  • Decision-making under epistemic, strategic and institutional uncertainty during Covid-19

    Open AccessSumegha Asthana, Sanjana Mukherjee et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    BACKGROUND: Uncertainty is defined as limited knowledge or lack of predictability about past, present or future events. The COVID-19 pandemic management was significantly impacted by uncertainty, as the gaps between existing information and the necessary knowledge hindered decision-making. Current uncertainty literature primarily focuses on natural disasters, leaving a gap in understanding decision-making under uncertainty in times of public heal…

  • Countries’ progress towards Global Health Security (GHS) increased health systems resilience during the Coronavirus Disease-19 (Covid-19) pandemic

    Open AccessTyler Y Headley, Sooyoung Kim et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Research on health systems resilience during the Coronavirus Disease-2019 pandemic frequently used the Global Health Security Index (GHSI), a composite index scoring countries’ health security and related capabilities. Conflicting results raised questions regarding the validity of the GHSI as a reliable index. This study attempted to better characterize when and to what extent countries’ progress towards Global Health Security (GHS) augments heal…

  • Pediatric and adolescent HIV viral load coverage and suppression rates in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic in 12 Pepfar-supported sub-Saharan African countries in 2019 and 2020

    Open AccessDeborah Carpenter, John P Bowman et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The early period of the COVID-19 pandemic limited access to HIV services for children and adolescents living with HIV (C/ALHIV). To determine progress in providing care and treatment services, we describe viral load coverage (VLC) and suppression (VLS) (

  • Covid-19 mortality sentinel surveillance at a tertiary referral hospital in Lusaka, Zambia, 2020–2021

    Open AccessJonas Z Hines, Priscilla Kapombe et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Deaths from COVID-19 likely exceeded official statistics in Zambia because of limited testing and incomplete death registration. We describe a sentinel COVID-19 mortality surveillance system in Lusaka, Zambia. We analyzed surveillance data on deceased persons of all ages undergoing verbal autopsy (VA) and COVID-19 testing at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) mortuary in Lusaka, Zambia, from April 2020 through August 2021. VA was done by surv…

  • Geospatial and temporal mapping of detectable HIV-1 viral loads amid dolutegravir rollout in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

    Open AccessLilishia Gounder, Andrew Tomita et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    South Africa rolled out dolutegravir (DTG) as first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) in December 2019 to overcome high rates of pretreatment non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor drug resistance. In the context of transition to DTG-based ART, this study spatiotemporally analysed detectable HIV viral loads (VLs) prior to- and following DTG rollout in public-sector healthcare facilities in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) province, the epicentre of th…

  • “The Covid-19 pandemic in BRICS

    Open AccessStephanie van Wyk, Monika Moir et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) are a group of developing countries with shared economic, healthcare, and scientific interests. These countries navigate multiple syndemics, and the COVID-19 pandemic placed severe strain on already burdened BRICS’ healthcare systems, hampering effective pandemic interventions. Genomic surveillance and molecular epidemiology remain indispensable tools for facilitating informed pandemic interv…

  • National and subnational governance and decision-making processes during the Covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria

    Open AccessSanjana Mukherjee, Sumegha Asthana et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Governance of the COVID-19 pandemic required decision-makers to make and implement decisions amidst uncertainty, public pressure and time constraints. However, few studies have attempted to assess these decision-making processes empirically during health emergencies. Thus, we aimed to understand governance, defined as the process of decision-making and implementation of decisions, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria. We conducted key informan…

  • Expanding global vaccine manufacturing capacity

    Open AccessSanjana Mukherjee, Kanika Kalra et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted significant gaps in equitable access to essential medical countermeasures such as vaccines. Manufacturing capacity for pandemic vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics is concentrated in too few countries. One of the major hurdles to equitable vaccine distribution was “vaccine nationalism”, countries hoarded vaccines to vaccinate their own populations first which significantly reduced global vaccine supply, leavi…

  • Epidemiologic Associations Vary Between Tetracycline and Fluoroquinolone Resistant Campylobacter jejuni Infections

    Open AccessJose A Rodrigues, Wonhee Cha et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis and antibiotic resistant C. jejuni are a serious threat to public health. Herein, we sought to evaluate trends in C. jejuni infections, quantify resistance frequencies, and identify epidemiological factors associated with infection. Campylobacter jejuni isolates ( n = 214) were collected from patients via an active surveillance system at four metropolitan hospitals in Michigan…
