The  hazardous  wastes  generated  by  health  care  facilities  are  a challenge in Zambia as handling, storage, transportation and final disposal leaves much to be desired.

It seeks to promote the best available therapy so as to reduce the risk of death, shorten the length of time spent in hospital, and facilitate rehabilitation and full recovery. Emphasis is given to the... management of severely malnourished children in hospital and health centres; the management of severely malnourished children in disaster situations and refugee camps and of severely malnourished adolescents and adults is also considered briefly.

Amongst these three surveys, the 2014 one is the most comprehensive, providing an analysis of all States and Regions within Myanmar through not only questionnaires and physical measur...ements – STEPs 1 and 2 of the survey – but also with data obtained through biochemical measurements (STEP 3).
The STEPS survey was initiated by the Ministry of Health in December 2014 with the technical support of WHO Headquarters, regional and country offices.

Both uncomplicated and severe infections are potentially curable  as  long  as  the  aetiological  agents  are  susceptible  to  the  ...antimicrobial  drugs.  The  rapid  rate  with  which  antimicrobial  agents  are  becoming  ineffective  due  to  resistance  acquired  as  a  result  of   unchecked  overuse and misuse threatens to undo the benefit of controlling infections. The evidence for resistant microorganisms,  many  times  to  more  than  a  single  antimicrobial  agent,  has  been  observed  globally.  In  Tanzania, there is evidence in the form of  few scattered studies conducted in different parts of  the country in  a  multitude  of   settings  including  health  care  facilities,  the  community,  domesticated  animals  and  wild  animals

with disabilities carried out in Nepal in 2014-2015. The study was carried
out as a household survey with two-stage stratified sampling, including a screening/listing procedure using the Washington Group on Disability
Statis...tics 6 questions, one Household questionnaire administered to
households with (Case HHs) and without disabled members (Control
HHs), one Individual Case questionnaire administered to individuals who were found to qualify as being disabled in the screening (Case
individuals), and an Individual Control questionnaire administered to
matched non-disabled individuals in the Control HHs (Control individuals). The study covers a range of indicators on level of living, such as socioeconomic indicators, economic activity, income, ownership and infrastructure, health (including reproductive health), access to health information, access to services, education, access to information, social participation, and exposure to discrimination and abuse (see all
questionnaires in Appendix).

The World Health Organization (WHO) Joint External Evaluation (JEE) and the Global Health Security Index report confirmed the known capacity gaps in biosafety and biosecurity among Africa Union Member (AU).
The regional consultations by Africa CDC conducted between 2019-2021 highlighted the deficiency or limited availability of standardized and regionally recognized training programs in the continent, limiting biosafety and biosecurity capacity building efforts in the region. In response, Africa CDC working with AU Member States developed a home grown, implementable and accessible professional training and certification program that is both recognized and endorsed by AU Member States. The Regional Training and Certification Program for Biosafety and Biosecurity Professionals, for African Biosafety and Biosecurity Professionals (RTCP-BBP) has four (4) areas of specialization, namely
Selection, Installation, Maintenance and Certification of Biological Safety Cabinets
Biorisk Management
Design and Maintenance of Facilities Handling High Risk Pathogens (Biocontainment Engineering)
Biological Waste management

После этой краткой вступительной главы будут рассмотрены зависящие от возраста этапы когнитивного, лингвистического социально-эмоционального и поведенческого развития от младенческого возраста, и до подросткового. Несмотря на то, что понимание этапов нормального физического развития также важно, эти вопросы обычно хорошо освещаются в медицинских публикациях и в данной главе не освещаются.
