30 DE MAYO DE 2023 Día Mundial sin Tabaco. ¿Cuáles son los éxitos al día de hoy?
POR: VÍCTOR MANUEL REYES FERRIZ

Guarantee equitable access to health for People of African descent.
youtube
Today, we celebrate the International Day for People of African Descent to recognize achievements and reflect on the need to combat racism and protect human rights, including the right to health. The Region of the Americas is home to approximately 210 million People of African Descent, or 20 per cent of the population. People of African Descent have made important contributions to health, and countries are increasingly marking history by putting more People of African Descent in elected office and leadership positions, and establishing ministries dedicated to cultural diversity. We celebrate these achievements. Nonetheless, they continue to experience racism and still have poorer health outcomes. A recent PAHO report shows that in 80 per cent of the countries analyzed, People of African descent experience increased poverty levels, limited access to health services, and higher rates infant mortality and maternal mortality. For instance, the maternal mortality gap is between 1.3 and 3 times higher in some countries. Also, they have limited access to adequate housing and basic sanitation—up to 2 and 5 times higher in some countries. To address these inequities, in 2017, PAHO Member States approved the first Policy on Ethnicity and Health and PAHO supported Afro-descendant youth to develop their health plan. Moreover, we are implementing actions towards the International Decade for People of African Descent and the Declaration on the Human Rights of People of African Descent. However, much more needs to be done. We cannot reach universal health unless our health systems respond to the needs of those systematically left behind. PAHO is committed to promote social participation, eliminate racism, and guarantee equitable access to health for People of African descent.

Cambiando la mentalidad: ¡Hagamos que el cuidado de los oídos y la audición sea una realidad para todos!
Cada año, el 03 de marzo, observamos el Día Mundial de la Audición para elevar concienciar sobre cómo prevenir la sordera y la pérdida auditiva, y promover el cuidado del oído y la audición en todo el mundo. Este año celebramos la ocasión con un llamado a centrarnos en "Cambiando la mentalidad: ¡Hagamos que el cuidado de los oídos y la audición sea una realidad para todos!" Sabemos que persisten desafíos debido a percepciones sociales erróneas y mentalidades marcadas por el estigma, y en este día renovamos nuestro enfoque para superarlos mediante la sensibilización y el intercambio de información, dirigida al público y a los proveedores de atención médica. Se estima que más de 1.500 millones de personas en todo el mundo se ven afectadas por la pérdida auditiva, casi el 80% de las cuales viven en países de ingresos bajos y medios del mundo. En nuestra propia región, se estima que actualmente 400 millones de personas tienen problemas de oído y de audición. Desafortunadamente, estas cifras están aumentando. Al ritmo actual, es probable que en 2050 haya más de 660 millones de personas con problemas de oído y de audición sólo en nuestra región. A pesar de su prevalencia y del hecho de que existen intervenciones efectivas y rentables, a nivel mundial, más del 80% de las necesidades de atención del oído y la audición siguen sin satisfacerse. Es evidente que esto debe abordarse con urgencia. La pérdida de audición tiene graves implicaciones para el desarrollo del lenguaje, el bienestar psicológico, la calidad de vida, el nivel educativo y la independencia económica.

PAHO have reiterated its commitment to the right to health for all people, without discrimination of any kind.
For World Health Day, celebrated on April 7, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) reiterated its commitment to the right to health for all people, without discrimination of any kind.
"At PAHO, we strive to fulfill this right to health by working with our Member States to advance universal health for all, including for those populations living in situations of vulnerability,” PAHO Director, Dr. Jarbas Barbosa, said.
The theme of the World Health Day 2024 is "My health, my right,"and seeks to promote the right of all people, everywhere, to access to quality health services, education and information, as well as to safe drinking water and sanitation, clean air, good nutrition, quality housing, decent environmental and working conditions, adequate social protection and freedom from discrimination, among others.
In 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) recognized health as a human right in its Constitution. However, in the Americas, almost 30% of the population has unmet health care needs, a situation that is exacerbated in low-income countries and in the most impoverished and vulnerable communities.
To ensure the right to health, Dr. Barbosa stressed the importance of addressing the historical inequalities that prevent many from exercising this right, which were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. "Socioeconomic conditions such as poverty and limited access to basic services expose people to a higher risk of disease,” he said. “Financial, geographic and cultural barriers also hinder access to care for some populations.”
PAHO recommends transforming health systems based on primary health care (PHC), a model centered on people and communities, which focuses on health, not disease. It also calls for addressing the social and environmental determinants that condition the health, well-being and health equity of individuals and communities through intersectoral action.
Other recommendations to ensure equitable access to services include increasing investment in health to at least 6% of GDP, investing 30% of these resources in the first level of care, and eliminating direct payments at the point of care.
The PAHO Director emphasized that the Organization continues to make progress in the implementation of its initiative to eliminate more than 30 infectious diseases and to promote actions against non-communicable diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. He also emphasized PAHO's work to strengthen the region's health services by introducing innovations and technologies to enable them to respond more effectively and equitably to health threats.
“Health and well-being are central aspects of living a full life and should not be regarded as a privilege, but rather viewed as the foundation from which society develops, grows, and prospers,” the PAHO Director said.
