agudas graves y una zona para el tamizaje de estas en los establecimientos de asistencia médica
En el año 2020 se registró una muerte materna cada hora en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). Ese mismo año, la tendencia de la razón de mortalidad materna (RMM) en la Región de las Américas retrocedió de manera alarmante e inaudita a los niveles de hace veinte años. Estas cifras no solo imp...lican un empeoramiento en los resultados, sino una profundización de las desigualdades, lo que representa miles de tragedias individuales e inaceptables que en la mayoría de los casos serían evitables. La muerte materna es el resultado de un proceso multifactorial donde interactúan elementos estructurales como el sistema económico, las condiciones ambientales y la cultura. Además, intervienen otros factores relativos a la desigualdad social, como el racismo, la pobreza, la desigualdad de género y la falta de acceso al sistema educativo

Передающиеся через почву гельминтозы (ППГ) относятся к наиболее распространенным инвазиям во всем мире и, согласно расчетам, поражают 1,5 млрд человек, или 24% мирово...о населения. Они поражают беднейшие и наиболее обездоленные группы населения, не имеющие полноценного доступа к чистому водоснабжению и санитарно-гигиеническим средствам, на территории тропических и субтропических районов и, по имеющимся данным, наиболее распространены в странах Африки к югу от Сахары, Китае, Южной Америке и Азии. Они передаются через яйца, присутствующие в фекалиях человека, которые в неблагополучных с санитарной точки зрения районах попадают в почву. В районах интенсивной передачи данных паразитов проживает более 260 млн детей дошкольного возраста, 654 млн детей школьного возраста, 108 млн девочек-подростков и 138,8 млн беременных и кормящих грудью женщин, все из которых нуждаются в лечении и профилактике.

More countries eliminate human African trypanosomiasis as a public health problem: Benin and Uganda (gambiense form) and Rwanda (rhodesiense form)
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), or sleeping sickness, transmitted by tsetse flies in sub-Saharan Africa, is a life-threatening disease that afflict...s poor rural populations. It is caused by trypanosome parasites of 2 subspecies: Trypanosoma brucei gambiense in West and Central Africa, and T. b. rhodesiense in East Africa.
HAT transmission can be reduced and interrupted by deploying and maintaining capacities for testing people at risk in order to detect and treat cases, and by controlling tsetse populations that are in contact with humans.
