Заштита од пренесување на грип и на него слични заболувања во услови на домашно лекување

Мерки за заштита од пренесување на инфекцијата на друго лице:
-
Сместување на заболеното лице во посебна просторија (домашна изолација), додека симптомите на болеста не исчезнат. Вратата на просторијата треба да биде постојано затворена.
-
Ограничување на пристапот на домашните и други лица во собата на заболениот (што помал број лица да се грижат за него, да не се дозволуваат посети).
Грипот во зимскиот период и како да се заштитите од него
Извор: Институт за јавно здравје на Р. Македонија - 18.01.2018
Грипот е акутно заболување на дишните патишта, предизвикано од вирусите на инфлуенца тип А и Б, кое најчесто се јавува во зголемен број или во епидемиска форма во текот на зимскиот период. Во овој период, чести се и инфекциите со други респираторни вируси кои имаат исти или слични симптоми со грипот.
Во пракса, тешко може да се направи разлика дали се работи за грип или обична настинка само врза база на симптоматологијата, ако не се направи лабораториска, т.е. микробиолошка потврда на причинителот на заболувањето.

By Laura Alfers - Dec 11, 2017
Healthcare is a hot button issue around the world right now. As Universal Health Coverage (UHC) has become a rallying call for the global health movement, it has been embraced by both the World Bank and the World Health Organization as a core objective and is encapsulated within the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 3.8. The elevation of the need for UHC on key global platforms has been an important shift, but there is still a gap in the understanding of informal workers in this debate.
