Turning the tide against malaria in high-burden African countries
Despite decades of progress, malaria continues to impose an outsized health and economic burden in High Burden to High Impact (HBHI) countries. Using World Health Organization (WHO) data from 2015–2024, we analyzed epidemiological trajectories with the Mann-Kendall (MK) trend test, which handles heteroscedastic data, identified persistent bottlenecks, and assessed the effectiveness of current strategies. Actionable solutions have also been propos…
Comparative Views of Health Professionals and Traditional Healers on the trado-medical uses of Impepho leaf (Helichrysum odoratissimum) from Eastern Cape and Kwazulu-Natal provinces in South Africa
Background: Impepho (Helichrysum odoratissimum) is a plant utilised for spiritual and traditional medicinal purposes within South African culture. However, there are little or no empirical evidence on the trado-medical use of Impepho hence , this study aimed to close this gap by exploring differing views on trado-medical uses of impepho as a potential resource for drug development advancement. Methods: The study design involved the use of a quali…
“If diagnosed early, you will be stressed and die…” drivers for breast cancer screening services uptake among women in Dar es Salaam
Worldwide, there has been an increase in the breast cancer mortality rate, with disproportionately high rates in low and middle-income countries. Addressing breast cancer starts with early detection through screening services. In Tanzania, despite being among countries with high rates of breast cancer, screening services uptake has remained low. This study aimed to explore the drivers for breast cancer screening among women accessing health care …
Developing a Model for Integrating of Tuberculosis, Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Primary Healthcare Services in Oliver Reginald (O.R) Tambo District, Eastern Cape, South Africa
Despite the policy, frameworks for integration exist; integration of TB and HIV services is far from ideal in many resource-limited countries, including South Africa. Few studies have examined the advantages and disadvantages of integrated TB and HIV care in public health facilities, and even fewer have proposed conceptual models for proven integration. This study aims to fill this vacuum by describing the development of a paradigm for integratin…
Prevalence of HIV and Selected Disease Burden in Outpatients of Primary Health Care (PHC) Facilities in Rural Districts of the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
Assessing underlying illnesses can inform health stakeholders about chronic conditions for targeted enhanced prevention and treatment strategies. Since the Eastern Cape Province has a high disease burden, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and selected disease burden of outpatients from primary health care (PHC) facilities in the districts. From February 2019 to February 2021, a cross-section…
Risk Factors Attributable to Hypertension among HIV-Infected Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy in Selected Rural Districts of the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
The findings of this study indicate that hypertension is a prevalent concern among HIV patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. HIV patients should have their blood pressure checked regularly, and they should be screened for high blood pressure and given treatment for it
Impact of attitudes and beliefs on antiretroviral treatment adherence intention among HIV-positive pregnant and breastfeeding women in Zambia
Compared to behavioral beliefs, attitudes about ART were more influential for intention to adhere. This knowledge will help inform effective and appropriate ART counseling for pregnant and breastfeeding women at different points along their ART time course
Prenatal care and uptake of HIV testing among pregnant women in Gambia
A large proportion of women in Gambia were not using antenatal care and HIV tests during pregnancy. There are important sociodemographic differences in using maternal healthcare services such as HIV testing during pregnancy. This calls for strategic direction to promote the utilization of these services
