Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in both developed and developing countries and the second most common cancer in the world. Developing countries are increasingly adopting a Western lifestyle, such as changes in diet and delayed first childbirth, lower parity, and shorter periods of breastfeeding, which are important determinants of a higher incidence of breast cancer among those regions. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) represent most of the countries with the highest mortality rates, ranging from 40% to 60%. Furthermore, developing countries account for scarce survival data, and the few data available coincide with the observed incidence and mortality differences. Five-year survival rates for breast cancer are much worse for LMICs countries such as Brazil, India, and Algeria in comparison with the United States and Sweden. Paucity of early detection programs explain these poor survival rates, which results in a high proportion of women presenting with late-stage disease, along with lack of adequate diagnosis and treatment facilities. Emphasis is urgently needed on health education, to promote early diagnosis of breast cancer, highlighting the importance of creating more public facilities that provide treatment, which are key components for the improvement in breast cancer care in developing countries.

Diabetes is increasingly becoming a major chronic disease burden all over the world. This requires a shift in healthcare priorities and up-to-date data on the epidemiology and impact of diabetes in all regions of the world to help plan and prioritize health programs. We systematically reviewed the literature on diabetes prevalence and its complications in the UN sub region of Northern Africa including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, South Sudan and Western Sahara.A systematic literature review of papers published on diabetes prevalence and complications in North Africa from January 1990 to July 2012. Literature searches were conducted using electronic databases.Diabetes prevalence ranged from 2.6% in rural Sudan to 20.0% in urban Egypt. Diabetes prevalence was significantly higher in urban areas than in rural areas. Undiagnosed diabetes is common in Northern Africa with a prevalence ranging from 18% to 75%. The prevalence of chronic diabetes complications ranged from 8.1% to 41.5% for retinopathy, 21% to 22% for albuminuria, 6.7% to 46.3% for nephropathy and 21.9% to 60% for neuropathy.Diabetes is an important and common health problem in Northern Africa. Variations in prevalence of diabetes between individual countries are observed. Chronic complications of diabetes are common. Urgent measures are needed to prevent diabetes and its related complications in Northern Africa.

Abstract Background Diabetes has become an increasingly prevalent and severe public health issue in Algeria. This article investigates the prevalence, the cost and the management of this disease. Its first objective is to better understand the burden (both from an epidemiological and economic perspective) and management of diabetes. The second objective is to understand the health policy strategy adopted by Algeria in order to respond to the disease. Methods We conducted a literature review of prevalence, costs, management and outcomes of diabetes and its complications. This was complemented by data compilations and results of expert consultations. Results The epidemiology of diabetes is continually evolving and is becoming more problematic. The national evidence suggests that the prevalence of diabetes in Algeria has increased from 6.8% in 1990 to 12.29% in 2005, but is quite higher among certain groups and areas of the country. This disease affects all population groups, especially 35–70 year olds, who constitute a large segment of the working population. There are very few estimates of the cost of diabetes. These include a 1998 study on the total cost of type 1 diabetes (USD 11.6 million, which, inflated to 2013 value, totals to USD 16.6 million), a study on the cost of complications in 2010 (at 2013 value, ranging from USD 141 for first-year treatment of peripheral vascular disease to USD 30,441 for first-year cost of renal transplantation) and the 2013 IDF estimates of total cost of type 1 and type 2 diabetes (USD 513 million). Conclusions As the prevalence of diabetes continues to increase, the financial burden will increasingly weigh heavily on social security resources and the government budget. Future priorities must focus on empowering general practitioners in treating type 2 diabetes, improving screening of diabetes and its complications, tackling the growing obesity epidemic, strengthening health information systems and implementing the national diabetes prevention and control plan.

There is limited knowledge about dietary quality among the adult population in low- and middle income countries (LMICs). This study aims to describe dietary quality among the adult Saharawi refugee population and to investigate whether dietary quality is associated with socioeconomic status. In 2014, a cross-sectional survey was carried out in the Saharawi refugee camps, Algeria. A three-staged cluster sampling was performed and 180 women and 175 men, aged 18–82 years, were randomly selected. The dietary intake was assessed by 24-h dietary recall and dietary diversity score (DDS) was calculated. Socioeconomic status was assessed using the WAMI index (sanitation, assets, education and income). The mean DDS among the total sample was 3.8 ± 1.4 and 2/3 of participant were at risk of low dietary adequacy. The main food groups consumed were starchy staple foods, flesh foods, and dairy. Vitamin A-rich dark green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds and eggs were the food groups least consumed. The multiple regression model showed a positive association between DDS and the WAMI index (P < 0.001) and a negative association between DDS and age (p = 0.01). Low DDS was associated with low socioeconomic status. Programmes to improve the dietary quality among the Saharawi refugees should be implemented.

The frequency of consanguinity in Algeria and its impact on the national health were computed through several studies: demographic inquiries (national census) and inquiries in local hospitals, either in maternity services, where congenital malformations were recorded, or in pediatric services, consisting of hospitalized children or children seen in general or specialized consultation. The results demonstrated that consanguinity is very frequent (22 to 25%) predominantly "first cousin marriages". It has adverse consequences on infant mortality, with unexpected polymalformations or neural tube malformations, hematologic diseases, juvenile diabetes and recessively inherited diseases (neurological diseases were not studied here). The social causes of such a high incidence of consanguinity in Algeria are discussed. Measures to put into action in order to rapidly change the customs of the country are suggested.

The European Union contracted Morocco to regulate migration from so-called “transit migrants” from Morocco to Europe via the European Neighbourhood Policy. Yet, international organisations signal that human, asylum and refugee rights are not upheld in Morocco and that many sub-Saharan migrants suffer from ill-health and violence. Hence, our study aimed at 1) investigating the nature of violence that sub-Saharan migrants experience around and in Morocco, 2) assessing which determinants they perceive as decisive and 3) formulating prevention recommendations.Applying Community-Based Participatory Research, we trained twelve sub-Saharan migrants as Community Researchers to conduct in-depth interviews with peers, using Respondent Driven Sampling. We used Nvivo 8 to analyse the data. We interpreted results with Community Researchers and the Community Advisory Board and commonly formulated prevention recommendations.Among the 154 (60 F-94 M) sub-Saharan migrants interviewed, 90% reported cases of multiple victimizations, 45% of which was sexual, predominantly gang rape. Seventy-nine respondents were personally victimized, 41 were forced to witness how relatives or co-migrants were victimized and 18 others knew of peer victimisation. Severe long lasting ill-health consequences were reported while sub-Saharan victims are not granted access to the official health care system. Perpetrators were mostly Moroccan or Algerian officials and sub-Saharan gang leaders who function as unofficial yet rigorous migration professionals at migration ‘hubs’. They seem to proceed in impunity. Respondents link risk factors mainly to their undocumented and unprotected status and suggest that migrant communities set-up awareness raising campaigns on risks while legal and policy changes enforcing human rights, legal protection and human treatment of migrants along with severe punishment of perpetrators are politically lobbied for.Sub-Saharan migrants are at high risk of sexual victimization and subsequent ill-health in and around Morocco. Comprehensive cross-border and multi-level prevention actions are urgently called for. Given the European Neighbourhood Policy, we deem it paramount that the European Union politically cares for these migrants’ lives and health, takes up its responsibility, drastically changes migration regulation into one that upholds human rights beyond survival and enforces all authorities involved to restore migrants’ lives worthy to be lived again.

Globally, human–dog interactions cause significant social, economic and human health costs. Public health problems linked with dogs include mainly zoonotic diseases. Recently the concept of a global and integrative approach to improve the health and well-being of people, animals and the environment has been strongly endorsed. This concept, often referred to as One Health, also reflects the collaboration in the field of surveillance and monitoring. Because humans and animals often suffer from the same pathogens and share the same environment, a cross-sector approach integrating human and animal disease surveillance information is required. The aims of the present study were to describe the incidence of dog-mediated zoonotic diseases in Algeria between 2010 and 2017, and to propose a One Health approach to control these diseases in Algeria. Rabies, leishmaniasis and echinococcosis are the major zoonoses in Algeria, with a reported average number of deaths per year, respectively, of 18, 7947 and 387. These zoonoses occur with the uncontrolled proliferation of household waste deposits, particularly in and around urban area which maintain the presence of stray dogs. The persistence of these diseases indicates the need for greater partnership and collaboration among multiple sectors, including medical doctors, veterinarians, ecologists, environmentalists and law-enforcement agents. Such partnerships permit the sharing of information, facilities and resources under a One Health approach; permit rapid communication among disciplines as well as interdisciplinary training/education opportunities and raising awareness among human population; and allow a combined effort towards disease surveillance/control, which will consequently improve the efficiency of the control programmes.

Despite the numerous studies confirming the involvement of consanguinity in health problems, some populations around the world continue to practice this marital behavior. Algeria, like many Arab-Muslim countries, has very high consanguinity rates that require studies to measure the effects on public health. This study aims to estimate the frequency of consanguinity and to analyze its effects on two health indicators, namely abortion, neonatal, and postnatal mortality, and it focused on the population of Beni Abbes in southwestern Algeria previously known to be a genetic isolate. The results of the study revealed a high consanguinity rate of 55.06% with a clear preference of first cousin marriages. A highly significant correlation was highlighted between inbreeding and the incidence of abortion as well as post and neonatal mortality. These results are an encouraging indicator for further future genetic studies on this population, especially since this locality is likely to remain a genetic isolate. In order to reduce the adverse health effects of consanguinity, it is essential to establish genetic counseling services in health facilities and to promote the dissemination of information on risks arising from consanguineous marriages through health education for populations.

COVID-19 began its journey in Algeria, the largest African country, on Feb 25, 2020, when the first case was reported by the Ministry of Health, Population and Hospital Reform. The assumption that the virus would spare the country given its warm climate was popular among Algerians, but was soon proven to be erroneous. As in many other countries, the Algerian Government implemented intermittent, partial lockdowns and curfews, as well as travel cancellation and isolation of returning citizens to promote physical distancing, decrease the spread of the virus, flatten the curve of infections, and allow hospitals more time to prepare. Mandatory facemask use in public was implemented in May, 2020. Despite these measures COVID-19 continued to spread, infecting 107 578 people and killing 2894 people, as of Feb 2, 2021, resulting in a mortality rate of about 2·7%. Despite governmental efforts to make testing more available, such as investing US$100 million to import medical supplies, locally producing rapid COVID-19 tests, and importing 250 000 PCR testing kits for public and private use in early October, 2020, there are still deficiencies in testing, meaning the number of infections is likely to be an underestimate. Although Algeria's health-care system ranks among the best in Africa, it lags far behind standards of wealthier countries. Algeria's health expenditure is relatively high compared with other African countries; in 2018, its health expenditure was 6·22% of GDP. Despite this investment, Algeria was ill prepared to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Health-care workers were challenged by a shortage in hospital intensive care unit beds, ventilators, protective gear, medical oxygen, oximeters, and medications. “We knew we were going to struggle”, says Dr Mohammed Zehar, a frontline pulmonologist at University Hospital Center of Tlemcen (Tlemcen, Algeria). The country experienced a peak in new daily COVID-19 cases in July, 2020, after which numbers fell and plateaued until another, larger peak occurred in November and December. According to projections by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, the scenario of universal facemask use would yield the lowest daily infections and mortality rates compared with all other scenarios, including the scenario of rapid vaccine rollout. However, as of Dec 14, 2020, it is estimated that only 47% of Algerians wear a mask in public. Other factors such as the emergence of new, more transmissible variants of the virus are likely to affect the daily infection and mortality rates in ways that are yet to transpire. As the rate of daily infections exponentially increased, the effects of the pandemic extended to disturb all aspects of society. Rising poverty, unemployment, and isolation are matters of concern for many Algerians, along with worries surrounding worsening mental health and increasing domestic violence incidents as families are confined at home. People who had COVID-19 were socially stigmatised during the early stages of the pandemic by their relatives and the wider community. As such, patients often refrained from seeking medical help or consultation when needed, fearing that other people would find out if they tested positive for COVID-19. Similar to what has been seen in other countries, individuals turned to social media during lockdown for more information on COVID-19, contributing to the spread of misinformation. Some people still question the nature and existence of the pandemic and ignore preventive measures. In an attempt to combat misinformation, the government set up a COVID-19 hotline, where people could speak to a trained professional and gain further information. Nonetheless, the new year brings hope with the development, approval, and distribution of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Algeria was the first African country to receive 50 000 doses of the Russian vaccine Sputnik V on Jan 29, 2021, which will be prioritised for health-care workers, vulnerable people, and police officers. In a country with around 44 million people, this initial distribution is merely the start of a massive vaccination campaign that will require tremendous resources. The programme will be fully funded by the government, will have country-wide distribution to ensure vaccine accessibility for all residents, and will aim to produce the Sputnik V vaccine locally, rather than import it. With this programme, Algeria can hopefully serve as a model for neighbouring countries in north Africa. The Algerian health system should be subject to systematic testing—eg, drills simulating novel outbreaks to improve operational capabilities. Financial systems should also be evaluated to ensure there is sufficient funding for any resources needed and to allow for prompt reimbursement if required. By identifying any weaknesses in the health system and developing recommendations for improving performance of future public health emergency programmes, the country and health system can be best prepared for any future public health crises.. We declare no competing interests.

Viral hepatitis represents an important health problem in the South Mediterranean countries, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. Emerging natural history and epidemiological information reveal differences in the overall epidemiology, risk factors and modes of transmission of viral hepatitis A, B, C, D, E infections in the South Mediterranean region. The differences in the in incidence and prevalence of viral hepatitis across North African countries is attributed to variations in health care and sanitation standards, risk factors and immunization strategies. The active continuous population movement through travel, tourism and migration from and to the South Mediterranean countries contribute to the spread of infections due to hepatitis viruses across borders leading to outbreaks and emergence of new patterns of infection or introduction of uncommon genotypes in other countries, particularly in Europe.

Diabetes mellitus stands as a major public health issue in Algeria and has an important socioeconomical impact. Our study involved a representative sample of 1457 subjects and aimed at assessing the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and glucose intolerance in the population of Setif Wilaya, aged between 30 and 64 years old.Diagnosis was based on oral glucose tolerance test, according to World Health Organisation criteria.Diabetes prevalence was 8.2% (CI: 95%: 6.8% to 9.6%). It increased with age, while 50% of cases were undiagnosed, without any difference according to sex nor urban (7.3%)/rural (9.7%) distribution. Glucose intolerance prevalence was 7.1 (CI 95%: 5,8% to 8,4%). Age-standardized prevalence, according to world population data provided by WHO, was 9.08% for diabetes and 7.5% for glucose intolerance. When the new American Diabetes Association Criteria were used, prevalence of type 2 diabetes was 8.8 (CI: 95%: 7.3% to 10.2%) and that of fasting hyperglycemia was 6.9% (CI: 95%: 5.6 to 8.2). According to these new criteria, among the 66 cases with undiagnosed diabetes, 79% presented with a fasting blood glucose > or =126 mg/dl.This relatively high diabetes prevalence calls for an appropriate management and health education, particularly focused on high risk subjects. These results bring the the first detailed prevalence data in an Algerian population.

The incidence of Kawasaki disease in Maghreb countries is apparently low, unlike those living in the province of Quebec, Canada. This retrospective study compared Maghrebi children living in Quebec to the countries of origin, Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. The annualized incidence rate in Quebec (18.49/year/100 000 children under 5 years of age) was 4 to 12 times higher than in Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria (0.95, 4.52, and 3.15, respectively). The prevalence of incomplete diagnostic criteria was higher in Quebec at 39%, Morocco 43%, and Tunisia 39% compared to Algeria at 8%, with minimal delayed diagnosis (7%) only in Quebec compared to 30%, 35%, and 62%, respectively ( P < .001). The rate of coronary aneurysms was comparable however (11% in Quebec vs 4%, 10%, and 25%, in Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria, respectively; P = .31). The higher incidence of Kawasaki disease in the Maghreb community in Quebec versus the countries of origin seems due to underdiagnosis, which represents a public health concern in those countries.

Abstract Hepatitis B virus ( HBV ) represents an important health problem in the Maghreb countries, Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia, but no detailed synthesis of its epidemiology is available. In this review, we systematically searched for data about HBV in the Maghreb in peer‐reviewed databases and included in our analysis works written in English and French, as well as institutional reports and regional conference meeting abstracts. We estimated national and regional prevalence of chronic HBV infection. In addition, we discuss molecular features of the viral strains circulating in the region. Data analysis suggests that in the Maghreb region HB s antigen carriage concerns 1.8–4.9% of the population for an estimated number of 2.7 million persons. Genotype D, subtype D7, is predominant and mutations in the precore region of HBV genome are highly prevalent. This epidemiological situation requires obviously widespread active interventions for prevention and control. In addition, anti‐hepatitis B vaccination programme should be applied with the utmost discipline in the five countries considered in this present review. This systematic review will, hopefully, increase knowledge at disposal of Public Health authorities, enabling better resource allocation and healthcare delivery. The present synthesis intends to stimulate policies aiming at preventing the spread of HBV , keeping in mind that eradication of the virus from Maghrebi populations should be the ultimate objective of Public Health authorities.

Infections caused by dermatophytes are a global problem and a major public health burden in the world today. In Africa, especially in the northern geographical zone, dermatophytic infections are being reported at an alarming rate. This is mostly because of some local but unique cultural practices, socioeconomic and environmental conditions, lack of reliable diagnostic personnel and facilities and ineffective treatment. Interestingly, the pathogen spectrum and the clinical manifestation are most times different from what is seen in other continents. Several epidemiological studies have been performed on the incidence and aetiology of dermatophytoses in northern Africa. However, there is currently no review article with up-to-date information on the relevant findings reported so far in this region. This information is necessary for clinicians who treat dermatophytic infections all over the world since agents of dermatophytes are no longer restricted because of the rapid mobility of humans from one part of the world to another. Moreover, the epidemiology of dermatophytoses is known to change over time, thus requiring the update of information from time to time. A review of relevant studies published on dermatophytoses in northern Africa is presented. This covers all of old Sudan, Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Morocco.

Zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania major is a serious public health problem in Algeria. On average, 10,000 new cases are reported every year among the 15 million people at risk of infection. With an annual incidence of 561.8 per 100,000 inhabitants, M'Sila has seen the worst outbreak of the disease in Algeria since the historic outbreak in Biskra. The main reservoir of the disease is Psammomys obesus, a gerbil that feeds exclusively on Chenopodiaceae, a salt-tolerant plant under which it makes its burrow. Removing these plants around houses within a radius of 300 meters is one of the most effective control measures. As part of a social program of public works, a pilot project aimed at controlling the disease was undertaken in 2003 in the five worst affected cities in M'Sila. 396 unemployed young people were recruited to remove the plants before the transmission season. Over 3,600 hectares were treated. The number of cases decreased from 1,391 in 2003 to 965 in 2004 (31% reduction). These measures need to be implemented in all endemic areas of the country to better assess their effectiveness in preventing the disease.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, with substantial public health and economic impact on healthcare systems due to the prevention and management of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications. In Algeria, stroke is a leading cause of death, representing 15.6% of all deaths in 2012. Current data on the epidemiology and costs associated with non-valvular AF (NVAF) in Algeria are not available.Methods: A three-step approach was undertaken to estimate the economic burden of NVAF in Algeria. First, a literature review identified the epidemiological burden of the disease. Second, expert clinicians practicing in Algerian hospitals were surveyed on consumed resources and unit costs of treatment and management of complications and prevention. Finally, these data were combined with event probabilities in an economic model to estimate the annual cost of NVAF prevention and complications for the Algerian healthcare system.Results: Based on literature and demographics data, it was estimated that there are currently 187,686 subjects with NVAF in Algeria. Seventy per cent of this population was treated for prevention, half of which were controlled. Cost of prevention was estimated at 203 million DZD (€1.5 million) for drugs and 349 million DZD (€2.6 million) for examinations. Mean hospitalization costs for complications ranged between 123,500 and 435,500 DZD (€910–3,209), according to the type and severity of complications. Hospitalization costs for thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications were estimated at 8,313 million DZD (€62 million), half of which was for untreated patients. Finally, the economic burden of NVAF was estimated at 8,865 million DZD (>€65 million) annually.Conclusion: The economic burden of NVAF is important in Algeria, largely driven by untreated and INR-uncontrolled patients. There is a lack of information on the Algerian healthcare system that could increase uncertainty around this assessment, but it clearly establishes the importance of NVAF as a public health concern.

In Algeria, scorpion envenomation is real public health problem. Since the creation of the National Committee of Control of Scorpion envenomations (CNLES), several steps have been taken to deal with this problem. After a brief historical introduction, we present the main elements of the action carried out both in terms of treatment and of prevention of scorpion proliferation. The epidemiological situation is presented by stressing the difficulties involved in collecting reliable data. We also address the question of citizen and stakeholder awareness since public participation is crucial in all prevention programmes. Training for healthcare providers is also one of the principal axes of the Committee's programme which includes national, regional, and even local seminars. We describe the improvement of production and research on venoms carried out by the Institute Pasteur of Algeria. We conclude by discussing the action plan for 2001 and prospects for an enhanced strategy in the fight against the scorpion envenomation.

Hypertension, also referred to as the silent killer, is known to be one of the most common chronic diseases in the world today. This study aimed to identify the prevalence and risk factors of prehypertension and hypertension among Algerian population.This is a descriptive cross-sectional epidemiological study involving individuals aged 18 to 69 years old who were identified in the database of the national survey on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) risk factors conducted in Algeria between 2016 and 2017 using the World Health Organization's (WHO) STEPwise approach. Differences in prevalence between normotensives, prehypertensives and hypertensives were assessed using the chi-square test. We also looked at the role of numerous socio-demographic, economic, geographical, and behavioural factors in blood pressure status using a logistic regression model.The prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension was 36.2% (95% confidence interval: 35.2-37.5%) and 31.6% (95% CI: 30.5-32.7%) respectively. Prehypertension was shown to be substantially higher in males than in women, while hypertension was found to be higher in females compared to men. In addition, both sexes had a rise in the prevalence of blood pressure as they grew older. A according to multivariate logistic regression analysis, the main common risk factors for prehypertension and hypertension were ageing, obesity, and abdominal obesity. Moreover hypercholesterolemia, and marital status (separated/divorced) were correlated to hypertension.Prehypertension and hypertension are high and epidemic in Algeria. Therefore, the urgent quantification and monitoring of their risk factors becomes a necessity to plan appropriate preventive measures, in order to fight against NCDs in general.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis is one of many dangerous parasitic diseases. It remains a serious public health problem not only in Souf oasis, but also in Algeria and all developing countries. The results of our thirteen-year study shows a recording of 4813 confirmed cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis and the details shows that this disease affects all municipalities and all age groups, from infants to elderly, but the most affected ones are teenagers aging (10–19) years with 1512 cases (31.41%) and infants less than 9 years old with 1237 cases (25.70%). In addition, males are more prone to this disease than females (65% and 35% respectively). Among the 18 municipalities in the Souf, the most affected were El-Oued with 1171 cases (24.33%) followed by Guemar with 997 cases (20.71%). Furthermore, more than 40.03% of all cases (1927 cases), were record just in one year in 2010. A parallel, this study shows that the original factors of the studied area, such as climatological, agricultural and environmental factors, was the reason do not apparition this epidemic for a long time, but the changes in these conditions, resulting from various human activities create new environmental conditions, which help with the emergence and spread of leishmaniasis disease. The effective fight against this disease should be based on the elimination of the vectors and reservoirs populations, by the overall improvement of sanitary conditions and hygiene, extensive research in epidemiology of leishmaniasis could also reduce the incidence of cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Use of kohl (called surma in India and Pakistan) as an eye cosmetic is very common, especially among women, children, and babies, not only in North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Egypt), but also in the Near East and the Middle East, as well in India and Pakistan. This practice has now become widespread in European countries and North America. The cultural custom is very old and has been in use in Egypt since the Ancient Empire. In a great number of kohls available on the free market, lead sulfide is the main component and the very high lead concentration is a risk, particularly for women and children. We report the observation of a case of lead poisoning in a young Moroccan woman caused by prolonged use of a kohl and provide a review of the published literature. This case study should draw the attention of ophthalmologists in French-speaking areas to a public health problem, largely ignored, although real, considering the high lead concentrations found in the majority of kohls. Actions such as prohibition (importation and sale of eye cosmetics made of lead sulfide) have proved to be inadequate. Appropriate educational campaigns directed toward populations using eye cosmetics will be more effective over the long term.

Bullies and bully-victims are more likely to engage in a cluster of other delinquent behaviors. Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine correlates of bullying victimization among school-going adolescents in Algeria. Materials and Methods: The study analyzed data from the 2011 Global School-Based Health Survey conducted among in-school adolescents in Algeria. Logistic regression analyzes were used to estimate associations between bullying victimization and selected variables. Results: A total of 4532 students participated in the survey of which 48.1% were males. Bullying victimization was estimated at 51.1% (47.2% among males and 54.9% among females). Males were 28% less likely to be bullied compared to females. Overall, adolescents aged <13 years were 14% less likely to be bullied compared to those aged 16 years or older. Adolescents who reported hunger most of the time or always were 21% more likely to be bullied compared with those who were hungry less frequently. While students who smoked cigarettes were 24% more likely to report having been bullied, those who smoked marijuana were 21% less likely to report having been bullied compared to students who did not smoke. Adolescents who were involved in physical fighting were 67% more likely to be bullied compared to those who were not involved in fighting. While males who were involved in physical activity were 4% more likely to be bullied, females were 10% less likely to bullied compared with adolescents who were not involved in physical activity. Sedentary students were 10% more likely to experience bullying victimization compared to those who did not have a sedentary lifestyle. Conclusion: Bullying victimization is frequent among Algerian in-school adolescents. This calls for a concerted effort to prevent and control bullying behavior using interventions that are gender sensitive.

With cases of novel coronavirus spreading worldwide, governments and institutions are getting ready for the first cases in Africa. Munyaradzi Makoni reports from Cape Town. On Jan 30, WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared that the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) epidemic, centred in China, was a public health emergency of international concern. A large part of WHO's reasoning was that “a global coordinated effort is needed to enhance preparedness in other regions of the world”. As cases continue to rise, and spread worldwide, governments and institutions are taking action to prepare for the first patients in Africa. “The risk and likelihood of getting an outbreak is very, very high”, said Ambrose Talisuna, the WHO Africa team lead for emergency preparedness. As of Feb 11, Africa does not have any confirmed cases, but suspected patients have been quarantined in Ethiopia, Kenya, Côte d'Ivoire, and Botswana. Dr Tedros announced on Feb 5 that a US$675 million preparedness and response plan covering February to April, 2020, had been initiated by the international community for China and globally to protect states with weaker health systems. WHO has prioritised support for 13 countries on the basis of their close transport links with China: Algeria, Angola, Côte d'Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. “We all know how fragile health systems [are] in the African continent, they are already overwhelmed by many outbreaks. For us, it is critical to detect coronavirus earlier [so] that we can prevent spreading within communities that can trigger a number of cases that can overwhelm the treatment capacity”, said Michel Yao, WHO Africa programme manager for emergency operations. The strategy is to prepare country technical guidance, advising ministries of health on how to limit human-to-human transmission, ensure countries have capacity to isolate and provide appropriate treatment to affected people, Yao said. The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) established the Africa Task Force for Novel Coronavirus on Feb 3. It is working with WHO on surveillance, including screening at points of entry, infection prevention and control in health-care facilities, clinical management of people with severe 2019-nCoV infection, laboratory diagnosis, and risk communication and community engagement. The Director of Africa CDC, John Nkengasong, outlined the threat to Africa posed by 2019-nCoV. “This disease is a serious threat to the social dynamics, economic growth, and security of Africa”, said Nkengasong. “If we do not detect and contain disease outbreaks early, we cannot achieve our developmental goals.” Yao said WHO is working with various partners to ensure that there is a proper screening process at the main points of entry, that suspected cases are isolated, and that protective equipment is provided. The guidance requires that alerts be raised on suspected cases. Health workers have been taught how to behave in front of people with suspected or confirmed infection. In-country incidence management teams have also been set up. Even in countries where there is instability, such as South Sudan, coordination mechanisms have been worked out to reach health workers and patients. Thanks to Ebola, Yao said, most of the countries have isolation infrastructure. “We are pushing for the continent to be very vigilant”, he added. Hilde De Clerck, emerging infections adviser with Médecins Sans Frontières, made the point that some health systems are already well organised and have able leadership but will have to adapt to respond successfully to an outbreak. South Africa's National Institute of Communicable Diseases and Senegal's Institut Pasteur were initially the only referral laboratories on the continent, and so were responsible for testing samples from other African countries. By Feb 4, more countries—Ghana, Madagascar, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria—were also able to do testing themselves. As of Feb 10, WHO said that 11 countries were capable of testing for 2019-nCoV, and reagents should be delivered to other countries this week. Africa's preparedness efforts have been boosted with $25 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, with some of it going towards training. 15 experts from the African Union received training on laboratory diagnosis for 2019-nCoV in Dakar, Senegal, on Feb 6–8. WHO is also supporting training in Ethiopia and other countries on isolation and treatment and care of infected patients.

Abstract The purpose of the current study is to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected eating behavior and directed toward organic food and bioproducts consumption in the North African region especially Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia as well as identify the variables that may affect the eating behavior of these population. Data were collected using an anonymous online survey on 1,244 respondents from Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. The results showed that the confinement did influence the consumption of healthy food to enhance people’s immune system so as to prevent infection by the COVID-19, and other diseases. Moreover, academic level, gender, and country of residence were diversely correlated with the eating behavior during COVID-19 confinement. The understanding of people’s eating behavior will help the public health to reshape future policies toward organic and bio-based food production; moreover, some further nutritional recommendations could be concluded to maintain a global better health status and improve body defence mechanism.

Through this commentary, we attempt to evaluate the success of the Algerian legislature in developing a legal framework for the pharmaceutical industry that protects public health. The study is based on Algeria's national legal framework for the pharmaceutical industry, namely, legislation on health law and regulations on pharmaceutical activity. The study focuses on legal texts and uses the method of comparison whenever necessary. Algeria has established an integrated system for regulating the pharmaceutical industry at the national level. Algeria reserves its right to intervene in pharmaceutical economic activity through national industrial institutions. At the same time, Algeria allows private Algerian or foreign companies to become active in the pharmaceutical industry. However, the pharmaceutical industry sector has not freed the country from dependence on imports from abroad. Public authorities should provide continuous information about the support and facilities provided to pharmaceutical investors.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its consequences in terms of disability and mortality are, in current practice, a serious public health problem whose prevalence is unknown in Algeria. This study aims to evaluate this disease in order to plan a better system of management.The study used a questionnaire and spirometry and involved a representative sample of the adult population aged over 21 years. It was carried out with the assistance of the National Office of the Statistics (ONS) near the homes of the subjects who were selected according to the random mode in three degrees. The study concerned 1800 adults (50.4% men and 49.6% women) regardless of their tobacco smoking status. They were asked to answer the questionnaire and to perform spirometry.The prevalence of COPD is 4.9% for the whole population. It is rare before forty years of age (0.1%) and reaches 9.2% in those over 40 years old. In this older group the difference according to sex is significant (16.1% for men, 2.5% for women). Tobacco smoking increases the prevalence which reaches 31.5% among smokers, 14.6% among the ex-smokers and 2.5% among non-smokers. It increases with age and affects one man on four over 65 years old and one smoker on two in this age bracket. The prevalence of the various stages of severity is 6%, 2.7%, 0.3% and 0.2% respectively.The prevalence of the COPD found approaches that described in the literature. It increases with age and tobacco smoking and 0.2% of the population aged more than 40 years suffer from respiratory handicap. The management of this disease requires better organization at both the medical and social level.

This cross-sectional epidemiological study aimed at determining the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF; including obesity, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, diabetes and smoking), among patients from the Algerian sub-population of the "Africa/Middle East Cardiovascular Epidemiological" study attending general practitioners at primary healthcare facilities, and stratified according to their environment (rural/urban), sex and age.The study sites, located in 10 wilayas (administrative regions), were situated in urban and rural areas (rural populations defined as living at least 50km away from urban centres, or lacking access to suburban transport).Four hundred and ten subjects (262 female, 148 male) were enrolled; 287 subjects were from an urban environment and 123 from a rural environment. Mean age was 50.4 years. Ninety one point eight percent of patients had ≥1 CVRF; 48.2% had ≥3 CVRF. Prevalence for the different CVRF was: 61.7% for dyslipidaemia; 39.5% for hypertension; 25.0% for diabetes; 10.0% for smoking, 70.0% for abdominal obesity and 32.0% for a body mass index ≥30kg/m2.The high prevalence of all CVRF observed in the Algeria sub-group, especially among the rural population, should encourage us to develop a carefully planned strategy for primary prevention, opportunistic screening and early management, in both urban and rural settings, and with particular attention to young adults. These actions should involve all state bodies and those active in civil society, in order to guarantee full achievement of set goals. The ACE trial is registered under NCT01243138.

Abstract Background The Sahrawi people fled their homes in 1975 as the conflict in Western Sahara escalated and settled down near Tindouf, Algeria, where they still live. High prevalence of overweight and obesity and type 2 diabetes had been found in this protracted refugee setting. Scaling up national policy efforts to promote physical activity (PA) is critical to reducing the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the near future. One possible barrier to the inclusion of PA in NCD prevention strategies is the lack of research on PA level, which may reduce political support and policy development for PA. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the PA level among adults living in Sahrawi refugee camps and socioeconomic factors associated with PA. Methods A cross-sectional survey was carried out in 2014 in five refugee camps near Tindouf, Algeria. A total of 180 women and 175 men were included. PA was measured using the international physical activity questionnaire short form (IPAQ-SF). Results There was a large amount of variance in reported PA for both genders, ranging from 10 min of total PA per week to above 40 h. Forty-three percent of the participants had a low PA level (defined as not meeting the PA recommendations of 150 min of moderate to vigorous PA per day). The chi-square test of independence showed that males, those aged ≥ 60 years and people with higher education were more likely to be in the low PA level category. No significant relationship was found between PA level and BMI status. Most of the participants thought that engaging in PA would be wise, valuable, right and good but thought to a lesser degree that PA would be easy, comfortable and interesting. Conclusions Almost half of the participants were categorised as insufficiently physically active, however, most of the Sahrawi refugees express a positive attitude towards PA. PA is a low-cost approach to reducing deaths and NCDs, government initiatives to increase PA levels in refugee camps are advised.

Cervical cancer is a public health problem in the Maghreb countries with high mortality and socio-economic impact. The objective of this subject is exposed the epidemiological profile, programs of prevention and the support of cervical cancer in Maghreb (Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria).To implement this work, we carried out research on morbidity and mortality; cancer plans for Maghreb countries (Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia); cervical cancer surveillance for each country; the prevention programs of cervical cancer including vaccination, screening, information campaigns, awareness and education; and research conducted in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. We interviewed databases (Pubmed, Sciences Direct etc.), ministerial website, World Health Organization website, foundations website and centers of cancer research.The cervical cancer (CC) is diagnosed at advanced stages. The majority of patients are in advanced stages (stage II, III and IV). Regarding the histological profile squamous cell carcinoma is predominant. HPV 16 and HPV 18 single or multiple infection are by far the most common types of HPV associated with CCU in the Maghreb countries concerning the microbiological profile. All three countries have set up a cancer plans to prevent and control this disease and these impacts. Among the strong points of health policy in cancerology, in all three countries, we raised the existence of a cancer registry for monitoring and evolution of disease. Regarding the prevention of CC, in the three Maghreb countries, there is no primary prevention program (HPV vaccine and the struggle against risk factors), much deficiencies about secondary and tertiary prevention.To win the fight against the CC, the Maghreb countries are called to strengthen the health system globally, to consolidate the national policy and the national guidelines to fight against the CC and to allocate the financial and technical resources to support the implementation policy and guidelines to make services accessible and affordable for women and girls.

