"Le Manuel de l’OMS pour la gestion de l’aspect santé publique des accidents chimiques a pour objet de passer en revue l’ensemble des principes et des rôles qui sont ceux de la santé publique dans la gestion des ... et des situations d’urgence d’origine chimique. Tout en apportant ce type d’information pour chaque phase du cycle de gestion des situations d’urgence, notamment en ce qui concerne la prévention, les plans d’urgence, la préparation, la détection et l’alerte, l’intervention et le rétablissement de la situation, les auteurs admettent que la gestion des accidents et des situations d’urgence de nature chimique nécessite une approche pluridisciplinaire et plurisectorielle et que le secteur de la santé est susceptible de jouer un rôle complémentaire influent, voire le rôle de chef de file, aux différents stades du processus de gestion. Le manuel s’adresse notamment aux professionnels de la santé publique et de la protection de l’environnement ainsi qu’à tous ceux qui sont partie prenante à la gestion des accidents de nature chimique."

Abstract
Introduction: Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a major public health issue
in developing countries, where roads tend to be built haphazardly and ...
take a heavy toll on victims—including leaving them disabled. This
study seeks to identify those factors that cause RTA victims to become disabled
as a result of their injuries. Methods: This retrospective community-
based study looked at RTA victims treated in five public and faith-based
hospitals in Benin. Disability was evaluated using the Washington Group on
Disabilities Statistics questionnaire. The independent variables were related to
the victim’s socio-demographic traits, the circumstances of the accident, and
post-crash response mechanisms. The proportions were compared using the
chi-squared test, with a threshold of 5%. Results: The prevalence of disability
among road traffic accident victims is 9.59% (CI 95%: 6.86% - 13.20%). The
occurrence of disability is associated with age (p = 0.002), occupational group
(p = 0.0077), the mode of transport used to transfer the victim (p < 0.001)
and the location of the injuries (p = 0.0035). The study also found that people
fail to make sufficient use of post-crash response mechanisms. Conclusion:
Public policy-makers should therefore focus on stepping up interventions to
get more people using both protective equipment and post-crash response services.

The global burden of disease due to mental disorders continues to rise, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). In addition to causing a large proportion of morbidity, mental disorders – especially severe mental disorders (SMD) – are linked with poorer health outcomes and increase...
Background. Children and adolescents can develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after exposure to a range of traumatic events, including domestic, political or community violence, violent crime, physical and sexual abuse, hijacking, witnessing a violent crime and motor vehicle .... This is particularly critical given the substantial challenge that PTSD poses to the healthy physical, cognitive and emotional development of children and adolescents.
