	Training Manual - Psychological First Aid for Field Workers in Fiji Adventist Development and Relief Agency International, Caritas, Fiji Red Cross Society et al. (2921) CC View PDF(91) Download (105) Add to my MEDBOX This Fiji contextualized manual was initially drafted for CANDO partners as a result of the work done by the humanitarian arms of the various Christian denominations. However as the work progressed it became evidently clear that the training was needed for all responders, and not only Christian responders, and as such, the Christian component has been added as an Annex to this manual, whilst the entire manual is relevant and can be used to train all first responders in Fiji Tags: first aid, psychological support, super-cyclone, mental health problems, Health seeking behaviour, Source: https://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.in

	Framework for Environmental and Social Management Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations FAO (2023) CC Open external link (5) Add to my MEDBOX The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) launched a new Framework for Environmental and Social Management (FESM) to ensure that both people and the environment are protected from any potential impacts of FAO programmes and projects. “This Framework ensures that our projects do both “no harm” and support the transformation to more efficient, more inclusive, more resilient and more sustainable agrifood systems by upholding the highest international standards for risk management,” FAO Director-General QU Dongyu explained during a virtual event. The Framework, which includes key elements of a people-centered approach and establishes environmental and social performance requirements for FAO programming, is also intended to ensure that all stakeholders, including local and indigenous communities, have ample opportunities to actively participate in projects’ activities and to voice their concerns about them Tags: environmental health, planetary health, One Health, participation, Agriculture, food and nutrition, Source: https://reliefweb.int/attachments/7cd10d
	Faire de la santé mentale et du bien-être pour tous une priorité pour le Niger Organisation Mondiale de la Santé OMS (2022) C_WHO View PDF(3) Download (0) Add to my MEDBOX La santé mentale fait partie intégrante de notre santé et de notre bien-être en général et constitue un droit humain fondamental. À l'échelle mondiale, les problèmes de santé mentale sont très répandus. Selon les données de l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS), environ une personne sur huit dans le monde vit avec un trouble mental (OMS, 2022a). Les troubles mentaux sont la principale cause d'incapacité, entraînant 1 année sur 6 vécues avec une incapacité (OMS, 2022a). Les personnes atteintes de troubles mentaux graves meurent en moyenne 10 à 20 ans plus tôt que la population générale, principalement en raison de maladies physiques évitables. Des circonstances défavorables, notamment la pauvreté, inégalités sociales et économiques, urgences de santé publique, guerres et crise climatique, font partie des menaces structurelles mondiales pour la santé mentale, entraînant un risque plus élevé de souffrance de problèmes de santé mentale Tags: santé mental, Niger, aide humanitaire, Source: https://www.afro.who.int/sites/default/f
	Chagas Disease: Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Opportunistic Infections in Adults and Adolescents with HIV Panel on Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Opportunistic Infections in Adults and Adolescents with HIV Clinical Info HIV (2018) CC View PDF(1) Download (1) Add to my MEDBOX Epidemiology Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis) is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, and transmitted to humans by infected triatomine bugs, and less commonly by transfusion, organ transplant, from mother to infant, and in rare instances, by ingestion of contaminated food or drink.1-4 The hematophagous triatomine vectors defecate during or immediately after feeding on a person. The parasite is present in large numbers in the feces of infected bugs, and enters the human body through the bite wound, or through the intact conjunctiva or other mucous membrane. Vector-borne transmission occurs only in the Americas, where an estimated 8 to 10 million people have Chagas disease.5 Historically, transmission occurred largely in rural areas in Latin America, where houses built of mud brick are vulnerable to colonization by the triatomine vectors.4 In such areas, Chagas disease usually is acquired in childhood. In the last several decades, successful vector control programs have substantially decreased transmission rates in much of Latin America, and large-scale migration has brought infected individuals to cities both within and outside of Latin America Tags: Chagas, Epidemiology, diagnosis, Prevention, Treatment, HIV, adverse events, opportunistic infections, adults, Adolescents, Source: https://clinicalinfo.hiv.gov/sites/defau
	Chagas disease key facts International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies IFRC IFRC (2022) C1 View PDF(1) Download (1) Add to my MEDBOX About six to seven million people worldwide, mostly in Latin America, are estimated to be infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease (WHO data from 2021). Chagas disease is found mainly in endemic areas of 21 Latin American countries. Chagas disease was once entirely confined to rural areas but in the last decades, due to population movements, most infected people live in urban settings and the disease has spread to other continents. The burden of disease is due to its chronic progression with people still suffering years later after initial infection Tags: Chagas, epidemic, risk factors, risk groups, vector, trypanosoma cruzi, transmission, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, Treatment, immunity, interventions, prevention, control, Indicators, impacts, Source: https://epidemics.ifrc.org/pdf/206
	Vector control and the elimination of gambiense human African trypanosomiasis World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO View PDF(59) Download (29) Add to my MEDBOX The main purpose of the meeting was to review tsetse control tools, activities and their contribution to the elimination of gHAT and the monitoring thereof. Seven endemic countries provided reports on recent and ongoing vector control interventions at the national level (Angola, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea and Uganda). Country reports focused on the in situations implementing and supporting vector control activities, the tools and the approaches in use, the coverage of the activities in space and time and their impacts on tsetse populations. Future perspectives for vector control in the respective countries were also discussed, including opportunities and challenges to sustainability Tags: Elimination, HAT, African Trypanosomiasis, Vector Control, interventions, control, tsetse fly, NTD, Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), Source: https://apps.who.int/iris/rest/bitstream
