WHO at country level.

WHO's activities at country level have earned the organisation both criticism and praise. The organisation's technical publications are esteemed as authoritative guidelines for disease control. Successful disease-control programmes and contributions to health research have heightened WHO's reputation. The organisation has also provided the focus for evolution of important ideas, such as primary health care and the relevance of equity and other ethical issues. But WHO has been criticised for not adapting rapidly and logically to changes in the health field. With increasing national capacity in the more advanced developing countries, and with the involvement of new participants in the health sphere, the organisation needs to reassess its role at country level. My recommendation is that WHO improves its analytical capacity so that its programmes take into consideration the health needs of the country, its national capacity, and the contributions from other external agencies.

Communicable Disease Control

The changing paradigm of sexually transmitted disease control in the era of managed health care.

Several trends in sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) have laid the foundation for a new paradigm for STD treatment and prevention that encompasses a community-wide, population-oriented approach. Public health STD programs, in partnership with a wide variety of community collaborators, will need to carry out the essential functions of public health-assessment, policy development, and assurance-by developing resources for community organizing and planning, enhanced information systems, and comprehensive training programs for professional staff and community partners. Community providers (particularly practicing clinicians and community and hospital clinics) will need to deliver primary prevention (community health promotion and clinical preventive services) and secondary prevention (screening and treatment) services while categorical STD clinics focus on providing care for high-risk, high-frequency STD transmitters who serve as the reservoir for much of a community's bacterial STDs. Managed care organizations and public health STD programs will need to formalize collaborative arrangements and capitalize on the strengths of each organization in order to have a population-level impact on STD transmission.
