Multisectoral resilience for the next global health emergency
What made primary health care resilient against Covid-19? A mixed-methods positive deviance study in Nigeria
INTRODUCTION: The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic overwhelmed some primary health care (PHC) systems, while others adapted and recovered. In Nigeria, large, within-state variations existed in the ability to maintain PHC service volumes. Identifying characteristics of high-performing local government areas (LGAs) can improve understanding of subnational health systems resilience. METHODS: Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, we …
Maintaining essential health services during Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted the delivery of essential health services (EHS) worldwide, contributing to excess morbidity and mortality from preventable conditions.

This cross-country analysis aimed to identify beneficial practices and policies employed by six low- and middle-income countr…
Covid-19 surveillance in Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Senegal and Uganda
All the four countries demonstrated a prompt public health surveillance response and adopted similar approaches to surveillance with some adaptations as the pandemic progresses. There is need for investments to enhance surveillance approaches and systems including decentralizing surveillance to the subnational and community levels, strengthening capabilities for genomic surveillance and use of digital technologies, among others. Investing in heal…
