  • African polyvalent antivenom can maintain pharmacological stability and ability to neutralise murine venom lethality for decades post-expiry

    Open AccessGabriela Solano, Sinead Cunningham et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    INTRODUCTION: Antivenom is a lifesaving medicine for treating snakebite envenoming, yet there has been a crisis in antivenom supply for many decades. Despite this, substantial quantities of antivenom stocks expire before use. This study has investigated whether expired antivenoms retain preclinical quality and efficacy, with the rationale that they could be used in emergency situations when in-date antivenom is unavailable. METHODS: Using WHO gui…

  • Improving care pathways for children with severe illness through implementation of the Aspire mHealth primary Etat package in Malawi

    Open AccessNicola Desmond, Marc Y R Henrion et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Providing emergency care in low resource settings relies on delivery by lower cadres of health workers (LCHW). We describe the development, implementation and mixed methods evaluation of a mobile health (mHealth) triage algorithm based on the WHO Emergency, Triage, Assessment, and Treatment (ETAT) for primary-level care. We conducted an observational study design of implementation research. Key stakeholders were engaged throughout implementation.…

  • Individual and population level costs and health-related quality of life outcomes of third-generation cephalosporin resistant bloodstream infection in Blantyre, Malawi

    Open AccessRebecca Lester, James Mango et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Data which accurately enumerate the economic costs of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in low- and middle- income countries are essential. This study aimed to quantify the impact of third-generation cephalosporin resistant (3GC-R) bloodstream infection (BSI) on economic and health related quality of life outcomes for adult patients in Blantyre, Malawi. Participants were recruited from a prospective, longitudinal cohort study of hospitalised patient…

  • The impact of Covid-19 and strategies for mitigation and suppression in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessPatrick G T Walker, Charles Whittaker et al.ARTICLEScience2020

    Global prospects for COVID-19 control Lower-income countries have recognized the potential impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from observing ongoing epidemics. Many have intervened quickly and early with measures to slow viral transmission, which may partly explain the low rates observed so far in these countries. Walker et al. calibrated a global model with country-specific data (see the Perspective by Metcalf et al. ). Despite the po…

  • Sex, power, marginalisation and HIV amongst young fishermen in Malawi

    Open AccessEleanor E Macpherson, Maxwell Phiri et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2020Citada por: 1Referencias: 38

    Through scale-up of effective treatment and prevention, HIV incidence rates are falling across Southern and Eastern Africa. However, key population groups, including people living in fishing communities, continue to face an elevated risk of infection and have high rates of undiagnosed disease. We set out to investigate how intersecting inequalities make young fishermen working on the southern shores of Lake Malawi particularly vulnerable to HIV-i…

  • Measuring sexual behaviour in Malawi

    Open AccessNicola Desmond, Nico Nagelkerke et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Diaries may therefore have higher validity for sensitive behaviour reporting and thus be the preferred method in similar African contexts in measuring sexual behaviours

  • Exploring the complexity of microfinance and HIV in fishing communities on the shores of Lake Malawi

    Open AccessEleanor E Macpherson, Eleanor Macpherson et al.ARTICLEReview of African Political Economy2015Citada por: 3Referencias: 5

    This study utilised qualitative research methodology to explore female fish traders’ experiences of accessing microfinance in fishing communities in southern Malawi. Microfinance is a tool that has been used to alleviate poverty. People living in fishing communities in the Global South are at an increased risk of HIV and, equally, microfinance has been identified as a tool to prevent HIV. The authors' research found consistent testimonies of over…

  • Evidence of improving antiretroviral therapy treatment delays

    Open AccessDerek J Sloan, Joep J van Oosterhout et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    Continued improvements in treatment delays provide evidence that universal access to ART can be achieved using the public health approach adopted by Malawi However, the longer delays for women and patients diagnosed at outlying sites emphasises the need for targeted interventions to support equitable access for these groups

  • A qualitative exploration of the human resource policy implications of voluntary counselling and testing scale-up in Kenya

    Open AccessMiriam Taegtmeyer, Tim Martineau et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    The introduction and scale up of new health service initiatives such as HIV voluntary counselling and testing necessitates changes to existing health systems and modification of entrenched interests around professional counselling and laboratory testing. Our methodological approach enabled exploration of complexities of scale up of HIV testing and counselling in Kenya. We argue that a better understanding of the diverse actors, the context and th…

  • Promoting vulnerability or resilience to HIV? A qualitative study on polygamy in Maiduguri, Nigeria

    Abdullahi Saddiq, Rachel Tolhurst et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    Literature on the links between polygamy and HIV and AIDS is limited and the findings inconclusive. Literature to date in Sub-Saharan Africa has relied mainly on case-control studies and surveys. This qualitative study aimed to explore different community members' perceptions of the links between the practice of polygamy and vulnerability or resilience to HIV and AIDS in Maiduguri, north-eastern Nigeria. The study used focus group discussions and…

  • Unplanned antiretroviral treatment interruptions in southern Africa

    Open AccessNina Veenstra, Alan Whiteside et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2010

    Adherence to antiretroviral therapy is essential for maximising individual treatment outcomes and preventing the development of drug resistance. It is, however, frequently compromised due to predictable, but adverse, scenarios in the countries most severely affected by HIV/AIDS. This paper looks at lessons from three specific crises in southern Africa: the 2008 floods in Mozambique, the ongoing political and economic crisis in Zimbabwe, and the 2…
