Lebanon is a country that has always been tangled with the ever looming threat of a growing health crisis. With a failing government and massive influx of refugees, mostly the victim of their war torn economy, it seemed inevitable that sanitation procedures would run short. Now the Lebanese people and government face the challenge of the spread of Cholera, a water-borne disease, within the countries vicinity as a result of mass pollution from the formation of informal settlements as well as the country being a hotbed for political instability. These have resulted in limited success in controlling the outbreak engulfing the millions of refugees and general populace. While external powers such as the WHO have extended a hand in providing medical as well as financial assistance in counter reacting to the growing disease, an absolute solution to the problem has been largely stunted due to several socio-economic factors that have unfolded over the years as well as the rate of garbage disposal. However, as mentioned in my report I give one valid method of controlling the problem from spiralling out of control. This report will help in giving an easy insight into the current Public Health situation and ways in which it is/can be countered.

From October 2019, widespread protests in Chile have aired understandable frustrations and, more perplexingly, vicious violence. There are those who appreciate past compromises in fostering democracy and poverty reduction, and others who see only inequality and stagnation. Baffled academic communities have been unable to foreground consultative proposals for constructive change.

ABSTRACTAs a phenomenon that brings change in various aspects of life, globalization has become one of the factors driving positive and negative changes in society. One of these changes is obesity which is a health problem in various regions, especially developing countries like Asia. Economic growth that occurs through foreign trade and investment, as well as technological developments, have had a devastating effect on the lifestyle of the world community, which increasingly relies on a small amount of its power while simultaneously consuming high amounts of calories. Lack of government regulation and public awareness related to public health increasingly facilitate the development of obesity in developing societies.Keywords: Obesity, Globalization, Economy, Health, Culture DOI : https://doi.org/10.33005/jgp.v7i02.1827

"The Council to Improve Foodborne Outbreak Response (CIFOR) Guidelines for Foodborne Disease Outbreak Response were developed to aid government agencies responsible for preventing and managing foodborne disease. The Guidelines focuses on local and state agencies, including public health, environmental health, agriculture, and other agencies responsible for food safety, because they investigate most of the outbreaks of foodborne disease in the United States. However, the Guidelines also supports the federal public health and regulatory agencies critical to the U.S. food-safety infrastructure. The Guidelines describes the overall approach to outbreaks of foodborne diseases, including preparation, detection, investigation, control, and follow-up. The Guidelines also describes the roles of all key organizations involved in these outbreaks, provides recommendations for processes to improve communication and coordination among multiple agencies during multijurisdictional outbreaks, and identifies indicators that different organizations can use to gauge their performance in responding to foodborne disease outbreaks. Even though the Guidelines document provides comprehensive information for individuals and organizations involved in foodborne disease, it is not intended to replace existing procedure manuals. Agencies and individuals should use the Guidelines to compare existing procedures, fill gaps in and update site-specific procedures, create procedures where they do not exist, and train program staff. CIFOR intends the Guidelines to serve as a foundation for epidemiologists, laboratorians, environmental health specialists, and others involved in food-safety programs. Many local, state, and federal government agencies work to solve outbreaks of foodborne diseases, and CIFOR hopes this document will standardize foodborne disease investigation across all those agencies. Technical experts from different government and academic organizations across the country, representing a wide variety of disciplines, have compiled the information in the Guidelines. The Guidelines have undergone a comprehensive public review process. CIFOR considers these Guidelines a consensus document that captures best practices and identifies emerging new practices in outbreak response to foodborne diseases." - preface ; 1.

ABSTRACT Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome – novel Coronavirus 2 (SARS-nCoV-2), was first reported in Wuhan, China, in December, 2019. Since the outbreak, the virus has caused more than Six million, One hundred and forty thousand, nine hundred and thirty-four infections and over Three hundred and seventy- three thousand, five hundred forty-eight deaths globally. The first COVID -19 disease in Nigeria was reported in February, 2020 and as at the time of writing this report, Nigeria has reported about Ten thousand, five hundred and seventy-eight cases of COVID 19 with Two hundred and ninety-nine mortalities. Many critical issues have been limiting Nigeria from curtailing numerous disease outbreaks of public health significance including COVID -19, but few of these issues have been published. While responsible government agencies and international partners have been committed to limiting the spread of COVID 19 with its associated mortality and morbidity, we present in this report some social, economic, operational and institutional related issues affecting effective management of COVID -19 outbreak in Nigeria; and propose solutions for managing future outbreaks.
