RESUMO

Primary health care (PHC) is defined as "essential health care based on practical, scientifically sound, and socially acceptable methods and technology made universally accessible to individuals and families in the community through their full participation and at a cost that the community and country can afford to maintain at every stage of their development in the spirit of self-reliance and self-determination." For the effective delivery of PHC to occur, it must be undergirded by a national health system infrastructure that has five key components: (1) development of health resources, such as manpower, facilities, equipment and supplies; (2) organized arrangement of health resources through the establishment of national health authorities, the provision of national health insurance, and the integration of public and private health services; (3) delivery of health care through the media of primary, secondary and tertiary health services; (4) economic support through sources, such as public financing and foreign aid; and (5) management through strong leadership, policy formulation, regulation and monitoring and evaluation (AU)

RESUMO

Objective: The objective of this paper is to describe HIV prevention programs conducted by nongovernmental organizations (NGO) that are meeting this challenge. Methods: One NGO undertaking HIV prevention program was evaluated in each of the 23 countries participating in the Global AIDS Intervention Network (GAIN) Project throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. A two-stage selection process was used: (1) a search in databases and other information sources; (2) identification of NGOs that were best established and most acrively engaged in HIV prevention activity. Executive directors were questioned about staffing, budget issues, populations served and barriers faced by these entities. Results: The 23 NGOs conducted 58 direct-service programs and had been conducting HIV prevention activities for a mean of 8 years (SD = 4.45;range 1-18 years). Average annual program budget was US$ 205,393 (range: US$ 10,000 to US$ 1,440,000). The NGOs reported a mean of 4.5 full-time employees (range 0-15, SD = 4.7). Many relied on volunteers (median = 10, mean = 51, range 0-700, SD = 150) to conduct HIV prevention activities. The NGOs provided prevention services for the general community (82.6 percent), children and adolescents (34.8 percent) and men who have sex with men (30.4 percent). Activities conducted by NGOs included train-the-trainer activities (43.5 percent) and face-to-face prevention activities (34.8 percent). Obstacles cited included lack of funding (60.9 percent) and HIV-related stigma and discrimination (56.5 percent). Conclusions: The strategies used by NGOs to overcome barriers to prevention are a testament to their ingenuity and commitment, and serve as examples for NGOs in other world regions. (AU)

RESUMO

The dawn of the 21st century will see a 51 percent increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the Caribbean. In 1994 there were 105,000 cases of Type 1 diabetes (IDDM), and 913,000 cases of Type 2 (NIDDM). By the year 2010, it is estimated there will be 184,000 and 1,597,000 cases respectively. These trends are thought to be a result of rapid cultural change with a consequent impact on diet and lifestyle, which is further compounded by an ageing population. The role of diabetes education is well recognised and healthcare workers are helped by influential community members who are empowered as 'lay diabetes facilitators' and who will help to manage the condition in the community. More epidemiological studies are being made as these small island nations undertake an assessment of the burden diabetes places on their society and economy (AU)

RESUMO

Reports findings of a study of researchers and community-based NGOs in Jamaica and a forum held to build stronger bonds between persons from the two groups. Presents the objectives of the project which were to: document and analyze research efforts on women and AIDS and the program experiences of NGOs with the aim of identifying progress in research and successful interventions that could be replicated in other settings; identify the lessons learned from existing collaborations between the research and action communities; conduct a forum in which researchers and NGOs could share their experiences and needs, as well as to identify ways to strengthen communication and collaboration. In addition disseminate to researchers, NGOs, policy makers, and donors at the national and international level, the findings from analyzing the progress in research and program experience, as well as the lessons learned from the collaborative process. Suggests the need for: training and educating women and men about HIV/AIDS; collaboration among NGOs, churches and public institutions; a central pool of research findings and materials; more research; and more funding for more programs(AU)
