Gender-based violence, including rape is a problem throughout the world, occurring in every society, country and region. Refugees and internally displaced people are particularly at risk of this violation during every phase of an emergency situation. The systematic use of sexual violence as a method... of warfare is well documented and constitutes a grave breach of international humanitarian law.

Lettre du Saint-Pére Francois
Oxfam’s report found that Covid-19 has the potential to increase economic inequality in almost every country at once, the first time this has happened since records began over a century ago. It sets out how a rigged economy is enabling a super-rich elite to amass wealth in the middle of the worst ...recession since the Great Depression, while billions of people are struggling amid the worst job crisis in over 90 years. Unless rising inequality is tackled, half a billion more people could be living in poverty on less than $5.50 (£4.00) a day in 2030, than at the start of the pandemic.

La salud mental es de vital importancia para todas las personas, en todas partes. En todo el mundo, las necesidades en materia de salud mental son muchas, pero la respuesta es insuficiente e inadecuada. El Informe mundial sobre la salud mental: Transformar la salud mental para todos ha sido concebid...o para inspirar y fundamentar una mejor salud mental para todas las personas. Al basarse en los datos disponibles más recientes, mostrar ejemplos de buenas prácticas en todo el mundo y transmitir la experiencia de las propias personas, en este informe se pone de relieve por qué es necesario el cambio y dónde, y cuál es la mejor manera de lograrlo. En el informe se insta a todas las partes interesadas a que colaboren para profundizar en el compromiso y el valor que se atribuye a la salud mental, reconfigurar los entornos que influyen en la salud mental y fortalecer los sistemas de atención de la salud mental. La salud mental es mucho más que la ausencia de enfermedad: es una parte intrínseca de nuestra salud y bienestar individual y colectivo. Como se muestra en el presente Informe mundial sobre la salud mental, para alcanzar los objetivos mundiales establecidos en el Plan de acción integral sobre salud mental 2013‑2030 de la OMS y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible debemos transformar nuestras actitudes, acciones y enfoques para promover y proteger la salud mental, así como para proporcionar cuidados y atención a quienes lo necesitan.

It is against this background that the Ministry of Health and Sanitation with its partners have
taken the lead to develop Essential Health Services Package (EHSP). The MOHS believes that the
development of EHSP; defining the services that should be available at each level of care
(community to ...tertiary level), for each age cohort, and across each public health functions, not
only allows for more effective and equitable health service delivery, but also for the
establishment of a functional referral system and allocation of appropriate investments for high
impact interventions. The package is expected to set precedence in defining ‘essential’ set of
services for the population in Sierra Leone, structurally promoting integration of health services,
and providing succinct guidance to partners and stakeholders on the country priorities.
