  • Rapid bacterial identification and resistance detection using a low complexity molecular diagnostic platform in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessTinashe Mwaturura, Ioana D Olaru et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a major cause of mortality in low-resource settings. Effective microbiological culture services are a bottleneck in diagnosis and surveillance. AIM: We aimed to evaluate the performance of the BIOFIRE FILMARRAY Blood Culture Identification 2 (BCID2, bioMérieux) assay in a low-resource setting laboratory in comparison to standard practice. METHODS: This five month prospective validation study included all positive blood cultu…

  • “Getting pregnant during Covid-19 was a big risk because getting help from the clinic was not easy”

    Open AccessZ Mupambireyi, Frances M Cowan et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The COVID-19 pandemic and associated measures may have disrupted delivery of maternal and neonatal health services and reversed the progress made towards dual elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis in Zimbabwe. This qualitative study explores the impact of the pandemic on the provision and uptake of prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services from the perspectives of women and maternal healthcare providers…

  • Caring for children with SAM

    Open AccessTim Brown, Kusum Datta et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2024

    This paper draws from qualitative research undertaken with the mothers and primary caregivers of children aged under 5 years old and in recovery from severe acute malnutrition (SAM), as well as other community members, across three study sites in Kenya, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The paper highlights how nutrition-related stigma is constructed and enacted in complex ways, by multiple actors and across diverse settings. Adopting an intersectional appro…

  • Child play and caregiver support to promote convalescence following severe acute malnutrition in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessJacqueline Kabongo, Louisa Mudawarima et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2024

    Children hospitalised for severe acute malnutrition (SAM) have a high risk of mortality, relapse and rehospitalisation following hospital discharge. Current approaches fail to promote convalescence, or to address the underlying social determinants of SAM, meaning that restoration of long-term health, growth and neurodevelopment is not achieved. Although guidelines recommend play and stimulation to promote recovery, most caregivers are not support…

  • Convalescing from SAM

    Open AccessTim Brown, Kusum Datta et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2024Referencias: 41

    It is widely recognised that children recovering from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM), remain vulnerable to risk of death following hospital discharge due to a wide range of biological and social factors. In light of this heightened risk, we report here on a qualitative study which aimed to better understand the caring contexts that children recovering from SAM were recuperating in within the high density urban and suburban districts of Harare, Z…

  • Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the provision and uptake of services for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessElizabeth Chappell, Anesu Chimwaza et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Zimbabwe is targeting elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV by December 2025, however the COVID-19 pandemic challenged health service delivery globally. Monthly aggregated data were extracted from DHIS-2 for all facilities delivering antenatal care (ANC). ZIMSTAT and Spectrum demographic estimates were used for population-level denominators. Programme indicators are among those in HIV care and population indicators reflect the total …

  • Recovery of children following hospitalisation for complicated severe acute malnutrition

    Open AccessMutsa Bwakura-Dangarembizi, Cherlynn Dumbura et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2021

    Nutritional recovery and hospital readmission following inpatient management of complicated severe acute malnutrition (SAM) are poorly characterised. We aimed to ascertain patterns and factors associated with hospital readmission, nutritional recovery and morbidity, in children discharged from hospital following management of complicated SAM in Zambia and Zimbabwe over 52-weeks posthospitalization. Multivariable Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard m…

  • Postdischarge interventions for children hospitalized with severe acute malnutrition

    Open AccessChristie CA Noble, Jonathan P Sturgeon et al.ARTICLE2021

  • “I don't feel shy because I will be among others who are just like me…”

    Open AccessZ Mupambireyi, Bernay et al.ARTICLEChildren and Youth Services Review2014

    As access to paediatric antiretroviral therapy (ART) continues to improve in sub-Saharan Africa, a new historically specific cohort of HIV-perinatally infected children surviving into adolescent has emerged. Although remarkable successes have been made clinically in keeping this cohort alive and in reasonable health, their social support experiences are still unknown. The research being reported here sought to explore peer social support experien…
