| standard treatment guidelines 2017 ethiopia: WHO guideline on preventive chemotherapy for public health control of strongyloidiasis World Health Organization, 2024-07-24 Human strongyloidiasis is a soil-transmitted helminth caused by infection with Strongyloides stercoralis, and it estimated to infect 300–600 million people worldwide. In recent years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been contacted by the health ministries of several countries in which strongyloidiasis is endemic for advice on how to address the disease as a public health problem. While there are no public health programmes specifically for control of strongyloidiasis, in some settings, preventive chemotherapy (PC) with ivermectin are being conducted to control lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis. These programmes have demonstrated a reduction in prevalence of S. stercoralis infection, suggesting that PC may be a potential public health strategy in areas endemic for strongyloidiasis. WHO convened a guideline development group (GDG) to address the need to control strongyloidiasis and develop guidance. The objective of this WHO guideline is to provide an evidence-informed recommendation on whether PC with ivermectin as a public health intervention could reduce the disease burden. After considering all available evidence, The GDG made one recommendation which is annual mass drug administration with single-dose ivermectin in all age groups from 5 years and above in endemic settings with prevalence of Strongyloides stercoralis infection ≥ 5%. |

| standard treatment guidelines 2017 ethiopia: Guidelines for the Treatment of Malaria. Third Edition World Health Organization, 2015-08-13 Malaria remains an important cause of illness and death in children and adults in countries in which it is endemic. Malaria control requires an integrated approach including prevention (primarily vector control) and prompt treatment with effective antimalarial agents. Malaria case management consisting of prompt diagnosis and effective treatment remains a vital component of malaria control and elimination strategies. Since the publication of the first edition of the Guidelines for the treatment of malaria in 2006 and the second edition in 2010 all countries in which P. falciparum malaria is endemic have progressively updated their treatment policy from use of ineffective monotherapy to the currently recommended artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACT). This has contributed substantially to current reductions in global morbidity and mortality from malaria. Unfortunately resistance to artemisinins has arisen recently in P. falciparum in South-East Asia which threatens these gains. This third edition of the WHO Guidelines for the treatment of malaria contains updated recommendations based on a firmer evidence base for most antimalarial drugs and in addition include recommendation on the use of drugs to prevent malaria in groups at high risk. The Guidelines provide a framework for designing specific detailed national treatment protocols taking into account local patterns of resistance to antimalarial drugs and health service capacity. It provides recommendations on treatment of uncomplicated and severe malaria in all age groups all endemic areas in special populations and several complex situations. In addition on the use of antimalarial drugs as preventive therapy in healthy people living in malaria-endemic areas who are high risk in order to reduce morbidity and mortality from malaria. The Guidelines are designed primarily for policy-makers in ministries of health who formulate country-specific treatment guidelines. Other groups that may find them useful include health professionals and public health and policy specialists that are partners in health or malaria control and the pharmaceutical industry. The treatment recommendations in the main document are brief; for those who wish to study the evidence base in more detail a series of annexes is provided with references to the appropriate sections of the main document. |

| standard treatment guidelines 2017 ethiopia: Nutrition in Vulnerable Groups Enbo Ma, Yukiko Wagatsuma, 2024-09-19 Nutrition requirements vary in children, pregnancy, and the elderly for the physiological difference in the body. To maintain good health and prevent diseases, the adequacy of nutrients is essential; and adherence to healthy diets recommended needs to be monitored. Uncertain physical, social, cultural, and economic situations limit access to nutritious intake and impact health both in the developing (e.g., wasting, stunting, underweight, and mineral/vitamin-related malnutrition) and developed (e.g., obesity) worlds. However, a healthy diet is not only determined by food safety and quality, but also by food education, nutritional practice during the life stages, and food availability and accessibility to the population. This is true in developing countries, but also in developed ones, where vulnerable groups (including people living in conditions of poverty, unemployment, lack of schooling, people with forms of addiction and ethnical minorities) struggle to adhere to healthy diets and choose cheaper, and often unhealthy options. As a consequence, excessive consumption of limited nutrients and inappropriate supplementation becomes as unhealthy as not consuming enough. In the past three years, the pandemic of COVID-19 has put significant troubles on human society, exacerbating hard life conditions in vulnerable groups and worsening their adherence to healthy lifestyles and food choices. Therefore, the nutrition and diet-related health issues in vulnerable people must be highlighted and followed up. |

