APRIL 2009 | GENEVA/BEIJING -- WHO is today celebrating World Health Day by focusing attention on the large numbers of lives that can be saved during earthquakes, floods, conflicts and other emergencies through better design and construction of health facilities and by preparing and training health staff.
WHO is recommending six core actions that governments, public health authorities and hospital managers can undertake to make their health facilities safe during emergencies. These include training health workers, designing and building safe hospitals, retrofitting existing health facilities to make them more resilient and ensuring staff and supplies are secure.
“With our world threatened by the harmful effects of climate change, more frequent extreme weather events and armed conflicts, it is crucial that we all do more to ensure that health care is available at all times to our citizens, before, during, or after a disaster,” said WHO Director-General Dr Margaret Chan. |

Sauver des vies: assurer la sécurité des hôpitaux dans les situations d'urgence |
|
|
|
Journée mondiale de la Santé - 7 avril 2009
 Cette année, la Journée mondiale de la santé veut sensibiliser à la nécessaire sécurité des établissements de santé. "Sauver des vies: assurer la sécurité des hôpitaux dans les situations d'urgence", le message de cette journée entend rappeler qu'en cas de catastrophe, l'intégrité des établissements et personnels de santé revêt une importance vitale pour les populations.
Établissements de santé et soignants sont essentiels pour assurer les soins de santé primaires de proximité. Ils offrent, au quotidien, des services qui ne doivent pas être suspendus en situation d’urgence, tels que les accouchements, les vaccinations ou le traitement des maladies chroniques. Bien souvent, en cas de catastrophe, les systèmes de santé déjà fragiles ne peuvent plus fonctionner, ce qui a des conséquences immédiates et à plus long terme pour la santé publique.
À cette occasion, l’OMS et ses partenaires soulignent combien il est important d’investir dans des infrastructures sanitaires capables de résister aux situations d'urgence et de répondre aux besoins immédiats de la population. Ils appellent les responsables à mettre en place des systèmes permettant d’assurer la continuité des soins en toutes circonstances.
