La hemorragia posparto (HPP) se define comúnmente como la pérdida de sangre
de 500 ml o más en el término de 24 horas después del parto. La HPP es la causa
principal de mortalidad materna en países de ingresos bajos y la causa primaria de
casi un cuarto de todas las defunciones maternas en
...
todo el mundo. La mayoría de las
muertes provocadas por HPP ocurren durante las primeras 24 horas después del parto:
la mayoría de estas podrían evitarse a través del uso profiláctico de agentes uterotónicos
durante el alumbramiento y mediante un tratamiento oportuno y apropiado.
Mejorar la atención de la salud de las mujeres durante el parto para prevenir y tratar la HPP
representa un paso necesario para el cumplimiento de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio.
Por lo tanto, el objetivo primario de esta directriz es proporcionar los cimientos para el
desarrollo estratégico de políticas y programas necesarios para garantizar la implementación
sostenible de intervenciones eficaces para reducir la carga global que representa la HPP.

L’hémorragie du post-partum (HPP) est communément définie comme une perte
sanguine d’au moins 500 ml survenant dans les 24 heures qui suivent l’accouchement.
Elle est la première cause de mortalité maternelle dans les pays à revenu faible
et la cause principale de près d’un décès
...
maternel sur quatre dans le monde. La plupart
des décès imputables à l’HPP surviennent pendant les premières 24 heures après
l’accouchement. La majorité d’entre eux pourraient être évités par l’administration
prophylactique d’utérotoniques au cours de la délivrance et une prise en charge
appropriée en temps opportun.
L’amélioration des soins aux femmes pendant l’accouchement en vue de prévenir
et traiter l’HPP est une étape essentielle vers la réalisation des objectifs du Millénaire
pour le développement. Ces recommandations ont donc pour objectif principal
de jeter les bases de l’élaboration de politiques et de programmes stratégiques
nécessaires pour garantir la mise en oeuvre pérenne d’interventions efficaces
en vue de réduire la charge mondiale de l’HPP.

2nd edition. The interagency field handbook on malaria control was developed to set out effective malaria control responses in humanitarian emergencies, particularly during the acute phase when reliance on international humanitarian assistance is greatest. This second edition represents a thorough u

pdating and revision of the first edition. The structure remains similar, but includes an additional chapter on humanitarian coordination. All chapters have been revised to reflect changes in best practices, improvements in technologies, availability of new tools, and changes in WHO recommendations.

All young people, including those with special needs and from the most vulnerable groups, have the right to quality health care services. Unfortunately, this right is not a reality, particularly in the case of sexual and reproductive health services. Many youth in need of sexual and reproductive hea
...
lth care may either decline or be denied access to health services for a variety of reasons: Providers are often biased and do not feel comfortable serving youth who are sexually active; youth do not feel comfortable accessing existing services because they are not "youth-friendly" and may not meet their needs; and, often, community members do not feel that youth should have access to sexual and reproductive health services.
To address provider and site bias toward serving youth, EngenderHealth created a training curriculum intended to sensitize all staff at a health care facility on the provision of youth-friendly services. The curriculum was created as a result of the participatory work that we have been doing with youth in Nepal to address the needs of all levels of providers at different service-delivery settings. The curriculum has been field-tested and used in Nepal, Russia, Mongolia, and the United States.
Youth-Friendly Services allows staff to reflect upon and assess their own beliefs about adolescent sexuality while ensuring that those values and attitudes do not compromise the basic sexual and reproductive health rights to which youth are entitled. The curriculum also helps providers understand cross-cultural principles of adolescent development and health needs specific to youth. Once participant knowledge, attitudes, and skills are improved, sites conduct a self-assessment on the youth-friendliness of their services and create an action plan for specific improvements.
