This presentation was delivered by Dr. Rosemary Kumwenda (UNDP Team Leader for HIV, Health and Development in Eastern Europe & Central Asia and SPHS Coordinator) at the XII Healthy Hospitals Seminar 2019 (SHS Seminar 2019) which took place on 11-12 November 2019 in São Paulo – Brazil.
The overall theme of SHS 201 is, “Health for Climate: Leading Sustainable, Low-Carbon Supply Chains,” and aims to highlight conscious and sustainable consumption as a central strategy for tackling climate change. In this sense, the health sector, as a major consumer of production inputs, natural resources and technologies, has an important role to play, leading the transformation of all supply chains into the necessary transition to a low carbon economy.
Presented by H. Nakatani, Assistant Director-General, HIV, TB, Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases, WHO, at the 64th session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe.
A presentation prepared for a UNDP webinar on "Addressing the Social Determinants of Noncommunicable Diseases". This presentation highlights the NCD crisis in the Pacific, discusses the determinants of NCDs in the Pacific (with an emphasis on trade), and discusses action and future work
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) - mainly cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory disease - are not just one of the world’s most pressing health concerns but also a significant development challenge. They impede social and economic development and are driven by underlying social, economic, political, environmental and cultural factors, broadly known as ‘social determinants’.
Working alongside specialist health partners, actors outside the health sector are uniquely well positioned to address the social determinants of NCDs.

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

3. Obstacles – Governance Challenges
6 Sub-Saharan African countries are not Parties to the FCTC
4. Obstacles – Governance Challenges
Nine of the 11 countries to have never submitted an FCTC report are
African. One third of African parties did not submit a report in 2012.
No countries in sub-Saharan Africa have identified FCTC
implementation as a priority in their UN Development Assistance
Frameworks
Fewer than a quarter of WHO-Afro States reported undertaking antitobacco mass media campaigns during 2009-2010 – lower than any
other region.
45% of parties Africa reported no attempts to counter industry
interference (article 5.3)
Sources: FCTC 2012 Global Progress Report and
2011 WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic
5. Regional Tobacco Control Priorities
• Raising awareness about the WHO FCTC ratification/accession
process and requirements ;
• Building capacity for the development of national action plan and
comprehensive tobacco control policy and legislation reflecting the
different provisions of the WHO FCTC such as protection from
tobacco smoke, support for cessation programmes, warning about
the dangers of tobacco, bans on tobacco advertising and promotion
and raising taxes on tobacco products;
• Establishing a full-time national coordinating mechanism with a
designed national focal point and a national multisectoral steering
committee;
• Establishing a system for surveillance, monitoring and evaluation
of tobacco use, tobacco control policies interventions as well as
tobacco industry activities;
• Mobilizing resources for national tobacco control programmes with
the participation of nongovernmental organizations and the private
sector.
6. Obstacles – Governance Challenges
Countries that report not responding to industry interference in health
policies
7. Obstacles – Governance Challenges
Why act now in Africa?
• Africa is a major target for tobacco industry sales and marketing.
• African governments are ill-equipped to cope with the added health
burden and costs from the wave of chronic diseases that inevitably
follows increased tobacco use.
• Tobacco-related illness and premature death impose high productivity
costs and loss of labor.
• Lost economic opportunities resulting from tobacco use can be
particularly severe since most tobacco-related deaths occur during the
prime productive years.
• Tobacco is a big contributor to the factors that continue to derail
governments’ efforts to attain the MDGs.
• Reducing and preventing tobacco use will improve individual health,
increase available household funds for food and education, and better
serve economic productivity.
8. UN system response; alignment with FCTC
• Context of goal of 30% reduction in prevalence of tobacco use
by 2025
• UN division of labour on FCTC within newly formed UN Inter
Agency Task Force on the Prevention and Control of NCDs
• ECOSOC resolution July 2012 requesting FCTC support
integration into UNDAFs
• COP Working Group on Sustainable Measure to Strengthen the
Implementation of the FCTC formed in October 2103; principal
requests– Better uptake and coordination of country needs
assessments
– Technical support to generate evidence of micro and
macro-economic impacts of tobacco
– Support to align tobacco control with development planning
instruments
– Coordinated support to parties regarding counter-litigation
from the industry
9. Drivers for UN go beyond tobacco alone
• UN Political Declaration on NCDs 2011
• WHO Global Action Plan on NCDs 2013-2020
• Post 2015 Development Agenda – imperative
to link tobacco control with maternal and
child health, NCDs and universal health
coverage
• Momentum towards integrated health
responses and financing – a grand
convergence – with investment approaches
• Does tobacco control need an investment
framework?
10. Overview of UNDP
• The UN’s global development network
• On the ground in 177 countries and territories
• Administrator of UN Resident Coordinator System
• Thematic areas: poverty reduction, governance,
environment & energy, capacity development,
gender equality and HIV
• HIV, Health and Development:
– Mainstreaming, social determinants
– Governance, human rights and the law
– Implementation and capacity development
(Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria)
11. UNDP and the FCTC – political mandate
• FCTC COP decision FCTC/COP4/17
• Report of the UN Secretary General to ECOSOC – July 2012
‘UNDP to take into account Article 5 in its country-level role as convener
and coordinator…and under its governance programmes’
• ECOSOC resolution RES/2012/4 – July 2012
‘… integration of the WHO FCTC implementation efforts within the
United Nations Development Assistance Frameworks, where
appropriate, in order to promote coordinated and complementary work
among funds, programmes and specialized agencies’
‘UN funds, programmes and specialized agencies to contribute, as
appropriate, to the goals of the Framework Convention, including
through multisectoral assistance, public outreach and communication, in
particular in the context of the prevention and control of NCDs.’
12. UNDP and the FCTC – substantive contributions
Current work
• FCTC Needs Assessments and follow-up
• FCTC regional implementation meetings
• Trade and NCDs/tobacco in the Pacific
• Analysis of FCTC integration in development
planning and assistance frameworks
• Article 5 analysis
Other
potential
contributions
• UN system coordination, UNDAF integration
• Post-2015 development agenda
• Support to NCD action plan development
• Integration into national development planning
• Support to national, local governance structures
• Anti-corruption and regulatory independence
• Strengthening law enforcement, justice
• CSO and parliamentarian engagement
14. Emerging Lessons: FCTC inclusion in
UNDAF
UNDAFs should support
• achieving NDP priorities – so FCTC should be
included in NDP
• delivery of international treaty obligations –
so FCTC should be listed
• coordination of UN agencies actions – so
UNCTs must be sensitised to relevance and
responsibilities
15.
16. Wrap up - key messages
• Article 5 matters and generally needs to be accelerated
• There are ways to do it – framing tobacco as development
issue, mainstreaming, evidence and political positioning
• UN has proactive and reactive (demand-driven) ways of
providing support
• Country needs assessments and coordination of technical
support through the COP will accelerate the UN response.

Editor's Notes
Although most African states have ratified the FCTC, take up rate is lower in Africa than any other region. Nine of the 11 countries to have never submitted an FCTC report are African. Which is to say that Africa is home to nine of the 16 UN member states not to ratify the Convention.
The FCTC Secretariat and UNDP have undertaken nine country needs assessment missions in Africa. These missions – requested by government – identify priority actions for countries to accelerate FCTC implementation.
Joint publication with the FCTC Secretariat formed reference document for the COP Working Group on Sustainable Measure to Strengthen the Implementation of the FCTC. To be released November 2013.
