  • Outcome and management of 2–59-month-old Nigerian children with chest indrawing pneumonia at primary-level healthcare facilities

    Open AccessAdegoke G Falade, AG Falade et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2026

    Background: In 2012, World Health Organization (WHO) recommended outpatient oral amoxicillin for children aged 2-59 months with chest indrawing pneumonia without general danger signs, based on randomised trials. We assessed mortality and case management for such children routinely managed at primary healthcare centres (PHCs) in Lagos, Nigeria. Methods: This prospective observational cohort study (September 2021-September 2023) was conducted in Ik…

  • Linking communities and health facilities to improve child health in low-resource settings

    Open AccessAgnese Iuliano, Rochelle Ann Burge et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2024

    Community–facility linkage interventions are gaining popularity as a way to improve community health in low-income settings. Their aim is to create/strengthen a relationship between community members and local healthcare providers. Representatives from both groups can address health issues together, overcome trust problems, potentially leading to participants’ empowerment to be responsible for their own health. This can be achieved via different …

  • The Lancet Nigeria Commission

    Open AccessIbrahim Abubakar, Sarah L Dalglish et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2022

    Health is central to the development of any country. Nigeria’s gross domestic product is the largest in Africa, but its per capita income of about ₦770 000 (US$2000) is low with a highly inequitable distribution of income, wealth, and therefore, health. It is a picture of poverty amidst plenty. Nigeria is both a wealthy country and a very poor one. About 40% of Nigerians live in poverty, in social conditions that create ill health, and with the e…

  • Participatory learning and action cycles with women's groups to prevent neonatal death in low-resource settings

    Open AccessAnni-Maria Pulkki-Brännström, Hassan Haghparast-Bidgoli et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021

    WHO recommends participatory learning and action cycles with women's groups as a cost-effective strategy to reduce neonatal deaths. Coverage is a determinant of intervention effectiveness, but little is known about why cost-effectiveness estimates vary significantly. This article reanalyses primary cost data from six trials in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Malawi to describe resource use, explore reasons for differences in costs and cost-effective…

  • Stillbirths

    Open AccessJoy Elizabeth Lawn, Hannah Blencowe et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2016

    An estimated 2.6 million third trimester stillbirths occurred in 2015 (uncertainty range 2.4-3.0 million). The number of stillbirths has reduced more slowly than has maternal mortality or mortality in children younger than 5 years, which were explicitly targeted in the Millennium Development Goals. The Every Newborn Action Plan has the target of 12 or fewer stillbirths per 1000 births in every country by 2030. 94 mainly high-income countries and …

  • National, regional, and worldwide estimates of stillbirth rates in 2015, with trends from 2000

    Open AccessHannah Blencowe, Simon Cousen et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Previous estimates have highlighted a large global burden of stillbirths, with an absence of reliable data from regions where most stillbirths occur. The Every Newborn Action Plan (ENAP) targets national stillbirth rates (SBRs) of 12 or fewer stillbirths per 1000 births by 2030. We estimate SBRs and numbers for 195 countries, including trends from 2000 to 2015. METHODS: We collated SBR data meeting prespecified inclusion criteria from…

  • Countdown to 2015 country case studies

    Open AccessCarlyn Mann, Courtney Ng et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    Increases in health and RMNCH funding accompanied improvements in outcomes, though low-income countries are still very reliant on external financing, and out-of-pocket comprising a growing share of funds in middle-income settings. Enhancements in tracking RMNCH expenditures across countries are still needed to better understand whether domestic and global health financing initiatives lead to improved outcomes as RMNCH continues to be a priority u…

    These are the first HSP tools using mixed methods to systematically analyse and describe RMNCH changes within and across countries, important in informing accelerated progress for ending preventable maternal, newborn and child mortality in the post-2015 era

  • Newborn survival in Malawi

    Open AccessEvelyn Zimba, Mary Kinney et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2012Cited by: 13References: 24

    Malawi is one of two low-income sub-Saharan African countries on track to meet the Millennium Development Goal (MDG 4) for child survival despite high fertility and HIV and low health worker density. With neonatal deaths becoming an increasing proportion of under-five deaths, addressing newborn survival is critical for achieving MDG 4. We examine change for newborn survival in the decade 2000–10, analysing mortality and coverage indicators whilst…