The health systems in many countries are still unable to control the evolution and persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic despite the large mobilisation of national resources. International attention has focussed on finding a cure, and preventive measures and national and international strategies to be adopted and implemented with regard to other future pandemics have been neglected despite their predictability and high probability of occurrence. This work aims to anticipate a reading on experience feedback in light of the current pandemic situation, and to identify the main spatial elements of vulnerability in Batna, Algeria, which seems to control the ability of an urban area to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. We used a digital model based on a multi-criteria approach implemented in a geo-decisional GIS database to serve as a decision support tool for dealing with an epidemiological situation as a preventive or curative action. The results from the model seem to adequately reflect the reality of confirmed incidents in Batna. In addition, the results of the analysis of the spatiotemporal evolution of the virus clearly confirm that the urban sectors characterised by high vulnerability are those that have recorded an increasing number of confirmed COVID-19 incidents since the start of the epidemic until December 2020.

Faced with the challenges of immigration, the opening of the Trans-Saharan road and the increase in the volume of trade with sub-Saharan Africa, there is a steady increase in the number of malaria cases. An introduction of the disease in the Maghreb is possible.The general objective is to take stock of the epidemiological situation and the malaria control strategy in the Maghreb countries.This is a synthesis of data from a literature search on: PubMed (publications), International and national reports (epidemiology and strategies).In 1979, Tunisia became the second Maghreb country to eliminate malaria after Libya (the last local case in 1973). In 1997, when 76 cases were recorded, Morocco embarked on a new national strategy aimed at the elimination of indigenous malaria by the end of 2005. In Algeria, after a phase of control by existence of P. vivax and P. malaria microspheres, the country is in the maintenance phase and no cases were recorded between 2013 and 2016. In Mauritania, even though malaria transmission is generally low, this parasitosis remains a problem public health. And the strategies of struggle and the contribution of scientific research remain below expectations.With the exception of Mauritania, the countries of the Great Arab Maghreb have practically eradicated malaria, even though the maintenance phase is underway in Algeria and cases imported from sub-Saharan Africa continue to be registered.

This paper investigated the causality and co-integr ation relationships between public spending on health and economic growth in Algeria during 1974-2014 using annual data. This paper concentrated on time series co-integration and caus ality in ECM framework. The findings revealed that there is a long-run causality from public spen ding on health to economic growth while it is not observed any short-run causality from public spendi ng on health to economic growth. The lack of strong link from public spending on health to econo mic growth is not necessarily a reason to reallocate health investment away from the health s ector. The improvements in health status will be worth the effort even if they turn out to have litt le effect on growth.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a main public health problem in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Iran, known as the MATI region. During the biennial meeting of Pasteur Institutes of the MATI region in November 2016 in Tehran, a Leishmania panel formed of scientists with different expertise in CL research from the MATI and Institut Pasteur in Paris, proposed a new consortium to develop an integrative research approach to better understand this disease. The proposed consortium synergizes three complementary thematics on Leishmania genetics, host immune response, and vector transmission. Moreover, assessing the social impact of CL with the aim to raise awareness at both the national and international levels will be a major focus of this consortium.

The health sector in Algeria witnesses a great development, especially during the last two decades of the last century to coincide with the economic and social changes of the country. But despite the enormity of what the state spends on this sensitive sector in order to meet the growing demand for health services provided by the public or private sector, which, however, take advantage of these services was still below the required level where the sector remains vulnerable to various problems

In many developing countries, dissatisfaction with primary health care has been accompanied by inappropriate use of university teaching hospitals, frequently for benign health problems. This situation is often attributed to the user population who supposedly misunderstands the functioning of health systems. This article describes the health seeking process and outcome of consultations for under-five children in two geographic zones in Algeria (very different in their care networks, and in the socioeconomic and educational characteristics of their populations), using a representative sample of users of public and private health services. During 4 one-week periods in 1991, a cross-sectional study was carried out among families of children and the health personnel they consulted, in all the health structures in the 2 zones. A Franco-Algerian supervisory team prepared consensual definitions of both the seriousness and the urgency of the pathology, as well as of the appropriateness of the health care structure chosen for that condition. The analysis of 1560 consultations shows dysfunctions in the health seeking process: numerous "self-referrals" (94%); unjustified recourse to university hospitals in 29% of cases; important delays before consulting (> or = 1 week in 14% of cases); absence of the mother during the consultation; differences in the mode of recourse according to the child's sex (for equivalent seriousness and urgency, recourse is more frequent to the emergency room and university hospital for boys, but girls are more often hospitalized). Nonetheless, the Algerian supervisors of the research consider that the choice of the health care facility is appropriate in 91% of cases. At the service level, dysfunctions are equally frequent, especially the absence of the transfer of information on the child between different health care professionals. The primary preoccupation of parents is with accessibility (distance, cost), which leads to recommending the revitalizing of small first-line facilities, especially in rural areas, the more so because they are used and appreciated by families.

The aim of this review is to provide information on the prevalence, clinical syndromes, and antimicrobial resistance and therapy of Aeromonas spp. infections in Arab countries. The data were obtained by an English language literature search from 1995 to 2014 of Medline and PubMed for papers using the search terms "Aeromonas+name of Arab country (i.e. Algeria, Egypt, etc.)". Additional data were obtained from a Google search using the aforementioned terms. The organisms have been reported from diarrheal children, patients with cholera-like diarrhea, an outbreak of acute gastroenteritis and from different types of animals, foods and water source in several Arab countries in the Middle East and North Africa with predominance of A. hydrophila, A. caviae and A. sobria. Using molecular techniques few studies reported genes encoding several toxins from aeromonads isolated from different sources. Among the antimicrobials examined in the present review third generation cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides showed excellent activity and can be employed in the treatment of Aeromonas-associated human infections in Arabic countries. Whenever possible, treatment should be guided by the susceptibility testing results of the isolated organism. In the future, studies employing molecular testing methods are required to provide data on circulating genospecies and their modes of transmission in the community, and on their mechanisms of resistance to antimicrobials. Microbiology laboratories and research centers are encouraged to look for these organisms in clinical, food and water sources to attain a better understanding of the public health risks from these organisms in Arab countries.

Our study examined the prevalence and associated factors of tobacco product use and non-users' susceptibility to using tobacco products among school-going adolescents in 22 African countries.We analyzed the cross-sectional 2013-2018 Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) data from 22 African countries. We conducted complex sampling descriptive and logistic regression analyses.The overall prevalence of current use of any tobacco product among adolescents was 19.1%, with more males (23.7%) than females (13.7%) being current users. Zimbabwe and Morocco were the highest (47.1%) and least (12.6%) reported prevalence, respectively. Being male (AOR = 1.93;95%CI:1.61-2.32), being 16 and older(AOR = 1.37;95%CI:1.01-1.86), exposure to secondhand smoke within (AOR = 1.98;95%CI:1.69-2.32) and outside (AOR = 1.37;95%CI:1.13-1.65) the home, not knowledgeable about the harmful effect of secondhand smoke (AOR = 1.44;95%CI:1.20-1.74), exposure to tobacco industry promotion (AOR = 3.05;95%CI:2.68-3.47) and not in favour of banning smoking in enclosed places (AOR = 1.32;95%CI:1.08-1.60) were associated with current use of any tobacco product. The prevalence of the susceptibility to using tobacco products among never users of tobacco products was 12.2%, with no significant gender difference. Mozambique (24.6%) and Algeria (4.5%) had the highest and least prevalence of susceptibility to using tobacco products among never users, respectively. Exposure to tobacco industry promotion (AOR = 1.54;95%CI:1.31-1.82), those not in favour of banning smoking in enclosed places (AOR = 1.29;95%CI:1.14-1.45) and those not exposed to anti-smoking school education (AOR = 1.24;95%CI:1.06-1.46) were associated with susceptibility to using any tobacco product among never users of tobacco products.Our study reports that tobacco use and non-user susceptibility to using tobacco products among school-going adolescents in the 22 African countries is high. As part of public health efforts, governments and other stakeholders need to fully implement anti-tobacco use campaigns, enforce a complete ban on tobacco promotion and advertising, institute educational programs for families, and anti-tobacco use education for the general public and in schools in line with WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control guidelines.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization announced that the new Corona virus is a global pandemic. The World Health Organization and the public health authority of various countries are working to contain the spread of the virus through quarantine. But these crises raise the level of stress and psychological tension on individuals and society. As well as Algeria is not an exception and this research will be on the extent of the impact of the pandemic on the conduct of lessons at the universities level in Algeria, which were not equipped for such situations during the outbreak of the emerging corona virus, and try to analyze the situation and then proposing some solutions that can work if it hurts humanity and the Algerians, especially an epidemic like the Corona virus pandemic (COVID-19).

FLA-related conditions are a rare medical occurrence. Despite their rarity, they are considered a public health concern for two reasons: the absence of a regular treatment regimen in the case of central nervous system infections and the fast progression of the symptoms leading to fatal outcomes. A total of 358 articles were retrieved from different databases (91 from PubMed, 26 from NCBI, 138 from Academia, 102 from Science Direct, and one from IJMED). 7 (46.6%) clinical cases came from Egypt, 2 (13.3%) cases of FLA infection came from Nigeria, 3 (20%) cases came from the Gambia, and 1 (6.6%) case was reported from African countries like Algeria, Tunisia, South Africa, and Zambia. Medical conditions caused by free-living amoeba are considered significant public health concerns. These ubiquitous organisms can cause both fatal and debilitating health conditions. Immediate diagnosis of cases and proper hygienic practices are necessary to provide direct medical intervention. They may be the key to reducing the morbidity and mortality rates from FLA-acquired infections. Although several government-led initiatives have been implemented to mitigate a plethora of parasitic diseases, the case of FLA-related conditions in African countries has yet to be realized.

Free medical care or health for ail? Reflections about the Algerian experience The problem of general access to medical care is a major problem till nowadays, especially in the Third World countries where financial obstacles tend to exclude large categories of population from the health care System. The Algerian experience of setting up a free of cost health care System deserves a heedful investigation, on condition of taking its context into account. This radical measure has been attended by a considerable endeavour in increasing the care supply and unifying the public health sector, contributing to a substantial improvement of the general health condition of the population. Nevertheless, this ambitious policy, excluding any real consult with the users, will face contradictions that will be sharpened by the economic and political crisis, calling in question the whole System.

The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) is an objective method of measurement of disease disability, allowing the quantification of a population's health status, the identification of its health needs, and the determination of its public health priorities.To document the epidemiological transition in Maghreb countries (Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria) over the past three decades and to identify their priority health problems, which are responsible for a considerable burden of disability.This is a data synthesis work of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) global burden of disease, through its project "GBD Compare Data Visualization". Data covering the period from 1990 to 2016, examined the three major categories of health problems "communicable, maternal, neonatal and nutritional diseases", "noncommunicable diseases" and "injuries", as well as the three types of risk: metabolic, environmental / professional and behavioral.Since 1990, cardiovascular diseases have consistently been the leading cause of death in the three Maghreb countries. During the period 1990-2016, and at varying speeds, the positions of communicable and neonatal diseases declined, while noncommunicable diseases (particularly cardiovascular diseases, cancers, mental disorders, diabetes and neurological disorders) increased significantly, to be at the top of the list of components of the global burden of disease.In 2016, road accidents have been ranked eighth in the ranking of the main components of the overall burden of morbidity in Tunisia and Morocco and ninth in Algeria. During the same period, the environmental and behavioral risk factors registered an overall decrease in the three Maghreb countries, in contrast to the metabolic risk factors that experienced a gradual and homogeneous increase in the Greater Maghreb.This GBD analysis confirmed the rather old and fairly advanced epidemiological transition in Maghreb countries, leading to a real "triple burden" threatening the stability and sustainability of national health systems. Hence the urgency of supporting the following five projects: the curriculum reform of the faculties of health sciences, the development of the second line of care, the participative management of health services, universal health coverage and the implementation of a comprehensive and integrated strategy for prevention and health promotion.

The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic were very significant on the population following the application of total and partial confinement measures. Our study aimed to investigate the social and mobility impact of confinement on the Algerian population using a cross-sectional survey launched after 3 days of the start of confinement to quickly assess the impacts during the period of March 23 to April 12, 2020.We used an online questionnaire to obtain 678 responses from internet users, who were living in confinement in Algeria. According to the gender variable, our sample included 405 men (59.7%) and 273 women (40.3%).The statistical analysis performed showed that road interactions and mobility are only part of the social interactions, and that 95.1% of the respondents avoided family visits during these first 3 weeks of confinement. Of respondents, 85.5% spend a considerable amount of time chatting with family, 66.6% found the diet beneficial during this period, 57% participated in sports to preserve their health, 87.2% of respondents respected the travel ban, only 20.2% of those surveyed used a bicycle for travel, and 55.9% traveled on foot to go shopping.The study also showed significant impacts on the social aspects linked to travel, namely family relationships and sports activities, as well as significant impacts on the mobility of people.

Background Maternal mortality remains a public health problem despite several global efforts. Globally, about 830 women die of pregnancy-related death per day, with more than two-third of these cases occurring in Africa. We examined the spatial distribution of maternal mortality in Africa and explored the influence of SDoH on the spatial distribution. Methods We used country-level secondary data of 54 African countries collected between 2006 and 2018 from three databases namely, World Development Indicator, WHO’s Global Health Observatory Data and Human Development Report. We performed descriptive analyses, presented in tables and maps. The spatial analysis involved local indicator of spatial autocorrelation maps and spatial regression. Finally, we built Bayesian networks to determine and show the strength of social determinants associated with maternal mortality. Results We found that the average prevalence of maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in Africa was 415 per 100 000 live births. Findings from the spatial analyses showed clusters (hotspots) of MMR with seven countries (Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Cote d’Ivoire, Chad and Cameroon, Mauritania), all within the Middle and West Africa. On the other hand, the cold spot clusters were formed by two countries; South Africa and Namibia; eight countries (Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Ghana, Gabon and Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Cape Verde) formed low–high clusters; thus, indicating that these countries have significantly low MMR but within the neighbourhood of countries with significantly high MMR. The findings from the regression and Bayesian network analysis showed that gender inequities and the proportion of skilled birth attendant are strongest social determinants that drive the variations in maternal mortality across Africa. Conclusion Maternal mortality is very high in Africa especially in countries in the middle and western African subregions. To achieve the target 3.1 of the sustainable development goal on maternal health, there is a need to design effective strategies that will address gender inequalities and the shortage of health professionals.

This study bridges extant information gap on the pecuniary value of disability-adjusted-life-years (DALYs) lost in the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU). The DALYs lost in 2015 are converted into money using human capital (lost output) approach. The AMU total value of DALYs lost from all causes is the sum of each of the five country’s pecuniary value of DALYs (PVD) lost from all causes. The PVD associated with DALYs lost due to jth disease among persons of a specific age group is the product of the per capita non-health GDP in international dollars (Int$) and the total DALYs lost. The 27,175,610 DALYs lost in AMU in 2015 had a pecuniary value of Int$ 289,033,271,814, which is equivalent to 25.6% the sub-region’s 2015 GDP. The average pecuniary value per DALY lost was Int$ 10,636, which ranged from a minimum of Int$ 4226 in Mauritania to a maximum of Int$ 13,852 in Algeria. The pecuniary value of DALYs lost from all causes in the AMU sub-region annually is substantive.

The global aid landscape is rapidly changing. So-called ‘emerging’ or ‘non-traditional’ donors (ie, those that have only recently substantially stepped up their development finance support) are pushing the boundaries of existing aid practices. Among such non-traditional donors, China stands out as a major player because of its recent high-profile commitments, like the Belt and Road Initiative, and its major role in establishing new development finance institutions, such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. Although China is often thought of as a new donor, this categorisation is somewhat misleading: China has provided aid to fellow low-income and middle-income countries for decades. However, China’s role as a major financier of and leader in global development is a relatively recent phenomenon.
Health aid played a major role in China’s external aid even in its earliest days. Chinese medical teams were among China’s flagship foreign policy efforts; China dispatched its first medical team to Algeria in 1963.1 Chinese health aid typically involves transferring experience and lessons learnt from domestic successes. For example, based on China’s own success in controlling malaria, it sent medical teams to malaria endemic countries to advise on malaria control. Its aid primarily focuses on dispatching medical teams, providing in-kind medical equipment and drugs, building health infrastructure and assisting in the prevention and control of infectious diseases, particularly malaria.2
In the last few years, health has played a much more prominent role in China’s foreign engagement. To complement the Belt and Road Initiative’s focus on infrastructure, China signed a memorandum of understanding with the World Health Organization for a ‘Health Silk Road’.3 Health was also front and centre at the latest Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC): global health was one of eight main initiatives committed to by President Xi and African leaders.4 On the sidelines of the …

CONTEXT: The Maghreb Central, like all the countries of the world, was strongly mobilized (governments, ministries of health, population, civil society) in the response against COVID-19, immediately after the registration of the first cases on its territory (end of February, beginning of March) and according to pre-established control strategies. OBJECTIVES: Describe the perceptions of health professionals in the Central Maghreb (Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco) as to the Strengths/Opportunities and Weaknesses/Threats of the national response plans against COVID-19, during the first weeks of their execution, and report their proposals for optimizing the performance of control strategies. METHODS: This is a qualitative study of the perceptions of health professionals in the Maghreb Central regarding their experience of the first six weeks of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. The data was collected using the Delphi technique in one turn, based on an electronic form such as Google Form, developed according to SWOT analysis. The respondents' verbatim was grouped into homogeneous groups of items, the occurrence of which was subsequently measured. RESULTS: A total of 382 health professionals from the Maghreb Central participated in this study, with a median age of 37 years and a median professional tenure of 10 years. The major force of the Maghreb response strategies, the most shared by the respondents, was the performance of the human resources mobilized (doctors, biologists, nurses, etc.) who succeeded in quickly learning from the international epidemiological expertise accumulated in Asia and in Europe. The fight against COVID-19 in the Central Maghreb was confronted with the general and chronic fragility of the national health systems and the low support of the general population for the recommendations of the steering committees of response, threatening the capacity of the Maghreb to confront new epidemics. CONCLUSION: The success of the national response plans against COVID-19 and of possible epidemics or pandemics in the Central Maghreb, is strongly attributed to the commitment of health professionals and to community participation, necessitating the launch of assistant motivation programs. and development of health personnel and mobilization and loyalty of civil society.

