Cancer centres are a major resource in ensuring a comprehensive approach to cancer treatment and its planning. As part of a new roadmap developed by WHO and IAEA to help countries design national cancer control programmes, this publication proposes ...a framework to develop a cancer centre and/or to strengthen the provision of services in an existing cancer centre. The publication provides the features of multidisciplinary cancer care and details the infrastructure, human resources and equipment for different services. This framework is expected to be used as a guide to implementation, taking into consideration the local context and resources.

La maladie à virus Ebola (MVE) est une maladie multisystémique potentiellement mortelle qui entraîne souvent une hypovolémie, une acidose métabolique, une hypoglycémie et une défaillance multi-viscérale. L'épidémie prolongée de MVE en Afrique de... l'Ouest en 2013-2016 a permis une évolution dans le domaine des soins telle qu'à la fin de l'épidémie, de nombreux patients ont pu recevoir des soins de support individualisés et optimisés, dont la réanimation hydro-électrolytique, le contrôle des symptômes, la surveillance biologique en laboratoire et au chevet de la glycémie et des électrolytes, la prise en charge des défaillances d’organe, ainsi que la détection et le traitement rapides des co-infections, contribuant ainsi à une réduction de la mortalité.
Toutefois, le niveau des soins varie considérablement d'un centre de traitement Ebola (CTE) à l'autre, au cours de la même épidémie, ainsi que d’une épidémie à l’autre

After five consecutive below-average rains, the humanitarian crisis in the Horn of Africa is expanding and deepening.
Combined with insecurity and macroeconomic volatility, the impact of the drou...ght on food and nutrition security has been devastating. Across Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia, an estimated 22 million people are now acutely food insecure because of the drought. The malnutrition situation is also critical. Some 5.1 million children across drought-affected areas of the three countries are acutely malnourished in 2023, with dire implications for their health, growth and survival. Concerningly, the upcoming March-May 2023 rains are also forecast to be below-average. Should these rains fail, and humanitarian assistance not be delivered at scale, food insecurity will continue to deteriorate.
Regardless of how the 2023 rains perform, extremely high humanitarian needs will persist through 2023 while a full recovery from a drought of this magnitude will take years. To address the devastating drought-induced hunger and malnutrition across the region, WFP is pursuing an integrated dual track approach; meeting immediate life-saving food and nutritional needs while simultaneously building resilience to extreme climate variability.
