🇧🇷 "Uncovering the Invisible: Maternal Mental Health and Obstetric Violence Against Indigenous Women in Brazil", our latest Discussion Piece, is out now. 🔎 DPA Project and Research Officer Bárbara Battistotti explores the hidden crisis of maternal mental health and obstetric violence among Indigenous women in her home country of Brazil. 📉 Indigenous women experience one of the highest suicide rates, with limited access to prenatal care and staggering maternal mortality rates. Obstetric violence is alarmingly prevalent, with 45% of women reporting some form of abuse during pregnancy and childbirth. 🌎 It's time to listen, learn, and act. Indigenous women are leading the way; let's follow by acknowledging and addressing these injustices for a better, more inclusive future. 🔗Read the full article here: https://bit.ly/3RYkE4z #MaternalMentalHealth #ObstetricViolence #IndigenousRights #Brazil #HealthcareInequity #MentalHealthMatters

How are we thinking about the Alliance for Local Production, Innovation and Access as proposed by G20 Brasil 2024? IPPS Deputy Head Sheila Mburu joined the third health working group meeting this week to share the perspective from the #100DaysMission: "We welcome Brazil’s leadership on this alliance to foster collaboration to develop and provide access to safe, effective, and affordable DTVs – which is also a central aim of the 100 Days Mission. We believe it is essential to establish manufacturing capacity which can both respond to local and regional health needs, and to epidemics and pandemics. The Alliance will play a key role in this, and we have 3 points to make: 1️⃣ Firstly, we encourage an end-to-end approach to DTV manufacture, and that the alliance supports projects at every stage of the value chain, from early-stage R&D through to clinical trial capacity, regulation, manufacture and distribution. 2️⃣ Secondly, we welcome regulatory considerations in the concept note and wonder if this might be complemented by broader G20 commitments to strengthening regulatory capacity and facilitating preparatory regulatory approaches (perhaps through a meeting of G20 and LMIC regulators under the auspices of  International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities (ICMRA), for example). 3️⃣ Lastly, we would encourage the Alliance to consider how any operational capacity (resources, workforce, network, infrastructure), and platform technologies established through this Alliance, can be scaled up or pivoted to manufacture products for diseases with pandemic potential, and the different operating models needed. As ongoing outbreaks show us, we need to 'make the exceptional routine', taking an end-to end approach, embedding best practice and strengthening capacity for DTV development and manufacturing in both 'peacetime' for endemic diseases, and for epidemics and pandemics. At IPPS, we catalyse collaboration between international stakeholders across the product development value chain. We stand ready to leverage our multisectoral networks, and the expertise of our Science and Technology Expert Group, in support of our shared aims to make safe and effective products available rapidly and equitably."

Yesterday, WHO met with key health stakeholders to start reviewing the health system in Estonia🇪🇪 and to ensure #refugees and #migrants have access to health services. Among others, the health system review aims to: 🔹 Assess the current state of primary health care services provided to refugees and migrants and their integration into the existing health system. 🔹 Understand the health status and needs in compliance with the legal framework in Estonia. 🔹 Identify strengths, challenges and opportunities to improve sustainable access to health services for refugees and migrants in the country and their integration into health programmes and systems. 🔹 Enable synergized support across international partners, in line with existing and future refugee and migrant health policies and plans in Estonia. 🔹 Promote coordination and collaboration among stakeholders involved in refugee and migrant health. For more than two years, Estonia has received refugees and displaced people from Ukraine 🇺🇦, making up over 3% of Estonia’s population. More than 50,000 displaced people from Ukraine have sought temporary protection in Estonia so far. Refugees’ access to health services is key to ensure #HealthForAll. World Health Organization is working with the IOM Regional Office in Brussels and EU Health and Food Safety to support countries in improving their access to health-care services for refugees and displaced people from Ukraine 👉 bit.ly/47ICqP0 Also, thanks to the U.S Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migrants for supporting this review! #EU4Health

RET and Action Against Hunger joined forces to represent the Coalition of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) for the Defense of the Rights of Refugee, Migrants and Displaced Populations in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC WDN Coalition) in the Third Thematic Consultation of the Cartagena +40 process focused on forced displacement and disasters, which was held on June 19 and 20, 2024 in Bogota, Colombia. This event has been crucial in addressing the challenges and solutions related to displacement in the region. The effects of climate change and disasters increase the vulnerability of displaced populations, and it is essential to integrate gender, intersectionality and interculturality perspectives into our actions. #collaboration #civilsociety #humanrights

Women and girls facing the need for abortion at advanced gestational ages encounter numerous barriers to safe services. Restrictive laws and a shortage of trained providers exacerbate the stigma and health risks associated with unsafe abortions. FIGO's recent statement on Brazil's prohibition of fetal asystole induction highlights the urgent need to uphold access to safe abortion services, even in later stages of pregnancy. Health professionals must advocate against barriers that aggravate these structural factors. Read the full statement here: https://ow.ly/IqKn50SkAnU

One month after flooding in southern Brazil affected over 2.3 million people and displaced more than 620,000, the IFRC calls for continued support. Since the onset of the floods, Red Cross teams from Brazil Red Cross have distributed relief items to the affected people including food, hygiene items, blankets, cleaning sets, clean water and water filters. In response to the flooding, the most devastating disaster in the history of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, the IFRC launched an Emergency Appeal to support people who have lost their homes and are in urgent need of assistance. A recent study from the World Weather Attribution revealed that climate change made the floods in southern Brazil “twice as likely,” and the damage was only made worse by infrastructure failures. https://bit.ly/3yM2ITT

We’re driving impactful change by collaborating with local governments to integrate #Migrants into national #HealthSystems. Our promising practices address the unique health needs of migrants and support their inclusion in health care systems. Through our efforts, we are building collaborative networks with government and civil society to create sustainable health solutions. We focus on strengthening the capacity of health systems to adapt to the needs of both migrant and host communities, ensuring that everyone receives quality care. Additionally, we promote equitable access to health services, making sure that migrants are not left behind. These initiatives are crucial in achieving health equity and resilience, especially as migration continues to rise globally. Dive into our brief to discover how these practices are making a meaningful difference. Explore the full brief: https://bit.ly/44tWOCx