Lockdown measures have been adopted in many countries around the world to control the spread of COVID-19. These measures induced long confinement period that may have had an unintended negative impact on children's life behaviors and health. This study aimed to investigate the impact of behaviors related to COVID-19 confinement on body weight/BMI changes in children from Constantine, Algeria. This was a cross-sectional survey based on children aged 5 to 12 years dwelling in any province of Constantine. Parents of children completed an online-distributed questionnaire at two time points (between April and May and anther time between 11th July and 10th august 2020). The questionnaire assessed sociodemographic information, anthropometric data, physical activity, dietary, eating habits, and other factors related to children’s lifestyle before and during lockdown. Paired before and during lockdown comparison for each lifestyle multiple statistic tests were performed to assess associations among before and during lockdown data. 275 questionnaires were completed (59.7%). Mean self-reported weight and BMI significantly increased by 1.43 kg and 0.84 kg/meter 2, respectively. Among the examined variables, increased unhealthy food consumption, snacks, number of daily meals taken, low physical activity and increased sedentary behaviors were significantly correlated with higher body weight gain (P < 0.005). These behaviors may not only have a significant impact on the development of childhood obesity but also on the deterioration of the mental state of the children surveyed. Restrictive measures during the COVID-19 lockdown, and home confinement, school closure makes children more vulnerable to environmental risks. Results from this study highlight the risk associated with a shift in eating habits, increased dietary intake, decreased physical activity, increased sedentary behaviors, and their impact in exacerbating the gain in body weight and BMI.

Cancer is a major public health problem in Algeria. The aim of this article was to estimate trends in cancer incidence in Oran, Algeria, over the period 1996-2019.Nine cancer sites were analyzed. Incidence data over the 1996-2019 period were collected from the Oran cancer registry. The annual percent changes in incidence rates were evaluated with Joinpoint analysis.Between 1996 and 2019, unfavorable trends in incidence were observed for lung and colorectal cancers in both sexes, as well as female breast cancer. In contrast, a continuous decrease in incidence rates of cervical cancer were observed. As for the prostate, no corresponding trend was emerged for this cancer.The upward trend in incidence rates for some cancers underscores the need to strengthen prevention efforts.

The Hajj is a unique annual mass gathering that is mandated on all able Muslims as a central tenet of their faith. As a result of this, each year over 2 million pilgrims from more than 160 countries congregate in Mecca. Given the overcrowded conditions that characterize the pilgrimage, respiratory infections are a leading cause of morbidity in pilgrims,1Meysamie A. Ardakani H.Z. Ravazi S.M. Doroodi T.

The male-to-female sex ratio was 1.19 and the median age was 62 years (range 19–87 years). Most of the individuals were traveling to Saudi Arabia for the first time (72.5%). Countries of birth were located mainly in North Africa (90.7%), with 48.7% in Algeria, 25.0% in Morocco, and 15.0% in Tunisia. The remaining pilgrims were born in France (6.5%) or elsewhere in Africa and Europe (4.7%). Most foreign-born pilgrims appeared to have lived in France for at least 20 years (83.1%). Only 11 (1.7%) individuals declared that they were vaccinated against IPD before consulting, while 198 (31.3%) had an indication for vaccination according to French guidelines, independent of their project to perform the Hajj (recommended in the general adult population with certain chronic conditions only) and 353 (55.9%) had an indication according to US guidelines, where vaccination is routinely indicated in individuals aged over 64 years and in those under 64 with certain chronic conditions.9Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); Advisory Committee on Immunization PracticesUpdated recommendations for prevention of invasive pneumococcal disease among adults using the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23).MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2010; 59: 1102-1106PubMed Google Scholar, 10Haut Conseil de la Santé PubliqueLe calendrier des vaccinations et les recommandations vaccinales 2011 selon l’avis du Haut Conseil de la Santé Publique.Bull Epidemiol Hebdo. 2011; 10-11: 101-156Google Scholar Pilgrims originating from Algeria were significantly more likely to have an indication (68.5%) compared to others (43.8%), by American guidelines for pneumococcal vaccination (odds ratio 2.79, 95% confidence interval 1.99–3.95).

Dysentery is an infectious clinical syndrome which can cause high morbidity and mortality, especially in developing countries. This research highlights the epidemiological features of dysentery in Lemghaier province, Algeria.A retrospective study of the incidence rates of dysentery in Lemghaier province, Algeria and overall for the whole country for the period from January 2001 to December 2018 was carried out. On a local level data were provided by the Directorate of Health and Population of El-Oued province, Algeria. At the national level data were provided by the National Public Health Institute, Algeria.An overall number of 1,786 cases of dysentery were notified, with an incidence rate of 58.5 cases per 100,000 population (mean±SD: 58.54±47.20; 95% CI: 36.73-80.35). The high incidence rate was reported in autumn and summer, respectively, with 23.4 and 20.1 cases per 100,000 population. The high incidence rate observed in the persons aged 20-44 years with 76.4 cases per 100,000 population. Females were more likely to have dysentery than males, respectively, with 63.6 against 53.7 cases per 100,000 population. The highest incidence rate was reported in Lemghaier municipality (capital of the province) with 176.9 cases per 100,000 population.The results from this research showed high incidence rates of dysentery in Lemghaier province, Algeria. Тhis fact is a serious reason for national public health organizations to take adequate and timely measures to reduce the incidence rates of dysentery in this part of the country.

Influenza has been a growing concern for the public health decision makers/policy makers. Indeed, they are in need of a real geo-making tool for monitoring and surveillance. The chapter aims to introduce a novel spatiotemporal decision system based on multicriteria ranking method, information geographic system (GIS), and SEIRSW system for public health. The later was designed, implemented, and validated in previous research for influenza risk assessment. The authors highlight the use of PROMETHEE II ranking method of multi-criteria decision analysis in GIS that incorporates various factors to monitor and identify potential high-risk areas of seasonal influenza and disease mapping. Factors related to the risk of seasonal influenza are obtained from simulation system and constitute the input values of PROMETHEE II ranking method for the 26 communes of the city of Oran, Algeria. The proposed system has demonstrated analytical capabilities in targeting high-risk spots and influenza surveillance monitoring system and it can help public health policy makers prioritize in their response goals and evaluate control strategies.

Thanks to the national programme of malaria eradication carried out between 1968 and 1972, there has been no active transmission of the parasitosis in Tunisia since the last indigenous case in 1979. Since 1980, with the increase in international exchanges especially with sub-Saharian countries, only imported cases of malaria have been reported in Tunisia. A retrospective and thorough survey of malaria cases diagnosed in the laboratory of parasitology of the Pasteur Institute in Tunis from 1980 to 1995 determined the epidemiological characteristics of this imported parasitosis. All in all, during the sixteen years following eradication, 245 cases were registered. The majority of cases (86.2%) was diagnosed by a systematic control of groups at risk within the national programme of malaria eradication. The remaining 13.8% cases sought medical advice when clinical symptoms appeared after their return from endemic countries. The population most affected by imported malaria were men (sex-ratio: 6.8) aged between 20 and 40 years (76% of cases); 38% were Tunisians having sojourned in an endemic country, essentially students from sub-Saharian Africa. The presumed country of contamination was African in 92.7% of the cases. Entrance into Tunisia by patients was mainly by air; 4% of the registered cases had come by land from Algeria. Sound knowledge of the epidemiological characteristics of imported malaria would make for a better follow-up of the affected population and thus reduce the probability of repeated transmission.

• Trichinosis exemplifies the importance of helminthic diseases in this country; the number of cases of trichinosis in the United States exceeds that in any other country in the world. Tropical diseases are brought to the United States by people returning or immigrating from other countries; an example is American trypanosomiasis, the first case of which in the United States was reported in Texas in 1955. Schistosoma mansoni and Wuchereria bancrofti are being brought to the mainland of the United States from the West Indies, especially from Puerto Rico. Many cases of schistosomiasis have been reported since 1950, especially in northern cities such as New York and Chicago. Parasites endemic in one area within the United States are carried occasionally into other areas, as is illustrated by an outbreak of infestation with Strongyloides in a school in Illinois after the arrival of children from New Mexico. The authors give many other examples, and the fact that these problems are not peculiar to the United States is illustrated by recent migrations of Jamaicans to England, Indonesians to Holland, and Algerians to France. Two million American tourists have visited foreign countries since World War II. Increased attention to the principles of sanitation and hygiene is urgently needed in order to reduce the disability now caused by parasites and to prevent parasites from establishing themselves in new areas.

Childhood obesity is a serious public health problem and its prevalence is increasing worldwide.Before a prevention approach, it is essential to make a diagnosis on the problem and its risk factors.We opted for a cross-sectional survey of 293 primary students of Sougueur.The prevalence of overweight including obesity according to IOTF cutoffs was 8.18%. A significant relationship existed between obesity and educational level of parents, level of physical activity; taking a snack and skipping the dinner. Our results seem much lower than published values. We find that excess food intake and light exercise can trigger overweight.In Algeria, it is time to launch programs for good nutritional information and a sufficient physical activity in children.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the attitudes towards the lifting of confinement. Methods: The data were collected using a questionnaire applied to 344 people in different regions of Algeria from April 21, 2020, for two weeks afterward, in order to determine the attitudes of the Algerian people towards the post-coronavirus COVID -19 phase. Results: The results of this study indicate that 94.2% of respondents insist on lifting the confinement to apply gradually and partially. Accordingly, there is a significant impact of gender and age on social attitudes towards the post-coronavirus phase. Similarly, the results highlighted the existence of a positive level of attitude towards the post-coronavirus phase COVID-19 in the need to digitize education, digitize social transactions, and develop sustainable transport and the public health sector. Results: People living in confinement indicate that it is necessary to prepare for the post-coronavirus period, in particular through the vital sectors linked to daily life.

Meat is a food of animal origin, which can be contaminated by infectious, parasitic and other non-infectious agents responsible for diseases, which threaten the health of consumers. This still poses a public health problem in Algeria and in many countries. In order to assess the epidemiological situation of certain diseases in the Taher region in Jijel and to determine the influence of certain variation factors and to estimate the risk on public health, a study was extended over a period of 14 months on a total of 1756 cattle slaughtered at the Taher slaughterhouse. The results showed that 609 cattle (34.68%) showed lesions. The highest rate of pathological findings was observed on the liver (37.27%) followed by the lungs (30.21%). The lowest rate was recorded on the digestive system (0.33%) followed by the kidneys (1.14%). In addition, the liver and lungs were more contaminated with hydatid cyst compared to other organs (20.69%, 19.05%, respectively). Our data showed that the diseases affected more females (55.82%) than males (44.17%) (p < 0.001). Furthermore, cattle aged between 3 and 5 years were the most affected (43.51%) and local breed cattle showed more lesions (71.59%). These results testify to the real risk represented by the consumption of organs affected by diseases, and the need to recognize the agents of contamination and the mode of transmission and to implement an extension and control program in this region depending on the epidemiological aspect of the lesions.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the Maghreb and around the world. It's the most common cause of cancer deaths. It represents a major public health problem because of its frequency, morbidity and mortality that it generates as well as the cost of the therapies used. Epidemiological data are similar in the 3 countries of the Maghreb (Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria). Currently, the incidence of breast cancer is lower than in developed countries, but is increasing steadily, and projections for the coming years predict that rates will be closer to the European ones. The diagnosis is often done at advanced stages compromising the prognosis of the patients. Strategies to combat this cancer remain insufficient and further efforts are needed to improve the situation.

Malaria deaths and cases have been common among people living in tropical climatic countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Mali, etc. Malaria is one of the leading causes of deaths in Nigeria and every person in Nigeria experiences at least three episodes of malaria sickness every year. Many efforts in the past to reduce malaria incidence and burden to patients have not proven successful as resistant strains of mosquitos emerge. Malaria incidence in Nigeria has risen to a hyper-endemic level over some decades whereas countries like Algeria, Morocco and Argentina etc. have controlled and eradicated malaria by following international intervention programs by the World Health Organization and similar agencies. Malaria is of public health concern in Nigeria. Through a review of literature and lived experiences, the author identified and discussed the political and biosocial contexts: ecological, economic, communication, and infrastructural conditions that pose challenge to eradication programs. Recommendations were made to set up surveillance and monitoring system, restructuring the funding and management system, improving community partnership, and promoting health education.

This paper describes results of a study on perceptions and behaviors of families concerning care of sick children, within the context of the Algerian health system as it functioned in two zones, Aïn Taya and Tigzirt, in 1991. One hundred twenty families in the two zones were interviewed at home on the health seeking process during a recent illness episode of an under-5 child. Results show families make extensive use of curative health services for children, with apparently little use of traditional medicine, and only initial use of home remedies. Access to public services is often difficult due to distance, while incompetence, long waiting times, favoritism, lack of material, and poor communication with health personnel constitute families' main complaints. Use of private physicians, in spite of costs, is considered a gain in time, and rapport and communication are better. Results of the research among these families are discussed in relation to those from a study carried out at the same time among health professionals, results which show deep dissatisfaction on their part as to the means put at their disposal and with the quality of relationships maintained with the administration on the one hand, and with the client population on the other. Improving the public health sector in Algeria will entail greater investment in the quality of peripheral services, and training of health personnel in better communication skills.

North Africa is home to more than 200 million people living across five developing economies (Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco) and two Spanish exclaves (Ceuta and Melilla), many of whom are impacted by ticks and tick-borne zoonoses. Populations in Europe are also increasingly vulnerable to North African ticks and tick-borne zoonoses due to a combination of climate change and the movement of ticks across the Mediterranean on migratory birds, human travellers, and trafficked wildlife. The human-biting ticks and tick-borne zoonoses in North Africa are reviewed along with their distribution in the region. We also assess present and future challenges associated with ticks and tick-borne zoonoses in North African and highlight opportunities for collaboration and coordination between governments in Europe and North Africa to address public health challenges posed by North African ticks and tick-borne zoonoses.

Tobacco is the leading preventable cause of death in the world and kills up to seven million people each year. Monitoring its prevalence is important for prevention programs. The aim of this work was to summarize the literature on the prevalence of smoking in the Maghreb countries during the past two decades.The research was conducted on Medline via Pubmed based on the Mesh terms: «Tobacco Use», «Smoking» and «Africa, Northern». Were included articles reporting the prevalence of current smoking in the general population or a subgroup of the population in one or more Maghreb countries. The extracted data was related to current smoking, its definition, total prevalence and prevalence by sex.About 50 articles were included, the data was mainly from Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. Two studies reported prevalence among college students in Libya. The highest prevalences in the general population were noted in Tunisia with an overall prevalence, during the period studied, of 25% (95% CI [21% -29%]). This prevalence was 16% (95% CI [14% -18%]) in Morocco and 14% (95% CI [8% -22%]) in Algeria.The prevalence reported was generally high, especially in Tunisia, although lower than in developed countries, hence the importance of setting up and strengthening prevention and control measures, mainly among young people.

Tuberculosis remains a public health problem worldwide. Neurological localization is the most severe manifestation of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis characterized by a high mortality rate and a high rate of sequelae among survivors; its diagnosis is hampered by the absence of rapid and accurate tools, therefore it is often evoked and treated on presumption arguments. The aim of this study is to assess the epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic, treatment, and outcome features in patients with cerebro-meningeal tuberculosis in Setif-Algeria.

In 2018 prion disease was detected in camels at an abattoir in Algeria for the first time. The emergence of prion disease in this species made it prudent to assess the probability of entry of the pathogen into the United Kingdom (UK) from this region. Potentially contaminated products were identified as evidenced by other prion diseases. The aggregated probability of entry of the pathogen was estimated as very high and high for legal milk and cheese imports respectively and very high, high and high for illegal meat, milk and cheese products respectively. This aggregated probability represents a qualitative assessment of the probability of one or more entry events per year into the UK; it gives no indication of the number of entry events per year. The uncertainty associated with these estimates was high due to the unknown variation in prevalence of infection in camels and an uncertain number and type of illegal products entering the UK. Potential public health implications of this pathogen are unknown although there is currently no evidence of zoonotic transmission of prion diseases other than bovine spongiform encephalopathy to humans.

Introduction: Brucellosis is one of the most important worldwide zoonotic diseases caused by the bacterial genus Brucella. It is frequently misdiagnosed and can therefore lead to inappropriate treatment and prolonged disease. This study aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of human brucellosis cases and compare it with the national average and the number of goat brucellosis cases in Algeria.
 Materials and methods: A total of 3223 patients suspected of brucellosis were collected during 2008-2015 in Djelfa, central Algeria. Rose Bengal test and Wright's serum agglutination were used for the diagnosis.
 Results: The number of positive cases was 1281 (39.74%), including 743 (58.04%) men and 537 (41.96%) women, resulting in a ratio of 1.38. Men were infected more than women. The number of positive cases was observed frequently between April and September. However, there was no significant difference among the investigated years in terms of infection. The highest prevalence was observed in individuals aged between 11 and 30 years (21.62-22.32%). The seroprevalence of human brucellosis in the current study in Djelfa was significantly higher, compared to the national level. The number of animals (goats) and human cases reported at the national level and Djelfa followed a similar trend.
 Conclusion: Brucellosis still remains a serious public health threat in the study area. Epidemiological surveillance of brucellosis should be considered a priority in order to reduce the prevalence of human and animal brucellosis.

