    Ecology and Development Series No. 43, 2006

    Ecology and Development Series No. 43, 2006 Editor-in-Chief: Paul L.G.Vlek Editors: Manfred Denich Christopher Martius Charles Rodgers Susanne Herbst Water, sanitation, hygiene and diarrheal diseases in the Aral Sea area (Khorezm, Uzbekistan) Cuvillier Verlag Göttingen ABSTRACT The Aral Sea region is a synonym for environmental disaster which is considered to cause various human health problems. However, epidemiological evidence was still lacking. The vast majority of the rural population in Khorezm district, Uzbekistan, situated on the lower Amu Darya River in the Aral Sea Basin, relies on drinking water from groundwater wells. The piped drinking water in Khorezm is mainly abstracted from surface waters. Both drinking water sources are suspected to be frequently fecally contaminated. Since the consumption of fecally polluted drinking water implies a high incidence rate of waterborne disease, it is surprising that official epidemiological data – obtained by passive monitoring – show a considerable decline in incidences of waterborne infectious diseases. This study aimed to create active monitoring data on the incidence of diarrheal diseases and to study the risk factors water, sanitation and hygiene. For the epidemiological data collection, a self-reported monitoring of diarrheal diseases was conducted during a 12-week period in summer 2003 and a 4-week winter follow-up in February 2004. Each of the 186 randomly selected households entered all diarrhea episodes on a daily basis into a diarrhea diary, which was checked and exchanged by interviewers weekly. For the determination of risk factors linked to drinking water hygiene, sanitation and hygiene a standardized questionnaire was designed with a focus on the following points: drinking water issues (collection, storage, treatment), health- related behavior of households, knowledge on diarrhea (causes, prevention, treatment) and domestic hygiene.

    Iraq Healthcare and Humanitarian Reports

    Iraq Healthcare and Humanitarian Reports: Compiled by Ben Meyer, June 2007 IRIN: Iraq: Educational standards plummet (16 May 2007) http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/RWB.NSF/db900SID/EVOD- 739HE6?OpenDocument&rc=3&emid=ACOS-635P5D An IRIN report on the educational situation in Iraq. It quotes a staff member at Baghdad University who states, "Violence and lack of resources have undermined the education sector in Iraq. No student will graduate this year with sufficient competence to perform his or her job, and pupils will end the year with less than 60 percent of the knowledge that was supposed to have been imparted to them." Additionally, he states, "Medics, pharmacists, biologists and dentists are desperately seeking training in hospitals because what they have learnt so far does not give them enough confidence to treat patients.” IRIN: Iraq: Child mortality soars because of violence, poor health care (15 May 2007) http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/RWB.NSF/db900SID/TBRL- 738KPC?OpenDocument&rc=3&emid=ACOS-635P5D An IRIN report summarizing the findings of Save the Children report on the humanitarian situation in Iraq. The report states that, “50 Iraqi children died per 1,000 live births in 1990. Today, the rate is 125 per 1,000 births, more than double.” Additionally, “122,000 Iraqi children died in 2005 before reaching their fifth birthday. More than half of these deaths were among newborn babies in the first month of life.” The report states also that 30% of child deaths are caused by pneumonia and diarrhea, making them among the top killers of children in Iraq.

Each study explores the conceptual background, outcomes and lessons learned about the dev- elopment of more equitable, more efficient and more effective health systems in Europe. With this focus, the series seeks to contribute to the evolution of a more evidence-based approach to policy formulation in the health sector. These studies will be important to all those involved in formulating or evaluating national health care policies and, in particular, will be of use to health policy-makers and advisers, who are under increasing pressure to rationalize the structure and funding of their health systems.
