The principle of “the best interest of the child” should guide decisions by politicians whenever
children are affected. This is one of the basic ideas in the UN Convention on the Rights
of the Child. Decision makers should assess the consequences for children before taking
action. Today, this... principle is not fully respected in European countries in relation to migrant
children.

The report “Dementia: a public health priority” has been jointly developed by WHO and Alzheimer's Disease International. The purpose of this report is to raise awareness of dementia as a public health priority, to articulate a public health approach and to advocate for action at international a...nd national levels.
Dementia is a syndrome that affects memory, thinking, behaviour and ability to perform everyday activities. The number of people living with dementia worldwide is currently estimated at 35.6 million. This number will double by 2030 and more than triple by 2050. Dementia is overwhelming not only for the people who have it, but also for their caregivers and families. There is lack of awareness and understanding of dementia in most countries, resulting in stigmatization, barriers to diagnosis and care, and impacting caregivers, families and societies physically, psychologically and economically.

sexuelles ? C’est pour apporter des éléments de réponse à ces questions que l’enquête sur le comportement sexuel a été menée auprès de 806 adolescents filles et garçons dans la ville de Bangui. Huit discussions de groupes ont été également organisées avec ces adolescents et leurs parents.

L’utilisation des services de santé de base est l’un des facteurs clefs favorisant une meilleure santé des populations. Conceptuellement, si la qualité des services est l’une des explications du niveau d’utilisation, cette étude a essayé de montrer aussi l’importance d’un ensemble d...’autres facteurs qui devraient être pris en compte pour améliorer la fréquentation des services de santé. Les résultats de cette étude indiquent que pour le dernier épisode de maladie, plus de 92% des malades ont recouru à différentes structures des soins modernes et 7,4% ont fait recours à la médecine traditionnelle. Pour la santé maternelle, l’utilisation des méthodes contraceptives est de 29.5% et 73% d’accouchements ont été assistés par un personnel qualifié. Parmi les 96% des femmes qui ont consulté les services de CPN pendant la grossesse, seulement 24% ont complété les quatre visites standards de CPN.
