Le Plan d'action régional pour la vaccination dans les Amériques (RIAP) constitue une étape fondamentale pour consolider les progrès accomplis et offre une vision concrète pour relever les défis actuels et futurs en vue d'atteindre les objectifs fixés pour l'année 2030. Ce plan est essentiel... pour renforcer les systèmes de santé, améliorer l'accès à la vaccination et optimiser la coordination entre les parties prenantes, en veillant à ce que tous les secteurs de la population aient la possibilité de bénéficier de programmes de vaccination résilients, efficaces et équitables tout au long du parcours de vie. Conçu dans le cadre stratégique de la politique pour la Revitalisation de la vaccination en tant que bien de santé publique pour une santé universelle et aligné sur le Programme pour la vaccination à l’horizon 2030, le plan d’action synthétise les priorités déterminées par les pays et les territoires, en utilisant des indicateurs qui ciblent six axes stratégiques d’intervention : la gouvernance, la surveillance, l'intégration, la communication, les ressources humaines et la prise de décision fondée sur des données probantes. Cette approche globale et inclusive réaffirme la volonté de parvenir à la couverture sanitaire universelle et d'atteindre les objectifs de développement durable. À l'avenir, il sera essentiel de maintenir un engagement fort à tous les niveaux en adaptant les stratégies aux changements que connaîtront les pays et les territoires, afin de faire progresser efficacement leurs efforts de vaccination par la mise en œuvre de meilleures pratiques et d’approches novatrices. Toutes les parties prenantes sont encouragées à participer à cet effort collectif pour que la vaccination soit considérée comme un bien public et que la population soit protégée contre les maladies évitables par la vaccination.

The report offers a snapshot of the drivers behind the persistent exclusion of persons with disabilities and proposes a framework to build an actionable agenda building on promising practices available in the region. The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the urgent need to build more inclusive and res...ilient societies. The region has shown its resilience in recovering from many crises in the past. Today, we are at a crucial flection point where it is clear that universal policies and economic growth alone are insufficient to eradicate the remaining pockets of exclusion. A disability-inclusive recovery should be at the core of the region’s rebuilding strategy. This matters in its own right but is also of utmost importance for the sustainability of the region.

WHO Vaccine Management Handbook
The greatest risk to persons engaging in international medical emergency response is poor preparation.
The In Control handbook hopes to provide a remedy.
At the time of writing, we are living through the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, a health emergency that disregards physical borders, brin...gs into focus social inequalities and affects people on every continent. This shared challenge requires unprecedented measures and the collaboration of the brightest minds to support global health protection through this crisis and beyond. Healthcare infrastructures have to be strengthened, public health capacities and processes upgraded, medical countermeasures and vaccinations found and psychosocial side-effects treated.
Solidarity is the normative order of the day and the human species has to collaborate to face this invisible threat. Hiding and living in fear is not an option in this interconnected world. We have both a responsibility and an opportunity to make substantial contributions to a safer, healthier and more sustainable future for us all.
The existence of this handbook is an impressive example of solidarity. Over 50 authors from more than 15 institutes and organisations have come together voluntarily within a very short time to make their expertise available and enable cross-sectoral thinking. Knowledge is bundled, resources are combined, information gaps are filled. The In Control handbook is not a theoretical treatise of possible dangers, but a collection of subject-matter expertise, written by experts and practitioners who have shaped health topics over the past 20 years in the most diverse corners of the world.
The Centre for International Health Protection at the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) is collaborating with its partners and investing heavily in the build-up of operational know-how and capacity to support health crisis response abroad. This is done by preparing and enabling professionals to deploy safely across the world to assist those in need. In Control addresses the multi-faceted challenges of an international deployment. Readers will find not only technical medical information, but also insights into, for example, the fragility of our environment, the cultural differences that influence risk communication or the dilemmas arising from social distancing. Legal principles are highlighted, along with ethical guidance to ensure that our actions and decisions correspond to the highest moral standards.

This report is not a country scorecard. Rather, its purpose is to act as a compass to guide progress towards health in the SDGs.
There has been a significant improvement in the state of health in the region with healthy life expectancy - time spent in full health - in the region increasing from 50....9 years to 53.8 between 2012 and 2015 - the most marked increase of any region in the world.
What is making Africans sick is changing. The top killers are still lower respiratory infections, HIV and diarrhoeal disease and countries have routinely focused on preventing and treating this trio, often through specialized programmes. The payoff has been significant declines in deaths due to these diseases. There has been a 50% reduction in the burden of disease caused by what have been the top 10 killers since 2000 and death rates have dropped from 87.7 to 51.1 deaths per 100,000 persons between 2000 and 2015...
