By 2100, new UN figures show that 4 of today’s 10 most populous nations will be replaced by African countries.
Brazil, Bangladesh, Russia and Mexico—where populations are projected to stagnate or decline—will drop out. In their place: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania and E...gypt. All 4 are projected to more double in population.
Top 10 rankings in population growth by 2100 include only 2 non-African nations—Pakistan and the US.
c1China will shrink by 374 million fewer people—more than the entire US population.

Las infecciones del sitio quirúrgico (ISQ) constituyen una de las Infecciones Asociadas al Cuidado de la Salud (IACS) más frecuentes que ponen en riesgo a los pacientes llevando muchas veces al fracaso del procedimiento quirúrgico. Con una incidencia mucho mayor en países de medianos y bajos ing...resos, representa un desafío de la práctica médica cotidiana que compromete la salud y la seguridad de los pacientes. La indicación de profilaxis primaria con antibióticos en relación a los procedimientos invasivos, tiene como objetivo disminuir la incidencia de infecciones con la consecuente disminución de la morbimortalidad debiendo utilizarse únicamente en aquellos procedimientos en los que hay evidencia de efectividad. Cabe destacar que la indicación inadecuada, tiene potenciales efectos adversos tales como infecciones por Clostridium difficile, emergencia de resistencia
bacteriana, reacciones adversas a drogas e incremento de los costos en salud.
La profilaxis antibiótica como complemento de una buena técnica quirúrgica, es una medida costo efectiva de prevención de las ISQ representando alrededor del 30% de la indicación de antibióticos entre los pacientes hospitalizados. Dado que en algunos estudios el uso inapropiado de antibióticos se ve reflejado en el 40 al
80% de las indicaciones médicas, desde la Comisión de Infecciones Asociadas al Cuidado de la Salud y Seguridad del Paciente de SADI hemos realizado una actualización de la evidencia disponible. Este documento es una acción complementaria al consenso “Prevención de Infección del Sitio Quirúrgico” realizado entre SADI y el Instituto Nacional de Epidemiología “J. Jara” durante el Congreso de SADI 2015.
La posibilidad de contar con una guía actualizada de profilaxis quirúrgica adaptada a nuestro medio, constituye una herramienta de uso cotidiano por parte de los profesionales del equipo quirúrgico que permite la optimización de la utilización de fármacos restringiendo así la emergencia y diseminación de la resistencia bacteriana. Sin duda esperamos que pueda ser de utilidad para el equipo de salud.

Die Versorgung von schutzbedürftigen Geflüchteten ist eine moralische Verpflichtung, der Deutschland nicht gerecht wird.
Wie groß die Bereitschaft in Deutschland ist, Geflüchtete aufzunehmen, hat die Reaktion der Bevölkerung auf die humanitäre Krise, ausgelöst durch den Angriffskrieg
Russla...nds auf die Ukraine, gezeigt. In der Verteidigungs- und Außenpolitik haben
wir einen Paradigmenwechsel gesehen. Notwendig ist ein solcher Paradigmenwechsel
auch bezüglich der Verantwortung gegenüber Überlebenden von Krieg, Folter und
Flucht allgemein.
Gesundheit ist ein Menschenrecht. Doch werden Menschen mit Fluchterfahrung
häufig mit ihren Belastungen alleingelassen, obgleich zahlreiche völkerrechtliche
Übereinkommen Deutschland verpflichten, bei Bedarf eine psychosoziale Beglei-
tung und/oder therapeutische Behandlung bereitzustellen

Conference Report Sao Paulo, Brazil 22-24 October 2015
Water security, or having the right amount and quality of water in the right place at the right time, fosters social and economic progress. Where water is sufficient to meet demand, it can promote economy wide growth and enable countries to reach their food security, energy security, and human devel...opment goals. Where it is scarce, excessive, or unclean it can exacerbate multiple dimensions of poverty. Neither of these two worlds is protected from future water crises, which are heavily influenced by changing local circumstances

Children living in humanitarian crises face an increased risk of abuse. While the threats of harm are increasing, the established systems in place to protect them are breaking down. Faced with the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts, vulnerable families suffer multiple hardships. Schools are closed an...d families have been pushed to the brink of poverty, sometimes having been denied the opportunity to protect and provide for their children.
The report provides an in-depth analysis of 19 Humanitarian Response Plans and Refugee Response Plans from 2019

The Facilitator’s Guide for the basic-needs based Response Options Analysis and Planning (ROAP) is a step-by-step guide comprising tools and templates to carry out a multi-sectoral response analysis and planning of response options, in a sudden-onset or chronic crisis.
Being that so, the Guide i...s conceived to be applied hand in hand with the BNA Guidance and Toolbox, and other assessments methodologies. It is expected to assist in analysing data from different sources - including humanitarian staff’ own
knowledge and experience on the sector, cash, protection matters - to come up with response decisions

It is a pressing question for donors and NGOs alike: is funding development and humanitarian work in fragile and conflict-affected states (FCAS) the equivalent of pouring money into a bottomless pit, if achievements are only going to be undone by further cycles of violence? There is, of course, a st...rong humanitarian imperative to meet the needs of those caught up in violence. However, if the long-term aim of humanitarian and development efforts is the reduction of poverty, it begs the question: what contribution can these programmes make to building peace and stability – and thus increase their own effectiveness and sustainability?

The Facilitator's Guide has been piloted in Borno (Nigeria) and in Fafan zone (Somali region, Ethiopia) and improved iteratively after each test.
What does the ROAP have that you won't find in other methodologies?
It is based on holistic, people-centred approaches that span across sectors an...d consider people's perceptions, priorities, ways of coping, and assistance preferences.
It introduces the concepts of inter-sector needs profile and inter-sector causal analysis, and how to use these to articulate shared objectives and better integrated and holistic response packages, as opposed to siloed plans.
It introduces the concept of basic needs basket, and how to define the BN basket based on both households' perspective and sector experts' opinions, and acknowledging that needs have different frequencies and timings, and units of analysis (individual, household, community).

A global hunger crisis -- fuelled by conflict, economic turbulence and climate-related shocks -- has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of people experiencing food insecurity and hunger has risen since the onset of the pandemic. The IRC estimates that the economic downturn alone w...ill drive the number of hungry people up by an additional 35 million in 2021. Without drastic action, the economic downturn caused by COVID-19 will suspend global progress towards ending hunger by at least five years.
