DHS Analytical Studies No. 36
Una de las muchas desigualdades de género en el personal sanitario y asistencial que COVID-19 ha puesto de manifiesto es la relativa al ajuste y el diseño de los equipos de protección individual (EPP). La rápida aparición y la escala de COVID-19 condujeron a la escasez de EPP en la mayoría de ...los países, causando infecciones y mortalidad prevenibles entre los trabajadores de la salud y otros en primera línea. A pesar de que la mayoría de los trabajadores sanitarios son mujeres, las especificaciones de fabricación de los EPI médicos suelen estar elaboradas en función del cuerpo masculino y se han registrado muchos casos de EPI no diseñados para el cuerpo de las mujeres. El WGH emprendió un proyecto de investigación global para documentar los retos a los que se enfrentan las trabajadoras sanitarias.

The purpose of the WHO Manual for the Public Health Management of Chemical Incidents is to provide a comprehensive overview of the principles and roles of public health in the management of chemical incidents and emergencies. While this information is provided for each phase of the emergency cycle, ...including prevention, planning and preparedness, detection and alert, response and recovery, it is recognized that the management of chemical incidents and emergencies requires a multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral approach and that the health sector may play an influencing, complementary or a leadership role at various stages of the management process. The target audience includes public health and environmental professionals, as well as any other person involved in the management of chemical incidents.
WHO and all those involved in the development of the publication hope that the publication will have wide application, especially in developing countries and countries with economies in transition, and that in the future the health sector will be better prepared to acknowledge and fulfill its roles and responsibilities in the management of chemical incidents and emergencies, thereby contributing to the prevention and mitigation of their health consequences.
