A capacity strengthening model toward self-reliant and sustainable one-health workforce in six East African Community Partner States
The burden of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Africa highlights the critical need for strengthened genomic surveillance capacities that are embedded within the national public health framework. In the East African Community (EAC), this challenge is compounded by limited infrastructure and insufficient workforce capacity in bioinformatics and genomics, particularly within National Public Health Laboratories (NPHLs). This …
Unpacking ‘irrational’ behaviours
Stewardship of antibiotic medicines will likely play a key role in curtailing the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) globally. In East Africa, drug sellers are a critical group for interventions because they often dispense without prescription and violate regulations designed to facilitate antibiotic stewardship. Currently, measures to tackle regulatory avoidance are often rooted in individuated cognitive-behavioural approaches that label sel…
Treatment seeking behaviours, antibiotic use and relationships to multi-drug resistance
Antibacterial resistance (ABR) is a major public health threat. An important accelerating factor is treatment-seeking behaviour, including inappropriate antibiotic (AB) use. In many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) this includes taking ABs with and without prescription sourced from various providers, including health facilities and community drug sellers. However, investigations of complex treatment-seeking, AB use and drug resistance in …
Using queueing models as a decision support tool in allocating point-of-care HIV viral load testing machines in Kisumu County, Kenya
Point-of-care (POC) technologies—including HIV viral load (VL) monitoring—are expanding globally, including in resource-limited settings. Modelling could allow decision-makers to consider the optimal strategy(ies) to maximize coverage and access, minimize turnaround time (TAT) and minimize cost with limited machines. Informed by formative qualitative focus group discussions with stakeholders focused on model inputs, outputs and format, we created…