| standard treatment guidelines 2017 ethiopia: Guidelines on the Management of Latent Tuberculosis Infection WHO, World Health Organization, 2015-01-15 BACKGROUND: Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), defined as a state of persistent immune response to prior-acquired Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens without evidence of clinically manifested active TB, affects about one-third of the world's population. Approximately 10% of people with LTBI will develop active TB disease in their lifetime, with the majority developing it within the first five years after initial infection. Currently available treatments have an efficacy ranging from 60% to 90%. Systematic testing and treatment of LTBI in at-risk populations is a critical component of WHO's eight-point framework adapted from the End TB Strategy to target pre-elimination and, ultimately, elimination in low incidence countries. OVERVIEW: Recognizing the importance of expanding the response to LTBI, in 2014 WHO developed Guidelines on the Management of Latent Tuberculosis Infection. The guidelines are primarily targeted at high-income or upper middle-income countries with an estimated TB incidence rate of less than 100 per 100 000 population, because they are most likely to benefit from it due to their current TB epidemiology and resource availability. The overall objective of the guidelines is to provide public health approach guidance on evidence-based practices for testing, treating and managing LTBI in individuals with the highest risk of progression to active disease. Specific objectives include identifying and prioritizing at-risk population groups for targeted intervention of LTBI testing and treatment, including defining an algorithm, and recommending specific treatment options. The guidelines are expected to provide the basis and rationale for the development of national guidelines for LTBI management based on available resources, epidemiology of TB including intensity of transmission, the health-care delivery system of the country, and other national and local determinants. |

| standard treatment guidelines 2017 ethiopia: The Political Economy of Bank Regulation in Developing Countries Emily Jones, 2020 This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. International banking standards are intended for the regulation of large, complex, risk-taking international banks with trillions of dollars in assets and operations across the globe. Yet they are being implemented in countries with nascent financial markets and small banks that have yet to venture into international markets. Why is this? This book develops a new framework to explain regulatory interdependence between countries in the core and the periphery of the global financial system. Drawing on in-depth analysis of eleven countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, it shows how financial globalisation generates strong reputational and competitive incentives for developing countries to converge on international standards. It explains how specific cross-border relations between regulators, politicians, and banks within developing countries, and international actors including investors, peer regulators, and international financial institutions, generate regulatory interdependence. It explains why some configurations of domestic politics and forms of integration into global finance generate convergence with international standards, while other configurations lead to divergence. This book contributes to our understanding of the ways in which governments and firms in the core of global finance powerfully shape regulatory decisions in the periphery, and the ways that governments and firms from peripheral developing countries manoeuvre within the constraints and opportunities created by financial globalisation. |

| standard treatment guidelines 2017 ethiopia: Safe Use of Wastewater in Agriculture Hiroshan Hettiarachchi, Reza Ardakanian, 2018-03-09 This book offers a broad and global level description of the current status of wastewater use in agriculture and then brings the readers to various places in the MENA Region and Europe to explain how some countries and regions have addressed the challenges during implementation. On a global scale, over 20 million hectares of agricultural land are irrigated using wastewater. This is one good, and perhaps the most prominent, example of the safe use potential of wastewater. Water scarcity and the cost of energy and fertilisers are among the main factors driving millions of farmers and other entrepreneurs to make use of wastewater. In order to address the technical, institutional, and policy challenges of safe water reuse, developing countries and countries in transition need clear institutional arrangements and more skilled human resources, with a sound understanding of the opportunities and potential risks of wastewater use. Stakeholders in wastewater irrigation who need to implement from scratch or improve current conditions, find it difficult to gather the necessary information on practical implementation aspects. The main objective of this book is to bridge that gap. |
| standard treatment guidelines 2017 ethiopia: Guidelines for the Treatment of Malaria World Health Organization, 2006 Malaria is an important cause of death and illness in children and adults in tropical countries, and the mortality rate (which is currently estimated at over a million people per year) has risen in recent years, probably due to increasing resistance to antimalarial medicines. Malaria control requires an integrated approach which covers both prevention (including vector control) and treatment with effective antimalarials. This publication sets out guidelines to help formulate policies and protocols for the treatment of malaria based on sound evidence that can be applied effectively in most settings. Chapters cover: treatment objectives, diagnosis of malaria, resistance to antimalarial medicines, antimalarial treatment policy, treatment of uncomplicated and severe P.falciparum malaria, treatment of P.vivax, P.ovale or P.malariae malaria, mixed malaria infections, complex emergency situations and epidemics. |
| standard treatment guidelines 2017 ethiopia: National Protection of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa Romola Adeola, 2021-03-13 This volume examines the protection of internally displaced persons (IDPs) through an interdisciplinary lens, with a focus on IDPs in Africa. The novelty of this book resonates from the fact that it explores national perspectives on internal displacement, with the aim of providing a well-grounded engagement on the subject of internal displacement, for which very little exists. The chapter authors are drawn from various disciplines and institutional backgrounds, and provide context-based analysis and examine the situation in countries with significant population displacement. The work is a timely engagement, as the issue of internal displacement has emerged as a pertinent concern in Africa. Each of the chapters in this book draw on significant context-based knowledge and on issues for which there is a need for pertinent attention across the African countries. This book will be a significant reference point for researchers, professors, practitioners, judges, policy makers, international organizations, regional bodies, lawyers and scholars in the field of migration, forced migration, and regional institutions. |
