Abstract:

The World Health Organisation (WHO) was inaugurated in 1948 to bring the world together to ensure the highest attainable standard of health for all. Establishing health governance under the United Nations (UN), WHO was seen as the preeminent leader in public health, promoting a healthier world following the destruction of World War II and ensuring global solidarity to prevent disease and promote health. Its constitutional function would be ‘to act as the directing and coordinating authority on international health work’. Yet today, as the world commemorates WHO’s 75th anniversary, it faces a h

Drawing on archival research in Geneva and interviews with current and former WHO staff, consultants and programme partners, we identify three stages in this relationship. Although since its foun

The World Health Organisation (WHO), in its global and European strategies for health for all, has provided an excellent framework for the promotion of community nutrition. Sadly, the UK government has not responded adequately in terms of health-promoting public policy. However, regional and local initiatives in the public sector give much cause for hope. Major areas for action include the creation of political commitment and the development of a new social epidemiology of food and nutrition.

Abstract:

Since its establishment, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has made important contributions to global health governance. However, economic globalisation makes public health issues become cross-national easily and poses a threat to the security of all mankind, which puts forward higher requirements for WHO. However, WHO faces challenges such as financial crisis, lack of governance autonomy and low internal governance efficiency caused by the decentralised power, which hinder its further role. This essay explores the most important challenges facing WHO and discusses how it should respond.

Abstract:

This commentary addresses the novel nature of the mechanism of standing recommendations issued under the International Health Regulations of 2005, as well as the potential shift it may represent for the WHO from an emergency management organisation to a public health risk governance one. The latter is a broader category, which could help address other global health challenges that lack sufficient attention. For that to occur, several premises must be met, and perhaps the most fundamental one is that the WHO’s recommendations must be taken seriously by its Member States. The commentary conclude

Abstract:

Irrational prescriptions can lead to unnecessary drug interactions, emergence or reinforcement of drug resistance, adverse drug reactions, increase in the cost and duration of treatment. Irrational use of medications is a major health concern increasing the morbidity and mortality of the patients, particularly in the developing countries.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the commonest ‘congenital’ disease of the locomotor system throughout the world. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) Bone & Joint Decade (2000-2010) 10%-15% of patients who are under the age of 50 when they require a hip replacement do so because of infant hip dysplasia. The background; technique and common mistakes; results; debate and politics; and the challenges of infant hip sonography are reviewed.

Ten water samples were collected and tested for Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb), Manganese (Mn), Mercury (Hg), Nickel (Ni) and Zinc (Zn). The results revealed that in the dry season, six heavy metals, namely As, Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni and Zn, presented mean values that were higher after the point of effluent discharge; while Cr, Fe and Pb had lower values and Hg was not detected. In the wet season all the heavy metals tested, except Hg, increased in values after t

Abstract:

Methodologies employed in the production of systematic reviews used to inform policy must be robust. In formulating the recent World Health Organisation (WHO) Environmental Noise Guidelines for the European Region, seven systematic reviews of evidence were commissioned to assess the relationship between environmental noise exposure and a range of health outcomes, six of which were nonauditory. Within the methodological guidance document devised for these reviews, inclusion and exclusion criteria for individual studies and existing reviews were applied in accordance with the Population-Exposure
