fundamental position in the local health system. (...) Focus on production and management of community-based workers that are accustomed to the evolving local health needs in both urban and rural areas and whose functions are well
embedded within the local health system, plans and processes.

Reading time:
An international training workshop on “Key enabling factors for successful local production and supply of quality-assured medicines” started on Monday 17 December 2018 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. (...)

“Many people living in camps and local communities have little access to health care and their situation could deteriorate quickly,” the UN World Health Organization ( WHO ) said. (...) The increase in the local population has overstretched the capacity of health services and aid agencies, while supply chains have been affected.”
(...) There was an exchange of fire with the gendarmes responsible for camp security. One local person was wounded.
Ms. Pagonis said contingency plans were in place to keep the six camps running for a month after UNHCR and its partners trained refugee committees to take on services such as water and sanitation, food distribution, and health.

UN-Habitat works directly with local authorities and understands how they must balance bringing in measures to stop the pandemic from spreading while ensuring communities have access to health care, food supplies and social services for the most vulnerable. To achieve this balance, local authorities should work with a wide range of partners including public health, water and sanitation experts, government agencies at all levels, social scientists, technology innovators and urban planners.
• National governments need to work closely with regional and local authorities to tailor the response appropriately. This requires coordination on deciding what essential businesses and public services should remain open during different phases of the pandemic and recovery.
• Local governments must be supported as they prioritize the health needs of their most vulnerable communities.

In an application received and recorded at the Registry of the Dispute Tribunal on 4 December
2009, the Applicant disputes the decision of the Assistant Secretary-General, Controller, Office of
Programme Planning, Budgets and Accounts, to outsource the medical insurance plan for local staff
to GMC Services.
2. He asks the Tribunal to rescind:
(a) The above decision as it applies to local staff working in Bangkok;
(b).. (...) The medical insurance plan for local staff and
former local staff is fundamental to their living and working conditions; but paragraphs (f) and (h)
of Rule 8.1 of the provisional Staff Rules provide that administrative instructions or directives on
issues relating to staff welfare, including conditions of work and general conditions of life, shall be
transmitted in advance to the executive committees of the representative staff bodies concerned for
consideration;
(b) Contrary to the view of the Management Evaluation Unit, the decision contested is
appealable because it was a unilateral decision having a direct legal effect on many staff members,
including the Applicant;
(c) The requirement that current and former local staff produce the necessary documents
for reimbursement of medical expenses in English has major disadvantages. (...) The Applicant challenges the decision to outsource management of the medical insurance
plan for local staff to GMC Services as regards personnel serving in Bangkok.
