Тщательно взвесив все за и против, мы предлагаем в начальной главе первого учебника по детской и подростковой психиатрии IACAPAP сосредоточить внимание на взаимоотно...шениях между этой областью знаний и этикой. Несмотря на то, что эта, посвященная этике, глава обращена главным образом к практикующим врачам, большинство приве-
денных здесь этических проблем обсуждены применительно также и к другим профессионалам, работающим в психиатрии и принимающим участие в процессе лечения детей и подростков (например, психологам, социальным работникам, среднему медицинскому персоналу, терапевтам).

Un enfoque práctico para elaborar políticas y estrategias destinadas a mejorar la calidad de la atención
La elaboración, mejora y ejecución de las políticas y estrategias nacionales de calidad son una prioridad para los países que se esfuerzan por mejorar el desempeño de sus sistemas de sal...ud. El creciente impulso hacia la cobertura universal de salud se acompaña de la correspondiente conciencia de que un mejor acceso requiere esfuerzos orientados a mejorar la calidad de los servicios de salud para lograr las mejoras deseadas en los resultados en materia de salud. Los países están solicitando asesoramiento para orientar sus esfuerzos en relación con las políticas y estrategias nacionales de calidad. Están adoptando diversos enfoques con múltiples puntos de entrada para mejorar la calidad, y muchos de ellos también están centrando su atención en el nivel subnacional como un ámbito de acción. Sin embargo, el objetivo sigue siendo el mismo: aumentar la calidad de la atención de salud como un punto de entrada crucial para el fortalecimiento de los sistemas de salud, y en último término lograr mejorar la salud de la población.

The UNAIDS 2020 global report is a call to action. It highlights the scale of the HIV epidemic and how it runs along the fault lines of inequalities.
The Antimicrobial Resistance Benchmark has evaluated for the second time how the most important players in the antibiotic market are addressing the rise of resistance and the global need for appropriate access to antibiotics. Although we can see progress — it’s hanging by a thread.
We have reac...hed a tipping point where large and prominent drugmakers have retreated from the antibiotics field and smaller innovative biotech companies have gone bankrupt due to the poor financial rewards on offer.

Reflections from disability research using the ICF in Afghanistan and Cambodia | Working Paper Series: No. 11
This document was prepared in response to a need to review and potentially update the current recommendations for the antibiotic treatment of both inpatient and outpatient management of severe acute malnutrition (SAM). The current recommendations (Table 1) are based on guidelines published in 2013 i...n the WHO Pocketbook for Hospital Care for Children, and the 2013 update on SAM (outpatient management). The global threat of increasing antimicrobial resistance and new data on efficacy and safety profiles requires a re-review of the current evidence to ensure recommendations are the most appropriate. The evidence base for the use of antibiotics in children presenting with uncomplicated SAM has been recently enlarged.
