    India's second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in April–June 2021 involved an explosion of case numbers, with devastating consequences for the country’s already strained health systems. This case study examines the private health market response to the pandemic in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state. We analyzed 203 news articles to understand both the experiences of private providers and patients in response to government policies being imp…

  • Geographical, sex, and socioeconomic differences in non-communicable disease indicators

    Open AccessGulam Muhammed Al Kibria, Ankita Meghani et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is increasing in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study examined differences in the burden of NCDs and their risk factors according to geographic, sex, and sociodemographic characteristics in a rural and peri-urban community in Eastern Uganda. We compared the prevalence by sex, location, wealth, and education. Unadjusted and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) were reported. Indica…

  • The epidemiology of behavioral risk factors for noncommunicable disease and hypertension

    Open AccessDustin G Gibson, Ankita Meghani et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    In light of the suboptimal noncommunicable disease (NCD) risk factor surveillance efforts, the study’s main objectives were to: (i) characterize the epidemiological profile of NCD risk factors; (ii) estimate the prevalence of hypertension; and (iii) identify factors associated with hypertension in a peri-urban and rural Ugandan population. A population-based cross-sectional survey of adults was conducted at the Iganga-Mayuge Health and Demographi…

  • Understanding reasons for and strategic responses to administrative health data misreporting in an Indian state

    Open AccessAnkita Meghani, Daniela C Rodríguez et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2023

    The misreporting of administrative health data creates an inequitable distribution of scarce health resources and weakens transparency and accountability within health systems. In the mid-2010s, an Indian state introduced a district ranking system to monitor the monthly performance of health programmes alongside a set of data quality initiatives. However, questions remain about the role of data manipulation in compromising the accuracy of data av…

    Open AccessAnkita Meghani, Shreya Hariyani et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    The COVID-19 pandemic has strained public health resources and overwhelmed health systems capacity of countries worldwide. In India, the private sector is a significant source of healthcare particularly in large states like Uttar Pradesh (UP). This study sought to examine: (i) the government’s approach to engaging the private health sector in the COVID-19 response in UP; (ii) the effects of government’s engagement on private providers’ practices …

  • Selfie consents, remote rapport, and Zoom debriefings

    Open AccessMark Donald C Reñosa, Clovis Mwamba et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    In-person interactions have traditionally been the gold standard for qualitative data collection. The COVID-19 pandemic required researchers to consider if remote data collection can meet research objectives, while retaining the same level of data quality and participant protections. We use four case studies from the Philippines, Zambia, India and Uganda to assess the challenges and opportunities of remote data collection during COVID-19. We pres…

  • Understanding the implications of the Sustainable Development Goals for health policy and systems research

    Open AccessSara Bennett, Nasreen Jessani et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2020

    BACKGROUND: Given the paradigmatic shift represented by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as compared to the Millennium Development Goals - in particular their broad and interconnected nature - a new set of health policy and systems research (HPSR) priorities are needed to inform strategies to address these interconnected goals. OBJECTIVES: To identify high priority HPSR questions linked to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Go…

    Open AccessMishal Khan, Mishal S Khan et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2018Citada por: 8Referencias: 36

    Although concerns have historically been raised about the influence of external donors on health policy process in recipient countries, remarkably few studies have investigated perspectives and experiences of domestic policymakers and advisers. This study examines donor influence at different stages of the health policy process (priority setting, policy formulation, policy implementation and monitoring and evaluation) in two aid-dependent LMICs, …
