PLEASE CONTRIBUTE AND SUPPORT UNICEF !

Your contribution helps for following program :

Primary Health Care Programme

The major thrust of the Health Programme is three-fold: (1) increase vaccination coverage rates; (2) promote health care at district and community level through the Bamako Initiative; (3) build capacities at national, district and community levels. In reproductive health, UNICEF plays a complimentary role to UNFPA. UNICEF is a member of the thematic group UNAIDS, which undertakes joint programming in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Following completion of the household survey on micronutrient
deficiencies, UNICEF has resumed its support to the Ministry of Health with Vitamin A supplements, benefiting children under five and women at the post-natal stage.

Capacity building is an important component of the Programme. In 2000, training was provided to health authorities and youth in the areas of immunisation management, HIV/AIDS and breast-feeding.

Immunization is the oldest component. The programme is implemented through a combination of fixed (hospitals, health centers) and mobile services.
UNICEF and WHO have long supported the mobile vaccination team with vaccines, cold chain and other logistical support. A national vaccination survey commissioned by the Ministry of Health in 1998, UNICEF and WHO showed show slightly dropping coverage rates for most antigens, with measles coverage dropping to 59 %. However, most coverage rates still compare very favorably with other sub-Saharan countries. In 1999, an accelerated measles campaign was carried out by the health authorities supported by WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA and UNDP, immunizing over 90 % of children
between 9 months and 14 years old. This year, UNICEF and Who will again support a new vaccination coverage survey. In 2000, UNICEF continued to procure vaccines, immunization materials and equipment for a total of $ 38,000. Another important development is the participation of the Health Sector in the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), an initiative by WHO and UNICEF, with an initial funding of $ 750 million by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Several donor governments have expressed interest in participating. GAVI is an opportunity to reinforce the immunization programme through the introduction of new vaccines such as Hepatitis B.

Presently, the Ministry is elaborating a medium term Plan of Action. The Ministry has actively endorsed Roll Back Malaria. Meanwhile, the United States, Taiwan and Portugal have sent technical teams to assess the malaria situation. In September, these teams will link with the other donors,
including UNICEF and WHO, in order to establish a concerted plan of action.
The Bamako Initiative is now a well-accepted approach to primary health care. The strategy aims to involve communities in managing their own primary health care based on a cost recovery scheme. UNICEF continued to focus its efforts on the district of Lemba, supporting the construcution of
six health posts. In addition, Nuova Fronteira has activities in water, environmental sanitation and education in several communities of that district. Zatona/Adil is UNICEF´s partner in training local health committees and in general, in the promotion of a better understanding and acceptance of the strategy by the communities. In the districts of Agua Grande, Cantagalo and the island of Principe, BI is being applied on a pilot basis.

Some constraints to be overcome in BI are: weak financial management on the part of health committees, poor pay of health workers and irrational use of drugs.

In reproductive health, UNICEF completed its support to the central maternity with the procurement of materials. Traditional birth attendants were provided with kits. The challenge is to link reproductive health to the Bamako Initiative and integrated child disease management. A technical WHO mission came to prepare the terms of reference for a comprehensive evaluation of the National Reproductive Health Programme, in which UNICEF will be a full partner.

At present, the National Institute for Statistics and UNICEF are conducting a Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey at household level. The Survey is mostly directed to health indicators. Its results will be published at the end of December and its data will serve as input to the End of Decade Review by the Secretary General in September 2001. The Survey is expected to contribute substantially to national social planning. The findings are certain to be reinforced by the upcoming Census in 2001.

Most HIV/AIDS interventions are channeled through the United Nations theme group UNAIDS. UNAIDS has established a technical group, which plays an advisory role to the Heads of Agencies. In 1999, UNICEF supported the Programa Nacional de Luta contra SIDA with the realisation of radio
programming and screening of films at schools. The UN agencies have commissioned a survey on HIV/AIDS prevalence, to begin in September 2000. The results of the survey will form the basis of a national plan of action.

Febre Amarela e Malária ou Paludismo ,outras doenças tropicais!

Todos sabemos que os países tropicais nsão favoráveis ao surgimento de algumas doenças perigosas.

Fomos a uma consulta no Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical e recebidos pela simpática Dra. Rosa Teodósio fizemos então a vacinação da Febre Amarela e aproveitámos para actualizar a vacina do Tétano. Iniciámos também a Profilaxia do Paludismo ou Malária com comprimidos Mephaquin, este comprimido deve ser tomado 1 semana antes da partida e depois nas semanas seguintes após a chegada.

Mas devem ser seguidas um inúmero de regras e recomendações tais como a utilização de repelentes e is very important for anyone to page is dedicated for Our support, it´s It's necessary to have the International Certificate of Vaccination or REvaccination against Yellow fever.

Febre Amarela - Doença infecciosa tropical caracterizada por calafrios, febre icterícia. É transmitida ao homem pela picada do mosquito Stegomia fasciata. Os rins e o coração também são afectados. Tornou-se mais rara graças ao controlo dos mosquitos e vacinação. Esta doença é de participação obrigatória à Organização Mundial de saúde.

Malária - Doença que se caracteriza por febre intermitente e renitente. Os antigos acreditavam que este mal provinha do ar contaminado que emanava de águas palustres. Os seus agentes são espécies de esporozoáriosdo género plasmódio. Os tipos conhecidos destes plasmódios são:

O plasmódium malárie, provoca a febre quartã, com ataques de 3 em 3 dias. Pode hibernar no fígado e causar ataques esporádicos muito tempo depois de o doente ter deixado o local de contaminação.

O plasmódium vivax, causa a febre terçã com ataques em dias alternados.

O plasmódium ovale, causa malária terçã em regiões de áfrica central..

O plasmódium falciparum, provoca a febre subterçã, também chamada malária ou febre perniciosa. Como a malária é transmitida pelo mosquito, a forma mais eficaz é a profilaxia e para a irradiar consiste no combate a estes insectos.

Deve por isso evitar tomar banhos em lagos ou lagoas. Durante o nascer e o pôr-do-sol existe maior actividade destes insectos, utilize sempre roupa de modo a cobrir todo o corpo evitando zonas a descoberto e há que utilizar os repelentes ( em spray, pomada ou rolone )é necessário renovar de 4 em 4 horas, pois vão perdendo eficácia. Durante a noite utilizar um insecticida ambientador (do género daqueles que se ligam na tomada de corrente eléctrica) se o quarto for provido de ar condicionado , ligue-o no frio.

Diarreia Frequência e fluidez das fezes. A maior parte das diarreias são devidas à inflamação do intestino, com excessiva produção de muco aquoso. Esta inflamação pode ser provocada por viroses, bactérias . O combate eficaz é a utilização de antibióticos.

Disenteria Doença infecciosa, por vezes epidémica, que se caracteriza por inflamação do intestino grosso. Mais comum nos países tropicais. Pode ser provocada por um parasita intestinal molecular ( a ameba) a que chamamos disenteria amebiana ou por uma enterobactéria , e é o caso da disenteria bacilar. Como no caso da diarreiaa, a terapêutica é feita com antibióticos.
