We requested an article on the challenges we face in developing information systems that support the strategy of mainstreaming health into all policies. This is the link to the document.

Public health laws passed or pending are a conceptual and methodological adequacy of public health to current social needs, and have in common the incorporation of health in all policies. This means a new strategic approach, which will require different information systems, which must also incorporate the rapid advances in the field of information technology and communication.

The aim of this study is to identify the most relevant aspects to be taken into account in information systems in public health from the perspective of technology, both in developing as well as component items.

To overcome the fragmentation of information systems in public health is essential to achieve the integration of them with each other and with health care systems and extrasanitarios, for what is necessary to advance the technical interoperability, semantic and organizational.

The development of information systems to support the new strategy will present additional difficulties because of its size and diversity of organisms intervenes.

In one study, which cost about 300 thousand dollars and unique at the international level in Oaxaca, it was found that access to information on reproductive health, improving substantially the quality of life of adolescents in rural areas.

This was announced Sharon Bissell director of the Mexico office of the Macarthur Foundation sponsored the study, which he said took place over a period of five years between 2004, and 2008 in which the information was lifted in 27 rural communities in the Valleys Oaxaca’s central Slough, Santa Catalina and Minas Sumatran, Scotland, among others.

He explained that it was a great effort for the implementation of Care Model for Rural Adolescents (MARA) to know every year the progress of their knowledge and practices to protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections, the Virus of Inmudeficiencia (HIV) and avoid unwanted pregnancies.

It is one of the few studies of this type around the world about reproductive health among young people, because there is no rigorous research.

But he said there that global studies, which provide scientific information when and also promotes the exercise of rights and gender equity, helps to lower case by infections and early pregnancies.

He explained that the Macarthur Foundation is a nonprofit association that is dedicated to research on issues of sexuality and improving reproductive health and adolescent and maternal health to prevent high rates of morbidity and mortality.

Qualified health centers to meet the emergency and unscheduled care over the weekend in Dijon have been reinforced because of the flu epidemic. The increased demand for services in recent weeks has led to management of Primary Health Area V to increase some of the templates. As confirmed yesterday the manager, Antonio Mole Jon, health centers in El Llano and the Village Gate were fitted with another doctor and another nurse. The decision was taken after the past weekend the workload increased by almost 30%. Also released to The Plain of the obligation to cover the homes of some rural areas, demand was transferred to La Caldara.

The flu and the spread of colds and respiratory infections are the main groups responsible for continuing care items get sicker than usual. In El Llano, for example, there Saturday in which we had to serve about 200 patients when it is normal that comes between 130 and 150 users. Also increased home visits, especially in the center and the Village Gate, which are devices that are assigned a higher percentage of aging population. During the flu epidemic had days of 12 and 14 homes per day, i.e. one at a time, Mole Jon reported.

Strengthening staff could sustain this weekend. “We will have to see how the flu and health care demand,” said the manager of primary school. The latest data from the Ministry of Health indicate that the epidemic has begun to subside, although the virus still remains at high levels of incidence and shows a significant movement among the Austrian.

However, despite the increased attention on the continuing primary care, the majority of cases “were resolved in the very center of health.” Another characteristic of those who demanded health care in last Saturday and Sunday, is that many of the patients was not of an emergency, so that might have been expected to be seen by your regular doctor. The band of increased pressure is between 11 am and two in the afternoon.

While the Health Sector of our country promotes the importance of using condoms during sex to prevent HIV / AIDS and the Ministry of Health in Ithacan takes actions to distribute condoms and educate health sector operating tables and support to civil society organizations to promote actions for the prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections, Sties, HIV and AIDS and discrimination, stigma and homophobia, Deputy Paz Gutierrez Corrine Fraction PAN legislators, promotes changes to the General Health Law, which violate the sexual freedom of the people, arguing that fidelity are the best ways to stop STI thus discrediting the use of condoms as a preventive measure, scientifically proven .

Again, the condom is of a mess in the lower house of the LXI Legislature of the Congress and the Peace Rep. Gutierrez Corrine, presented the initiative to amend sections 309 and 310 of the General Health Act in order to tell people that condoms do not protect against Sties, 100 percent, to skip advertising phrases such as safe sex, that is not directed to children under 14 years, and its dissemination in electronic media is made only after 22 hours.

This situation worries us and we must take, any time you are undermining the reproductive rights of children and adolescents and Mexico, violating their rights and creating discrimination and denying them the right to be informed about Sties and ways to prevention. Also, where is the coordination work of the Ministers of Education and Health in Latin America and the Caribbean, signed by the 2008 Ministerial Declaration “Education for Prevention”?, Which includes just these issues about the culture of prevention.

Looking to the position of Deputy Paz Gutierrez Corrine even the Church, it is important that health authorities in Mexico maintain the level of information to the public on issues of reproductive rights and sexuality, as well as to everything with measures of attention, control, prevention and fight against homophobia, discrimination and stigma against people living with HIV / AIDS, and to continue the distribution of condoms.
