CDC’s Lauren Greenberg writes about building rabies diagnostic capacity in the effort to control rabies in countries that are most affected by the disease.
For IST to be effective there is need for utilization of multiple techniques that will lead to transfer of competences (Bluestone et al. 2013). Learning settings should be selected to support relevant and realistic practice so as to increase the efficiency of IST. Alternatives to hotels such as trai...ning institutions and hospitals are viable options for reducing costs of IST as well as being appropriate venues (MOH 2012). There is documented evidence of involvement of academic institutions in providing health leadership capacity building through IST in other countries; for example, in Uganda, IST in leadership for doctors and nurses was done through a blended approach that included didactic and online sessions (Nakanjako et al. 2015). Adapting these concepts, FUNZOKenya piloted eight regional hubs, each serving a cluster of counties, which would train health workers for five years (2012-2016) on priority service delivery topics

Disposer d’une information sanitaire de qualité est une quête
permanente de la DGESS du Ministère de la santé. Le niveau de
qualité des données de routine du système national d’information
sanitaire bien qu’en amélioration ces dernières années demeure une
priorité. Une des cause...s évoquée souvent pour justifier la faible qualité
des données est l’insuffisance de compétence des acteurs chargés de
la collecte et du rapportage des données dans les différentes
structures de soins. L’absence de formation des acteurs sur le SNIS
implique des erreurs de remplissage, de rapportage d’une part et
d’autre part une méconnaissance de l’intérêt des données de qualité
dans la prise de décision. Bien que cette justification soit fondée, on
est à même à se demander si c’est l’unique cause de la faible qualité des données. Certainement
pas. Le sens de la responsabilité et de l’intérêt porté à la qualité des données par les différents
acteurs aux différents niveaux influence la qualité des données. Imaginons un seul instant où chaque
mois, chaque responsable de structure, chaque acteur du SNIS apprécie la complétude, la qualité
d’un certain nombre d’indicateur. Le feedback qui sera fait contribuera à rehausser un tant soit peu la
qualité des données. Nous osons croire que cet exercice sera le quotidien de tout un chacun d’entre
nous. Engageons-nous dès à présent pour la qualité des données. Tout en vous donnant rendezvous au prochain numéro, je réitère mes encouragements à l’ensemble des acteurs du SNIS pour le
travail abattu au quotidien et aux partenaires pour leur soutien inconditionnel à la réalisation de nos
activités. Je souhaite à toutes et à tous, une très bonne lecture.

Diabetes mellitus is a leading cause of mortality and reduced life expectancy. We aim to estimate the burden of diabetes by type, year, regions, and socioeconomic status in 195 countries and territories over the past 28 years, which provide information to achieve the goal of World Health Organizatio...n Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases in 2025. Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017. Overall, the global burden of diabetes had increased significantly since 1990. Both the trend and magnitude of diabetes related diseases burden varied substantially across regions and countries. In 2017, global incidence, prevalence, death, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) associated with diabetes were 22.9 million, 476.0 million, 1.37 million, and 67.9 million, with a projection to 26.6 million, 570.9 million, 1.59 million, and 79.3 million in 2025, respectively. The trend of global type 2 diabetes burden was similar to that of total diabetes (including type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes), while global age-standardized rate of mortality and DALYs for type 1 diabetes declined. Globally, metabolic risks (high BMI) and behavioral factors (inappropriate diet, smoking, and low physical activity) contributed the most attributable death and DALYs of diabetes. These estimations could be useful in policy-making, priority setting, and resource allocation in diabetes prevention and treatment.

Women and girls have specific needs that are often ignored during crisis. While on the run or while living in shelters, women and girls continue to become pregnant, but they often lack access to basic sexual and reproduc-tive health care. Without assistance by midwifes or access to contraceptives, w...omen and girls are at increased risk of unsafe sex, unwanted pregnancy and unsafe delivery, and are at a higher risk of infection by HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. In addition, displaced women have virtually no access to protection, security, justice, and other services related to gender-based violence (GBV). For these reasons, the delivery of sexual and reproduc-tive health and rights (SRHR) as well as GBV services to conflict-affected communities – most of whom are living in protracted displacement – is a key part of UNFPA’s Women and Girls First Programme (WGF). The initia-tive is a commitment to prevent and respond to violence perpetrated against women and girls in Myanmar, and to realize their sexual and reproductive health and rights.
