Fornecer recomendações sobre manejo de cadáveres no contexto do novo coronavírus (COVID-19) em locais de assistência à saúde. Essas recomendações são preliminares e estão sujeitas à revisão conforme novas evidências forem disponibilizadas.
Reseña normativa de la OMS:
Objetivos: • Fornecer recomendações para as práticas de prevenção e controle de infecções (PCI) a serem usadas durante atendimento em estabelecimentos não tradicionais, no contexto da doença do novo coronavírus (COVID-19). Estas recomendações são provisórias e estão sujeitas à revi...são conforme novas evidências forem disponibilizadas. Principais considerações: • Com uma demanda crescente por leitos hospitalares, existe a necessidade de transformar estabelecimentos não tradicionais em centros de tratamento para pacientes de COVID 19 que não necessitem de hospitalização. • Para os fins deste documento, estabelecimentos não tradicionais são definidos como hotéis, motéis, abrigos, dormitórios e assistência domiciliar. Estas recomendações não se aplicam a centros de quarentena ou instituições de longa permanência para idosos. • É necessário um planejamento abrangente antes do uso de estabelecimentos não tradicionais como locais de assistência à saúde (1). Para garantir os melhores resultados possíveis, medidas de logística, segurança, gerenciamento de resíduos e controle de infecções devem ser implementadas como parte da resposta à pandemia de COVID-19.

Nearly 800 women die every day from preventable maternal causes, and in 2022 alone, an estimated 2.3 million newborns died. For every maternal death, countless more women endure life-altering injuries, infections, and disabilities related to childbirth.
Maternal deaths are concentrated in the poo...rest regions and conflict-affected areas. In 2020, sub-Saharan Africa accounted for nearly 70% of all maternal deaths, with just 22 countries responsible for 81% of the global total. Humanitarian crises and fragile health systems exacerbate these challenges, with maternal mortality rates in crisis-affected areas often double the global average. The barriers to progress are multifaceted, including inadequate funding, poor-quality healthcare, harmful gender and social norms, and critical gaps in data and accountability.

The study collected data on the impact of HIV-related diseases on income, revenues, economic dependency, consumption, education, health, food security, stigma, discrimination, quality of life, and migration. The study also assessed people living with chronic diseases in order to compare the impact o...f living with HIV/AIDS with the impact of living with a chronic disease.
Stigma, discrimination, and socio-economic exclusion continue to affect the rights and socio-economic opportunities of people living with HIV in Myanmar. Households with a family member who has HIV, have lower incomes, fewer assets and lower home-ownership, compared to households that are not affected by HIV. They also have more household debt, and their families pay a higher rate of interest compared to families not affected by HIV.
