Every year, nearly 250 million people move across borders temporarily or permanently for a job opportunity, studying, to flee a crisis back home, or for other reasons. Another 750 million move for similar reasons within the borders of their countries. With the understanding that human mobility affec...ts public health, and health affects human mobility and migrants, for decades, IOM has been providing critical health services to women, children and men on the move, while standing by governments for technical and operational support as needed. In 2019, in lower-income settings and in complex emergencies, along the world’s most perilous migration routes, in the aftermath of natural disasters or in response to disease outbreaks, IOM’s health teams have provided hundreds of thousands with primary health-care consultations, mental health and psychosocial support, sexual and reproductive health care, pre-migration health services, and much more.
This year, more than ever before, as the world reels from the socioeconomic impact of COVID-19, we have experienced that health is a cross-cutting component of overall human development and well-being.

В мае 2016 г. Всемирная ассамблея здравоохранения приняла первую Глобальную стратегию сектора здравоохранения (ГССЗ) по проблеме вирусных гепатитов. В ней б...ыла провозглашена цель к 2030 г. добиться элиминации вирусных гепатитов как угрозы общественному здоровью путем реализации (с достаточным уровнем охвата) пяти следующих основных вмешательств: иммунизация против гепатита B; профилактика передачи вируса гепатита B (ВГВ) от матери ребенку; обеспечение безопасности донорской крови и инъекций; принятие мер снижения вреда для людей, употребляющих инъекционные наркотики; предоставление услуг тестирования и лечения. Механизм ВОЗ по мониторингу и оценке в отношении вирусных гепатитов B и C соответствует подходу, ориентированному на результаты, который учитывает такие факторы, как контекст (распространенность инфекции), вкладываемые ресурсы, промежуточные и итоговые результаты (включая каскад мер профилактики, тестирования и лечения) и исходы (заболеваемость и смертность). Системы данных, необходимые для функционирования этого механизма, включают (i) эпиднадзор за ост-рыми гепатитами, случаями хронической инфекции и последствиями;* (ii) оперативные сведения, документирующие меры профилактики, тести-рования и лечения, которые включают каскад услуг медицинской помощи.

A Global Analysis of Antimicrobial Resistance and Its Drivers.
Since the first State of the World’s Antibiotics report in 2015, antimicrobial resistance has leveled off in some high-income countries but continues to rise in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where access to antibiotic...s has risen with increases in gross domestic product per capita. Per capita antibiotic consumption in LMICs is lower than in high-income countries, despite a higher infectious disease burden; however, consumption rates are rapidly converging. These trends reflect both better access to antibiotics for those who need them and increases in inappropriate antibiotic use.
