“…In the 2004 round of the Global AIDS Reporting System, for example, only 53% of countries (52 UN Member States) reported data. By the 2012 round, this figure had increased to 96% (186 UN Member States) (Alfvén et al 2017). Nevertheless, the collection of such data must be cross-validated to ensure it is robust, with existing and novel reporting methods made evident.…”

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 recognizes the strong connection between health and disasters and promotes the concept of health resilience throughout. Several of the seven global targets stated in the Sendai Framework are directly related to health in terms of reducing disaster mortality, the number of affected people, disaster damage to critical infrastructure, and disruption of basic services such as health facilities. The Sendai Framework also maintains close coordination with other United Nations landmark agreements relevant to health such as the Sustainable Development Goals. However, the measurement of healthrelated indicators is challenging. Issues arise, for example, in linking deaths to disasters because of the complex interplay between exposure, risk, vulnerability, and hazards. The lack of a universal classification of disasters also means that recording of health data in disasters is not standardized. Developing the guidelines to enable data on the indicators to be collected and reported to support the Sendai targets requires detailed thinking, time, and consultation with a diverse range of stakeholders. Strong collaboration and partnership will be vital to achieving success.

“…Civil society organizations may also submit shadow reports to UNAIDS if there is inadequate consultation by States in the completion of the NCPI . Moreover, the NCPI notes that shadow reports should be accepted “… if it is strongly felt that civil society was not adequately included in the national reporting process, if governments do not submit a report, or if the data provided by the government differ considerably from the data collected by civil society while monitoring government progress in delivering services.” Even though participation is voluntary, in 2015, 92% of United Nations Member States reported on their national AIDS responses using the NCPI …”

Identifying a human rights–based approach to obesity for States and civil society

Summary Obesity and its comorbidities pose daunting challenges to global health and development in the 21st century. This paper reviews some commonalities between obesity and another global health challenge, the pandemic of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). International human rights law was an important catalyst for civil society movements that helped to overcome inertia and generate political will for State action in response to HIV and AIDS. Drawing on the HIV experience, the authors propose a conceptual model for a human rights–based response to obesity founded on the twin pillars of State obligations and civil society engagement. Framing States' obligations to address the global obesity pandemic as a matter of international law, informed by the examples of the United Nations “International Guidelines on HIV/AIDS and Human Rights” and the General Comments of the United Nations human rights treaty bodies on HIV and AIDS, provides a normative framework to guide State actions and opportunities to engage the extensive accountability mechanisms of the United Nations international human rights system. In addition, it provides civil society organizations with the language and tools to demand State action on obesity. The authors call for similar authoritative guidance for States on the application of international human rights law to obesity.

Introduction. HIV prevalence is one of the most important issues of contemporary medicine. Over a 30-year history of this disease more than 75 million people have been infected with HIV, nearly 30 million adults and children of died. In the future decades, its significance in world premature mortality rates continues to rise. The objective of the study was to establish clinical and laboratory features of kidney lesions in HIV infection.Methods. The study involved 292 HIV-infected patients, who were managed outpatiently at the Chernivtsi Regional AIDS Center. Taking into account the main markers of kidney lesions: persistent proteinuria and glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , 48 persons were diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which was very frequently accompanied by dysfunction of these organs.Results. Increasing proteinuria rate is accompanied by a significant renal dysfunction and more frequently is combined with arterial hypertension as well as hematuria without significant differences in the incidence of opportunistic diseases. The mean reciprocal correlation between the levels of proteinuria and glomerular filtration rate (r=-0.562, p<0.01), as well as between the levels of proteinuria and hemoglobin (r=-0.596, p<0.01) have been established as well.Conclusions. Kidney lesions in HIV-infected are most often characterized by tubulointerstitial lesions. At the same time, glomerular kidney lesion, which is much less common, is accompanied by a significantly higher level of HIV RNA.key WoRdS: HIV-infection; chronic kidney disease; tubulo-interstitial lesion; glomerular lesion of kidneys.
