Globally, over two million women live with obstetric fistula with the majority of the cases
being from Africa. In low-resource settings such as Zambia, obstetric fistula (OF) is a visible indicator of
gaps in maternal health care resulting in failure to provide adequate, accessible and quality m...aternal health
care, including family planning, skilled birth attendance, basic and emergency obstetric and neonatal care,
and affordable treatment of fistula. OF is preventable and treatable, and no woman in Zambia should continue to endure the condition. It is therefore necessary that Zambia intensifies national scale up of OF management centers including
community based interventions, train more surgeons and other health workers to provide quality and
affordable care closer to the women who are silently suffering from obstetric fistula.

How the Greek reception system is failing to protect the most vulnerable people seeking asylum.
Greece and its EU partners are failing pregnant women, unaccompanied children, victims of torture or sexual violence and other vulnerable people who seek protection in Europe. These people are being put ...at risk by flawed processes and chronic understaffing in EU ‘hotspot’ camps on the Greek islands. They do not receive adequate support from the authorities that are legally responsible for protecting them and are being abandoned in overcrowded camps in squalid conditions. Many people live in unheated tents and do not have sufficient access to washing facilities and toilets, and winter is only making their situation worse

Le fonctionnement de la prise en charge des patients séropositifs au Bénin, le cas de l’Atacora
La protection des enfants et des établissements d’enseignement s’avère particulièrement importante. Il est nécessaire de prendre des précautions pour éviter la propagation éventuelle de la COVID-19 en milieu scolaire. Cependant, il faut également veiller à ne pas stigmatiser les élève...s et le personnel susceptibles d’avoir été exposés au virus. N’oublions pas que la maladie à coronavirus n’opère aucune distinction fondée sur la nationalité, l’ethnie, le handicap, l’âge ou le genre. Les établissements scolaires doivent rester accueillants, respectueux, inclusifs et solidaires envers tous. Les mesures adoptées par les écoles peuvent prévenir l’introduction et la propagation de la COVID-19 par les élèves et le personnel qui auraient été exposés au virus tout en réduisant au minimum les perturbations et en évitant la stigmatisation des personnes concernées.
