This report summarizes the latest scientific knowledge on the links between exposure to air pollution and adverse health effects in children. It is intended to inform and motivate individual and collective action by health care professionals to prevent damage to children’s health from exposure to ...air pollution.

Grâce à ses actions directes et à son réseau, il peut façonner l'écosystème du paludi...sme et avoir un impact au niveau des pays. Dans cette optique, le Programme mondial de lutte contre le paludisme a élaboré une stratégie opérationnelle décrivant ses priorités pour la période 2024-2030 et les 4 leviers stratégiques pour contrôler et éliminer le paludisme qui relèvent de manière décisive du mandat du Programme : normes et critères, nouveaux outils et innovation, informations stratégiques axées sur les résultats et leadership.
