How to cut child mortality in half again
The gap between what primary healthcare (PHC) could achieve and what it currently delivers remains wide. Preventable child deaths remain a reality, particularly in underserved communities, and hard-won gains risk being reversed by diminishing attention. Making PHC work for children and adolescents requires clear, evidence-based standards, supportive health systems, and community-driven engagement. The WHO Pocket Book of Primary Health Care for Ch…
Priorities for child and adolescent health in Europe and Central Asia
Background: Childhood and adolescence (0-19 years) is a critical time for laying the foundations for life-long good health and well-being. To support the development of the new World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) European Regional Strategy for Child and Adolescent Health and Well-being, we undertook a European Region-wide survey of representatives of Member States (MS), child health professionals (CHPs)…
Long-term outcomes of a paediatric quality improvement project in Central Asia
Background: Quality health care is essential for reducing child mortality. A three-year World Health Organization (WHO) quality improvement (QI) project, implemented in the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan between 2012 and 2014, aimed to enhance the quality of paediatric hospital care and thereby reduce child mortality. The intervention included training on international guidelines, provision of medicines, supplies, and equipment, and supportive su…
Refocusing on the foundations
The World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNIICEF) Europe and Central Asia have jointly led the development process of a new strategy for children and adolescents in Europe - a healthy start for a healthy life - to guide evidence-based, future-oriented action across the Region. It was developed through a multi-step process, including a regional assessment, commissioned evidence reviews,…
Unnecessary hospitalisations and polypharmacy practices in Romania
Background: Children and pregnant women usually have multiple contacts with the health care system. While most conditions can be managed by primary health care (PHC) providers, hospitalisations are nevertheless common and often unjustified. The number of hospitalizations decreased in Romania at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. While this is likely due to the disruption of health services and public health measures established to limit the spre…
Hypogalactia after delivery
Breastfeeding has incontestable proven health benefits for mothers and babies [1], yet less than half of all babies globally benefit from optimal breastfeeding [2]. The recent Lancet Series on breastfeeding examines social, political, ideological, and economic reasons underlying this phenomenon [3]. Poor healthcare, including the medicalisation of birthing and infant care, is reported as one [...]
Child and adolescent health in Europe
Background: Childhood and adolescence are critical stages for a healthy life. To support countries in promoting health and development and improving health care for this age group, the WHO Regional Office for Europe developed the European strategy for child and adolescent health 2015-2020, which was adopted by all countries. This paper reports progress in the strategy's implementation until 2020. Methods: A survey was sent to all ministries of he…
Wasting resources in health care – unnecessary hospitalisations and over-medicalisation
Quality of care is a key element of universal health coverage [1]. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines it as the degree to which health services increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes; health care should be effective, safe, people-centred, timely, equitable, integrated, and efficient [1,2]. Waste in health care is any activity that does [...]
Covid-19 has exposed the need for health system assessments to be more child health-sensitive
The COVID-19 pandemic is directly and indirectly impacting children’s health [1]. Although the evidence base in this area is expanding, there is still much we do not know. Paediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome temporally associated with COVID-19 (MIS-C: Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome – Children) and long COVID are the most notable direct effects of COVID-19 infection on [...]
The integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI) and its potential to reduce the misuse of antibiotics
BACKGROUND: The Strategy of the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) was introduced in Central Asia and Europe to address the absence of evidence-based guidelines, the misuse of antibiotics, polypharmacy and over-hospitalization of children. A study carried out in 16 countries analysed the status and strengths of as well as the barriers to IMCI implementation and investigated how different health systems affect the problems IMCI aims…
