This comprehensive book has established itself as the most useful text for the medical practitioner in poor-resource settings who is obliged to manage surgical cases. It is particularly adapted for those whose surgical experience is basic or minimal. Importantly, it has extensive advice about pitfal...ls to avoid, and what to do if things go wrong. It is written in simple style, particularly for those whose mother tongue is not English. It is not a text which discusses the latest up-to-date technology, but it is not out-of-date being a synthesis of the best advice from a myriad of surgeons practicing for many years in low- and middle-income countries.

Nearly half the population of Sierra Leone is under the age of 18 years and the impact of the Ebola crisis on their lives now and on their future opportunities has been far-reaching: no school; loss of family members and friends to the virus; and changing roles and responsibilities in the home and t...he community.
While the priority now remains meeting the goal of zero cases, the Government of Sierra Leone (GoSL) is also developing a comprehensive strategy aimed at supporting communities to recover from this crisis, to put the country back on track to meet development targets. The Ebola Recovery Strategy – currently being finalised by the GoSL – represents a potentially transformative framework to support the immediate recovery of children from the crisis and to ensure their place in the future development of Sierra Leone.
To date, there has not been a formal process for children to outline their own priorities for recovery to decision-makers. In mid-March 2015, child-centred agencies conducted a Children’s Ebola Recovery Assessment (CERA) in nine districts across Sierra Leone to create a mechanism for more than 1,100 boys and girls, to discuss issues of concern; assess the impact of the crisis on their roles, responsibilities and future opportunities; and to formulate their recommendations for recovery.

UNAIDS 2016 / Meeting Report
Guidance on TB and TB/HIV prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care in the workplace
La Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño de las Naciones Unidas, adoptada hace 30 años, ha contribuido a una transformación de proporciones históricas. En casi todos los indicadores, la calidad de vida de los niños y las niñas es por lo general mucho mejor hoy que hace 30 años. Hoy reciben ...vacunas, se alimentan de manera sana, viven en condiciones seguras y van a la escuela centenares de millones de niños y niñas más que entonces. Las leyes y las políticas reconocen los derechos de la infancia de un modo sin precedentes.
Pero no es momento de celebraciones. En los barrios marginados, las zonas de conflicto, los centros de inmigrantes y las aldeas remotas hay millones de niños y niñas cuyas vidas no han mejorado. Tienen hambre, están enfermos y no tienen acceso a la educación. Muchos sufren violencia, abusos, explotación o descuido. A menudo esto se debe a la discriminación de la que son objeto por su raza, casta o religión, identidad de género (especialmente hacia las niñas), orientación sexual o por tener alguna discapacidad. Son los niños y las niñas que se han dejado atrás. Su situación supone un incumplimiento grave de las promesas que se hicieron a los niños y las niñas en 1989.

A Guidance and Resource Package for Country Offices for Coordination, Planning, Key Messages and Actions
Accessed: 25.04.2020
El presente documento tiene por objeto brindar a las autoridades competentes algunas recomendaciones prácticas para reducir el impacto de la pandemia del virus responsable de la COVID-19 (“la pandemia”) en lugares de detención. El Comité Internacional de la Cruz Roja (...CICR) reconoce que la prevención y el control de la pandemia resulta compleja y ha puesto a prueba a toda la sociedad y los sistemas de salud del mundo y la región. La falta de preparación, así como de recursos humanos, materiales, y financieros puede dificultar la respuesta a las necesidades de las personas que sufren de la enfermedad y la contención de la pandemia. Igualmente, se comprende que los lugares de detención, en particular aquellos donde existe sobrepoblación podrían ser espacios proclives a una rápida propagación del virus.
