В данном документе описываются шаги, необходимые для точного измерения интервала QT (QTc) при мониторинге электрокардиографии (ЭКГ) пациентов, получающих краткосроч...ый режим лечения лекарственно-устойчивого туберкулеза (ЛУ-ТБ) или режим, включающий в схему новые препараты. Кроме того, в данном руководстве представлены требования, которые должны быть учтены при приобретении аппарата ЭКГ для мониторинга безопасности лечения пациентов. В силу того, что каждая модель аппарата имеет особые характеристики расчета QTcF (указанные в описании модели), соответственно, это должно быть учтено при выборе и закупе той или иной модели аппарата.

В цьому документі описуються кроки, необхідні для вимірювання скоригованого інтервалу QT (QTc) при моніторингу електрокардіограми (ЕКГ) у пацієнтів, які або перебува...ть на короткостроковій схемі лікування, або використовують нові препарати для лікування туберкульозу з лікарською стійкістю (ХР ТБ). Крім того, наводяться настанови щодо вимог, які слід враховувати при закупівлі апаратів ЕКГ для моніторингу пацієнтів. До тих пір, поки автоматичний розрахунок інтервалу QT з коригуванням Фредеріція (QTcF) (як зазначено в документі) залежить від функціоналу прибору, вибір щодо закупівлі конкретного апарату залишатиметься на розсуд країн.

First Global Patient Safety Challenge Clean Care is Safer Care
The WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care provide health-care workers (HCWs), hospital administrators and health authorities with a thorough review of evidence on hand hygiene i...n health care and specific recommendations to improve practices and reduce transmission of pathogenic microorganisms to patients and HCWs. The present Guidelines are intended to be implemented in any situation in which health care is delivered either to a patient or to a specific group in a population. Therefore, this concept applies to all settings where health care is permanently or occasionally performed, such as home care by birth attendants.

Neonatal mortality is a major challenge in reducing child mortality rates in Nepal. Despite efforts by the Government of Nepal, data from the last three demographic and health surveys show a rise in the contribution of neonatal deaths to infant and ...child mortality. The Government of Nepal has implemented community-based programs that were piloted and then scaled up based on lessons learned. These programs include, but are not limited to ensuring safe motherhood, birth preparedness package, community-based newborn care package, and integrated management of childhood illnesses. Despite the implementation of such programs on a larger scale, their effective coverage is yet to be achieved. Health system challenges included an inadequate policy environment, funding gaps, inadequate procurement, and insufficient supplies of commodities, while human resource management has been found to be impeding service delivery. Such bottlenecks at policy, institutional and service delivery level need to be addressed incorporating health information in decision-making as well as working in partnership with communities to facilitate the utilization of available services.

The spread of COVID-19 poses a challenge for emerging markets such as those in Africa and Latin America. While governments around the world are suffering from a shortage of ventilators, hospital beds, and personal protective equipment, availability ...of these items is already extremely limited in some countries. In Africa, countries including Mali, Liberia, and Burkina Faso have only a few ventilators available to aid their populations, and there is also a lack of reliable oxygen supplies, ICUs, and healthcare workers to treat the sick. Additionally, many countries in Africa are already suffering from food insecurity and weak economies, which will worsen the long-term effects of coronavirus.
Keeping these factors in mind, GeoPoll conducted a remote study in 12 countries in sub-Saharan Africa on the effects coronavirus is already having on people throughout the region.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health challenge, which is recognized as high priority area by the Government of India. The increasing consumption of antibiotics is one of the key drivers of antimicrobial resistance seen in bugs of ...public health importance. Irrational prescription of broad-spectrum antibiotics, poor regulations around sale of antibiotics, self-medication, lack of education and awareness regarding responsible use of antibiotics have been identified as some of the key factors driving antimicrobial resistance in our country. The ‘National Health Policy’ (2017), addresses antimicrobial resistance as one of the key issues and prioritises development of guidelines regarding antibiotic use, limiting the over-the-counter use of antibiotics, restricting the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in livestock, and pharmaco-vigilance including prescription audit inclusive of antibiotic usage in the hospital and community.
