This Rapid Gender Analysis provides preliminary information and observations on the different needs, capacities and coping strategies of Venezuelan migrant and refugee women, men, boys, and girls in Colombia. It seeks to understand how gender roles and relations have changed as a result of the crisi...s and share recommendations for how the humanitarian community can more effectively consider these changing dynamics to better meet the different needs of women, men, boys and girls of different ages, abilities and other contextually relevant forms of diversity. The refugee and migrant crisis in Colombia is characterized by gendered dynamics and has taken a significant toll on the health and welfare on all those affected, but particularly on women and girls. Refugee and migrant women and girls face profound vulnerabilities as they leave Venezuela and either cross Colombia or stay in various locations across the country; this is even more the case for those at increased risk, such as indigenous populations, adolescent girls, etc.

Welcome to the World Health Organization pulse oximeter training manual. In many countries pulse
oximetry is mandatory for monitoring patients during anaesthesia. Although pulse oximetry is a simple and reliable technology that can detect low levels of oxygen in the blood, it is only effective if t...he anaesthesia provider understands how an oximeter works and what to do when hypoxia is detected. This manual describes a simple plan to respond to this situation, and explains how oximeters work and how to use them. The manual contains essential information for all anaesthesia providers who are not experienced in using pulse oximetry and would be useful reading for all members of the theatre team.

Le Plan Stratégique Multisectoriel d’Élimination du Choléra en République Démocratique du Congo (2013-2017) vise à réduire l’incidence du choléra à moins d’un cas pour 100 000 habitants. Ce plan repose sur une approche multisectorielle, combinant santé, eau, hygiène et assainissemen...t pour enrayer la transmission du choléra.
Il identifie trois types de zones : zones sources (A), zones épidémiques (B) et zones de diffusion (C), chacune nécessitant des interventions adaptées. Les stratégies incluent l’amélioration des infrastructures d’eau potable et d’assainissement, la surveillance épidémiologique, la prévention, la prise en charge médicale et la coordination des actions.
Malgré des progrès dans certaines régions, la mise en œuvre du plan a rencontré des défis, notamment en raison du manque de financements et de la persistance de foyers endémiques dans l'Est du pays. Une coordination nationale et internationale est essentielle pour mobiliser les ressources et atteindre l'objectif d'élimination du choléra en RDC.
