Cada año mueren más personas debido a la hipertensión que por cualquier otra causa; esta cifra, de alrededor de 10 millones de personas, es superior a la de las muertes causadas por todas las enfermedades infecciosas combinadas. La reducción de la presión arterial previene los accidentes cerebrovasculares, el infarto del miocardio, el daño renal y otros problemas de salud. Cerca de 1400 millones de personas en todo el mundo sufren de hipertensión, pero apenas 14% de ellas han logrado controlarla, lo que equivale a aproximadamente de una persona de cada siete. Sin embargo, los prestadores de servicios de salud en países de ingresos bajos y altos, en zonas urbanas y rurales y en los distintos sistemas de salud han demostrado que es posible lograr un nivel más alto de control. En Canadá se ha alcanzado casi el 70% de control en todo el país, mientras que en Barbados y Malawi se ha comprobado que es posible aumentar en forma rápida las tasas de control.

These are some examples of the practical advice and recommendations offered in the Guide for Effective Aid. It provides strong evidence that humanitarian assistance can considerably benefit a country ravaged by disaster if it responds with real needs. Likewise, when responding with unsolicited donations, or when donors have a misguided view of those needs, it can also become a burden. This new Guide combines and updates several publications that PAHO has published in the last 15 years. We hope their recommendations and principles will help donors and beneficiaries in making their decision

"This 2019 edition of the Regional Road Safety report presents the latest available data covering a range of road safety issues. Key data from WHO's global report informs the comprehensive survey results gathered from 30 of the 35 countries of the Americas. The results indicate that current trends will prohibit the Region from meeting the SDG target to halve the number of road deaths. To reduce road traffic injuries and meet the global goals, road safety must be prioritized as a key policy issue in each country of the Americas, as road traffic deaths in the Region account for 11% of global road traffic deaths. Compounding the safety risks, current law enforcement and surveillance of safety standards is rated as insufficient by most responding countries. The evidence clearly shows that implementing and properly enforcing legislation targeted to key risk factors has proven to be effective in reducing traffic injuries and fatalities. These best=practice criteria are used to assess individual country progress in creating and enforcing legislation to ensure safe roads. This status report is part of the ongoing effort to improve monitoring and increase access to road traffic data, which will allow countries to better assess road traffic risks and prioritize effective interventions. In so doing, the Americas will strive to reduce injuries and provide safe roads for all to use"--Back cover

Published as part of the centennial celebrations of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) in Brazil, this book brings together texts by several national public health personalities, telling the rich history about the challenges and struggles that have changed the demographic and epidemiological profiles of the country during the 20th century. The work also brings an account of the work carried out by Opas, since its foundation in 1902, when infectious diseases were its focus of attention, until today, when the spectrum of diseases has become more complex. In addition to a very detailed historical path, the book presents contributions to the understanding of the health consolidation process, as a citizen's right and a duty of the State, in Brazil, which, over the years, has been able to incorporate, in the organization of their health programs,
