A short Guide for Health Practitioners
Plus de 2000 enfants meurent chaque jour des suites de traumatismes involontaires ou accidentels. Chaque année des dizaines de milliers d'autres sont hospitalisés pour des blessures qui les laissent souvent handicapés à vie.
Ce rapport conjoint de l'OMS et de l'UNICEF établit le premier b...ilan mondial des principales causes à l'origine des traumatismes involontaires touchant des enfants: les accidents de la route, les noyades, les brûlures, les chutes et les empoisonnements.

Dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre d’approches spécifiques à la nutrition telles que les pratiques ANJE pour lutter contre la sous-nutrition, le renforcement de la santé communautaire et du rôle des relais communautaire est essentiel. Si de nombreux projets ont été ...développés en intégrant les relais communautaires comme partenaires d’exécution, un manque d’harmonisation est constaté entre les organisations, notamment lié à une absence de statut des relais.
L’étude a pour objectif d’évaluer le fonctionnement des relais communautaires à travers la revue des politiques de santé communautaire et à partir d’études de cas dans le cadre des activités de prévention de la malnutrition aigüe, au Burkina Faso, Mali et Sénégal. 12 projets portés par 9 ONG ont été retenus, et 8 ont fait l’objet d’une analyse qualitative. Au total, 13 villages ou quartiers urbains ont été visités, couvrant plus de 130 relais communautaires, une quinzaine d’agents de santé et une centaine de représentants de la communauté.

consequence of violence is not to be found exclusively in the area of (individual) psychology, but also
very significantly at the level of society and politics. For this reason, even a multi-sectoral approach
to supporting those affected by violence cannot stand alone: it must go hand in hand with measures
to bring about change in general political conditions, societal structures and public awareness.

Les mises à jour réalisées pour de nombreux pays ont permis d’estimer la faim dans le monde avec une plus grande précision cette année. En particulier, les données nouvellement accessibles ont permis de revoir l’ensemble des estimations annuelles de la sous-alimentation en Chine en remonta...nt jusqu’à 2000, ce qui a entraîné une importante révision à la baisse du nombre de personnes sous-alimentées dans le monde. Néanmoins, la révision confirme la tendance signalée dans les éditions précédentes: le nombre de personnes touchées par la faim dans le monde est en lente augmentation depuis 2014.

Psychological first aid (PFA) is a method of helping people in distress so they feel calm and supported to cope better with their challenges. It is a way of assisting someone to manage their situation and make informed decisions. The basis of psychological first aid is caring about the person in dis...tress and showing empathy. It involves paying attention to reactions, active listening and, if needed, practical assistance, such as problem solving, help to access basic needs or referring to further options for assistance. PFA helps normalize worry and other emotions, PFA also promotes healthy coping and provides feelings of safety, calming, and hope. These guidelines can be used by Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies to set up and run different kind of remote services for the public during the time of a COVID-19 response. It should be noted that the target group for the guidelines are adults.

A sanitary inspection is a simple, on-site evaluation (traditionally using a checklist) to help identify and support the management of priority risk factors that may lead to contamination of a drinking-water supply. Sanitary inspections are a well-established and widely-applied practice. They can su...pport water safety planning, and in some contexts, may be a simplified alternative to water safety plans.
This publication presents the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) sanitary inspection packages.
