Alliance Report
 Participation of community health workers (CHWs) in the provision of primary health care has been experienced all over the world for several decades, and there is an amount ...of evidence showing that they can add significantly to the efforts of improving the health of the population, particularly in those settings with the highest shortage of motivated and capable health professionals.
                                                                    more
                                                            
                         
                     
                                                        
                        
                        
                            
                            
                                                                The  use  of  explosive  weapons,  such  as  bombs,  rockets,  and  mortar  and  
artillery  shells,  in  cities,  towns  and  villages  and  in  other  populated  areas  
has devastating humanitarian consequences. Explosive weapons act mainly 
through the projection of blast and fragmentation wi...thin an area. Their use, 
in  populated  areas,  causes  severe  suffering  to  civilians,  both  in  terms  of  
death and serious injury resulting directly from the explosion, and in terms 
of damage to property and public infrastructure, which can indirectly affect 
civilian well-being and survival, sometimes for many years after a conflict 
has ended. Explosive weapons also leave behind explosive remnants that 
pose a threat to populations until those remnants are removed. [...] The study finds that the regulation of explosive weapons under international 
law  and  policy  is  fragmentary  and  incoherent.

The focus of these guidelines is on two interr...elated aspects of prevention of healthcare associated infections (HAIs) and their spread; and the application of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) practices at hospital level. They aim to serve as a practical, step-by-step or ‘how-to’ guide, addressing the infection prevention and AMS components of a robust response in a hospital. They draw on
evidence from various international guidance documents and standards for interventions that have been shown to be successful in infection
prevention and AMS programmes.  These interventions have been customised to the South African hospital setting based on local
experiences in the public and private health sectors. This was done through a series of workshops and requests for comment involving
country-level experts.
