Le médicament pharmaceutique industriel est un objet de santé
à la fois scientifique, populaire et marchand. Si ces deux premiers
caractères sont souvent mis en avant respectivement par les sciences
biom...édicales et pharmaceutiques, par la santé publique ainsi qu’à
travers les médias, sa troisième composante est plus souvent passée
sous silence. Elle tend à être dissimulée derrière ce qui est présenté
comme la vocation première du médicament, à savoir la santé des
individus, leur bien-être physique et psychique. Or, le caractère
marchand du médicament est un formidable vecteur de dynamiques
et d’initiatives. Il est peut-être ce qui explique avant tout
l’incroyable vitalité du secteur pharmaceutique de par la planète,
non sans poser de nombreux problèmes d’ordre sanitaire et de santé
publique.

Interpersonal violence – in all its forms – has a grave effect on children: Violence undermines children’s future potential; damages their physical, psychological and emotional well-being; and in many cases, ends their lives.

It is a pressing question for donors and NGOs alike: is funding development and humanitarian work in fragile and conflict-affected states (FCAS) the equivalent of pouring money into a bottomless pit, if achievements are only going to be undone by further cycles of violence? There is, of course, a st...rong humanitarian imperative to meet the needs of those caught up in violence. However, if the long-term aim of humanitarian and development efforts is the reduction of poverty, it begs the question: what contribution can these programmes make to building peace and stability – and thus increase their own effectiveness and sustainability?

Water security, or having the right amount and quality of water in the right place at the right time, fosters social and economic progress. Where water is sufficient to meet demand, it can promote economy wide growth and enable countries to reach their food security, energy security, and human devel...opment goals.

Neither of these two worlds is protected from future water crises, which are heavily influenced by changing local circumstances

Les situations d’urgence, malgré leur caractère
tragique et les conséquences désastreuses qu’elles ont
sur la santé mentale, sont aussi des occasions uniques
d’améliorer la vie d’un grand nombre de personnes
moyennant une réforme de la santé mentale. Cela
est d’autant plus imp...ortant que la santé mentale est
indispensable au bien-être général, au fonctionnement
et à la résilience des individus, des sociétés, et
des pays qui se relèvent de catastrophes naturelles,
de conflits armés ou d’autres situations difficiles.
