RESUMEN

This report provides an overview of the latest tuberculosis (TB) epidemiological situation and is published jointly by the WHO Regional Office for Europe and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. In 2022, a little over 170 000 incident TB cases were notified in countries of the WHO European Region, a slight increase from 2021. The increase in 2022 is likely due to a good recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic in access to and provision of TB services in many countries and the introduction of active TB case-finding activities. Despite the notable progress achieved in the fight against TB, countries still face various challenges in reaching the goal of ending the TB epidemic in the WHO European Region. Monitoring progress towards the targets of the new Tuberculosis action plan for the WHO European Region 2023–2030 is difficult due to limited or no reporting on some indicators. Further improvement of data completeness and representativeness should be the focus for all countries.

RESUMEN

This analysis of the Danish health system reviews recent developments in organization and governance, health financing, health care provision, health reforms and health system performance. Population health in Denmark isgood and improving, with life expectancy above the European Union average but is, however, lagging behind the other Nordic countries. Denmark has a universal and tax-financed health system, providing coverage for acomprehensive package of health services. Notable exclusions to the benefits package include outpatient prescription drugs and adult dental care, which require co-payment and are the main causes of out-of-pocket spending. The hospital sector has been transformed during the past 15 years through a process of consolidating hospitals and the centralization of medical specialties. However, in recent years, there has been a move towards decentralization to increase the volume and quality of care provided outside hospitals in primary and local care settings. The Danish health care system is, to a very high degree, based on digital solutions that health care providers, citizens and institutions all use. Ensuring the availability of health care in all parts of Denmark is increasingly seen as a priority issue.Ensuring sufficient health workers, especially nurses, poses a significant challenge to the Danish health system’s sustainability and resilience. While a comprehensive package of policies has been put in place to increase thenumber of nurses being trained and retain those already working in the system, such measures need time to work. Addressing staffing shortages requires long-term action. Profound changes in working practices and workingenvironments will be required to ensure the sustainability of the health workforce and, by extension, the health system into the future.

RESUMEN

This report provides an overview of Ukraine's taxation and pricing policies for alcoholic beverages between 2011 and 2021. The report also provides insights into the health consequences of alcohol consumption and endeavours to establish links and correlations between alcohol taxation, pricing, affordability and decreased consumption. The report aggregates the available data from various sources over the decade and provides commentary on the quality of this evidence. This work was intended to serve as grounding evidence to perform different scenario-building analyses and to further inform decisions for other alcohol taxation policies in Ukraine. Due to the invasion of the Russian Federation of Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022, these plans were postponed, but it is hoped that they will be resumed as part of country's recovery strategy. The report also provides essential evidence to support the WHO SAFER initiative and promote action plans to reduce the harm done by alcohol.
