Pages : 0
Book Description
This HIV surveillance project is a significant initiative for the South Pacific (SP) Region, which has been well supported by Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) and key United Nations and regional non-government organizations. This report presents a synthesis and analysis of data generated by the SGS surveys from the first round of surveys, including prevalence of disease, demographic descriptors, risk behaviours and knowledge of HIV. Analyses are intended to determine which activities will strengthen surveillance systems for the second wave of surveys in 2006 and to identify factors that can be targeted in STI/HIV prevention strategies. Results are presented as a regional summary followed by country-specific chapters and will be most useful for national Ministries of Health, in-country stakeholders and other regional agencies.

Birthing in the Pacific
Author: Vicki LukerePublisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 0824846206
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
This collection explores birthing in the Pacific against the background of debates about tradition and modernity. A wide-ranging introduction and conclusion, together with case studies from Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, and Tonga, show how simple contrasts between traditional and modern practices, technocratic and organic models of childbirth, indigenous and foreign approaches, and notions of "before" and "after" can be potent but problematic. The difficulties entailed confront public health programs concerned with practical issues of infant and maternal survival in developing countries as well as scholarly analyses of birthing in cross-cultural contexts. The introduction analyzes central concepts and themes: questions of survival, safety, and well-being; the significance of postures, practices, and sites; the role of midwives, traditional birth attendants, and nurses; and the role of men in birthing and reproduction. Contributors--four anthropologists, a historian, and a community health worker--offer insights into the ways mothers, midwives, and nurses relate the traditional and the modern, and how ideas of tradition and modernity have shaped representations of Pacific childbirth. The conclusion provides researchers with a guide to relevant literature from several disciplines. As a whole the collection warns against either a celebration of emancipation through biomedicine or a recuperative romance about women's past powers in reproduction. Contributors: Ruta Fiti-Sinclair, Margaret Jolly, Vicki Lukere, Shelley Mallett, Helen Morton, Christine Salomon.