Breast cancer in Algeria, like everywhere else in the world, is a major public health problem. For several years, women with breast cancer have benefited from increasingly effective and more and more personalized treatments, the management of which depends on the stage of development of the tumor, its characteristics, age and condition. patient's state of health. Since the 2000s, patients admitted to the pathological anatomy service of the CHU of Sidi bel abbés have been systematically evaluated HER2, in order to recruit those who could benefit from targeted therapy (Herceptin

The present cross-sectional study aimed to highlight some epidemiological and clinical features of scorpion stings in Sidi Okba, Algeria. The 2016 designed questionnaires for stung patients admitted between January 2014 and December 2015 in the different care units affiliated to public health care establishment Sidi Okba were reviewed and analysed. The analysis revealed that scorpion stings occur mainly in rural areas (66.1%), outside dwellings (54.2%), are observed round the clock throughout the year with the highest seasonal incidence in summer (43.2%). There were approximately 11 stings per year per 1000 inhabitants. Males were more affected than females with 62.5% of recorded stings. Almost half of the victims were aged between 20 and 40 years old and the most prone human body areas to stings were the upper and lower limbs (93.7%). The majority of cases (99%) were classified as mild and systemic toxicity was observed in 19 cases including two deaths. An efficient management of scorpion envenomation requires an active involvement of the public in decision-making processes along with the development of intersectoral actions. Scorpionism, as a health issue, requires not only more attention from scholars and researchers, but also multidisciplinary scientific collaboration.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a parasitic infection which poses a real public health problem in various countries, including Algeria. We aimed in this study to investigate the current epidemiological situation of CL in the wilaya of Batna (northeastern Algeria) during 2010-2020 and to discuss some control measures used to combat the disease in the most endemic foci. Data on CL cases and control measures were obtained from the "Direction de la Santé et de la Population (DSP) of Batna" and the "Etablissement Public de la Santé de Proximité (EPSP) of Barika". Data were analyzed and mapped using Microsoft Office Excel 2007, SPSS.21, and ArcGIS 10.3. A total of 9259 cases were notified, with a peak incidence of 1924 cases in 2010. The annual evolution of the disease showed decreasing and increasing trends during the study period. Cases were detected year-round, with a peak notification in November (1957 cases) and January (1663 cases). CL affects both genders and all age groups with predominance for males (58.6%) and infants less than 9 years old (54.4%). Most cases have occurred in western areas of the wilaya especially in the commune of Barika with 2979 cases (32.17%), followed by Abdelkader Azil (13.37%), Bitam (12.32%), Djezzar (8.67%), Ouled Ammar (7.07%), and Amdoukal (4.36%) communes. Spatiotemporal analysis showed that the highest frequencies of CL were exclusively reported in the western regions. There was no evidence of a possible relationship between Deltamethrin house spraying and leishmaniasis incidence. This study revealed that CL is highly endemic in the western areas of Batna, especially in Barika, with children less than 9 years old as the most age group at risk. The development of control measures and the selection of appropriate strategies are necessary to prevent, control, and eradicate the disease.

Undernutrition (stunting, wasting and underweight) among children remains a public health concern in North Africa, especially following recent conflicts in the region. Therefore, this paper systematically reviews and meta-analyses the prevalence of undernutrition among children under five in North Africa to determine whether efforts to reduce undernutrition are on track to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Eligible studies published between 1st January 2006 and 10th April 2022 were searched for, using five electronic bibliographic databases (Ovid MEDLINE, Web of Science, Embase (Ovid), ProQuest and CINAHL). The JBI critical appraisal tool was used, and a meta-analysis was conducted using the 'metaprop' command in STATA, to estimate the prevalence of each undernutrition indicator in the seven North African countries (Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and Western Sahara). Due to the significant heterogeneity among studies (I2 >50%), a random effect model and sensitivity analysis were conducted to examine the effect of outliers. Out of 1592 initially identified, 27 met the selection criteria. The prevalence of stunting, wasting and being underweight were 23.5%, 7.9% and 12.9%, respectively. Significant variations between the countries with the highest rates of stunting and wasting were reported in Sudan (36%, 14.1%), Egypt (23.7%, 7.5%), Libya (23.1%, 5.9%), and Morocco (19.9%, 5.1%). Sudan also had the highest prevalence of underweight (24.6%), followed by Egypt (7%), Morocco (6.1%), and Libya (4.3%) with more than one in ten children in Algeria and Tunisia having stunted growth. In conclusion, undernutrition is widespread in the North African region, particularly in Sudan, Egypt, Libya, and Morocco, making it challenging to meet the SDGs by 2030. Nutrition monitoring and evaluation in these countries is highly recommended.

The management of Health Care Wastes (HCW) is receiving greater attention because of the risks to both human health and the environment caused by inadequate waste management practices. In the past health care waste was often mixed with municipal solid waste and disposed of in residential waste landfills or improper treatment facilities (e.g. inadequately controlled incinerators). In recent years, many efforts have been made by environmental regulatory agencies to better manage the waste from healthcare facilities Medical waste incineration is identified as the most preferred disposal method. In Algeria, the statistics on the health care waste worry, especially since their treatment does not join in an ecological approach. This waste is considered dangerous for the public health and source of pollution for the environment. This situation requires an organized system of health care waste management to curb public health risks as well as occupational hazards among health care workers as a result of poor in waste management. This paper presents an overview of the current management practices of health care waste in the hospital of Batna city. Data were collected via surveys, interviews, and on-site observations. Information regarding generation, composition, segregation, transportation, and disposal of health care wastes is provided and discussed. Also, this study focused on the impact of poor management of HCW to handlers, public health and the environment 1 .

The epidemiology of Maternal Mortality (MM) associated with practical field specificities led, inter alia, to adopt consensus approaches developed by international community in order to control the situation (MM in 2015 of 303000 with 830 daily deaths by perinatal complications). Application degree of these approaches, while based on scientific evidence, remains country-dependent, with emerging problems within large geographical entities. This is the case of the Maghreb countries* that are facing concrete realities requiring better state commitment, allocation of resources and time, and improved accessibility to the continuum of care. Public health remains the leading discipline in maternal health offering expertise in analysis and intervention that will not be enough to implement effective programs, because it is essential to consider practical realities, often poorly known or ignored. The required efficiency needs a large, egalitarian and multi-disciplinary partnership with socio-anthropology, health economics, political science and political and community mobilization specialists. Strategies adopted by Maghreb countries* must be updated and adapted to national and then regional specificities by involving stakeholders in concerned sectors. In addition, to implant mechanisms ensuring best governance and actor's accountability, it is a priority to support quality assurance projects, institutionalize partnerships between different care levels and opt to accreditation of maternal health care structures and services. A depth reflection seam necessary for implementation of mobile health support schemes that provide maternal care with enhanced proximity and better adaptation to real needs of communities. * The article concerns exclusively the following 3 countries: Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.

Delivery of kidney care in Africa is significantly constrained by various factors. In this review, we used International Society of Nephrology–Global Kidney Health Atlas (ISN–GKHA) data for Africa to address sub-regional differences in care delivery in the continent with focus on infrastructure, workforce, and the economic aspects of kidney care. Forty two African countries participated in the survey conducted in 2018. North Africa had the highest proportions of nephrologists [12.53 per million population (pmp)], nephrology trainees (2.19 pmp) and haemodialysis (HD) centres (8.58 pmp); whereas southern Africa had the highest proportions of peritoneal dialysis (PD) centres (0.89 pmp) and kidney transplant (KT) centres (0.29 pmp); West Africa had the greatest nephrology workforce shortages. The annual median costs of HD (US$22,731 [interquartile range (IQR): US$1,560–43,902]) and PD (US$34,165 [US$34,165–34,165]) were highest in Central Africa and only Algeria, Egypt and South Africa reported zero co-payment for all modalities of kidney replacement therapy in the public sector. Policies on chronic kidney disease and non-communicable diseases were scarcely available across all African sub-regions. The ISN–GKHA African data highlight a stark difference in kidney care measures between North and sub-Saharan Africa and also suggest the need for a more cohesive approach to policy formulations that support and protect patients with kidney disease in the continent, especially from the excessive costs associated with care. Using the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Action Plan for noncommunicable diseases, this paper proposes an African roadmap for optimal kidney care.

The Communal Hygiene Office (CHO) is a technical service part of the town, responsible for ensuring the cleanliness and public safety of the population. In this work, a retrospective study of the missions of the Municipal or Communal Hygiene Service of Bechar (Algeria) for the period from 2015 to 2017 is made according to the decree 87-146 of June 30 (1987) relative to the creation of the CHO. The results showed the role of CHO in hygiene and public health, prevention of food poisoning, control of waterborne diseases and zoonotic diseases which rate 60 % of missions (average of 6 inspections per year) aim at hygiene and sanitation in food-related commercial premises. There is an increase in the number of commercial premises due to the growth of the city and that the CHO tries to be dynamic towards this development. Moreover, the improvement in commercial premises with the awareness of the tradesmen is remarkable. This is attributed to the role of CHO in awareness and prevention action rather than repressive action. The authorities must provide the CHO with all the materials and human resources to facilitate its work and to increase its profitability and efficiency.

A dangerous myth has been cloaked around the young body of global health. It is a myth that hides uncomfortable truths about inequalities of power. It is a deception that erases important histories, marginalises already neglected peoples, and prevents accurate understanding of why progress towards sustainable health improvements in some of the most resource-poor settings is so slow and erratic. In 2013, The New England Journal of Medicine published two articles that sought to explain the emergence of global health and how global health should evolve in the future. Allan Brandt, a distinguished Harvard medical historian, argued that “the HIV epidemic and the responses it generated have been crucial forces in ‘inventing’ the new ‘global health.’” He claimed that AIDS had disrupted old thinking in international health, challenging divisions between public health and clinical medicine, disease prevention and treatment. AIDS unleashed a new era of health activism that put those living with the disease at the forefront of advocacy. The AIDS response triggered unrivalled investments in health, led to the creation of new public, private, and philanthropic global health institutions, and contributed substantially to the central place of health in the UN-led Millennium Development Goals. The AIDS movement enshrined all of these innovations in a robust framework of human rights. Brandt concluded: “When the history of the HIV epidemic is eventually written, it will be important to recognise that without this epidemic there would be no global health movement as we know it today.” In a companion paper, Peter Piot and Thomas Quinn argued that the “unprecedented global response to the AIDS pandemic can serve as a paradigm for the response to other global health threats”. What is became what should be. The descriptive was transformed into the normative. These positions have become axioms of modern global health. While the HIV epidemic has been (and continues to be) an important force in shaping global health, it is an error to assign a single disease as its point of origin. To do so jeopardises efforts to advance health, liberty, and equity for the most disadvantaged communities on our planet. Global health is not merely a constellation of diseases, a collection of national health systems, or even a set of values. It is a way of looking at our world. It seeks to observe, document, monitor, interpret, and eliminate the harms that accrue from national and transnational forces inimical to health—political, commercial, military, financial, diplomatic, legal, intersectional, and cultural. Global health is about power and poverty, violence and exploitation, oppression and silence, and collusion and exclusion. If one views global health using this broader lens, the historical turn that was the decisive and creative moment for the birth of global health was surely decolonisation. It was decolonisation, beginning in the 1950s with legacies that continue to this day, which illuminated the myriad pressures that shape the health of peoples worldwide. And the person who wrote the first manifestos for global health was Frantz Fanon. Fanon was born in Martinique on July 20, 1925. He died from leukaemia in Bethesda, Maryland, on Dec 6, 1961, aged just 36. Yet in his short life he wrote three books—Black Skin, White Masks (1952), A Dying Colonialism (1959), and The Wretched of the Earth (1961)—together with dozens of essays and articles, some of which are collected in Toward the African Revolution (1964) and, most recently, Alienation and Freedom (2018). Fanon applied his clinical and psychiatric education to understand “the Black–White relationship”. Through the use of what he called “sociodiagnostics”, he anatomised settler-colonialism, its racism, psychology, and shame. He described the way medicine was co-opted as a tool for colonial control. He explored the repressive motives of European civilisation. By studying and taking part in the struggle for Algerian independence, he described a political path towards resistance and eventual decolonisation. He set out the responsibilities and duties of intellectuals in these struggles. He foresaw the betrayals ahead in post-colonial worlds. He traced the links between neoliberalism and neocolonialism. And he sought nothing less than to define a new theory of humankind and to reintroduce that humankind to the world. At this time of global fracture and anti-Otherness, Frantz Fanon, largely forgotten and never discussed, deserves to have his memory reclaimed, his writings read, and his ideas resurrected.

Introduction. From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, calls for taking certain dietary supplements were launched to prevent or treat this disease. Given the novelty of the subject, there are few national or international data on their consumption by the general public. Objective. To explore changes in dietary supplement consumption before and during this pandemic. Population and methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out online using a questionnaire, among 1000 Algerian citizens. Results. The prevalence of dietary supplement consumption doubled during this crisis (29.4% before vs 63.4% after the pandemic). Overall, a significant increase was noted in vitamins minerals, trace elements, and plant supplements intake, and was respectively 24.7%, 18.4% and 9.2% before vs 58.0%, 50.0% and 26.0% during the pandemic. The major changes concerned supplements based on vitamins (Vit.) C and D, zinc, magnesium, selenium, cloves, ginger, turmeric, liquorice, and omega-3. Conclusion. Although the scientific debate about the health impact of dietary supplements is endless, their consumption continues to increase. The biggest challenge now is to standardize their indications.

Cancer surveillance data provide information on the incidence and trends of cancer in the population level. Analyzing cancer trends according to these characteristics plays an important role in cancer surveillance. Knowledge of the causes of cancer allow better prevent the appearance of it. A large number of epidemiological evidence supporting the effect of smoking on the causes of cancer there is strong evidence supporting a role for smoking in the etiology of cancers. Alcohol appears to interact with the tobacco significantly and can be considered a risk factor in the development of cancers. Obesity which is now well recognized as a public health problem increases the risk of developing cancers. All these factors are characterized by uncertainty, complexity and imprecision. Methods: In this study, we propose an analysis of these factors based on the principles of fuzzy logic inference system. The data were collected from Setif cancer registry in Algeria. As this technique addresses the uncertain, its application in this area is perfectly adequate. Results: A database is established, after the analysis system is done, it will be possible to read the prevalence of cancer by introducing randomly the values in inputs variables. Conclusion: like cancer has become a national scourge, this application allows predicting the impact of it just from the introduction inputs variables such as BMI, degree of physical activity, tobacco and sex

In their excellent Seminar on iodine-deficiency disorders (Oct 4, p 1251),1Zimmermann MB Jooste PL Pandav CS Iodine-deficiency disorders.Lancet. 2008; 372: 1251-1262Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (682) Google Scholar Michael Zimmermann and colleagues highlight the growing problem of excess iodine intake in some sub-Saharan African countries. However, they do not address concerns regarding excessive iodine intake in refugee and displaced populations within the region. Sub-Saharan Africa has an estimated 16 million refugees and displaced people, many of whom rely on iodised salt provided through food aid from regional governments and international aid agencies.2International Organization for MigrationWorld migration report 2005: costs and benefits of international migration. International Organization for Migration, Geneva2005http://www.iom.int/jahia/Jahia/cache/offonce/pid/1674?entryId=932Google Scholar A survey in refugee settlements across several African countries including Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Zambia, and Algeria revealed excessive dietary iodine associated with overiodisation of salt supplies.3Seal AJ Creeke PI Gnat D Abdalla F Mirghani Z Excess dietary iodine intake in long-term African refugees.Public Health Nutr. 2006; 9: 35-39Crossref PubMed Scopus (33) Google Scholar A similar situation was reported in Sudanese children dependent on humanitarian food assistance.4Izzeldin HS Crawford MA Jooste PL Population living in the Red Sea State of Sudan may need urgent intervention to correct the excess dietary iodine intake.Nutr Health. 2007; 18: 333-341Crossref PubMed Scopus (14) Google Scholar These reports call for urgent monitoring of iodisation in displaced African populations. Vigilance is particularly required where migrant flows arise from severely deficient areas. As noted by Zimmermann and colleagues, precipitous increases in iodine can be harmful in individuals with pre-existing thyroid autonomy (ie, thyroids that can function in the absence of thyroid-stimulating hormone). The recorded deaths in Zimbabwe in the 1990s should serve as a reminder that iodine-induced hyperthyroidism is not always benign in poor communities with limited access to health-care facilities.5Todd CH Allain T Gomo ZA Hasler JA Ndiweni M Oken E Increase in thyrotoxicosis associated with iodine supplements in Zimbabwe.Lancet. 1995; 346: 1563-1564Abstract PubMed Google Scholar Nevertheless, the risks of iodisation should in no way deter from the ultimate goal of eliminating iodine deficiency. Rather, the task ahead must focus on developing sustainable systems for systematic collection of iodine nutrition data in African populations. Such information will allow appropriate correction of iodine deficiency with safe levels of iodisation. I declare that I have no conflict of interest.

For decades now, malaria has been an important public health concern in Africa, which bears the greatest burden for the disease, affecting children and adults alike. Although a few countries (Australia, Brunei, Singapore, and Algeria, among others) have previously eliminated malaria, the World Health Organization (WHO), on June 30, 2021, declared China malaria-free. This commentary seeks to explore what China did differently to eliminate malaria and what Africa can learn from China’s experience. First, Africa can use innovative tools and strategies used by China to attain success. Second, Africa can create a multi-sector collaboration among Heads of States in high burden malaria-affected countries by involving all stakeholders such as ministries of health, finance, research, education, development, public security, the army, police, commerce, industry, and information technology, customs, media and tourism to jointly fight malaria in all African countries. Furthermore, African countries could adapt the genetics-based approaches used by China in the elimination of mosquito breeding grounds. Finally, Africa can also adapt a better surveillance system of reporting on malaria daily as China did in their experience. Copyright © 2022 Ngwayu Nkfusai et al.

All countries of the world are facing an unprecedented crisis, where the anti-COVID19 policies applied vary from country to country. In North Africa, the number of confirmed cases has been limited, despite the region's proximity to Europe.In this study, we examine the statistical relationship between deaths attributable to COVID19 and confirmed cases of infection in North Africa. We used daily data provided by the ministries of health of the North African countries as well as the World Health Organisation (WHO). We conducted a prospective study using the three health indicators: cases confirmed by COVID19, deaths attributable to COVID19 and COVID19 recovered cases. We investigated the unobserved contributing factors that may increase the probability of disease spread through human-to-human transmission. We established a linear statistical relationship between deaths attributable to COVID19 and cases confirmed by COVID19 across the three North African countries namely Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. Our research is the first study that concerns the North African countries. The idea is to establish COVID19 database in order to optimize on the one side the analysis of information on actual or potential health deficiencies and on the other side to determine corrective actions. The main objective is to better manage the situation related to this pandemic and to capitalize on all the actions taken to prevent any potential public health crisis.

