Urban health issues of the marginalised in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

The other side has problems with more significant inequity, [...]

A growing disadvantage of being born in an urban area? Analysing urban–rural disparities in neonatal mortality in 21 African countries with a focus on Tanzania

The objective of this study is to understand this disparity in SSA countries and examine the specific factors potentially unde…

METHODS: We traced former participants in …
Designing drug shops for young women in Tanzania
Adolescent and young adult women in sub-Saharan Africa experience barriers to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services that elevate their risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition and unintended pregnancy. Community drug shops may be effective distribution points to connect young women with SRH products. Thus, we used human-centred design (HCD) to create drug shops where young women could access HIV self-testing and contraceptio…
