Über SARS-CoV-2-Testsysteme informieren das Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte (BfArM) und das Paul-Ehrlich-Institut. Die Informationen ergänzen sich, den rechtlichen Rahmen bietet u.a. die Coronavirus-Testverordnung-TestV.
Das BfArM bietet eine Liste von Antigen-Tests zum dir...ekten Erregernachweis des Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 an. In dieser Liste befinden sich diejenigen Tests, die sich laut Herstellerangaben gemäß den Vorgaben des Medizinproduktegesetzes (MPG) rechtmäßig in Europa bzw. Deutschland in Verkehr befinden und alle vom Paul-Ehrlich-Institut in Abstimmung mit dem Robert Koch-Institut (RKI) festgelegten Mindestkriterien für Antigen-Tests erfüllen.

WHO appreciates offers of contributions of supply support in solidarity with the affected population of the current conflict in Ukraine.
Please note that supply into and within Ukraine is seriously constrained by continuously shifting conflict zones, d...amage to infrastructure and potential shortages of power and fuel. The WHO priority is to supply critically needed items in a manner that is safe, secure, and responsive to the environment in which we are operating in. Access constraints require that logistics planning and capacity are paramount if supplies are to move smoothly to destinations where they are needed.

Waste management options such as recycling, composting, incineration and landfill impact health and well-being in profound ways, particularly for people who work directly with waste or live and work around waste sites.
The Urban Health Initiative (UHI) goes beyond improving access to health care and promoting healthy behaviours, and focuses on how to build cities that enable and encourage good health.

Nationally determined contributions (NDCs) serve to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement of staying “well below 2°C”, which could also yield substantial health co-benefits in the process. However, existing NDC commitments are inadequa...te to achieve this goal. Placing health as a key focus of the NDCs could present an opportunity to increase ambition and realise health co-benefits. We modelled scenarios to analyse the health co-benefits of NDCs for the year 2040 for nine representative countries (ie, Brazil, China, Germany, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, South Africa, the UK, and the USA) that were selected for their contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions and their global or regional influence.

In emergency or humanitarian settings, mobile clinics are used to bring essential lifesaving health care to communities affected by crises. Though there are standard emergency benefit packages for health services during emergencies, there are however no agreed or standard way of running mobile clini...cs in such settings. Drawing on the experiences of running mobile clinics in the NWSW and relevant literature, this manual provides a practical example of how to set up and run a mobile clinic in an African humanitarian setting in hard to reach communities with limited resources.

Le choléra reste une menace mondiale pour la santé publique et un indicateur clé du
manque de développement social. La transmission du choléra est étroitement liée à
l’accès insuffisant à l’eau potable et à l’assainissement. Les zones typiques à risque sont
notamment les bido...nvilles périurbains et les zones rurales où les infrastructures de base
ne sont pas disponibles, ainsi que les camps de personnes déplacées ou de réfugiés où
les conditions de vie et l’accès à l’eau et aux systèmes d’assainissement sont insuffisants.
En 2015, plus de 170 000 cas et 1 300 décès (TL : 0,8 %) ont été signalés à l’OMS dans
42 pays, dont 41 % en Afrique 37 % en Asie et 21 % en Haïti. C

After eight years of armed conflict in the east of the country, the Russian Federation started a military offensive in Ukraine on 24 February 2022. The impact of this war has been devastating. It has so far caused 16,200 civilian casualties and destroyed key infrastructure, such as hospitals, school...s, homes, and water installations.
Since the beginning of the conflict, nearly 14 million people - a third of all Ukrainians - have been forced to leave their homes, 90% of them women, children, and elderly people. An estimated 6.2 million people are displaced within Ukraine, while more than 7 million sought safety in Poland, Romania and Moldova or passed through to other destinations in Europe. Some have returned to Ukraine. Another 13 million people are estimated to be stranded in or unable to leave affected areas within the country.

Le Nigéria a signalé son premier cas de COVID-19 vers fin février 2020. Le pays a ensuite connu quatre vagues de
contaminations avec des pics en juin 2020, janvier 2021, août 2021 et décembre 2021. La pandémie de COVID-19
a eu de graves conséquences sur l’économie du Nigéria et a entra...né une perturbation des services de santé
dans l’ensemble du pays. Pendant la crise, de nombreux Nigérians n’ont pu accéder aux services de santé courants
en raison d’une baisse de revenus et des restrictions liées aux confinements. Les services de santé de la mère
et du nouveau-né, les services de vaccination, de soins aux enfants malades, de planification familiale et de
traitement des maladies non transmissibles ont été les plus perturbés