Abstract Background Attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines are the main determinants of herd immunity sought by public health authorities. Refusal and hesitancy are apparent expressions of negative attitudes. Statistics of Covid-19 vaccination by country (WHO 2022; Covid19taskforce 2022) showed the majority of the Algerian population are reluctant to be vaccinated against COVID-19. The main question raised by the present study is what causes are behind such hesitancy behavior towards COVID-19 vaccines. The aim of this study is to unveil factors, which influence attitudes towards the COVID-19 vaccine, in order to develop behavior change communication campaigns, and to set up a well-designed national strategy to get to a level of herd immunity. Subject and Methods To collect data, a semi-structured questionnaire was given to individuals. Results The results revealed that the majority of participants (63.55%) exhibit negative attitudes towards Covid-19 vaccine, and just a third of participants have positive attitudes towards vaccine. Factors influencing positive attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination are mainly inherent to personal convictions on the benefits of the vaccine. While, the main factors behind negative attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination, are inherent to the participants’ “naive explanation of COVID-19 pandemic” who rely on traditional medicine (indigenous medicine) and natural immunity and who exhibit “Mistrust towards health authorities”. Conclusion We have put forward recommendations to tackle factors causing negative attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination, and alleviate hurdles facing national strategy to eradicate the pandemic.

April is a busy month for days of emphasis in Global Health. On April 7, we mark the foundation of the World Health Organization (WHO) with World Health Day. On this date the WHO, to be headquartered in Geneva, came into being when the constitution was signed by a majority of members. The details of the first meeting and the aspirations for the work of the WHO are spelled out in the first issue of the WHO Chronicle.1 The 2015 World Health Day will emphasize the importance of food safety, a continuing public health problem.2 In early life, contaminated water and food causes diarrheal disease and a million child deaths each year, the second leading cause of death in children younger than 5 years. Most of these are preventable with clean water supplies, appropriate food hygiene, and adherence to WHO/UNICEF advice on breastfeeding.3 Later in the month, World Malaria Day is celebrated on April 25. It is interesting to note that the first WHO meeting on malaria was actually held several months before the WHO was formally established.1 One objective set by the emerging WHO was “the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health.” The first meeting of the Expert Committee noted “Malaria remains a great obstacle to the achievement of this objective. Now each year in April, the world remembers the burden placed on humanity by the Plasmodium protozoan parasite that still causes 200 million cases each year.4 Those of us who have worked in malarial areas know only too well its many clinical presentations. Young men with acute psychosis may actually have cerebral malaria and require urgent parental therapy, pregnant women with chronic anemia, and children with lethargy and splenomegaly are but a few of many presentations. Malaria features widely in the history of public health. The features of malaria have been described in literature going back almost 5000 years, first in China and then in ancient Egypt and Greece.4 In ad 300 Chinese physicians described the antipyretic effect of the Qinghao plant (Artemisia annua) and in 1971, Chinese researchers isolated its active component, artemesinin, which has become one of our mainstream drugs. Alphonse Laveran, a French army surgeon stationed in Algeria, first described the parasites in the blood of a patient suffering from malaria. Camillo Golgi, described the different forms of the parasite in blood cells. Both Laveran and Golgi were awarded the Nobel Prize for their contribution to tropical medicine and public health.5 In the Asia-Pacific region, malaria has often controlled human settlement with populations moving to highland regions, as in Papua New Guinea, or drier or cooler locations, as in China. Today it is estimated that 3.3 billion live in areas where they are at risk of acquiring a malaria infection. Malaria kills almost 600 000 each year, mostly children and the majority from Africa. In the Asia-Pacific region, it is still a major problem with 25 million cases and 50 000 deaths per

Background: Epidemic spread is a major public health problem. Rapid detection of the agent, identification of factors promoting spread of epidemic and effective treatment are important parameters in controlling the disease. The purpose of this research is to develop a novel epidemiological surveillance system based on Multi Criteria Analysis Method (MCAM) and Geographical Information System (GIS) technology integrated into a decision support system called SYstème Décisionnel Spatiotemporel pour l’EPidémiologie (SYDSEP). The later was designed, implemented and validated in previous research for tuberculosis risk assessment. Methods: We highlight the use of ELimination and Choice Expressing REality III (ELECTRE III) ranking method of MCAM in GIS that incorporate environment, socio-economic, medical factors to monitor and identify potential high-risk areas of tuberculosis and disease mapping. Factors related to the risk of tuberculosis are obtained from SYDSEP and constitute the input values of ELECTRE III ranking method for the 26 communes of the city of Oran (Algeria). Results: The outcomes from the combination of GIS and ELECTRE III produced useful information on different levels of risks. Thematic maps on incidence numbers of disease are created to classify the TB incidences from the highest level to the lowest level. Thus, we can easily obtain the major factors that influence the spread of disease and lead to increasing numbers of confirmed cases. Conclusion: GIS based ELECTRE III method within SYDSEP has demonstrated analytical capabilities in targeting high-risk spots and TB surveillance monitoring system of the city of Oran and it can help public health policy makers prioritizing their response goals and evaluating control strategies.

The world at large has been confronted with several disease outbreaks which have posed and still posing a serious menace to public health globally. Recently, COVID-19 a new kind of coronavirus emerge from Wuhan city in China and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. There has been reported case of about 10,021,401 with global death of 499,913 as of 15.15 GMT, June 29 2020. There are 382,190 and 9664 positive cases and deaths in Africa, respectively as of June 29 at 7:00 GMT. South-Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Ghana, Algeria and Cameroon are the most affected African countries with this outbreak. The chapter referred to them in this study as Africa epicenters’. Thus, there is a need to monitor and predict COVID-19 prevalence in this region for effective control and management. Different statistical tools and time series model such as the linear regression model and auto-regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models have been applied for disease prevalence/incidence prediction in different diseases outbreak. This book chapter adopted the linear regression model and the ARIMA models to forecast the trend of COVID-19 prevalence in the aforementioned African countries. The datasets examined in this analysis spanned from February 21, 2020, to October 4, 2020, and was extracted from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control website. The cumulative confirmed cases of COVID-19 cases were subjected to different curve estimation statistical models in simple, quadratic, cubic, and quartic forms. In the chapter, we identified the best model in each country and use the same for prediction and forecasting purposes. In conclusion, we obtained the future trend of this virus across Africa epicenters’ and this, in turn, will assist the government and health authorities to plan and take precautions that will help to curb this pandemic in Africa.

Soon after the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV), was first identified in a cluster of patients with pneumonia (Li et al., 2020Li Q. Guan X. Wu P. et al.Early transmission dynamics in Wuhan, China, of novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia.N Engl J Med. 2020; ([published online ahead of print, 2020 January 29])https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2001316Crossref Scopus (10232) Google Scholar), in the Chinese city of Wuhan on 31 December 2019, rapid human to human transmission was anticipated (Hui et al., 2020Hui D.S. I Azhar E. Madani T.A. et al.The continuing 2019-nCoV epidemic threat of novel coronaviruses to global health – the latest 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China.Int J Infect Dis. 2020; 91: 264-266https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijid.2020.01.009Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (2321) Google Scholar). The fast pace of transmission is wreaking havoc and stirring media hype and public health concern (Ippolito et al., 2020Ippolito G. Hui D.S. Ntoumi F. MAeurer M. Zumla A. Toning down the 2019-nCoV hype – and restoring hope.Lancet Resp Med. 2020; 8: 230-231https://doi.org/10.1016/S2213-2600(20)30070-9Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (50) Google Scholar) globally. When the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the disease, (now officially named COVID-19) a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on 31st January 2020 (WHO, 2020aWHO Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak.2020https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019Google Scholar), the Director General Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus justified the decision by stating that WHOs greatest concern was the potential for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems. Repeated outbreaks of other preventable emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases with epidemic potential have taken their toll on the health systems of many African countries. The devastating 2014–2016 Ebola Virus Epidemic (WHO, 2020bWHO Ebola outbreak 2014-2016.2020https://www.who.int/csr/disease/ebola/en/Google Scholar) in West Africa, demonstrated how ill-prepared the affected countries were to rapidly identify the infection and halt transmission (WHO, 2020dWHO Ebola virus disease.2020https://www.afro.who.int/health-topics/ebola-virus-diseaseGoogle Scholar, Largent, 2016Largent E.A. EBOLA and FDA: reviewing the response to the 2014 outbreak, to find lessons for the future.J Law Biosci. 2016; 3 ([published 2016 September 16]): 489-537https://doi.org/10.1093/jlb/lsw046Crossref PubMed Scopus (28) Google Scholar, Hoffman and Silverberg, 2018Hoffman S.J.

Similarly, the smoldering remnants of the 2018–19 Ebola Virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, have demonstrated even for health services with considerable experience of dealing with a certain emerging pathogen, geography and sociopolitical instability, can hamper the response (Aruna et al., 2019Aruna A.

A recent analysis of the spatial and temporal distribution of infectious disease epidemics, disasters and other potential public health emergencies in the WHO Africa Region highlighted that 41 African countries (87% of the continent) had at least one epidemic, and 21 countries (45%) had at least one epidemic annually (Talisuna et al., 2020Talisuna A.O. Okiro E.A. Yahaya A.A. et al.Spatial and temporal distribution of infectious disease epidemics, disasters and other potential public health emergencies in the World Health Organisation Africa region, 2016-2018.Global Health. 2020; 16 ([published 2020 January 15]): 9https://doi.org/10.1186/s12992-019-0540-4Crossref PubMed Scopus (39) Google Scholar). The top five causes of epidemics were Cholera, Measles, Viral haemorrhagic diseases, malaria and meningitis. Seven countries which experienced over 10 events, all had limited International Health Regulations (IHR) capacities which are now being developed. Most sub-Saharan African countries are operating at maximum capacity with the huge existing workload in hospitals and clinics. The WHO’s Joint External Evaluation reports, conducted since 2016, suggest that the ability to respond to an International Health Regulation hazard, such as the importation of an infectious disease like COVID-19, requires almost universal improvement across sub-Saharan Africa (WHO, 2020cWHO WHO African Region: JEE mission reports.2020https://www.who.int/ihr/procedures/mission-reports-africa/en/Google Scholar).Thus, it is essential for African countries to take the lead, become proactive and prepare surveillance systems for the rapid detection of any imported cases of COVID-19, to prevent rapid spread as seen in China. The question arises, ‘Is Africa prepared and equipped to deal with yet another outbreak of a highly infectious disease – COVID-19? The answer to the question is, it is better prepared than ever before. Substantial progress has been made since the 2014–16 Ebola outbreak (WHO, 2020dWHO Ebola virus disease.2020https://www.afro.who.int/health-topics/ebola-virus-diseaseGoogle Scholar), with lessons learned from previous and ongoing outbreaks, followed by significant investments into surveillance and preparedness (WHO, 2020dWHO Ebola virus disease.2020https://www.afro.who.int/health-topics/ebola-virus-diseaseGoogle Scholar, Largent, 2016Largent E.A.

Africa is now better prepared than ever before. Thus, African countries have been on heightened alert to detect and isolated any imported cases of COVID-19. There has been rapid response to the COVID-19 epidemic from Africa’s public health systems, well before any cases of COVID-19 had been reported from Africa. This response has been made possible with the re-organization of the WHO including the creation of the World Health Emergencies Programme; the establishment of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020http://www.africacdc.org/Africa centers for disease control and prevention. . [Accessed 17 February 2020].Google Scholar) and creation and funding of consortia such as the ONE-HUMAN-ANIMAL-HEALTH Africa-Europe research, training and capacity development network (PANDORA-ID-NET)(PANDORA-ID-NET, 2020PANDORA-ID-NET: Pan-African Network for rapid research and response and preparedness for infectious diseases epidemics. https://www.pandora-id.net/. [Accessed 17 February 2020].Google Scholar) for tackling emerging and re-emerging infections with epidemic potential. This ONE-HEALTH network works effectively and equitably together across all Africa regions, fully engaging with national disease control authorities and public health institutes, in close liaison with the Nigeria CDC, Africa CDC and other African and global public health agencies. Importantly, this consortium has allowed strengthening of communication and establishment of trust and ‘unity of purpose’ between African governments, Africa CDC, Nigeria CDC (Nigeria CDC, 2020Nigeria CDC 2020. https://ncdc.gov.ng/ncdc. [Accessed 18 February 2020].Google Scholar), local communities and the PANDORA-ID-NET consortium local African and European public health workers and scientists. An estimated 2 million Chinese nationals live and work in Africa, and there is increasing travel in the opposite direction, with people going to China for education, business and leisure. Prior to the travel restrictions imposed after the COVID-19 outbreak, there were an average of eight flights a day operated between China and African cities (Haider et al., 2020aHaider N. Yavlinsky A. Simons D. Osman A.Y. Ntoumi F. Zumla A. et al.Passengers’ destinations from China: low risk of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) transmission into Africa and South America.Epidemiol Infect. 2020; 148 (Published 2020 Feburary 26): e41https://doi.org/10.1017/S0950268820000424Crossref PubMed Scopus (91) Google Scholar, Haider et al., 2020bNajmul Haider, Alexei Yavlinsky, David Simons, Abdinasir Yusuf Osman, Francine Ntoumi, Alimuddin Zumla, Richard Kock. In press, Epidemiology and Infection.Google Scholar). There are ongoing efforts in Africa to prepare to deal with imported cases or subsequent local outbreaks of COVID-19, led by the Africa CDC, Nigeria CDC, African Union, PANDORA-ID-NET and other research and capacity development and training consortia. Many African countries have already introduced screening of arrivals for COVID-19 at airports, and at some seaports. ‘First public health emergency responders’ from African countries met in Senegal in early February 2020 to equip themselves with the latest advances on COVID-19 diagnostics (Corman et al., 2020Corman V.M. Landt O. Kaiser M. et al.Detection of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by real-time RT-PCR.Euro Surveill. 2020; 25https://doi.org/10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2020.25.3.2000045Crossref Scopus (4746) Google Scholar), prevention and healthcare knowledge. Over 20 African nations are now able to test for COVID-19. Several African countries have identified isolation and quarantine centers and Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Uganda and Botswana have rapidly dealt with suspected cases carrying out laboratory tests, and in some cases, placing them in quarantine while laboratory tests were performed. Nigeria was one of the first countries to recognize the risk and start planning the response for COVID-19. In a massive effort of national coordination, a multi-sectoral National Coronavirus Preparedness Group was established by Nigeria CDC on January 7, 2020, one week after China first reported the cases and three weeks before WHO declared the disease to be of international concern. The country has also established diagnostic capacity for COVID-19 in three laboratories within the country in one month. Nigeria CDC has established a national team that meets daily to assess the risk coronavirus poses to the nation and review its response to it. Uganda quarantined more than 100 people who arrived at Entebbe International Airport, some at hospitals in Entebbe and Kampala, and others were confined in their homes. Zambia has dedicated two medical facilities in the capital, Lusaka, to quarantine people suspected of having the disease. They include designating a new 800-bed capacity hospital in Lusaka, funded and built by China development aid to Zambia. Thermal body scanners have also been set up at all ports of entry to detect travelers showing symptoms of the virus. Kenya has introduced mandatory screening at all ports of entry, and established isolation facilities and a rapid response team to handle suspected cases. South Africa has set up national and provincial response teams, designated 300 health officials to ports of entry and begun screening all travelers from China. The Africa CDC has trained numerous participants from across Africa, including Egypt, on enhancing detection of COVID-19 at points-of-entry in collaboration with US-CDC, WHO, and the International Civil Aviation Authority (WHO, 2020eWHO Management of ill travellers at Points of Entry–international airports, seaports and ground crossings – in the context of COVID -19 outbreak.2020https://www.who.int/publications-detail/management-of-ill-travellers-at-points-of-entry-international-airports-seaports-and-ground-crossings-in-the-context-of-covid--19-outbreakGoogle Scholar). Two airlines, Kenya Airways and South African Airlines, were also represented in the training. Additional training and resources have been provided to Egypt and other at-risk countries for infection prevention and control in healthcare facilities, medical management of COVID-19, and risk communication and community engagement. The Africa Union, West African Health Organization (WAHO) and external donors have been quick to provide support to the Africa CDC. In response to emergency grant calls for COVID-19, there have been several consortia fielding grant applications for research and capacity development. The long anticipated and inevitable and detection of the introduction of SARS-CoV-2 into Africa was announced on 14 February 2020, by the Minister of Health and Population of Egypt, Dr Hala Zayed, who confirmed the first case of the novel coronavirus disease COVID-19 in Egypt. The patient was a 33 year old male of foreign origin whose 17 contacts tested negative but were under home quarantine for 14 days. This has ignited a reflection on the readiness of the continent to take on the challenge and showcase its new potential. Following detection of this first case in Africa, the Africa CDC, Nigeria CDC and other national public health institutes in liaison with the WHO are scaling up preparedness efforts in the African region, supporting countries to implement recommendations outlined by the WHO International Health Regulations Emergency Committee. The Emergency Committee recommended that all countries should be prepared for containment, including active surveillance, early detection, isolation and case management, contact tracing and prevention of onward spread of SARS-CoV-2. Thirteen nations with close links with China, including Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, have been identified as especially high-risk priority zones for proactive surveillance, detection and containing the spread of COVID-19. The WHO has sent diagnostic kits to 29 laboratories in Africa, and reagents and positive controls are being shipped worldwide by PANDORA-ID-NET partner in Germany, Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin Institute of Virology, to ensure the capacity to screen and test. Some countries in Africa, including DRC, are also leveraging the capacity they have built up to test for Ebola, to test for COVID-19. Thus, early detection of cases with implementation of infection control procedures will remain a priority to control the spread of COVID-19 in Africa. On 22nd February, 2020 an Emergency Ministerial meeting on COVID-19 was organized by the African Union and the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention following which the WHO DG announced several additional measures and plans for supporting the Africa response to COVID-19 (WHO, 2020gWHO Emergency ministerial meeting on COVID-19 organized by the African union and the Africa centres for disease control and prevention.2020https://www.who.int/dg/speeches/detail/emergency-ministerial-meeting-on-covid-19-organized-by-the-african-union-and-the-africa-centres-for-disease-control-and-preventionGoogle Scholar). He appointed Dr John Nkengasong, Director of the Africa CDC, and Professor Samba Sow, Director-General of the Center for Vaccine Development in Mali, as special envoys on COVID-19, to provide strategic advice and high-level political advocacy and engagement in Africa. A WHO Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan has been developed, with a call for US$675 million to support those African countries which are most vulnerable. WHO have also shipped over 30,000 sets of personal protective equipment to several countries in Africa, and 60,000 more sets are to be shipped to the 19 vulnerable countries in the coming weeks. During the past month about 11,000 African health workers have been trained using WHO’s online courses on COVID-19, which are available free of charge in English, French and other languages at OpenWHO.org. As of 5th March, 2020, worldwide there were 93,090 laboratory confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported to the WHO. Of these 80,422 cases (with 2,984 deaths) were from China, and 12,668 cases (with 214 deaths) were from 76 countries outside China. From Africa there have been 5 cases from Algeria, 1 from Nigeria, 1 from Senegal and 2 from Egypt (WHO, 2020fWHO Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).2020https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200304-sitrep-44-covid-19.pdf?sfvrsn=783b4c9d_6Google Scholar). Given the extent of the outbreak in China, and with a high degree of awareness of COVID-19 in Africa, and proactive screening on the rise, more COVID-19 cases are anticipated in Africa. Several lessons have been learnt from the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic, which is the third lethal human zoonotic coronavirus with epidemic potential to emerge past 2 decades, the first being SARS-CoV identified in 2002 and second MERS-CoV in 2012 (Hui et al., 2014Hui D.S. Memish Z.A. Zumla A. Severe acute respiratory syndrome vs. the Middle East respiratory syndrome.Curr Opin Pulm Med. 2014; 20: 233-241Crossref PubMed Scopus (165) Google Scholar, McCloskey et al., 2014McCloskey B. Dar O.

