  • Strengthening equitable research capacity in response to infectious diseases of poverty

    Open AccessEmmanuel Asampong, Maria Isabel Echavarria Mejia et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    The inequitable global distribution of resources for research parallels the unequal global distribution of morbidity and mortality due to infectious diseases. Significant gaps in research capacity prevail, and equitable and accessible opportunities for research remain a priority. We argue for the democratisation of research: without equitable participation in, and ownership of, research, by those who are implementing the research or are part of t…

  • Differential impacts of health systems and sociocultural environment on vulnerable populations during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessJakyung Lee, Susan Park et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    The study underscores that vulnerabilities vary greatly depending on the social environment and context of each country, affecting the degree and types of vulnerable groups. It is critical that measures to ensure universal health coverage and equal accessibility to healthcare are specifically designed to address the needs of the most vulnerable. Despite commonalities among groups across different societies, these interventions must be adapted to …

  • Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 and risk factors in Bantul Regency in March-April 2021, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

    Open AccessRiris Andono Ahmad, Citra Indriani et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    COVID-19 case counts in Indonesia inevitably underestimate the true cumulative incidence of infection due to limited diagnostic test availability, barriers to testing accessibility and asymptomatic infections. Therefore, community-based serological data is essential for understanding the true prevalence of infections. This study aims to estimate the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and factors related to the seropositivity in Bantul Regency…

  • Covid-19 public health and social measures

    Open AccessChuan De Foo, Manindra Verma et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    The COVID-19 pandemic will not be the last of its kind. As the world charts a way towards an equitable and resilient recovery, Public Health and Social Measures (PHSMs) that were implemented since the beginning of the pandemic need to be made a permanent feature of health systems that can be activated and readily deployed to tackle sudden surges in infections going forward. Although PHSMs aim to blunt the spread of the virus, and in turn protect …

  • Evaluating Covid-19 decision-making in a humanitarian setting

    Open AccessAbdihamid Warsame, Mohamed M Fuje et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    The global COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented in its scope and impact. While a great deal of research has been directed towards the response in high-income countries, relatively little is known about the way in which decision-makers in low-income and crisis-affected countries have contended with the epidemic. Through use of an a priori decision framework, we aimed to evaluate the process of policy and operational decision-making in relation to th…

  • The Capacity of the Indonesian Healthcare System to Respond to Covid-19

    Open AccessYodi Mahendradhata, Ni Luh Putu Eka Andayani et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    The Indonesian Government has issued various policies to fight Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). However, cases have continued to fluctuate over a year into the pandemic. There is a need to assess the country's healthcare system's capacity to absorb and accommodate the varying healthcare demands. We reviewed the current capacity of Indonesia's healthcare system to respond to COVID-19 based on the four essential elements of surge capacity: staff, st…

  • Aligning policymaking in decentralized health systems

    Open AccessWhenayon Simeon Ajisegiri, Seye Abimbola et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2021

    Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are leading causes of death globally and in Nigeria they account for 29% of total deaths. Nigeria’s health system is decentralized. Fragmentation in governance in federalised countries with decentralised health systems is a well-recognised challenge to coherent national health policymaking. The policy response to the rising NCD burden therefore requires strategic intent by national and sub-national governments. Thi…

  • The effects of polio eradication efforts on health systems

    Open AccessDaniela C Rodríguez, Abigail H Neel et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021

    Vertical disease control programmes have enormous potential to benefit or weaken health systems, and it is critical to understand how programmes’ design and implementation impact the health systems and communities in which they operate. We use the Develop–Distort Dilemma (DDD) framework to understand how the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) distorted or developed local health systems. We include document review and 176 interviews with r…
