Through a critical review of public policies, current regulations, Ministry of Public Health interventions, its inter-institutional coordination and local experiences, this review identifies pers…
Mapping the global health burden of volcanic exposure
Background: Volcanic eruptions pose substantial health risks to populations living in proximity to active volcanoes, impacting respiratory, cardiovascular, ocular, dermatological, and mental health systems. With a growing number of people globally exposed to volcanic activity, there is a critical need for an interdisciplinary understanding of these health consequences, particularly concerning their pathophysiological mechanisms, epidemiological p…
Integrating comprehensive surgical, intensive, and emergency care systems into the Pan American Health Organization’s health agenda
In October 2024, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) formally integrated surgical, intensive, and emergency care into its health agenda. This followed important events, including the June 2024 endorsement of the Strategy on Integrated Emergency, Critical and Operative Care 2025-2030 by the PAHO Executive Committee. This strategy builds on the 2015 World Health Assembly (WHA) Resolution 68.15, which recognized surgery as essential to unive…