Whilst the news and social media hype has evoked public and political anxieties, it is important to note that COVID-19 appears to have less than 3% mortality rates and is not more serious than outbreaks of viral respiratory tract infections such as influenza (Ippolito et al., 2020Ippolito G. Hui D.S. Ntoumi F. MAeurer M. Zumla A. Toning down the 2019-nCoV hype – and restoring hope.Lancet Resp Med. 2020; 8: 230-231https://doi.org/10.1016/S2213-2600(20)30070-9Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (50) Google Scholar). It is crucial that other communicable diseases which impact a higher toll and burden on health services in Africa are not neglected or sidelined by the current hype and scaremongering of the COVID-19 epidemic. An important need remains for ensuring long-term sustainability of what is being built. Africa needs to continue its upward trajectory of activities so as to align public health resources, scientific expertise and experience, and political commitment so that any future infectious disease outbreaks can be stopped before they become an epidemic in Africa. Africa needs more investments into ONE-HEALTH collaborative activities across the continent in order to meet the challenges of current and future public health threats (Kock et al., 2020Kock R.A. Karesh W.B. Veas F. et al.2019-nCoV in context: lessons learned?.Lancet Planet Health. 2020; S2542–5196 ([published online ahead of print, 2020 February 6]): 30035-30038https://doi.org/10.1016/S2542-5196(20)30035-8Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (51) Google Scholar, Petersen et al., 2019Petersen E.

A whole new young generation of enthusiastic, committed and dedicated African public health workers, epidemiologists, researchers, healthcare workers and laboratory personnel have emerged over the past 5 years, and they need to be supported by security of funding to build their careers and sustain their capabilities to take forward their research and training portfolios. The future of Africa’s public health security relies on them. Increased governmental and donor investments are required to advance locally led, world-class public health work with surveillance, data and analytics capabilities and further expanding state-of-the-art laboratory capacities with more trained personnel to sustain capacity to rapidly respond to outbreaks at their source. A well-planned long-term strategy from the Africa Union will add major value for consolidating African leadership of public health capacity building, training and research.

This study assessed the prevalence of overweight and obesity among public-school children aged 4 to 13 years in Tebessa, eastern Algeria over 10/12 years. Weight and height measurements of 21,618 schoolchildren were obtained from their health cards for 1995 to 2007 (49.4% girls and 50.6% boys). The prevalence of overweight and obesity in 2005/2007 was 8.49%, down from 17.39% in 1995/1998. Overweight decreased from 12.55% to 6.38% (P = 0.0001) and obesity from 4.48% to 1.80% (P = 0.0001) over the same time period. Children aged 10 to 13 years were the only ones who showed changes during this period. More girls were obese than boys (3.20% versus 2.82%, P = 0.033), while more boys were overweight (8.73% versus 7.94%, P = 0.034). While the rates of overweight and obesity have decreased over 10/12 years, the rates still suggest the need for epidemiological surveillance and the development of a health-oriented strategy for prevention of childhood obesity.معدّل انتشار السِّمنة وازدياد الوزن بين أطفال المدارس في تبسة (شرق الجزائر) في الفترة من 1995 إلى 2007.سليمة طالب، حياة اولعمارة، عبد الناصر عقليتقيِّم هذه الدراسة معدل انتشار ازدياد الوزن والسِّمنة بين أطفال المدارس في القطاع العام ممن تتراوح أعمارهم بين 4 سنوات و 13 سنة في تبسة، شرقي الجزائر، على مدى 12 عاماً. وقد حصل الباحثون على أوزان وأطوال الطلاب من البطاقات الصحية، وبلغ عدد أولئك الطلاب 21618 طالباً في الفترة من 1995 حتى 2007، منهم 49.4% من الفتيات و 50.6% من الفتيان. واتضح للباحثين أن معدل انتشار ازدياد الوزن والسِّمنة خلال الفترة بين 2005و2007 أصبح 8.49% بعد ما كان 17.39 في الفترة 1995-1998 . وقد نقص معدل انتشار ازدياد الوزن من 12.55% ليصل إلى 6.38% (P = 0.0001). ونقص معدل انتشار السِّمنة من 4.48% ليصل إلى 1.80% (P = 0.0001) في الفترة ذاتها. وقد اتضح أن الأطفال في أعمار تتراوح بين 10و13 سنة؛ هم وحدهم الذين ظهرت عليهم التغيرات خلال هذه الفترة. وقد كان عدد الفتيات السمينات (3.2%) أكثر من عدد الفتيان السِّمان (2.82%) (P = 0.03)، إلا أن عدد الفتيان الزائدي الوزن (8.73%) كان أكبر من الفتيات الزائدات الوزن (7.94%) (P = 0.034) . ورغم نقص معدلات ازدياد الوزن والسِّمنة خلال 10-12 عاماً، فإن هذه المعدلات تشير إلى الحاجة إلى إجراء ترصُّد وبائي وإعداد استراتيجية ذات توجه صحي للوقاية من السِّمنة لدى الأطفال.Prévalence du surpoids et de l'obésité chez des enfants scolarisés à Tébessa (Est algérien) entre 1995 et 2007.La présente étude a pour but de déterminé la prévalence du surpoids et de l'obésité chez les enfants âgés de 4 à 13 ans et scolarisés dans les établissements publics de Tébessa (Est algérien) sur une période de 10-12 ans. Les mesures du poids et de la taille de 21 618 enfants (49,4 % de filles et 50,6 % de garçons) ont été obtenues à partir de leurs carnets de santé de 1995 à 2007. La prévalence du surpoids et de l'obésité est passée de 17,39 % en 1995-1998 à 8,49 % en 2005-2007. Le surpoids passe de 12,55 % à 6,38 % (p = 0,0001) et l'obésité de 4,48 % à 1,80 % (p = 0,0001) sur la même période. Les enfants âgés de 10 à 13 ans sont les seuls qui présentent une évolution durant cette période. Les filles sont plus touchées par l'obésité que les garçons (3,2 % contre 2,82 % ; p = 0,033). Les garçons sont plus en surpoids (8,73 % contre 7,94 % ; p = 0,034). Si les taux de surpoids et de l'obésité ont diminué sur les 10-12 années, il demeure nécessaire de procéder à une surveillance épidémiologique et de mettre au point une stratégie de promotion de la santé orientée vers la prévention de l'obésité infantile.

Background While multiple studies have documented the impacts of mobile phone use on TB health outcomes for varied settings, it is not immediately clear what the spatial patterns of TB treatment completion rates among African countries are. This paper used Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) techniques to explore the clustering spatial patterns of TB treatment completion rates in 53 African countries and also their relationships with mobile phone use. Using an ESDA approach to identify countries with low TB treatment completion rates and reduced mobile phone use is the first step toward addressing issues related to poor TB outcomes. Methods TB notifications and treatment data from 2000 through 2015 that were obtained from the World Bank database were used to illustrate a descriptive epidemiology of TB treatment completion rates among African health systems. Spatial clustering patterns of TB treatment completion rates were assessed using differential local Moran's I techniques, and local spatial analytics was performed using local Moran's I tests. Relationships between TB treatment completion rates and mobile phone use were evaluated using ESDA approach. Result Spatial autocorrelation patterns generated were consistent with Low-Low and High-Low cluster patterns, and they were significant at different p -values. Algeria and Senegal had significant clusters across the study periods, while Democratic Republic of Congo, Niger, South Africa, and Cameroon had significant clusters in at least two time-periods. ESDA identified statistically significant associations between TB treatment completion rates and mobile phone use. Countries with higher rates of mobile phone use showed higher TB treatment completion rates overall, indicating enhanced program uptake (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusion Study findings provide systematic evidence to inform policy regarding investments in the use of mHealth to optimize TB health outcomes. African governments should identify turnaround strategies to strengthen mHealth technologies and improve outcomes.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious and pathogenic viral disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Since it was first reported in Wuhan, China, it has spread across the continents. The study is aimed at describing epidemiological indices of COVID-19 as reported by the World Health Organization and to examine correlations with some country specific measures of general health status.Data from the WHO African region were extracted from World Health Organization, Global Health Security Index, Worldometer and World Bank databases, as at September 8, 2020. Other epidemiological indices were computed for the various countries. Epidemiological indices of COVID-19 were correlated with some selected health related metrics: Global Health Security index (GHSI) and current health expenditure (CHE). Pearson correlation was used to access the relationship between the health-related metrics and epidemiological indices.Forty-seven (47) countries belonging to the WHO African region were evaluated. A total of 1,086,499 confirmed cases and 23,213 deaths were recorded giving a fatality rate of 2.1%. South Africa recorded the highest cumulative confirmed cases as well as deaths (Cases: 639,362; Deaths: 15,004) while Seychelles (Cases:135) and Eritrea/Seychelles (Deaths:0) had the least cumulative cases and deaths (135;0 and 330;0), respectively. South Africa recorded the highest attack rate (1127.67/100,000) while Republic of Tanzania recorded the least attack rate (0.78/100,000). The highest case fatality rate/ratio was observed in Chad (7.60%) while the least value was observed in Seychelles (0.0%). France was the most common country involved in travel history of index cases. Sporadic transmission was recorded in 3 countries, 9 countries had cluster of cases while the rest had community transmission. The first WHO African region country to record COVID-19 case was Algeria, while Comoros was the last. Significant positive correlation was found between COVID-19 case number/deaths and Global Health Security Index.The WHO African region has had its own share of the pandemic with all the countries being affected. The trio of cluster cases, sporadic and community transmission were recorded with majority being community transmission.

In 1990, the World Health Assembly took a pioneering step in urging WHO’s 191 Member States to take action to eliminate iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). Iodine deficiency is a major threat to health and development the world over, particularly among preschool children and pregnant women in low-income countries. It is a significant public health problem in 130 countries and affects 740 million people. An estimated one-third of the world’s population is currently exposed to the risk of IDD. These disorders are caused by insufficient iodine intake and, in some areas, goitrogenous factors in the diet. Their negative impact on the health of individuals and societies, and thus on national economic development as well, is tremendous. The spectrum of health problems caused by iodine deficiency includes goitre, stillbirth and hypothyroidism. However, its most severe consequence is mental retardation due to brain damage occurring during fetal development as a result of maternal hypothyroidism. Indeed, iodine deficiency is the world’s greatest single cause of preventable brain damage in childhood. While cretinism is the most extreme outcome, of much greater significance are the subtler degrees of mental impairment that lead to poor school performance, reduced intellectual ability and impaired work capacity. Iodine-deficient communities have been found to score 10–15 points lower on IQ tests than iodine-replete ones. These disorders can be prevented by ensuring adequate iodine intake, which is the primary objective of the current worldwide drive to eliminate IDD. Compared to other major forms of malnutrition, IDD has attracted much attention in view of the substantial progress recently made towards its elimination. In the early 1980s, only a few countries were known to be affected by IDD, and only a very few had national IDD control programmes, often based on supplementation with iodized oil. Today most of the countries in which IDD is a public health problem have national control programmes. Whereas in 1990 only 46 countries had salt iodization programmes, by 1998 their number had increased to 93, more than 80% of which had adopted legislation governing iodized salt. More than two-thirds of households living in IDDaffected countries now have access to iodized salt, and 20 countries have reached the goal of universal salt iodization, which is defined as more than 90% of households with access to iodized salt. The more recent salt iodization programmes have not been in place long enough for a full evaluation of their impact on iodine status. Nevertheless, it is clear that where such a programme has been in place formore than 5 years, improvement has been dramatic. This has been demonstrated over the last three years in Algeria, Bhutan, Cameroon, China, Colombia, Indonesia, Islamic Republic of Iran, Panama, Peru, Thailand, Venezuela and Zimbabwe. Particularly noteworthy among the factors that have led to these successes is the collaboration between the various actors involved. As the discussion on pages 413– 417 of this issue of the Bulletin explains, it did not all start at once but developed over time. In the early 1960s, WHO alerted the international community to the public health importance of iodine deficiency. This helped to stimulate research on the epidemiology of IDD and the testing of approaches to control. The extent and severity of IDD gradually became clear. As a result, with the support of WHO and UNICEF, the International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (ICCIDD) was establishedwith the participation of scientific experts from around the world who are committed to controlling IDD. The ICCIDD was inaugurated in 1985 in Kathmandu, Nepal, and from then onwards the global momentum steadily increased. WHO and UNICEF, with the technical support of ICCIDD, worked closely with the governments of affected countries to assist in formulating, establishing, implementing and evaluating IDD control programmes, and to train national experts. In the 1990s, promotion of universal salt iodization as the strategy of choice for controlling IDD led to an expansion of the circle of partners involved in IDD control. They were joined by government bilateral development cooperation agencies, universities and research centres, nongovernmental organizations, philanthropic foundations, and the salt industry. This expansion was largely due to the broad consensus achieved within the international public health community on the salt iodization strategy. It was adopted in international forums including the World Health Assembly, the World Summit for Children and the International Conference on Nutrition. The importance of strengthening collaboration between partners was thus recognized as critical for the success and sustained control of iodine deficiency. Remarkable and measurable progress is being made, but nearly 30 IDD-affected countries still have no national control programmes, or only embryonic ones. In 2001 alone, some 50 million children were born without any preventive measures having been taken against IDD during pregnancy. The twofold challenge in the coming years is to introduce salt iodization in the remaining 30 affected countries and to ensure the long-term sustainability of IDD control programmes. The growing evidence that iodine deficiency may be reappearing in countries where it was thought to have been eliminated underscores the need for vigilance in sustaining current programmes. There are many constraints, and iodized salt is not reaching all target communities, in particular themost disadvantaged. In some areas, there is a plethora of small-scale salt producers for whom iodization presents technical or practical difficulties. Although monitoring is essential for ensuring the longterm success of salt iodization programmes, monitoring systems for salt quality and urinary iodine are often inadequate, and the result is unacceptable variations in the quality of iodized salt. To overcome these constraints and make the programme more sustainable, recent major international initiatives have included reinforcing the partnership between the main actors involved in IDD control. This concerns in particular the implementation of salt iodization programmes and surveillance, which are essential aspects of the help countries need tomeet the goal of IDD elimination. Adequate iodine intake for all is both necessary and achievable. But it has not yet been achieved, and it cannot be taken for granted. n

