世界卫生组织与联合国艾滋病规划署联合推出了针对青少年卫生保健服务的全球质量标准,旨在帮助各国提升青少年健康护理水平1。该标准倡导建立对青少年友好的服务体系,包括提供免费或低成本的咨询服务、允许青少年无需父母同意即可就诊,以及确保医疗隐私和无歧视对待1。
全球范围内,青少年死亡的前三大原因分别为道路交通伤害、艾滋病相关疾病和自杀1。在非洲地区,艾滋病更成为青少年的首要死因1。
为确保标准得到有效执行,该方案强调了医疗培训的重要性1。目前医疗和护理专业学生多数缺乏针对青少年特定需求的培训内容1。在标准制定过程中,超过1000名全球青少年参与了反馈和意见收集工作1。该标准已获得广泛认可,超过25个低收入和中等收入国家已在国家层面采纳了相关标准1。
The World Health Organization and the United Nations AIDS Programme have introduced global quality standards for adolescent healthcare services, designed to help countries enhance the quality of health and care provided to young people 1. The standards recommend delivering adolescent-friendly services with free or low-cost counseling, access without appointment requirements or parental consent, and guarantees of confidentiality and non-discrimination 1.
The initiative reflects urgent needs in adolescent health. Road traffic injuries, HIV-related illnesses, and suicide represent the leading three causes of adolescent death globally 1. In Africa specifically, HIV-related disease is the primary cause of death among adolescents, while globally it ranks as the second leading cause 1. The new standards emphasize the critical importance of medical training, as most students in medical and nursing programs currently lack specialized instruction on adolescent-specific healthcare needs 1.
The standards have already gained substantial uptake, with more than 25 low-income and middle-income countries adopting national-level adolescent health service standards 1. The development process engaged more than 1,000 adolescents worldwide to gather feedback and incorporate their perspectives 1.
