A propos du comité guinéen d’éthique pour la recherche en santé
L’esprit fondateur de l’éthique de la recherche dans le monde contemporain souligne la dimension morale inhérente à tout acte de recherche au service de l’humanité. En Guinée, l’essor du... concept est associé à la normalisation du cadre de recherche en santé et au développement des interventions de santé publique dans le pays. C’est au cours de l’élaboration de la Stratégie de la Recherche Nationale Essentielle en Santé (RNES) que le code d’éthique y afférent a été formulé. Il a été intégré un peu plus tard au code de santé publique ayant fait l’objet de la loi n°021/AN/97 du 19 juin 1997.
Le Comité National d’Ethique pour la Recherche en Santé (CNERS) a été créé l’année suivante par le Décret N° D/218/PRG/SGG du 29 octobre 1998. Il a été placé sous la tutelle du Ministère de la Santé Publique qui doit lui fournir les moyens de son fonctionnement. Son siège est établi à Conakry, dans l’enceinte de la Blue zone de Dixinn.
La première équipe du CNERS a été mise en place par le Décret N°D/99/078/PRG/SGG du 02 août 1999 pour une durée de trois (03) ans renouvelables. Lors de sa première session, en Octobre 1999, le CNERS a élu un bureau de quatre (04) membres, et a choisi une femme pour la présidence.

Because of the limited access to more powerful diagnostic tools, there is a paucity of data regarding the burden of fungal infections in Burkina Faso. The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence and prevalence of serious fungal infections in this sub-Saharan country. We primarily used the na...tional demographic data and performed a PubMed search to retrieve all published papers on fungal infections from Burkina Faso and its surrounding West African countries. Considering the prevalence of HIV infection (0.8% of the population) and a 3.4% incidence of cryptococcosis in hospitals, it is estimated that 459 patients per year develop cryptococcosis. For pneumocystosis, it is suggested that 1013 new cases occur every year. Taking into account the local TB frequency (population prevalence at 0.052%), we estimate the prevalence of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis at 1120 cases. Severe forms of asthma with fungal sensitization and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis are estimated to affect 7429 and 5628 cases, respectively. Vulvovaginal candidiasis may affect 179,000 women, and almost 1,000,000 children may suffer from tinea capitis. Globally, we estimate that roughly 1.4 million people in Burkina Faso (7.51% of the population) suffer from a serious fungal infection. These data should be used to drive future epidemiological studies, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic strategies.

This paper explores access to water, sanitation, and health in pastoral communities in northern Tanzania. It argues that the concept of gender, used on its own, is not enough to understand the complexities of sanitation, hygiene, water, and health. It explores pastoralists’ views and perspectives ...on what is ‘clean’, ‘safe’, and ‘healthy’, and their need to access water and create sanitary arrangements that work for them, given the absence of state provision of modern water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure. Although Tanzania is committed to enhancing its citizens’ access to WASH services, pastoral sanitation and hygiene tend to be overlooked and little attention is paid to complex ways in which access to ‘clean’ water and ‘adequate sanitation’ is structured in these communities. This paper offers an intersectional analysis of water and sanitation needs, showing how structural discrimination in the form of a lack of appropriate infrastructure, a range of sociocultural norms and values, and individual stratifiers interact to influence the sanitation and health needs of pastoralist men, women, boys, and girls.
