| AIEPI La Atención Integrada a las Enfermedades Prevalentes de la Infancia (AIEPI) es una estrategia elaborada por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y el Fondo de las Naciones Unidas para la Infancia (UNICEF), que fue presentada en 1996 como la principal estrategia para mejorar la salud en la niñez. Enfoca la atención de los menores de cinco años en su estado de salud más que en las enfermedades que ocasionalmente pueden afectarlos. De este modo, reduce las oportunidades perdidas de detección precoz y tratamiento de enfermedades que pueden pasar inadvertidas para los padres y para el personal de salud, con el consiguiente riesgo de agravarse y de presentar complicaciones. La AIEPI incorpora, además, un fuerte contenido preventivo y de promoción de la salud como parte de la atención. Así contribuye, entre otros beneficios, a aumentar la cobertura de vacunación y a mejorar el conocimiento y las prácticas de cuidado y atención de los menores de cinco años en el hogar, de forma de contribuir a un crecimiento y desarrollo saludables http://www.paho.org/spanish/ad/dpc/cd/imci-aiepi.htm | ||

| Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) is a strategy formulated by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), presented in 1996 as the principal strategy to improve child health. It focuses on the care of children under five, not only in terms of their overall health status but also on the diseases that may occasionally affect them. Thus, it reduces missed opportunities for early detection and treatment of diseases that can escape the notice of both parents and health workers, with the consequent risk of the illness becoming worse and complications arising. In addition, IMCI incorporates a strong component of prevention and health promotion as an integral part of care. Thus, among other benefits, it helps increase vaccination coverage and improve knowledge and home-care practices for children under five, subsequently contributing to growth and healthy development. http://www.paho.org/english/hcp/hct/imci/imci-aiepi.htm | ||

| Médicos Sin Fronteras - Colombia Desde hace 50 años, Colombia vive sumida en un incesante conflicto que ha causado el desplazamiento de más de dos millones de personas. Mientras los habitantes de aldeas aisladas ven cortado su acceso a los servicios de salud más básicos, los que han huido para refugiarse en barrios urbanos marginales viven sumidos en la pobreza, la enfermedad y la violencia. Muchas personas en todo el país sufren trastornos mentales y traumas agudos tras haber sido testigos o víctimas de incidentes violentos. Pero las zonas más afectadas por el conflicto están aisladas y raramente reciben la visita de trabajadores sanitarios.Now in its fifth decade, ongoing violent conflict in Colombia has caused the displacement of over two million people. Whilst many people in remote villages find themselves cut off from basic healthcare services, including immunisation programs, those who have fled to urban shantytowns are subject to poverty, disease and rampant violence. Many people throughout the country are also suffering from mental disorders including acute trauma caused by witnessing or being victims of violent events, but areas affected by violence are often isolated and rarely benefit from visits by healthcare workers. http://www.msf.es/proyectos/america/colombia/Colombia.asp | ||
