This guide has been written for managers of national and district trachoma control programmes. It sets out, step-by-step, what is needed to assess the magnitude and extent of the trachoma problem in the area and how to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate a programme to control, and ultimately elim...inate, trachoma.

This document marks the beginning of a structured approach to safety assessment of GE foods, which are yet to be approved in our country. It is understood that many changes will become necessary and will be incorporated as we progress. This document will ho...wever, remain an important milestone in the process towards safety evaluation of food derived from GE plants in India.

                                                                In order to streamline and effectively control compounding of medicinal products in hospitals and pharmacies, these Guidelines for Production of Extemporaneous and Hospital Based Sterile Preparations has been crafted.  The  purpose  of  these  guidelines  therefore  is  to  assist  pharmacists  in  ...discharging their  legal  and  professional  obligations  to  patients  in  the  area  of  extemporaneous dispensing. This guidance will help to assure the safe and appropriate preparation and  supply  of  extemporaneously  prepared  medicinal  products  to  patients,  where 
the supply of such products is necessary.  
 
Extemporaneous  and  hospital  based  sterile  preparations  are  critical  for  patients whose clinical needs cannot be met by registered medicinal products. The guidelines outline the principles and application of the concepts of Good Manufacturing  Practice  (GMP)  requirements  for  premises,  equipment,  personnel, storage,  quality  management  system,  quality  control,  compounding  processes  as well as documentation.

'Health and human rights in the new world (dis)order' outlines a shifting rights landscape in which new ...technologies, environmental change and geopolitical reconfigurations are putting renewed and at times intense stress on human rights, both in medicine and healthcare more broadly.

Specifically, the MDHS collected information on fertility levels, marriage, fertility preferences, awareness and use of family planning methods, breastfeeding practices, n...utrition, maternal and child health and mortality, awareness and behavior regarding HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and other health-related issues such as smoking and knowledge of tuberculosis. As the 2015-16 MDHS is the first DHS survey in the country, trend analysis is not carried out in this report.
