These organisations have joined forces to accelerate access to COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics by leveraging multilateral finance and trade solutions, particularly for low- and middle-income countries.
The aim is to vaccinate at least 40 percent of people in every country by the end... of 2021, and at least 60 percent by mid-2022. The effort will track, coordinate, and advance delivery of COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics, working with governments and partners at the global and local levels to address finance and trade barriers to ensure that vulnerable populations have access to these life-saving tools. It supports the goals of the ACT-Accelerator and complementary initiatives.

Peru celebrates 200 years of independence in 2021. Over this period of independent life, and despite the turbulent socio-political scenarios, from internal armed conflict to economic crisis to political instability over the last 40 years, Peru has experienced major changes on its epidemiological and... population health profile. Major advancements in maternal and child health as well as in communicable diseases have been achieved in recent decades, and today
Peru faces an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases including mental health conditions. In terms of the configuration of the public health system, Peru has also strived to secure country-wide optimal health care, struggling in particular to improve primary health care and intercultural services.

New research exposes how women and children are disproportionally affected by climate migration, which puts them at greater risk of gender-based violence, child labour and exploitation.
Governments must ensure the safety and protection of women and girls in climate emergencies, including the safe... and equal access to basic services, food, and healthcare before, during, and after disasters. Women must also be included in decision making in their communities so they can lead on resilience building and address gendered issues of migration and displacement.

O PACK Brasil é uma parceria entre a Unidade de Tradução do Conhecimento (KTU), Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Florianópolis/SC, BMJ e Fundação ProAR. A Fund...ação ProAR é a líder oficial das atividades do PACK no Brasil. Mais informações sobre a ProAR podem ser encontradas em: www.fundacaoproar.org.br
O PACK foi adaptado, traduzido, implementado e avaliado em serviços de atenção primária brasileiros entre 2015 e 2017. Um ensaio clínico randomizado concluiu que o PACK qualificou o atendimento clínico de pacientes adultos com doenças respiratórias crônicas na atenção primária e apoiou o compartilhamento do cuidado entre médicos e enfermeiros. Desde então, foi revisado anualmente, estando alinhado com as políticas públicas locais. Em 2021, foi desenvolvido conteúdos adicionais sobre o manejo da COVID-19.

Pessoas privadas de liberdade, por exemplo, detentos em presídios e outros locais de detenção, podem estar mais vulneráveis a doença do coronavírus (COVID-19) quando comparadas à população em geral, devido às condições de confinamento em que vivem com outras pessoas por períodos prolong...ados. Além disso, a experiência mostra que prisões, cadeias e locais semelhantes onde as pessoas estejam reunidas próximas entre si podem agir como fonte de infecção, amplificação e propagação de doenças infecciosas dentro e fora das prisões.

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a major impact on the mental health of populations in the Americas. Studies
show high rates of depression and anxiety, among other psychological symptoms, particularly among women, young
people, those with pre-existing mental health conditions, health workers, and p...ersons living in vulnerable condi-
tions. Mental health systems and services have also been severely disrupted. A lack of financial and human resource
investments in mental health services, limited implementation of the decentralized community-based care approach
and policies to address the mental health gap prior to the pandemic, have all contributed to the current crisis. Coun-
tries must urgently strengthen their mental health responses to COVID-19 by taking actions to scale up mental
health and psychosocial support services for all, reach marginalized and at-risk populations, and build back better
mental health systems and services for the future.
