In 2015, WHO proposed the use of the Robson classification (also known as the 10-group classification) as a global standard for assessing, monitoring and comparing caesarean section rates both within healthcare facilities and between them. The syst...em classifies all women into one of 10 categories that are mutually exclusive and, as a set, totally comprehensive.

Diese dienen als Leitlinien zur Entwicklung, Umsetzung und dem Monitoring von unterkunftsspezifischen Schutzkonzepten. Differenziert nach zentralen Handlungsfeldern zeigen die Mindeststandards einen Weg auf, wie der bedarfsgerechte Schutz von geflü...chteten Menschen in Unterkünften für Geflüchtete sichergestellt werden kann. Annexe zur Umsetzung der Mindeststandards für LSBTI* Geflüchtete, geflüchtete Menschen mit Behinderung und geflüchtete Menschen mit Traumafolgestörungen komplementieren die Mindeststandards. In einem mehrstufigen Prozess unter Beteiligung der Partner:innenorganisationen der Bundesinitiative, Vertreter:innen aus Landesministerien, Landes- und kommunalen Behörden sowie Gewaltschutzkoordinator:innen und -multiplikator:innen wurden die Mindeststandards 2021 aktualisiert (April 2021).

Event-based surveillance (EBS) is defined as the organized collection, monitoring, assessment and interpretation of mainly unstructured ad hoc information regarding health events or risks, which may represent an acute risk to health. Both indicator-...based and event-based surveillance components serve the early warning and response (EWAR) function of the public health surveillance system. The Framework for Event-based Surveillance offers guidance to public health practitioners seeking to implement EBS at each administrative level in their countries.

The COVID-19 vaccine tracker:
Provides summary tables of CO...VID-19 vaccine candidates in both clinical and pre-clinical development;
Provides analysis and visualization for several COVID-19 vaccine candidate categories;
Tracks the progress of each vaccine from pre-clinical, Phase 1, Phase 2 through to Phase 3 efficacy studies and including Phase 4 registered as interventional studies;
Provides links to published reports on safety, immunogenicity and efficacy data of the vaccine candidates;
Includes information on key attributes of each vaccine candidate and
Allows users to search for COVID-19 vaccines through various criteria such as vaccine platform, schedule of vaccination, route of administration, developer, trial phase and clinical endpoints.
The database is updated regularly - twice a week (Tuesday and Friday, 17:00 CET).
