International Nursing Organizations II01:28

International Nursing Organizations II

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...

Microorganisms in Medicine and Therapeutics

Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.

International Nursing Organizations I01:23

International Nursing Organizations I

International Nursing Organization (ICN) is a global union of national nurses' organizations. Individual nurses can be a part of ICN through member organizations. Each member organization strives to ensure quality nursing care, sound health policies, the advancement of nursing knowledge, respect for the profession, and a satisfied and competent nursing workforce.
ICN member organizations work to advance the field of nursing and healthcare via policies, partnerships, lobbying, professional...

Vaccines

Vaccines are among the most effective tools in preventive medicine, designed to prepare the immune system to recognize and combat infectious agents. By introducing antigens—substances that the immune system identifies as foreign—vaccines stimulate an adaptive immune response that leads to immunological memory. This immunological memory enables the body to mount a faster and more effective response upon future exposures to the actual pathogen.Vaccines can be categorized based on the type of...
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Affecting Factors01:29

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Affecting Factors

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is the clinical practice of measuring specific drug levels in a patient's blood or body tissues to manage and optimize therapy. TDM is crucial for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, like warfarin and phenytoin, where incorrect doses can lead to treatment failure or severe side effects. This monitoring ensures the dosage administered is within a safe and effective range. The factors affecting therapeutic drug monitoring include:Patient-Specific Factors:a.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Immunization Policy
  • Global Health Governance

Background:

  • Immunization policies are essential for global public health.
  • National Immunization Technical Advisory Groups (ITAGs) play a key role in policy development.
  • Understanding the structure and function of ITAGs is critical for improving immunization programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey the development processes of national immunization policies.
  • To assess the presence and function of national ITAGs globally.
  • To identify characteristics of effective ITAGs.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a global survey on immunization policy development.
  • Collected data on the establishment, function, and characteristics of national ITAGs.
  • Analyzed attributes associated with effective ITAG performance.

Main Results:

  • Over 89 countries reported the establishment of national ITAGs.
  • ITAGs have a long history, with some existing for over 40 years.
  • Key attributes for effective ITAGs were identified.

Conclusions:

  • National ITAGs are a valued resource for immunization policy development worldwide.
  • Further research is needed to address knowledge and research gaps concerning ITAGs.
  • The findings provide foundational information on ITAG functioning.
