Preface
The world is facing a situation without precedent: We soon will have more older people than
children and more people at extreme old age than ever before. As both the proportion of older
people and the length of life increase throughout the world, key questions arise. Will population
aging be accompanied by a longer period of good health, a sustained sense of well-being, and
extended periods of social engagement and productivity, or will it be associated with more illness,
disability, and dependency? How will aging affect health care and social costs? Are these futures
inevitable, or can we act to establish a physical and social infrastructure that might foster better
health and wellbeing in older age? How will population aging play out differently for low-income
countries that will age faster than their counterparts have, but before they become industrialized
and wealthy?
This brief report attempts to address some of these questions. Above all, it emphasizes the central
role that health will play moving forward. A better understanding of the changing relationship
between health with age is crucial if we are to create a future that takes full advantage of the
powerful resource inherent in older populations. To do so, nations must develop appropriate
data systems and research capacity to monitor and understand these patterns and relationships,

well-being. And research needs to be better coordinated if we are to discover the most cost-effective
ways to maintain healthful life styles and everyday functioning in countries at different stages of
economic development and with varying resources. Global efforts are required to understand and

existing knowledge about the prevention and treatment of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and
cancer.
Managing population aging also requires building needed infrastructure and institutions as soon as
possible. The longer we delay, the more costly and less effective the solutions are likely to be.
Population aging is a powerful and transforming demographic force. We are only just beginning
to comprehend its impact ...
In the course of the last several years, millennials have shown that they are very different from previous generations in a number of ways. Defined as the generation born from 1981 to 1996, they are the largest, most educated, and most connected generation the world has ever seen1. However, recent data also show the beginnings of troubling generational health patterns that could hamper the future prosperity of millennials, and in turn the prosperity of the U.S. If the current pace of decline in millennial health continues unabated, the long-term consequences to the U.S. economy could be severe.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

1. Greek tragedy and medical hybris<br />Dr. Carlos Javier Regazzoni. MD, PhD. Fundación Pensar. Former Vice-Minister of Social Development, Government of the City of Buenos Aires.<br />As the tenth anniversary of the 2001 Argentine economic crisis approaches, lessons learned warn us that Greece’s plight , if unattended, could become a health tragedy for its society. Argentine’s recovery from the crisis has been acknowledged, providing arguments to those who minimize the consequences of a sovereign debt default. . Nevertheless, the sudden impoverishment that took place in 2001 continues to threaten the health of the Argentine population. This experience, together with other examples, such as the former Soviet Union during the 90’ crisis, makes a medical catastrophe for the Aegean, a plausible future as well. <br />In Argentina, rate of reduction of child mortality was 32% during the 90’, but only 27% during the decade that followed 2001. After 2001, child mortality reduction has been even weaker in the north of the country, were economic turmoil was more severe, almost 68% of the population falling below the poverty line by 2002. Mortality for adults too, suffered a similar disappointing course. Mortality diminished 14% for people ages 45-55 during the 90’, but that rate of improvement fell to 10% after the crisis, mainly due to high mortality of cardiovascular disease in the country. Maternal mortality provides another example of a health parameter that did not improve during the last decade, albeit a strong effort on the part of the government. All these health indicators still characterize our health statistics, ten years after the crisis and despite impressive economic growth since 2003. In fact, at the current pace, the country is not going to attain the Millennium Development Goals in health. <br />According to present official estimates, 40% of children below the age of 15 are poor. Parents of these children are young poor adults, 55% of whom have not attainted secondary school; nearly 50% don’t hold a formal job, and their health status is far from good. 52% of women in the poorest sector do not undergo mammogram screening, even when the Government provides it freely, and undetected (and untreated) hypertension is rampant among adult men of working age.<br />Life expectancy in Argentina is currently 75 years of age, but it falls to 60 when only poor sectors are considered, with technically little improvement during the last decade. Plainly speaking, it means that poor people, living in impoverished neighborhoods, are exposed to a greater risk of premature death. Many epidemiological studies have pointed out the striking relationship between economic crisis and health of the population.<br />Notwithstanding the Government has doubled National Health Expenditure, health of a great part of Argentine population continues to fall below ante crisis standards. The World Bank had warned in 2002 about the long lasting impact of the economic crisis on the health of the Argentine population. The forecast proved to be true. A similar concern should be raised over the future of Greece.<br />In Greece, life expectancy at birth is currently 79,5, and infant mortality is 3,6 deaths before the age of 1 year per 1,000 births, with a remarkable record of health achievements during the last two decades. This social capital will certainly be decimated if default occurs, a large part of the society suddenly impoverishes, and, most of all, hopes vanish. <br />In classical tragedy, the Hybris (Hubris) was the insolence that hastened the definitive fall of human being into discord, infuriating gods and subsuming everything into irremediable disaster. The only force able to stop it was sophrosyne, it is: temperance and prudence. Probably nothing characterizes better the medical thinking that temperance and prudence. The Argentine experience teaches that when analysts argue for a default they need to look beyond finance; and towards the suffering that is surely going to follow from it. It would be wiser, therefore, to appeal to sophrosyne.<br />
