The climate crisis threatens to exacerbate numerous climate-sensitive health risks, including heatwave mortality, malnutrition from reduced crop yields, water- and vector-borne infectious diseases, and... respiratory illness from smog, ozone, allergenic pollen, and wildfires. Recent reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stress the urgent need for action to mitigate climate change, underscoring the need for more scientific assessment of the benefits of climate action for health and wellbeing.

The COVID-19 HEalth caRe wOrkErs Study (HEROES): Regional Report from the Americas is a multicenter prospective cohort study to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of health care workers in 26 countries on four continents and how it is affected by several factors at diffe...rent interrelated levels: individual, family, occupational, and social. This brief report presents the evidence generated from the baseline survey of 11 participating countries in the Region of the Americas. Using validated scales, the findings show high rates of depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, and psychological distress in several countries of the Region. The spirit of the project is not only to generate quality scientific evidence on the mental health of health care workers, but also to help develop interventions (both individual and institutional) and policies to address the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health.

En este módulo, aprenderá sobre investigaciones de contactos de tuberculosis (TB).
A las personas que han estado expuestas a un caso* de enfermedad de tuberculosis infecciosa se las conoce como “contactos de tuberculosis”. Una investigación de contactos de tuberculosis consiste en una estrat...egia
de control de la tuberculosis que se utiliza para identificar, buscar y evaluar contactos de tuberculosis y proporcionar el tratamiento apropiado para la infección de tuberculosis latente (ITBL) o para la enfermedad de tuberculosis, si fuera necesario. Las investigaciones eficaces de contactos interrumpen la propagación de la tuberculosis en las comunidades y ayudan a prevenir los brotes de tuberculosis.
Para obtener información más detallada, consulte el material de los Centros
para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC): Pautas para la investigación de los contactos de personas con tuberculosis infecciosa (Guidelines for the Investigation of Contacts of Persons with Infectious
Tuberculosis), disponible en el sitio web de los CDC (www.cdc.gov/tb).

In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), urgent action is needed to curb a growing crisis in cancer incidence and mortality.
Without rapid interventions, data estimates show a major increase in cancer mo...rtality from 520 348 in 2020 to about
1 million deaths per year by 2030. Here, we detail the state of cancer in SSA, recommend key actions on the basis of
analysis, and highlight case studies and successful models that can be emulated, adapted, or improved across the
region to reduce the growing cancer crises. Recommended actions begin with the need to develop or update national
cancer control plans in each country. Plans must include childhood cancer plans, managing comorbidities such as
HIV and malnutrition, a reliable and predictable supply of medication, and the provision of psychosocial, supportive,
and palliative care. Plans should also engage traditional, complementary, and alternative medical practices employed
by more than 80% of SSA populations and pathways to reduce missed diagnoses and late referrals. More substantial
investment is needed in developing cancer registries and cancer diagnostics for core cancer tests.
