Voice of the children: Alcohol in the eyes of the young

The World Health Organization Regional Office for South-East Asia has published a book on how children see alcohol, expressed beautifully through art.

“In the discourse on alcohol, the voice that is missing is that of the young. It is their voice that we need to hear. It is they who are affected most. It is their future at stake,” writes Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh, Regional Director, WHO South-East Asia. https://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/326538

Every life matters: Understanding suicide and its impact

The World Health Organization Regional Office for South-East Asia has published an illustrative book on preventing suicide. It has 2 parts:

  • Understanding suicide and its impact
  • Time for Action. What each of us can do?

“Understanding suicide and its impact” is an illustrative book – where artists from all over India and the South-East Asia Region have been encouraged to give messages through their art. The book also highlights myths and facts related to suicide and has a resources bank at the end of each section. The idea of the book is to encourage public discussion, break the shackles of silence and – pull ‘suicide’ out of the dark corners – laden with stigma and lack of knowledge to prevent it.

“Suicides are preventable, and it is time to take action. Every country today should have a national suicide prevention strategy. Early interventions, crisis response, and culturally relevant aftercare and recovery are vital to addressing this global public health problem.” writes Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh, Regional Director, WHO South-East Asia. https://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/326538

South-East Asia Regional Strategy for Primary Health Care: 2022-2030

The imperative to strengthen primary health care or PHC for short has never been more compelling and urgent. Home to more than 2 billion people, the WHO South-East Asia Region faces multiple health-related challenges including the increasing burden of noncommunicable diseases, persistence of communicable diseases, the cost of health care and public health emergencies.

The recently launched WHO South-East Asia Regional strategy for PHC covers seven core values as a constant guide, 12 interdependent strategic actions and monitoring tool to assess, track and drive progress to ensure health for all in the SEA Region.

“I urge Member States to make full use of this Strategy and look forward to supporting them in their efforts to update plans, policies and operational strategies to strengthen PHC orientation, with the aim of achieving Health for All, leaving no one behind.” writes Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh, Regional Director, WHO South-East Asia. https://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/350460
