DHAKA: Bangladesh is struggling to tamp down a surge in dengue cases as climate change turns the disease into a year-round crisis, leaving some #paediatric #wards packed with #children squeezed two to a bed.

A new #Lancet series shows that improving and expanding methods such as hand hygiene, #sterilisation of equipment in #healthcare facilities, safe #drinkingwater, effective #sanitation and use of #paediatric #vaccines could prevent #antimicrobial deaths.

Happy to share our paper on funding specialised #paediatric #palliative #care in #Switzerland. Based on a document analysis we found SPPC is complex and fragmented, with funding from public, private and charitable sources. With a modified Delphi study 21 experts identified 23 obstacles and 29 priorities. The paper is #openaccess and available here: https://smw.ch/index.php/smw/article/view/3498
