La formation initiale en soins inrmiers vise le développement des compétences inhérentes à la
pratique inrmière. Qu’elle relève des domaines scientique, relationnel, éthique, déontologique
ou juridique, l’acquisition des savoirs occupe une place prépondérante dans les appren...tissages que
l’étudiante doit faire pour exercer sa future profession. À cela s’ajoute l’habileté à organiser ses
activités cliniques, la capacité de s’impliquer au sein d’une équipe travaillant en interdisciplinarité
et la facilité à utiliser les divers moyens de transmission de l’information clinique (plan de soins et
de traitements inrmiers, plan thérapeutique inrmier, rédaction des notes d’évolution dans le
dossier et autres outils de documentation).

En 2013, 289 000 femmes sont décédées pendant ou après une grossesse ou un accouchement, et 2,8 millions de nouveau-nés sont morts avant l’âge de 28 jours. La majorité de ces décès ont eu lieu dans des environnements limités en ressources et la plupart auraient pu être évités.L’acco...uchement est un processus complexe et il est essentiel de penser à fournir tout ce
qui est nécessaire pour garantir que la mère et le nouveau-né reçoivent les soins les plus sûrs possible. Les listes de contrôle sont des outils utiles pour organiser des processus aussi complexes et importants ; on les utilise depuis longtemps pour inciter les utilisateurs à se rappeler les tâches essentielles pour dispenser des soins plus sûrs et de meilleure qualité
dans divers contextes.
La liste OMS de contrôle pour la sécurité de l’accouchement a été élaborée comme un outil visant à améliorer la qualité des soins prodigués aux femmes qui mettent un enfant au monde

De 2008 à 2011, la Confédération internationale des sages-femmes (ICM) a entrepris l’élaboration des Normes globales pour la réglementation de la pratique sage-femme, parallèlement au développement des normes globales pour la formation des sages-femmes et à une mise à jour des compétence...s pour la pratique du métier de sagefemme. Ces normes globales, auxquelles viennent
s’ajouter les autres documents fondamentaux de l’ICM, fournissent un cadre professionnel qui peut être utilisé par les associations de sages-femmes, les organismes de réglementation de la pratique sage-femme, les formateurs de sages-femmes et
les gouvernements, pour renforcer la profession et améliorer le niveau de la pratique sage-femme dans leur pays.

The indicators and questions in this document are designed for use by national AIDS programmes and partners to assess the state of a country’s HIV and AIDS response, and to measure progress towards achieving national HIV targets. Countries are encouraged to integrate these indicators and questions... into their ongoing monitoring efforts and to report comprehensive national data through the Global AIDS Monitoring (GAM) process. In this way they will contribute to improving understanding of the global response to the HIV epidemic, including progress that has been made towards achieving the commitments and global targets set out in the new United Nations Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS: Ending Inequalities and Getting on Track to End AIDS by 2030, adopted in June 2021, and the linked Sustainable Development Goals.

What are the FP and CAC competencies?
Through the clear articulation of the family planning and comprehensive abortion care (FP and CAC) competencies for the primary health care workforce, the aim is to advance improvements in FP and CAC service delivery by aligning health worker education approach...es with population health needs and health system demands.
This document, which describes these competencies in detail, is intended to:
be a foundational tool to be adopted and adapted by educators and regulators for FP and CAC providers (students) with a pre-service training pathway of at least 12 months;
describe competencies that are relevant to current and future health practice;
enable widespread use of the competencies not only for curriculum development for pre-service education, but also for in-service education, regulation, qualifications, quality assurance, personal development, performance evaluation, recruitment, management and career progression;
focus on the core functions of FP and CAC providers within broader efforts towards achieving universal health coverage

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a threat to global health and development and it contributes to millions of deaths worldwide each year. Inappropriate use and overuse of antibiotics are driving an increase in AMR and have a detrimental impact on the effectiveness of these critical medicines. Throug...h the Global Action Plan on AMR, WHO is working to improve the surveillance of antimicrobial resistance and reduce inappropriate antibiotic consumption.
There is a recognized need for high-quality resources to improve antibiotic prescribing globally. To address this need, a pragmatic approach was taken by WHO to develop actionable guidance for empiric antibiotic use.
The WHO AWaRe (Access, Watch, Reserve) antibiotic book provides concise, evidence-based guidance on the choice of antibiotic, dose, route of administration, and duration of treatment for more than 30 of the most common clinical infections in children and adults in both primary health care and hospital settings. The information included in the book supports the recommendations for antibiotics listed on the WHO Model Lists of Essential Medicines and Essential Medicines Children and the WHO AWaRe classification of antibiotics.
The WHO AWaRe antibiotic book is accompanied by summary infographics for each infection for both adults and children that provide a quick-reference guide for health care workers at the point of care.

The world faces grave consequences from the lack of available mental health services and treatment. Mental illness impacts every country, culture and community, with the World Health Organization (WHO) stating that 10% of the global burden of disease is related to mental, neurological and substance ...use disorders. In low-and middle-income countries, more than 75% of people with mental disorders receive no treatment at all for their disorder. During 2020, as a result of the global pandemic, 93% of countries reported their mental health services were either halted or interrupted (WHO, 2020e). WHO reported a 25% increase in depression and anxiety alone during the pandemic. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development estimates depression and anxiety cost the global economy US $1 trillion dollars a year. All nurses have a health care role in mental health and substance use. ICN strongly advocates for the investment of further education and professional development in this area in order to support individuals and communities achieve the highest attainable standard of health which includes
physical, mental and social wellbeing.
