Tb prevalence survey report
The document provides speaking notes for the Minister of Health on the findings of South Africa's TB prevalence survey. Some key findings were that there are many people with undetected TB, people delay seeking care for TB symptoms, and certain groups like men and the elderly have less access to TB services. Recommendations include increasing community outreach and testing, using new technologies like chest x-rays and mobile apps, integrating TB and COVID-19 testing, and addressing social determinants of TB like stigma. While challenges remain, the government is committed to ending the TB epidemic through multi-sectoral partnerships.

Malaria Profile: Burkina Faso
Malaria is a major public health issue in Burkina Faso, with over 5 million cases and 9,000 deaths reported in 2010. It accounts for nearly half of health center consultations and hospitalizations, as well as almost half of all deaths. Prevention efforts led by organizations like MCHIP, Jhpiego, and the Peace Corps focus on increasing access to and proper use of mosquito nets, intermittent preventive treatment for pregnant women and children, indoor residual spraying, and anti-larval activities. Local production of neem cream and awareness campaigns also aim to reduce malaria transmission. The national strategic plan's goals are to reduce malaria morbidity and mortality through improved testing, treatment, prevention and community education by 2015.
Introduction to global health
Public Health: Developed as a discipline in the mid 19th century in UK, Europe and US. Concerned more with national issues.
Data and evidence to support action, focus on populations, social justice and equity, emphasis on preventions vs cure.
What is global health?
Health problems, issues, and concerns that transcend national boundaries, which may be influenced by circumstances or experiences in other countries, and which are best addressed by cooperative actions and solutions (Institute Of Medicine, USA- 1997)
International Health: Developed during past decades, came to be more concerned with
the diseases (e.g. tropical diseases) and
conditions (war, natural disasters) of middle and low income countries.
Tended to denote a one way flow of ‘good ideas’.
Global Health: More recent in its origin and emphasises a greater scope of health problems and solutions
that transcend national boundaries
requiring greater inter-disciplinary approach
NUHM draft
The document provides a rationale for launching a National Urban Health Mission in India. It notes that India's urban population is growing rapidly and will reach 43.2 crores by 2021, increasing strain on urban infrastructure. Despite proximity to facilities, urban poor access to healthcare is severely restricted due to inadequacies in the public system, ineffective outreach, weak referrals, social exclusion, and lack of economic resources. Health indicators among urban poor, such as under-5 mortality, are significantly worse than urban averages. A National Urban Health Mission is proposed to effectively address health concerns of the growing urban poor population.

A guide for the media on communicating in public health emergencies
A public health crisis or emergency is characterised by its ability to cause ill health and death among hundreds, thousands or sometimes millions of people.
In a health crisis, the media has the power to save lives.
Effective communication can help to prevent or reduce the
spread of disease, and guide those affected towards health
services and treatment.
This manual provides tips for media practitioners on how to
help audiences during health emergencies.
It can be read in conjunction with BBC Media Action’s
Lifeline Production Manual (available online) which provides
more general guidance on how to communicate with
people affected by humanitarian crises in order to help save
lives and reduce suffering.
Public health emergencies can start quickly or very slowly.
This manual will address those that start relatively quickly: rapid onset public health emergencies.

It discusses improving prevention of malaria in pregnancy through promoting early administration of IPTp-SP in the second trimester per WHO guidelines. It also discusses trends in anemia globally and programs to address it, focusing on integrated community case management of malaria. The final presentation discusses challenges determining gestational age for first IPTp-SP dose and importance of combining intermittent preventive treatment with folic acid and insecticide-treated bed nets to control malaria and anemia in pregnant women and children.
Malaria in prgnancy
Malaria in pregnancy poses significant risks. Plasmodium falciparum is the most common and dangerous malaria parasite. It can accumulate in the placenta, posing risks to primigravid women and their babies like low birth weight. Intermittent preventive therapy with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine and insecticide-treated nets can effectively prevent maternal anemia and reduce poor birth outcomes but coverage remains low. Malaria may also increase HIV viral load and mother-to-child transmission risk. Improved prevention and treatment strategies are still needed.
Malaria
Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites transmitted through mosquito bites. Nearly half of the world's population is at risk. Most malaria deaths occur in African children under 5 and pregnant women are also at high risk. Leaders in Africa have committed to reducing the malaria burden. Prevention methods include mosquito nets, prophylactic drugs, and mosquito eradication to prevent transmission.
14 malaria
The document provides information about malaria, including:
1. Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted via the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes and is characterized by chills, fever and sweats.
2. There are four main species of Plasmodium that cause malaria in humans. Microscopic examination of blood smears remains the gold standard for diagnosis.
3. Treatment involves the use of antimalarial drugs to kill the blood stages of the parasite and prevent relapse, while also blocking transmission. Malaria prevention focuses on case management, vector control and personal protection measures.