There is ample precedent for public health officials directing the control of emerging pandemics. Perhaps most notably, in the early 1960s, Alexander D. Langmuir, MD, Director of the Epidemic Intelligence Service and Epidemiology Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) began to work closely with Donald A. Henderson, MD, Chief of the Virus Disease Surveillance Program at the CDC. Langmuir first introduced the idea of surveilling communicable diseases of national importance,1Langmuir AD The surveillance of communicable diseases of national importance.N Engl J Med. 1963; 268: 182-192Crossref PubMed Scopus (320) Google Scholar and Henderson applied rigorous and evidenced-based public health principles and methodologies to the eradication of smallpox.2Langmuir AD Henderson DA Serfling RE The epidemiological basis for the control of influenza.Am J Pub Health. 1954; 54: 563-571Crossref Scopus (58) Google Scholar,3Henderson DA Smallpox, the Death of a Disease. Prometheus Books, Amherst, NY2009Google Scholar,4Henderson DA The development of surveillance systems.Am J Epidemiol. 2016; 183: 381-386Crossref PubMed Scopus (13) Google Scholar The surveillance of communicable diseases of national importance was first described by Langmuir as the critical watchfulness over the distribution and trends of incidence through the systematic collection, consolidation, and regular dissemination of data to all who need to know.1Langmuir AD The surveillance of communicable diseases of national importance.N Engl J Med. 1963; 268: 182-192Crossref PubMed Scopus (320) Google Scholar Since that time, as noted by Henderson, surveillance systems have increased in number and sophistication with advances in data collection, analysis, and communication.2Langmuir AD Henderson DA Serfling RE The epidemiological basis for the control of influenza.Am J Pub Health. 1954; 54: 563-571Crossref Scopus (58) Google Scholar From influenza3Henderson DA Smallpox, the Death of a Disease. Prometheus Books, Amherst, NY2009Google Scholar to smallpox,4Henderson DA The development of surveillance systems.Am J Epidemiol. 2016; 183: 381-386Crossref PubMed Scopus (13) Google Scholar the establishment of systematic reporting systems and prompt action based on results were critical factors. Over the course of just slightly more than a decade, during the tenures of Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford, utilizing evidence-based leadership, these physicians led both US and worldwide efforts that resulted in smallpox becoming the first human disease ever eradicated from the face of the earth. Presently in the United States, healthcare providers are understandably confused about the current and future issues concerning coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This infectious disease is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that is now responsible for an emerging pandemic. The first cases were reported in Wuhan, China on December 31, 2019.5Hennekens CH Buring JE Epidemiology in Medicine. Little, Brown and Company, Boston, MA1987Google Scholar The first case in the United States was reported on January 22, 2020.6World Health Organization. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): situation report–53. Available athttps://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200313-sitrep-53-covid-19.pdf?sfvrsn=adb3f72_2. Accessed March 13, 2020.Google Scholar During that interval containment was potentially achievable in the United States, which would have included collaborative efforts, such as the widespread utilization of the rapid testing kits available from the World Health Organization. At present, however, strategies must be employed to flatten the curve to decrease avoidable morbidity and mortality, which include, but are not limited to, widespread testing with rapid turnaround and social distancing.1Langmuir AD The surveillance of communicable diseases of national importance.N Engl J Med. 1963; 268: 182-192Crossref PubMed Scopus (320) Google Scholar, 2Langmuir AD Henderson DA Serfling RE The epidemiological basis for the control of influenza.Am J Pub Health. 1954; 54: 563-571Crossref Scopus (58) Google Scholar, 3Henderson DA Smallpox, the Death of a Disease. Prometheus Books, Amherst, NY2009Google Scholar, 4Henderson DA The development of surveillance systems.Am J Epidemiol. 2016; 183: 381-386Crossref PubMed Scopus (13) Google Scholar, 5Hennekens CH Buring JE Epidemiology in Medicine. Little, Brown and Company, Boston, MA1987Google Scholar In addition, some reports provide reassurance and others an ominous foreboding. The current incomplete totality of evidence provides cause for serious concerns and, more importantly, an urgent need for public health leadership, but neither reassurance nor alarm. On the one hand, it is reassuring that perhaps over 80% of symptomatic individuals will experience only mild flu-like symptoms. On the other hand, it is alarming that, as it appears, based on currently available data, perhaps 15% of affected patients will become seriously ill, and 5% will need critical care. As of Friday, March 13, at 1:00 PM ET, there were 125,048 confirmed cases and 4613 deaths (3.7%) worldwide.6World Health Organization. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): situation report–53. Available athttps://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200313-sitrep-53-covid-19.pdf?sfvrsn=adb3f72_2. Accessed March 13, 2020.Google Scholar As mentioned above, the first cases were reported in Wuhan, China, in late January 2020. Today, there are reported cases on every continent except Antarctica. In the United States, the numbers of confirmed cases and deaths have risen over the week from 307 cases and 17 deaths (5.5%) to 1629 cases and 41 deaths in 46 states and the District of Columbia, with an initial cluster in a nursing home in the state of Washington and currently another in New Rochelle, New York.7Centers for Disease Control. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html. Accessed March 13, 2020.Google Scholar Healthcare providers should be aware that younger and healthy individuals will represent a larger proportion of the population who experience mild to moderate symptoms, and older individuals with preexisting conditions will be overrepresented among the deaths. They, along with their patients and the general public, should remain fully cognizant that the young and healthy are not free of risk of death, but there are large segments of the population at higher risk. These include adults aged ≥60 years; those with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and lung disease; and those receiving chemotherapy or who are otherwise immunocompromised through illness or therapies. These guestimates about the numbers of cases will become more reliable with more widespread and accurate testing. It is somewhat sobering to note that South Korea, which has a population about one-sixth that of the United States, has tested over 240,000 or about 1 per 250 people. In contrast, the United States has tested 13,624, which includes 3903 from the CDC and 9721 from public health laboratories.8Washington Post. South Korea is doing 10,000 coronavirus tests a day. The U.S. is struggling for even a small fraction of that. Available at: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/coronavirus-test-kits-south-korea-us/2020/03/13/007f14fc-64a1-11ea-8a8e-5c5336b32760_story.html. Accessed March 13, 2020.Google Scholar Healthcare providers should be reassured that in South Korea and the United States, among patients with symptoms, only about 3% tested positive for coronavirus. When the totality of evidence is incomplete, it is certainly appropriate for healthcare providers to remain uncertain in the choice of specific preventive and therapeutic measures for their individual patients. However, that is not the case for public health and regulatory authorities. These dedicated public servants have been trained to maximize benefits and minimize risks while attempting to prevent and treat apparently emerging pandemics. Thus, it seems altogether fitting and proper for public health officials to lead public health efforts and politicians to lead political efforts. Appropriate concerns—not fear—should play a major role in the emerging pandemic. Public health efforts should focus, primarily, although not exclusively, on public health issues. Economic considerations seem of greater importance than political considerations. In the United States and globally, there is already ample evidence of person-to-person transmission of what appears to be a highly infectious agent. In addition, collegial and collaborative multifactorial preventive and therapeutic measures in the United States and throughout the world are warranted to control the pandemic. Healthcare providers and the general public should be aware that any vaccine is likely to emerge only after 1 to 2 years. However, healthcare providers should also be aware that chloroquine phosphate has shown apparent efficacy and an acceptable safety profile against COVID-19.9Gao J Tian Z Yang X Breakthrough: chloroquine phosphate has shown apparent efficacy in treatment of COVID-19 associated pneumonia in clinical studies.Biosci Trends. 2020; 14: 72-73Crossref PubMed Google Scholar During the 2018-2019 flu season, about 42.9 million Americans were clinical cases, of which 647,000 were hospitalized and about 61,200 died. Based on the current incomplete totality of evidence, it appears that coronavirus is comparable in communicability to influenza but with perhaps a 10-fold higher case fatality rate. If so, the guestimates suggest that if the epidemic continues to propagate in the United States, there may be 612,000 deaths and perhaps millions of hospitalizations. This staggering number of hospitalizations could paralyze the US healthcare delivery system. Further, the overcrowding of hospitals by patients with coronavirus may make it more difficult to provide lifesaving treatments to those with other life-threatening conditions. In addition, the estimated number of deaths is comparable to that of the most lethal epidemic of influenza in US history, which occurred in 1918. During that year, about 675,000 Americans died.10Spreeuwenberg P, Kroneman M, Paget J. Reassessing the global mortality burden of the 1918 influenza pandemic. Am J Epidemiol. 187:2561-2567.Google Scholar We believe that Anthony S. Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is the Babe Ruth of virology in general and influenza in particular. His proven capacity and capability for collaborative, expert leadership can guide the United States and the world through this pandemic and ensure our preparedness for the challenges ahead. ‘A plague o’ both your houses’: Selected Quotations for Our TimesThe American Journal of MedicineVol. 133Issue 6Preview“A plague o’ both your houses” —William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Act 3, scene 1 “[W]hen into the distinguished city of Florence, more noble than any other Italian city, there came the deadly pestilence.

Background Cholera remains a public health threat, but is inequitably distributed, especially affecting areas without universal access to safe water and sanitation, including much of sub-Saharan Africa. Lack of standardized reporting and inconsistent outbreak definitions limit our understanding of cholera outbreak epidemiology. Methods We curated a database of cholera incidence and mortality from sub-Saharan Africa from 2010 to 2020 and developed methods to reconstruct epidemic curves. We then described the distribution of key outbreak metrics, including outbreak size and duration. Results We identified 999 suspected cholera outbreaks in 744 unique regions across 25 sub-Saharan Africa countries, and outbreak periods accounted for 1.8 billion person-months (2% of the total during this period) from January 2010 through January 2020. Among the 692 outbreaks reported from second-level administrative units (e.g., districts), the median attack rate was 0.8 per 1,000 people (IQR, 0.3-2.4 per 1,000), the median epidemic duration was 13 weeks (IQR, 8-19), and the median early outbreak reproductive number was 1.8 (range, 1.1-3.5). Rural outbreaks had more than twice the case fatality risk than urban ones (median of 1.8% versus 0.8%). Larger attack rates were associated with longer times to outbreak peak, longer epidemic durations, and lower case fatality risks. Conclusions Despite reporting gaps and the limitations of analyzing outbreaks by administrative units, this work provides a baseline from which to monitor progress towards cholera control and essential statistics to inform outbreak management and emergency response in sub-Saharan Africa. Research in context Evidence before this study We used PubMed to search for relevant studies published between 2010 and 2019, using the term “Cholera AND (Outbreak OR epidemic) AND (Africa OR Algeria OR Angola OR Benin OR Botswana OR Burkina Faso OR Burundi OR Cabo Verde OR Cameroon OR Central African Republic OR Chad OR Comoros OR Congo Democratic Republic of the OR Congo, Republic of the OR Cote d’Ivoire OR Djibouti OR Egypt OR Equatorial Guinea OR Eritrea OR Eswatini OR Ethiopia OR Gabon OR Gambia OR Ghana OR Guinea OR Guinea-Bissau OR Kenya OR Lesotho OR Liberia OR Libya OR Madagascar OR Malawi OR Mali OR Mauritania OR Mauritius OR Morocco OR Mozambique OR Namibia OR Niger OR Nigeria OR Rwanda OR Sao Tome and Principe OR Senegal OR Seychelles OR Sierra Leone OR Somalia OR South Africa OR South Sudan OR Sudan OR Tanzania OR Togo OR Tunisia OR Uganda OR Zambia OR Zimbabwe)”. Of 544 results, 137 were either not about cholera outbreaks or were about cholera outbreaks in a particular country or context and 407 were not about cholera outbreaks. The remaining three were a review of cholera outbreaks in Africa by Martin et al, who focused on general epidemiology and biology of cholera outbreaks before 2011; a review of epidemiology of cholera by Jacqueline et al, who explored the duration, case fatality rate, genomics, risk factors and surveillance of outbreaks across Africa before 2017; and a study of recurrent outbreaks in Africa by Abraham et al, who examined the historical trends, risk factors, burden, severity and control strategies of outbreaks by geographic regions based on available reports from January, 1970 through August, 2017. In addition, a summary table developed by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) for cholera outbreak management and response in the field provided major outbreak characteristics (e.g., attack rate, duration, time to outbreak peak) in rural settings, urban settings and slums, and closed situations (e.g., refugee camps) based on a review of cholera epidemics between 1990 and 1997. Added value of this study Previous reviews based on available outbreak reports reflect restricted summaries of outbreak characteristics. To present a comprehensive and up-to-date summary for outbreaks in sub-Saharan Africa, we examined key outbreak features by applying a systematic outbreak definition to time series from a large cholera incidence database. To our knowledge, this is the largest centralized source of global cholera incidence and mortality data. We identified 999 suspected cholera outbreaks in 744 sub-national regions across 25 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, where 2% or 1.8 billion person-months of the total population were living in regions with ongoing outbreaks in the period from 2010 through 2019. In addition, our results suggest that population density may not be universally associated with more severe outbreak outcomes. Compared to historical summaries from MSF, our estimates of attack rates and CFRs are much lower in both rural and urban settings, while the estimate of proportion of cases reported during the peak week is slightly higher, leading to only one-third to one-fourth of the previous estimation of peak bed capacity. Implications of all the available evidence Cholera remains a public health threat in sub-Saharan Africa. This summary of the characteristics and transmission dynamics of outbreaks occurring in sub-Saharan Africa in the period from 2010 through 2019 increases our understanding of cholera outbreak epidemiology and serves as a practical source for future outbreak management and response. As several sub-Saharan African countries have started to developed country plans to reduce cholera incidence in the coming years, our study emphasizes the importance of improving cholera monitoring and surveillance (e.g., laboratory confirmation and finer geographic scale of reporting) in order to identify finer-scale outbreaks, estimate the true burden of cholera and target interventions with limited resources.

Leprosy is not a problem for public health in Algeria. For one century (from 1888 to 1987), a maximum of 250 cases were reported, only 75 of them were Algerians and 61 caught the disease in Algeria. Hence leprosy was mainly an imported disease. Will multiple exchanges with other countries increase the magnitude of the problem?

The latest figures published by the Algerian authorities report 187 people with AIDS and 451 people infected with HIV in the country. Medical specialists, however, argue the presence of 1499 AIDS cases and 26,057 people known to be HIV-seropositive. Although accurate and comprehensive data on the extent of HIV infection and the prevalence of full-blown AIDS is hard to come by, it is clear that HIV has taken a firm hold among the population of Algeria and continues to spread. Extremely conservative sexual taboos in Algeria make it impossible to discuss AIDS whether among friends or in public. These taboos combined with the lack of information and political will among top government functionaries have made it very difficult to mount an effective campaign against the epidemic. Tens of thousands of young Algerians travel abroad annually and do not take preventive measures against HIV when having sexual intercourse. Moreover, the use of improperly sterilized medical instruments, contaminated blood in transfusions, and clandestine prostitution also contribute to the dissemination of HIV in Algeria. Doctors on some television programs report on AIDS, but they do not talk freely and frankly. Instead, they speak in generalities or describe the epidemic in technical scientific language. This failure to communicate does much to explain the lack of success of the public education campaigns launched by government and other national organizations in recent years.

Introduction
The social impact of ARTs in Algeria does not appear to be taken seriously into
account by either social science specialists or public health authorities. ART,
however, has led to the development of certain kinds of social exclusion. It causes
considerable difficulties (family, financial, etc.) for many men and women
suffering from infertility. ART confronts everyone with the question of their
origins, and it also questions the very foundations of Algerian society. In a context
of globalisation, the technique is expanding and becoming established as a
solution for sterile couples. While the procedure is currently becoming more
widespread in the Algerian medical field, it appears to have had little impact on
the Algerian family code.

To draw up an inventory of health care systems in the North African region (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia), highlighting the opportunities and the challenges of these countries, and to provide an overall view of the progresses made and the shortcomings that persist. A descriptive comparative approach of health care systems in the three countries, based on data from Sherbrooke University (Canada), the World Health Organization and the IPEMEDreport issued in 2012. The number of physicians per 1000 inhabitants: 1.43 in Tunisia, 1.24 and 0.67 in Algeria and Morocco, respectively. Population is aging and life expectancy exceeds 70 years at birth for men and women. Child mortality per 1000 live births is 16 in Tunisia, 30 and 33 in Morocco and Algeria, respectively. Health care yearly expenditure per capita is $ 275 in Tunisia, 245 in Algeria and 195 in Morocco. Public expenditure on health care as % of GDP (estimate) 3.64% in Algeria, 6,3% in Tunisia and 6,2 % in Morocco. Access to health care is a common problem for all three countries, even if in Tunisia, the offer is the most comprehensive. Rate of hospital beds per 1000 inhabitants is 2.1 in Tunisia, 1.7 and 1.1 in Algeria and Morocco, respectively. Despite substantial progress, maternal mortality rate remains high in Algeria and Morocco: 120 and 110 per 100 000 births, respectively (60/100 000 in Tunisia). Cardiovascular disorders are the most common cause of death followed by cancers and metabolic diseases. The transition that the North African countries are undergoing is a real challenge for health care authorities. The diseases that prevailed in the 60s and 70s have not completely disappeared, tuberculosis is still endemic and some transmissible diseases may reoccur while some others, such as cancers, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders are dramatically increasing, requiring the implementation of effective health care programs.

 The article examines the issue of public health and medical services in Algeria and analyses the role of the public and private sectors in supporting and promoting public health. Our study is based on an analysis of legal texts that highlight Algeria’s health policies. Some significant aspects of the article are: the Algerian policy of opening health services up to private investment; the lack of contribution of private health institutions in the field of medical education; and issues surrounding the organisation of blood donation. The article also notes the absence of foreign investment in Algerian hospitals.

Access to health innovation is a real headache for decision-makers. The therapeutic progress brought by these innovations is very often linked to a heavy cost, which has led payers to become more and more demanding regarding the cost-effectiveness of the products acquired. Our objective were to propose a working model that will enable Algeria to implement market access agreements (MAA) as a solution to improve access for innovation, considering the particularities of the Algerian health system and the local pharmaceutical market. a descriptive analysis of the algerian health system was undertaken including an overview of the pharmaceuticals market and its progress during the last years, then a systematic review of models from authorities using MAA (USA, OK, France and Italy) was conducted. From there, a discussion with key stakeholders in Algeria regarding pharmaceuticals was carried out using a questionnaire (manufacturers, physicians, payers, health authorities, hospital staff) to identify regulatory and operational obstacles that delay the process of implementing these contracts. A low access to innovation in Algeria was observed during the last years (2017-2019) because of a lack of funding. The information collected from the main stakeholder in Algeria showed a growing interest for this type of agreements, principle barriers mentioned were : lack of regulatory framework, weak knowledge base, and monitoring issues. Overall, interviwees recommended the implementation of a robust data collection system, and insisted on the training of involved personnel. Interviwees suggested the use of financial agreements and agreements based on performance depending on the outcomes of products. A working model was proposed defining the stakeholders involved, the process, the follow-up. The adoption of the proposed scheme, with the endorsement of good implementation practices, may provide a solution to improve access to innovation.

Background and aims: In 1988, the World Health Organization (WHO) adopted a resolution calling for eradication of poliomyelitis. In Algeria, the Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) surveillance is a Key strategy for polio eradication. Aims: The objective of the national program for poliomyelitis eradication is to keep Algeria as a zone free of Polio and to obtain the WHO certificate. In the present work, we describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of AFP: age, gender, autonomic disorders, albuminocytologic dissociation of CSF, artificial ventilation, and mortality. Methods: Prospective analysis of all cases of AFP from September 1994 to June 2013. Since 1997, we began systematically sending: Written statements of AFP on special forms to the Algerian Health Ministry and stools culture for the Polio virus to Algerian’s Pasteur Institute. AFP was diagnosed clinically through historical and clinical examination. The underlying cause of AFP was investigated by appropriate laboratory tests, such as serum electrolytes, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, nervous conduction study and stools culture for Polio virus. Results: We report 198 cases of AFP. No case of poliomyelitis has been diagnosed. Mechanical ventilation was necessary in more than 30% of cases. Since 2008, use of intravenous immunoglobulin (IV IG) seems to improve the mortality of AFP. 8% (n = 198) vs. 4% (n = 47). All deaths are related to the existence of severe neuro-vegetative disorders. The last case of poliomyelitis reported, in Algeria, was in ILLIZI (extreme south east) in 1996. Conclusions: Eradication of Poliomyelitis is a priority of public health in Algeria.
