Esta guía está enfocada en emitir recomendaciones para el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de la enfermedad de Chagas, como infección por Trypanosoma cruzi, agente protozoario de una parasitosis sistémica. Metodología: La presente guía de práctica clínica fue confeccionada siguiendo los método...s de elaboración de guías de la OMS (5). De forma general, se conformó un grupo desarrollador multidisciplinario compuesto por expertos temáticos, epidemiólogos, metodólogos y usuarios. Dado que no se identificaron guías susceptibles de ser adaptadas, la guía se desarrolló de novo.

As those who have tried know well, tracking health-related funding is challenging in any setting, ...given the range of public and private sources and the many types of services and programs that fall within the definition of “health sector.” It is made all the more complicated when significant external support from donors and private charities plus in-kind donations of drugs and other inputs are taken into account. The task is made yet harder by inadequate public expenditure management systems in countries where public agencies’ capacity is stretched very thin and by donor accounting structures that are not designed to respond in a timely way

The guideline offers practical implementation guidance for countries and key stakeholders as well as outlining key research gaps. As life expec...tancy for people living with HIV continues to increase, managing noncommunicable diseases, mental health, and adherence to antiretroviral therapy is essential to sustaining treatment success, quality of life, and engagement in care. A life course approach addresses these needs from childhood through older age. Service integration supports more person-centred, coordinated care across the life course.

It  provides  clear  roles  for  health  workers  at  the  different  levels  of  our  devolved  system  which  will  ensure  a  harmonized  referral  system  with  basic  cardiovascular  diseases  treatment services available closest to the people while decongesting the county and national referral facilities.

Just over a decade out from the SDG deadline of 20...30, 3.6 billion people do not receive the most essential health services they need, and 100 million are pushed into poverty from paying out-of-pocket for health services. The evidence is strong that progress towards UHC, core to SDG 3, will spur inclusive and sustainable economic growth, yet this will not happen unless countries achieve high-performance health financing, defined here as funding levels that are adequate and sustainable; pooling that is sufficient to spread the financial risks of ill-health; and spending that is efficient and equitable to assure desired levels of health service coverage, quality, and financial protection for all people— with resilience and sustainability.
