Implementation research can enhance health research systems and reduce dependency on external aid
Implementation research is essential for moving research findings into everyday practice. It is intentionally geared towards local ownership and sustainability, and contributes to more effective health policies, improved service delivery, better resource allocation and strengthened health research systems. By engaging with non-specialist researchers who have in-depth understanding of the context in which interventions occur, implementation resear…
Prevention and management of anaemia in pregnancy
Anaemia is one of the most common conditions in low- and middle-income countries, with prevalence increasing during pregnancy. The highest burden is in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, where the prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy is 41.7% and 40%, respectively. Anaemia in pregnancy can lead to complications such as prematurity, low birthweight, spontaneous abortion, and foetal death, as well as increasing the likelihood and severity of postpart…
The pathway to health in all policies through intersectoral collaboration on the health workforce
The health workforce (HWF) is a critical component of the health sector. Intersectoral/multisectoral collaboration and action is foundational to strengthening the HWF, enabling responsiveness to dynamic population health demands and supporting broader goals around social and economic development—such development underpins the need for health in all policies (HiAP). To identify what can be learned from intersectoral/multisectoral activity for HWF …
How international research consortia can strengthen organisations’ research systems and promote a conducive environment and culture
Research systems and cultures have been criticised for their detrimental effect on members’ mental health and well-being. Many international research programmes operate through research consortia that have the resources to make a substantial contribution to improving the research environment in their member organisations. This paper collates real-life examples from several large international consortia-based research programmes about how they str…
‘You want to deal with power while riding on power’
INTRODUCTION: Power relations permeate research partnerships and compromise the ability of participatory research approaches to bring about transformational and sustainable change. This study aimed to explore how participatory health researchers engaged in co-production research perceive and experience 'power', and how it is discussed and addressed within the context of research partnerships. METHODS: Five online workshops were carried out with p…
Harnessing the health systems strengthening potential of quality improvement using realist evaluation
Quality improvement (QI) is a problem-solving approach in which stakeholders identify context-specific problems and create and implement strategies to address these. It is an approach that is increasingly used to support health system strengthening, which is widely promoted in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, few QI initiatives are sustained and implementation is poorly understood. Here, we propose realist evaluation to fill this gap, sharing an exam…
How people-centred health systems can reach the grassroots
BACKGROUND: Quality improvement (QI) methods engage stakeholders in identifying problems, creating strategies called change ideas to address those problems, testing those change ideas and scaling them up where successful. These methods have rarely been used at the community level in low-income country settings. Here we share experiences from rural Tanzania and Uganda, where QI was applied as part of the Expanded Quality Management Using Informati…
Facilitators and Barriers of Community-Level Quality Improvement for Maternal and Newborn Health in Tanzania
A quality improvement intervention for maternal and newborn health was carried out in southern Tanzania at the community level. It sought to improve health-seeking behaviors and uptake of community-level maternal and newborn health practices. A process evaluation populated using data primarily from in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with the intervention's implementers was undertaken in four villages receiving the intervention to eva…
