Tóm tắt :

17 p. A report on the activities of the WHO Regional Office for Europe, giving particular attention to health needs in the countries of central and eastern Europe and the newly independent states (NIS) of the former USSR. Activities are assessed according to progress in reaching 38 precise health targets agreed upon by all governments of Europe. The report also shows why this European-wide health policy remains a highly effective tool for meeting the goal of equity in health, for emphasizing the importance of disease prevention and health promotion, and for offering a comprehensive approach to the determinants of health, including lifestyles and the environment. Activities reported include an attack on outbreaks of communicable diseases in the NIS, humanitarian assistance to the war-torn countries of the former Yugoslavia, health care reform in Kyrgyzstan and a European-wide survey of the effects of environmental conditions on health. Other general areas of activity described focus on strengthening the roles of nurses and pharmacists, reducing the use of drugs, including alcohol and tobacco, and developing a network of health promoting schools. The report also explains what the Regional Office is doing to improve the health of women and children, to strengthen nutrition training in central and east European countries, and to improve the quality of health care, particularly in view of the serious deterioration in health services in the eastern part of Europe.
