Oferecer atendimento de saúde especializado para o tratamento de pacientes críticos com síndrome respiratória aguda grave (SRAG), encaminhados principalmente de unidades de saúde onde a capacidade das unidades de terapia intensiva tem sido sobrecarregada pelo alto volume de pacientes. A estrutu...ra flexível de uma Equipe de Saúde de Emergência para SRAG também permite a configuração de leitos para tartar pacientes gravemente doentes que precisem de oxigenoterapia. PRINCIPAIS CARACTERÍSTICAS: Equipes de Saúde de Emergência para SRAG utilizam estruturas portáteis que variam de tendas a contêineres. Eles também podem ser implantados dentro de estruturas fechadas alternativas usando módulos pré-fabricados. Unidades de Saúde de Emergência para SRAG podem oferecer até 30 leitos para pacientes críticos ou gravemente doentes (10 leitos para casos críticos com suspeita de COVID-19, 10 leitos para casos críticos com COVID-19 confirmada, e 10 leitos para casos graves). Unidades de Saúde de Emergência para SRAG possuem um centro de comando para a coordenação das operações do dia a dia. Esse é um sistema modular que pode ser expandido conforme necessário, adicionando unidades de 10 leitos, o que aumenta sua resposta conforme as necessidades e os recursos existentes.

Le Burkina Faso est l’un des pays les plus pauvres du monde avec peu de donateurs institutionnels œuvrant directement à la satisfaction des besoins des personnes en situation de handicap. En tant que pays prioritaire de LIGHT FOR THE WORLD ainsi que de la Coopération Autrichienne au Développem...ent, le Burkina Faso offre de réelles opportunités pour un travail en synergie. Afin de soutenir le programme au Burkina Faso, LIGHT FOR THE WORLD a décidé d’y ouvrir un bureau pays en 2009. Ce bureau jouera un rôle crucial dans l’appui des partenaires locaux et contribuera à une transition dans le travail de LIGHT FOR THE WORLD au Burkina Faso, passant d’une série de projets indépendants à un programme complet visant à promouvoir le développement inclusif et la création d’une société inclusive. Il permet à LIGHT FOR THE WORLD d’apporter une réelle plus-value aux efforts pour la création d’une société inclusive. Cette stratégie d’intervention a été élaborée suivant un processus exhaustif: sur base d’une analyse situationnelle et d’une large consultation des acteurs principaux entre avril 2010 et mai 2011 au Burkina Faso et en Europe.

(The Pyidaungsu Hluttaw Law No. 21,2013)
This paper examines the implications of the IMF’s April 2024 macro-fiscal forecast updates on government health expenditure (GHE) across 170 economies through 2029, covering nearly all years remaining to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The findings reveal wide disparities in gove...rnments' capacities to increase health spending, with differences not only observed across income groups but also within them. Primary concerns focus to two groups of low- and lower middleincome
countries: the first group is projected to experience a contraction in real per capita GHE from 2019 and 2029, threatening to reverse progress toward the health SDG targets, while the other group faces stagnation in real per capita GHE, greatly limiting advancement. The insights presented are crucial for health policymakers and their external partners to respond to evolving macro-fiscal circumstances and stabilize investment growth in health. While increasing the priority of health in spending is a key policy option, it will not be sufficient on its own. Effective responses also
require improving spending efficiency and addressing broader fiscal challenges. Without decisive action, many countries have little chance of achieving the health SDGs.
