Limited access to health services for communities living further away from health facilities means village health workers such as Muyambo need to create connections between these vulnerable populations and health providers to help improve access and coverage of basic health services. (...) “When COVID- 19 started, many people were unable to go to health facilities to access treatment and other health services, so village health workers played a key role to collect the list of people that were sick, the type of ailments and where people had known chronic conditions. VHWs would go to the clinic and collect medication on their behalf. For ailments within their mandate of work, VHWs continued working in communities, screening children for malnutrition, treating children for diarrhoea, counselling of pregnant and lactating women, distribution of family planning pills and the like,” said Nyanhete.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
CAN MOBILE PHONES ACTUALLY IMPROVE HEALTH?
The greatest current potential for “mHealth,” as it is called, is in
raising awareness about risks and symptoms. Ailments such as
heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, and diabetes – so-called non-
communicable diseases (NCDs), meaning they are not caused by
infections passed from person to person -- are caused to a great
extent by behavior. (...) If mobile-phone applications can reduce
the incidence of serious ailments such as heart problems, diabetes,
and cancer; can reduce the number of unnecessary doctors’ visits;
can substitute inexpensively for various laboratory tests; and can
catch health problems quickly, before they become more serious,
more difficult, and more costly to treat, then a great deal of
traditional health infrastructure may not have to be built.

EUROPEAN OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES STATISTICS : SUPPORTING PAPER / SUBMITTED BY EUROSTAT
To supplement the European statistics on accidents at work1 that have been collected
since 1993,2 Eurostat is working on the production of European occupational diseases statistics.3
These two projects are based on national administrative sources and come under the heading of
article 137 (ex-article 118 A) of the Treaty establishing the European Community and the
Council resolution of 27 March 19954 inviting the Commission to bring to a conclusion the work
of harmonizing statistics on accidents at work and improve the available data on occupational
diseases (...) The 10 commonest were hypoacousis caused by noise (18,419 cases), skin
ailments caused by allergy provoking or irritative substances (8,767), respiratory ailments of an
allergic nature (4,543), silicosis (4,381), asbestosis (3,894), paralysis of the nerves due to
pressure (3,392), osteoarticular diseases of the hands and wrists caused by vibration (2,539),
angioneurotic diseases caused by mechanical vibration (2,454), diseases of the periarticular
sacs caused by pressure (2,305) and mesothelioma (1,446). (...) The resulting methodological proposals are
designed to yield statistics during EODS Phase 1 that display the following characteristics:
- providing figures on the incidence of definitive first registrations for the diagnosis
and type of occupational disease under consideration in the reference year;
- distinguishing between three types of occupational disease: (i) temporary
ailments (causing a simple interruption in work, the first interruption occurring
during the reference year), the seriousness being measured by the number of
CES/SEM.41/18
page 3
working days lost; (ii) permanent ailments (first registration of permanent
incapacity for work during the year), a distinction being made between serious
permanent incapacity, the seriousness being measured by a level of disability
higher than a minimum threshold, and minor cases; (iii) fatal diseases (death
occurring within the year).
