In the world practice, hemorrhages in obstetrics take leading positions within the causes of maternal morbidity and mortal ity. 800 women die every day due to childbirth complications under the data of the World Health Organization. The majority of maternal deaths occur during the perinatal period, usually within 24 hours postpartum. It is possible to prevent most of them. Lack of adequate pre-conceptional training, uncompensated extragenital diseases increase the percentage of pathological births. Consequently, practicing obstetricians-gynecologists have to face such childbirth complications as postpartum hemorrhage with increasing frequency. Uterine atonia is the main cause of postpartum hemorrhages. Uterotonic drugs administration enables to re- duce the risk of postpartum atonic hemorrhages. Particular attention should be paid to postpartum hemorrhage prevention, i.e. the use of uterotonic drugs as an integral part of the active management during the third period in natural labor and caesarean section.

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

Abstract The AGHE Presidential Symposium, related to the theme of the annual scientific meeting, underscores the importance of networks, collaborations and partnerships in advancing education in gerontology and geriatrics. AGHE has been at the forefront of many innovative programs since it was founded in 1974, contributing to the growth of the field and the recognition of education as one pillar of the field of gerontology and geriatrics, along with research, policy and practice. This symposium highlights three ongoing initiatives that promote connections and collaborations. The first paper discusses the Age-Friendly University (AFU) network which is made of institutions around the globe who have committed themselves to becoming more age-friendly in their programs and policies. AGHE endorses the AFU principles and invites its members and affiliates to call upon their institutions become part of this pioneering initiative. The AFU initiative is one of several international activities that AGHE, global leaders in education on aging, has engaged in. The second paper describes international networking activities such as collaborations with international organizations including the World Health Organization and connecting international and US students. In the third paper, initiatives to connect disciplines and professions through competency-based education and curricula are discussed. For instance, the Gerontology Competencies for Undergraduate and Graduate Education and the Program of Merit promote competency-based gerontology education across disciplines and professions.

At the end of December, 2019, a new disease of unknown aetiology appeared in Wuhan, China. It was quickly identified as a novel betacoronavirus, and related to SARS-CoV and a number of other bat-borne SARS-like coronaviruses. The virus rapidly spread to all provinces in China, as well as a number of countries overseas, and was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the Director-General of the World Health Organization on 30 January 2020. This paper describes the evolution of the outbreak, and the known properties of the novel virus, SARS-CoV-2 and the clinical disease it causes, COVID-19, and comments on some of the important gaps in our knowledge of the virus and the disease it causes. The virus is the third zoonotic coronavirus, after SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, but appears to be the only one with pandemic potential.

Interim Commission of WHO: The third session of the Interim Commission of WHO, which began on March 30, 1947 at Geneva, closed on April 12, after assigning priority to the various health problems confronting the world. Representatives of sixteen of the eighteen member states (Liberia and the Ukrainian SSR being absent) attended the session. Results of Conference discussions indicated wide-spread agreement on such matters as 1) appointment of expert committees to develop program proposals relating to specific diseases, 2) strengthening of national health services, and 3) facilities for training public health personnel. It was hoped that a practical first year's program could be presented to the first World Health Assembly when that body convenes, probably in February, 1948.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic on December 31st, 2019, with the World Health Organization being notified of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan (China), Taiwan has successfully ended two COVID-19 community outbreaks. For 19 days, the third community outbreak has now been successfully suppressed, putting Taiwan on path to end it too around Aug. 16th based on our forecast using an exponential model. Since May 28th the 7-day average of reported confirmed infected, which peaked at 593, has been falling to 204 on June 16th and the 7-day average of reported suspected and excluded cases increased to above 25 000. Resulting in a decrease in the ratio of the 7-day average of local & unknown confirmed to suspected cases—the identified control variable—to less than one third of its peak value. The later is a hallmark of working contact tracing, which together with testing and isolation of infected are the keys to ending the community outbreak.

Yersinia pestis is the aetiological agent of plague, a disease that has a place in history as one the major causes of death from the 14th to the 17th Centuries1. It is estimated that, during the Black Death pandemic, approximately 30% of the population of Europe died of plague, and so great in number were the corpses that, in many parts of Europe, the dead were placed in burial pits rather than receiving individual burials. Y. pestis has also been responsible for two other pandemics of disease. The first of these, the Justinian plague, occurred during the 1st Century. The third pandemic occurred during the latter part of the 19th Century and was confined mainly to South-East Asia1. Even today, several thousand cases of plague are reported to the World Health Organization each year, mainly from South-East Asia, the southwestern parts of the USA, Madagascar and Africa.

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. The advice that can be given is that malaria in pregnant women must be eradicated immediately so that the MCH program made by the government can be successful and the health of pregnant women can be maintained
