Le présent document résume les orientations de santé publique actuelles de l’OMS pour la surveillance de la maladie à coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) chez l’homme due à une infection par le coronavirus 2 du syndrome respiratoire aigu sévère (SARS-Co...V-2) (ci-après  désignée  « surveillance  de  la  COVID-19 »).

Conformément aux recommandations de l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS), des listes nationales de médicaments essentiels sont régulièrement révisées, puis mises à la disposition de...s praticiens de la santé et des utilisateurs. La présente liste prend en compte les dernières orientations et directives applicales au Burkina Faso.

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.

The latest operational handbook includes the new classes recommended by WHO.

The operational handbook provides practical information on existing and new tests recommended by WHO, step-by-step advice on implementing and scale-up testing to achieve local and national impact and lastly, model diagnostic algorithms, which are updated to incorporate the latest recommendations. An overview of budgetary considerations and information sheets on each of the newly recommended tests is provided.

It highlights the need for fast, accurate, and easy-to-use tests for early outbreak detection in resource-limited settings. The document sets desired and acceptable ...performance criteria, including high sensitivity and specificity, rapid results (under 15 minutes), and usability by non-laboratory personnel. The tests should be affordable, stable in extreme conditions, and require minimal training. The goal is to enhance cholera surveillance and outbreak response, ensuring quick containment and improved public health outcomes.
