The aim of this guidance is to enhance the capacity of health care facilities to protect and improve the health of their target communities in an unstable and changing climate; and to empower health care facilities to be environmentally sustainable, by optimizing the use of resources and minimizing ...the release of waste into the environment. Climate resilient and environmentally sustainable health care facilities contribute to high quality of care and accessibility of services, and by helping reduce facility costs also ensure better affordability. They are, therefore, an important component of universal health coverage (UHC).

The content of these guidelines acknowledges that wasting and undernutrition in HIV-infected children reflect a series of failures within the health system, the home and community and not just a biological process related to virus and host interactions.
The guidelines do not cover the feeding of i...nfants 0 to 6 months old, because the specialised care in this age group is already addressed in other WHO guidelines and documents.

The Regional strategy for measles control recommends that a second opportunity for measles immunization be provided to all children irrespective of their vaccination status or history of clinical measles. The preferred method of provision of a second opportunity is through Supplemental Immunization ...Activities (SIAs) targeting children 9 months to 14 years in catch-up campaigns and 9 months to 4 or 5 years during periodic follow-up campaigns

Leprosy will be eliminated when we detect all patients and cure them by using multidrug therapy (MDT).
Elimination means bringing the disease burden down to a very low level. This will lead to a reduction in the source of infection, so that leprosy is likely to disappear naturally as it already h...as in many parts of the world. WHO has defined “elimination” as a prevalence rate of less than 1 case per 10,000 inhabitants.

The recently published World Health Organization (WHO) Strengthening infection prevention and control in primary care document collates existing standards, measurement and implementation approaches, and resources for infection prevention and control (IPC) in primary care. During its development, it ...became apparent that a number of already existing tools and resources have the potential to support facility-level implementation of IPC in primary care.
This toolkit brings together in one place a number of these tools and resources from WHO and other organizations, with a focus on those most relevant to primary care. These tools and resources have been compiled to support facility-level implementation in line with the recommended WHO IPC Hub and Task Force multimodal approach.

Gesundheit ist nicht nur Voraussetzung für ein selbstbestimmtes Leben, sondern auch essenziell für die gesellschaftliche und nachhaltige wirtschaftliche Entwicklung in unseren Partnerländern. Die gegenwärtige COVID-19 Pandemie zeigt, welche Gefahren von Infektionskrankheiten ausge...-hen. Der Erreger der Pandemie SARS-CoV-2 gibt auch einen Hinweis auf die Bedeutung zoono-tischer, also zwischen Tier und Mensch übertragbarer, Krankheiten. Es ist zu erwarten, dass diese Art von Erregern in der Zukunft noch häufiger auftreten wird. Eine wachsende Weltbevölkerung, Klimawandel, steigende Mobilität, Vordringen des Menschen in bisher unberührte Lebensräume, industrielle Landwirtschaft und Nutztierhaltung sind Faktoren, die das Risiko für das Entstehen bzw. für eine schnelle Ausbreitung von Krankheitserregern erhöhen

Guidelines for Good Clinical Laboratory Practices (GCLP) outlines the principles and procedures to be followed by medical laboratories involved in clinical research and/or patient care so as to provide quality data which can be used for health research and patient treatment. As the use of laboratory... tests (often expensive) are increasingly becoming a part of medical diagnosis and research, generation of quality data would be a cost-effective and ethically sound strategy.
