Humanitarian crises increase the risk of infectious diseases, while eroding the ability to detect and respond to them. This section covers the major infections that threaten populations in emergencies, such as cholera, malaria, and tuberculosis, along with key tools to prevent, monitor, and control new epidemics.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Since its beginning, the 21st century has witnessed a wave of major epidemics. Among the causes are demographic, technological, and climatic changes, but also the increase in the number, duration, and impact of humanitarian crises.<\/p>

Malaria remains a public health threat today for the poorest, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. The use of new tools and strategies for its elimination will only achieve its objectives if there is a global commitment to embrace them.<\/p>

In humanitarian emergencies, access to vaccines and the ability to use them effectively is reduced. This is in addition to the increased transmission of infectious diseases that also occurs in these contexts.<\/p>

Esta secci\u00f3n cubre las principales infecciones que amenazan a las poblaciones en emergencias, como el c\u00f3lera, la malaria o la tuberculosis, junto con las herramientas clave para prevenir, vigilar y controlar nuevas epidemias. 7 p\u00e1ginas El siglo XXI y el resurgir de las infecciones El siglo XXI ha sido testigo desde su inicio de una ola de grandes epidemias. Entre las causas hay cambios demogr\u00e1ficos, tecnol\u00f3gicos y clim\u00e1ticos, pero tambi\u00e9n el aumento del n\u00famero, duraci\u00f3n e impacto de las crisis humanitarias. \u2192 Leer m\u00e1s. Enfermedades diarreicas y c\u00f3lera Las enfermedades diarreicas son una de las mayores amenazas a la salud p\u00fablica en emergencias humanitarias y una de las principales causas de morbimortalidad en ni\u00f1os. Algunas tienen un importante potencial epid\u00e9mico, como el c\u00f3lera o la disenter\u00eda. \u2192 Leer m\u00e1s. Tuberculosis y neumon\u00eda: infecciones respiratorias Las infecciones respiratorias constituyen la principal causa de muerte evitable en contextos humanitarios y con escasos recursos. Entre ellas se encuentra la tuberculosis, una patolog\u00eda que afecta de manera desproporcionada a las personas m\u00e1s pobres. \u2192 Leer m\u00e1s. Malaria: avances y retos hacia su eliminaci\u00f3n La malaria sigue siendo hoy una amenaza de salud p\u00fablica para los y las m\u00e1s pobres, sobre todo en \u00c1frica subsahariana. El uso de nuevas herramientas y estrategias para su eliminaci\u00f3n solo alcanzar\u00e1 sus objetivos si existe un compromiso global para apostar por ellos. \u2192 Leer m\u00e1s. Vacunaci\u00f3n en emergencias humanitarias En las emergencias humanitarias se reduce el acceso a las vacunas y la capacidad de usarlas de manera efectiva. Esto se suma al aumento de la transmisi\u00f3n de enfermedades infecciosas que tambi\u00e9n se produce en estos contextos. \u2192 Leer m\u00e1s. Respuesta a epidemias en crisis humanitarias En contextos humanitarios, los sistemas de vigilancia epidemiol\u00f3gica pueden ser fr\u00e1giles o estar da\u00f1ados.
