Данный курс предназначен для работников сферы здравоохранения, оказывающих помощь пациентам в учреждениях системы здравоохранения. В рамках курса представлены в...иды средств индивидуальной защиты (СИЗ), необходимые для надежной защиты от инфицирования. С учетом имеющихся на настоящий момент данных ВОЗ рекомендует использовать СИЗ при лечении пациентов с COVID-19 в соответствии с рекомендациями по профилактике КОНТАКТНОГО и КАПЕЛЬНОГО путей передачи инфекции, за исключением случаев проведения процедур, сопровождающихся образованием аэрозоля, требующих профилактики КОНТАКТНОГО и ВОЗДУШНОГО путей передачи инфекции (то есть подразумевающих использование таких респираторов, как N95, FFP2, FFP3). Необходимо помнить, что СИЗ — это только один из компонентов системы мер по профилактике и контролю за распространением инфекции, который должен применяться в рамках мультимодального подхода к ведению пациентов с COVID-19. В палаты, где находятся пациенты, должны допускаться только медицинские работники, которые прошли обучение и соответствующую проверку знаний по применению СИЗ.

Revised working paper following AVAREF meeting February 2019.
WHO has published a roadmap aiming to coordinate partners’ actions and contributions to the licensing and roll-out of Merck’s Ebola vaccine (VSV-ZEBOV) in African countries. The vaccine was developed during the West Africa Ebola epi...demic of 2014-2016, during which more than 11 000 people lost their lives to the disease. The vaccine was tested in European and African countries at the time and is currently used under an “expanded access” protocol in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
WHO will expedite prequalification and licensing of the vaccine for use in countries at risk of Ebola outbreaks and will coordinate work between those countries’ regulatory authorities and the European Medicines Agency and the US Food and Drug Administration.

Policy brief.
Globally, one in five people with HIV are unaware of their status, despite considerable scale up of HIV testing, treatment and prevention services. Many of those unreached by HIV testing services (HTS) are from key populations, partners of people with HIV and, in Eastern and southern ...Africa, men and young people. Improving the availability, accessibility, friendliness and quality of services is important to address these testing gaps.
At the same time, tools and interventions that increase the demand for HTS are needed to reach people who are uninformed about HTS options and advances in treatment and prevention, people who are not motivated to seek HTS and those who are hesitant to test because of fear of an HIV diagnosis or other reasons.
