Assessing the utility of the Covid-19 epidemic Situations of Concern classification system in guiding operational responses to the pandemic in the WHO African region
During a public health emergency, early implementation of response activities is crucial for saving lives and protecting livelihoods. The COVID-19 pandemic, declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020, posed a global public health crisis that required timely decision-making despite limited data and capacity. In this context, WHO’s Regional Office for Africa (AFRO) developed the Situations of Concern (SOC) classification syst…

Spatial–temporal distribution of chikungunya virus in Brazil
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is mainly transmitted by the invasive mosquito Aedes ( Stegomyia ) aegypti in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. However, genetic adaptations of the virus to the peri domestic mosquito vector Aedes ( Stegomyia ) albopictus has resulted in enhanced vector competence and associated epidemics and may contribute to further geographic expansion of CHIKV. However, evidence-based data on the relative role of Ae. albopi…
Covid-19 pandemic in Africa’s island nations during the first 9 months
The geographic and economic characteristics unique to island nations create a different set of conditions for, and responses to, the spread of a pandemic compared with those of mainland countries. Here, we aimed to describe the initial period of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with the potential conditions and responses affecting variation in the burden of infections and severe disease burden, across the six island nations of the WHO’s Africa region…
An in-depth statistical analysis of the Covid-19 pandemic’s initial spread in the WHO African region
During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, sub-Saharan African countries experienced comparatively lower rates of SARS-CoV-2 infections and related deaths than in other parts of the world, the reasons for which remain unclear. Yet, there was also considerable variation between countries. Here, we explored potential drivers of this variation among 46 of the 47 WHO African region Member States in a cross-sectional study. We described five indi…
Leveraging human resources for outbreak analysis
Emerging infectious diseases are a growing threat in sub-Saharan African countries, but the human and technical capacity to quickly respond to outbreaks remains limited. Here, we describe the experience and lessons learned from a joint project with the WHO Regional Office for Africa (WHO AFRO) to support the sub-Saharan African COVID-19 response.In June 2020, WHO AFRO contracted a number of consultants to reinforce the COVID-19 response in member…
Prevalências de doenças crônicas e acesso aos serviços de saúde no Brasil
As Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis (DCNT) são as principais causas de morte no mundo, impactando fortemente sobre populações mais vulneráveis. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as mudanças nas prevalências dessas doenças, nas condições de saúde, acesso e utilização de serviços de saúde no Brasil, entre 2008 e 2019. Como ferramenta analítica, foram utilizados testes de diferenças de proporções e modelos lineares generalizados, considerando …
