La  résistance  aux  antimicrobiens  (ou  RAM,  cette  abréviation étant est ici également  employée  en  mode  adjectif pour désigner les organismes « résistants aux antimicrobiens ») est une préoccupation majeure pour la  santé  publique  mondiale  et  une  question  de  sécurité  san...itaire  des  aliments.  Lorsque  des  pathogènes  deviennent résistants aux agents antimicrobiens, ils peuvent présenter un risque plus important pour la santé découlant  d’un  éventuel  échec  thérapeutique,  de  la  diminution  de  choix  thérapeutiques  et  de  la  probabilité  accrue  d’apparition  et  de  gravité  de  la  maladie.  Les  problèmes  en  rapport  avec  la  RAM  sont  liés  de  façon inhérente  à  l’usage  des  antimicrobiens  dans  tous  les  types  d’environnements,  y  compris  les  utilisations  humaines  et  non  humaines.  L'utilisation  d’agents  antimicrobiens  dans  la  production  alimentaire  animale  et  végétale représente un facteur de risque important pour la sélection et la transmission de micro-organismes résistants   aux   antimicrobiens   (micro-organismes   RAM)   et   de   déterminants   de   la   résistance   aux   antimicrobiens (déterminants de  la  RAM) des  animaux  et  des  plantes  alimentaires  à  l’humain  par  sa consommation d’aliments.

diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases – accounted for 57% of these deaths. Furthermore, the direct and indirect economic
impact of NCDs is significant- Kenya is sai...d to have lost Ksh 230 billion or 3.4% of its gross domestic product in 2016 from rising
NCD-related medical costs and indirect productivity losses. At the household level, an estimated decrease of 28.6% in income
due to NCDs was reported in 2007 (Mwai & Muriithi, 2016; Mensah et al., 2020). Therefore, preventing and managing NCDs are
significant public health and economic priorities.

The handbook draws on the work from professionals who are dedic...ated to preventing and responding to Gender Based Violence.
The Handbook guides health care service providers to provide comprehensive services to survivors of intimate partner violence and/or sexual violence.   It also guides health professionals with respect to relevant stakeholders for referral purposes. The purpose is to ensure that relevant authorities are informed timeously in order act and ensure that those affected by violence receive speedy service as required.

Our understanding of how to diagnose and manage Long COVID is still evolving but the condition can be very debilitating. It is associated with a range of overlapping symptoms including generalized chest and muscle pain, fatigue, shortness of breath, and cognitive dysfunction, and the ...mechanisms involved affect multiple system and include persisting inflammation, thrombosis, and autoimmunity. It can affect anyone, but women and health care workers seem to be at greater risk.

Now mid-way through the scale-up phase, the tools we need to fundamentally change the course o...f this pandemic are within reach. But to deliver the full impact of the  ACT-Accelerator – and ultimately an exit to this global crisis – these tools need to be available everywhere. On behalf of the ACT-Accelerator Pillar lead agencies – CEPI, Gavi, the Global Fund, FIND, Unitaid, Wellcome Trust, the World Bank, and the World Health Organization, as well as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation – I am pleased to share this document setting out the near-term priorities, deliverables and financing requirements of the ACT-Accelerator Pillars and Health Systems Connector. Urgent action to address these financing requirements will boost the impact of the ACTAccelerator achievements to date, fast-track the development and deployment of additional game-changing tools, and mitigate the risk of a widening gap in access to COVID-19 tools between low- and high-income countries. Delivering on this promise requires strong political leadership, financial investment, and incountry capacity building. COVID-19 cannot be beaten by any one country acting alone. We must ACT now, and ACT together to end the COVID-19 crisis.

It provides a standardized methodology for conducting health facility-based cross-sectional surveys to assess the direct and indirect costs incurred by ...TB patients and their households. In addition, it provides recommendations on results dissemination, engaging across sectors in policy dialogue and enabling action and related research for effective modifications in care delivery models, in patient support, and wider cross-sectoral interventions.

While the milestones and targets remain the same, the approaches to tackling the disease, in some areas, have evolved to ...keep pace with the changing malaria landscape.
