  • Adopting sustainable innovations for remote access to TB and HIV care in South Africa

    Open AccessMichael Galvin, Denise Evans et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    For the last decade, South Africa has made substantial progress to control the dual HIV and TB epidemics. However, disruptions in TB and HIV treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic threatened to reverse this. This study aimed to identify adaptations in HIV and TB service delivery models in response to COVID-19 and government restrictions. This information informed the development of an online survey, which was utilized as part of a consultation ex…

  • Migrant men and HIV care engagement in Johannesburg, South Africa

    Open AccessMaria F Nardell, Caroline Govathson et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Our study revealed a high proportion of migrants within our community-based sample of men and demonstrated a need for HIV and other healthcare services that effectively reach migrants in Johannesburg. Future research is warranted to further disaggregate this heterogenous population by different dimensions of mobility and to understand how to design HIV programs in ways that will address migrants' challenges

  • Assessment of facility-level antiretroviral treatment patient status utilizing a national-level laboratory cohort

    Open AccessJoshua P Murphy, Khumbo Shumba et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Background: Most estimates of HIV retention are derived at the clinic level through antiretroviral (ART) patient management systems, which capture ART clinic visit data, yet these cannot account for silent transfers across HIV treatment sites. Patient laboratory monitoring visits may also be observed in routinely collected laboratory data, which include ART monitoring tests such as CD4 count and HIV viral load, key to our work here. Methods: In t…

  • Quasi-experimental evaluation of a financial incentive for first-dose Covid-19 vaccination among adults aged ≥60 years in South Africa

    Open AccessCandice Chetty-Makkan, Harsha Thirumurthy et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 vaccination coverage in South Africa (RSA) remains low despite increased access to vaccines. On 1 November 2021, RSA introduced the Vooma Voucher programme which provided a small guaranteed financial incentive, a Vooma Voucher redeemable at grocery stores, for COVID-19 vaccination among older adults, a population most vulnerable to serious illness, hospitalisation and death. However, the association of financial incentives …

  • Reduction in initiations of drug-sensitive tuberculosis treatment in South Africa during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessMariet Benade, Lawrence Long et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    In response to the global pandemic of COVID-19, South Africa implemented a strict lockdown in March 2020 before its first COVID-19 wave started, gradually lifted restrictions between May and September 2020, and then re-imposed restrictions in December 2020 in response to its second wave. There is concern that COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality, the deprioritization of TB activities, fear of transmission, and societal restrictions led to a r…

  • Assessment of facility-based tuberculosis data quality in an integrated HIV/TB database in three South African districts

    Open AccessJoshua P Murphy, Sharon Kgowedi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Background Assessment of data quality is essential to successful monitoring & evaluation of tuberculosis (TB) services. South Africa uses the Three Interlinked Electronic Register (TIER.Net) to monitor TB diagnoses and treatment outcomes. We assessed the quality of routine programmatic data as captured in TIER.Net. Methods We reviewed 277 records from routine data collected for adults who had started TB treatment for drug-sensitive (DS-) TB betwe…

    Open AccessMargareth Ndomondo-Sigonda, Jacqui Miot et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    The EAC regulatory harmonization initiative has contributed to improved capacity to regulate medical products. The indicators generated from this research can be replicated for evaluation of similar initiatives across and beyond the African continent and contribute to public health policy

  • Primary healthcare seeking behaviour of low-income patients across the public and private health sectors in South Africa

    Open AccessK Govender, Sarah Girdwood et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    It is imperative to understand the potential impact on where PHC services are accessed once affordability is mitigated through the NHI as this has implications on planning and contracting of services under the NHI

  • Understanding the Reasons for Deferring ART Among Patients Diagnosed Under the Same-Day-ART Policy in Johannesburg, South Africa

    Open AccessDorina Onoya, Tembeka Sineke et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2021

    We aimed to examine the correlates of antiretroviral therapy (ART) deferral to inform ART demand creation and retention interventions for patients diagnosed with HIV during the Universal Test and Treat (UTT) policy in South Africa. We conducted a cohort study enrolling newly diagnosed HIV-positive adults (≥ 18 years), at four primary healthcare clinics in Johannesburg between October 2017 and August 2018. Patients were interviewed immediately aft…

  • Community health worker models in South Africa

    Open AccessJoshua P Murphy, Aneesa Moolla et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021

    South Africa has a long history of community health workers (CHWs). It has been a journey that has required balancing constrained resources and competing priorities. CHWs form a bridge between communities and healthcare service provision within health facilities and act as the cornerstone of South Africa’s Ward-Based Primary Healthcare Outreach Teams. This study aimed to document the CHW policy implementation landscape across six provinces in Sou…
