This book was released on 2024-03-13 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, collective action on challenges ranging from climate change mitigation to peace and security is frustratingly slow or stymied altogether. Lack of trust and polarization--both associated with insecurity--exacerbate the gridlock. Shared, interlinked global challenges, like the pandemic and its recovery, are outpacing our willingness and our institutions’ capacities to respond to them. Why, despite all our riches and technologies, are we so stuck? How do we get unstuck? Is it possible to mobilize action to address globally shared challenges in a world that is intensively polarized? The 2023-2024 Human Development Report explores these issues and offers a platform for strategic discussion on how to move beyond narrow zero-sum thinking and support cooperation even as we have diverging interests and views. The e-book for this publication has been converted into an accessible format for the visually impaired and people with print reading disabilities. It is fully compatible with leading screen-reader technologies such as JAWS and NVDA.

This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “Transitioning to Midwifery Models of Care: Global Position Paper” is a comprehensive document produced by the World Health Organization (WHO) Department of Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent health and ageing, under the Strategic Technical Advisory Group of Experts for Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent health and nutrition (STAGE), in collaboration with WHO technical departments, regional offices and numerous stakeholders. In the pursuit of providing high-quality health services to improve health and well-being for all in the context of Universal Health Coverage, transitioning to midwifery models of care represents a cost-effective strategy to optimize outcomes for women and newborns with minimal use of unnecessary interventions. This position paper offers an international definition, describes the guiding principles of midwifery models of care and reviews the advantages of adopting these models of care. It highlights the significant role and impact that midwives can have within health systems, while recognizing the importance of collaborative and integrated care where various professionals jointly contribute to providing high-quality maternal and newborn health services.

Download or read book Target product profile for drugs to prevent pre eclampsia written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TPP for drugs to prevent pre-eclampsia Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia affect 4.6% and 1.4% of pregnant women, respectively. They account for the majority of maternal deaths and stillbirths due to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia can also negatively affect fetal growth, and increase the risk of preterm birth and fetal death. There is an urgent need to identify new agents to prevent pre-eclampsia. An initial target product profile (TPP) for drugs to prevent pre-eclampsia was developed and published by external parties. Following the identification of an unmet public health need, WHO has considered the already published TPP as the basis for developing a WHO TPP. This WHO TPP describes the key characteristics and desired attributes of preventive agents that should be administered to pregnant women identified as being at increased risk of developing pre-eclampsia, accompanied by monitoring for the development of pre-eclampsia. This TPP outlines minimal and preferred characteristics of a medicine that should: - prevent the development of pre- eclampsia; - have a good safety profile during pregnancy; - be commenced early in pregnancy (before 20 weeks’ gestation) and continued throughout pregnancy and postpartum as required; - be suitable for administration in any health care setting where pregnant women receive antenatal care, including in LMICs.
Download or read book Target product profile for drugs to manage preterm labour written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2023-12-04 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preterm birth (i.e. birth before 37 completed weeks of gestation) is the leading cause of neonatal mortality globally. Preterm newborns that survive are at an increased risk of a number of short- and long-term adverse health outcomes, including chronic lung disease, infections and neurological, visual and auditory disabilities. A number of tocolytic agents are currently in use internationally to slow down or stop the progression of labour. However, none of those has shown substantive improvements in fetal or newborn health outcomes.There is an urgent need for new agents to manage preterm birth, thereby reducing adverse outcomes for newborns. An initial target product profile (TPP) for drugs to manage preterm labour was developed and published by external parties. Following the identification of an unmet public health need, WHO has considered the already published TPP as the basis for developing a WHO TPP. The purpose of this TPP is to guide product developers and funders on the key characteristics and desired attributes of therapeutic agents for pregnant women experiencing spontaneous preterm labour.

This TPP outlines the minimal and preferred characteristics of a medicine that should: - reduce the likelihood of preterm birth and thus prevent (or mitigate) adverse newborn outcomes due to prematurity; - have an excellent safety profile during pregnancy; - be suitable for prescription or administration by skilled health personnel in any health care setting where pregnant women receive antenatal care, including in LMICs; - be commenced early in pregnancy and can be continued throughout pregnancy, as required.

Download or read book Born too soon decade of action on preterm birth written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, 1 in 10 babies are born too soon. Preterm birth is the leading cause of under-5 child deaths and accounts for over one third of all newborn deaths. A preterm baby’s chances of survival are starkly different based on where they are born: newborns in sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia are 10 times more likely to die in their first month than newborns in high-income countries. In 2012, an impressive global coalition of partners launched Born Too Soon: The Global Action Report on Preterm Birth, setting a pathway for intensified advocacy and action on maternal and newborn health. Today there is much progress to celebrate, especially in the care of preterm babies. However, rates of preterm birth have barely shifted and the burden of preterm birth remains huge, impacting babies, families, communities and whole societies through a staggering loss of human capital. At this juncture – 10 years since the original report – partners from over 60 organizations and 40 countries have come together again to develop Born Too Soon: A Decade of Change for Preterm Birth. This report looks back at the progress and challenges of the past decade and grapples with contemporary challenges, such as conflict, climate change, COVID-19 and the cost-of-living crisis. Born Too Soon elevates the voices of survivors and affected families and puts a strong emphasis on upholding their rights and providing respectful and family-centered care. The report identifies priority investments and solutions needed at scale to accelerate action; country examples demonstrate that progress is possible.
