Water is the most essential substance for any life on the earth but it can also be a life threatening fluid sometimes. One of the reasons of deaths in the world is due to poor quality and unhygienic water. The world health organization estimates that 80% of diseases worldwide are water borne.The presence of contaminants in water resulted adverse health effects such as gastrointestinal problems, neurological disorders , reproductive problems and pregnancy problems which ultimately comprises the health of infants, pregnant women, elder’s people and those who already suffered from any disease and on medications. In this paper, we will analyze thedifferent types of water borne diseases leading to deaths. We will focus on specific maternity age group 15-49 years in India. The considered data is provided by Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME)-2018.This analysis will help to identify the severity of hazardous disease.These investigations will be useful for the wellness of pregnant women and their fetus. This analysis suggestsdrinking water should be check regularly to know the presence of micro organisms along with other harmful toxic elements. There is a need to organize an awareness program among the pregnant women that tells about the health risk from drinking the contaminated water during pregnancy.

Around the end of December 2019, a new beta-coronavirus from Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China began to spread rapidly. The new virus, called SARS-CoV-2, which could be transmitted through respiratory droplets, had a range of mild to severe symptoms, from simple cold in some cases to death in others. The disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 was named COVID-19 by WHO and has so far killed more people than SARS and MERS. Following the widespread global outbreak of COVID-19, with more than 132758 confirmed cases and 4955 deaths worldwide, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic disease in January 2020. Earlier studies on viral pneumonia epidemics has shown that pregnant women are at greater risk than others. During pregnancy, the pregnant woman is more prone to infectious diseases. Research on both SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, which are pathologically similar to SARS-CoV-2, has shown that being infected with these viruses during pregnancy increases the risk of maternal death, stillbirth, intrauterine growth retardation and, preterm delivery. With the exponential increase in cases of COVID-19 throughout the world, there is a need to understand the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the health of pregnant women, through extrapolation of earlier studies that have been conducted on pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV. There is an urgent need to understand the chance of vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from mother to fetus and the possibility of the virus crossing the placental barrier. Additionally, since some viral diseases and antiviral drugs may have a negative impact on the mother and fetus, in which case, pregnant women need special attention for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19.

The World Health Organization (WHO) states that maternal mortality worldwide due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth in 2017 is estimated at around 810 cases. Between 2000 and 2017 there was a decline in the ratio of MMR around the world by 38%. WHO also states that 94% of global maternal deaths occur in low and middle income countries. In Indonesia, maternal deaths due to complications from pregnancy or childbirth every year are estimated at 20,000 mothers died from five million births. Delivery assistance by trained health workers in health facilities can be an effort to reduce MMR and IMR. In addition, awareness of pregnant women is also important for the importance of having a pregnancy with a health worker. This community service aims to increase the knowledge of pregnant women about anemia and to detect early pregnancy complications by laboratory examinations. The target of this activity is 15 pregnant women. The dedication activity is conducting educational activities, laboratory examinations in Tambakreja Village, Cilacap Regency. Based on the results of this activity it was concluded that there was an increase in knowledge of pregnant women about anemia and found 2 pregnant women experiencing anemia from 15 pregnant women and urine examination found all negative pregnant women

School nurses may deal with students presenting with symptoms associated with infections popularized in the news. Although rare, the implications of missing or misdiagnosing these infections are potentially life-threatening and devastating. We present three students presenting with febrile illnesses associated with neurologic symptoms, a rash, and fatigue, focusing on the initial assessment and management of these students and their associated “hot topic” infection. The authors also discuss two public health organizations, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (https://www.cdc.gov/) and the World Health Organization (https://www.who.int/), online references for the school nurse to research both emerging and common infectious diseases.

In malaria endemic areas, pregnant women are more susceptible to infection with malaria parasites than non-pregnant women. The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2014 estimated that 10,000 maternal deaths each year were associated with malaria infection during pregnancy. The aim of the study was to describe the incidence of malaria in pregnant women at the Boven Digoel District General Hospital, Papua. Methods This research uses a descriptive type of research. Samples were taken as many as 92 pregnant women who were taken by accidental sampling. Collecting data by using a questionnaire sheet. Data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate. The results showed that from 78 pregnant women who were positive for malaria, most of them suffered from anemia as many as 51 people (65.4%) and 27 people did not suffer from anemia (34.6%). For the incidence of abortion from 78 pregnant women who were positive for malaria, most of them did not experience an abortion as many as 62 people (79.5%) and 16 people had an abortion (20.5%). For the habit of being out of the house at night, from 78 pregnant women who were positive for malaria, most of them were always outside at night as many as 41 people (52.6%) and 37 people (47 people) were not out of the house at night. ,4%). The conclusion of this study, the description of the incidence of malaria in pregnant women mostly suffer from anemia, do not have abortions and are always outside the house at night.

AbstractThe World Health Organization, Panafrican Centre for Emergency Preparedness and Response (WHO/EPR) was established in 1988, and officially opened in March 1989, as a practical and functional response to the identified need for a regional institution to deal effectively with the health and related consequences of both natural and man-made disasters. The principal objective of the Centre is to aid member countries in the prevention and/or reduction of the adverse health effects of disasters, be they direct or indirect, by strengthening national capacities for disaster preparedness and response. The WHO has reoriented its disaster operations unit to incorporate preparedness activities, particularly within an overall developmental framework which is crucial for reducing losses, both human and material, in the event of a disaster. In keeping with this focus, the Centre has defined its goals and activities: development of national disaster preparedness programs; training of national and international personnel in health emergency preparedness and response; production and dissemination of technical publications on disaster preparedness and management; undertaking risk assessment missions; and executing relevant research projects.
