AGENDA ITEM 4 and 5: Discussion on the Theme of the 4th Africa Arab Summit - November 2016 and Review the details of the Logo of the 4th Africa Arab Summit 3 13. In line with previous recommendations in this regard suggesting "Financing For Development" or "Migration" as possible themes for the 4th Summit, and after lengthy discussions, the meeting recommended the following : a. The selection of the Theme should allow the implementation of tangible projects as the case of the Third Africa Arab Summit in Kuwait, where the outcomes of the summit reflected the theme. b. The theme should reflect the priorities of the two African and Arab groups and avoid any sort of conflict of interests. c. The theme must not be vague, should be more specific and focused, and in line with the spirit of partnership previously adopted by the Summits. d. The theme should emanate from and be linked with the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030. e. In light of the above criteria, AUC and LAS should consult among themselves, about the most appropriate themes, and provide the next preparatoty committe, due to be held in Malabo in April, with a joint suggestion.

The meeting discussed the importance of Resolution no 7 of the Kuwait Summit, which called for the convening of the sessions of the Africa Arab Economic Forum regularly prior to Africa Arab Summit. The meeting agreed that convening such Forum is a matter that AUC, LAS and BADEA should discuss primarily with the Host Country since it is the one to decide about its readiness for hosting the Forum and providing the necessary facilities for its success. 4 17. The Director of the Africa Arab Institute Cultural informed the meeting about the different preparations that he has made, in line with the meetings of the interim executive council of the Institute in December 2015 and February 2016, for convening an Africa Arab Book Fair as well as a Musical Folkloric Festival at the sideline of the Summit.

However, vaccination might be considered for a small subset of travelers to these areas who are at increased risk for exposure to YF virus because of prolonged travel, heavy exposure to mosquitoes, or inability to avoid mosquito bites. Consideration for vaccination of any traveler must take into account the traveler’s risk of being infected with YF virus, country entry requirements, and individual risk factors for serious vaccine-associated adverse events (e.g., age, immune status).

IGNJATOVI] , Nataša D. ]UKOVI] IGNJATOVI] , b and Zoran D. ŽIVKOVI] a Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia b Ski Resorts of Serbia, Belgrade, Serbia Original scientific paper https://doi.org/10.2298/TSCI171227280I Developing countries are facing numerous challenges in the process of providing adequate health care to often deprived and diminished social groups. Being a country made up of a mainland territory and five islands in Gulf of Guinea, al- most entirely covered by tropical rainforest, with poor road infrastructure, Equa- torial Guinea is a showcase of various obstructions in developing effective health care system. The paper explores guidelines for creation of model regional hospi- tal, commissioned by Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, with the aim of achieving high level of replicability through minor program and site-specific ad- justments. The demonstrated strategies are applied on a local hospital designed to provide all basic types of health services while retaining a high level of tech- nical independence. The architectural concept was formulated aiming to maxim- ize the use of natural ventilation, daylight, and rainwater management, leaving the operation block, laboratory, and intensive care unit practically the only parts of the structure that would need mechanical air conditioning. The potential and effectiveness of use of photovoltaic units in enhancing hospital’s resilience through on-site energy production was explored.
