HEALTH: Shame and Pain Torment Fistula Sufferers

Mithre J. Sandrasagra

UNITED NATIONS, Mar 3 2006 (IPS) – Obstetric fistula is a preventable and treatable injury caused by several days of obstructed labour, without timely medical intervention. But the consequences of the pervasive disability are life shattering the baby usually dies, and the woman is left with chronic incontinence.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that more than two million women are living with fistula in developing countries and an additional 50,000 to 100,000 new cases occur each year.

These WHO estimates are based on the number of women seeking treatment, and are likely to be gross underestimates.

The estimates were also made in 1989.

There are no new statistics because the problem of fistula is a neglec…

Fulgence Zamblé

ABIDJAN, Nov 28 2006 (IPS) – Education officials in Côte d Ivoire are revising how children are taught about the dangers of HIV/AIDS in the West African country, this as statistics from June 2006 show prevalence in schools to be at four percent.
The national HIV prevalence rate is 4.7 percent, also according to the 2006 figures down from seven percent in 1991.

In the past, we contented ourselves with mentioning the wearing of condoms or with skimming over the issue during class, Méa Kouadio, a technical advisor to the national education minister, told IPS. But now, he added, officials are urgently promoting abstinence for young people and condom use by adults through a new curriculum adopted for the 2006-2007 school year.

The new programme…

BRAZIL: Northeast Trades Drought for Floods

Mario Osava

RIO DE JANEIRO, Apr 10 2008 (IPS) – The northeast of Brazil, known for its droughts and poverty, has been drenched by torrential rains since early March. Floods have left over 400,000 people homeless and 33 dead, but the abnormal conditions are not due to global warming, according to meteorologists.
Rare rainy seasons like this one have been observed since the 19th century, whenever the cyclical La Niña climate phenomenon occurs, bringing cooler surface waters to the Pacific ocean and warmer temperatures to the Atlantic, said Lincoln Alves, a meteorologist at the Centre for Weather Forecasting and Climate Studies (CPTEC).

This combination of ocean conditions favours the formation of a low pressure belt on land in the equatorial region, known as the Intert…

WASHINGTON DC, May 26 2017 (IPS) – As World Hunger Day May 28 approaches, it is time for us all to redouble our efforts to reach the goal of Zero Hunger by prioritizing the battle against micronutrient deficiency.

AMSTERDAM, May 6 2020 (IPS) – Interruptions to vaccination programmes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could result in new waves of measles or polio outbreaks, health experts warn.

A growing number of one-off immunisation campaigns and national routine vaccine introductions are being delayed amid social distancing and other measures to curb the spread of SARS-CoV-2, leaving millions unprotected.

With both preventive campaigns and routine immunisations impacted, “we’ll have an increasing number of children who will become susceptible to vaccine-preventable diseas…
