  • ‘What the herbal medicine can do for me in a week, the orthodox does in a year’

    Open AccessAmos Laar, Ernest Amoah Ampah et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2021

    BACKGROUND: There is strong evidence that anti-platelet therapy, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers and statins are cost-effective in reducing subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD). In some settings, only a low proportion of people have access to these medications, and even lower adhere to them. The current study explored and presents data on the causes of poor adherence to orthod…

  • Best practices in scaling digital health in low and middle income countries

    Open AccessAlain Labrique, Christina Wadhwani et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2018

    Healthcare challenges in low and middle income countries (LMICs) have been the focus of many digital initiatives that have aimed to improve both access to healthcare and the quality of healthcare delivery. Moving beyond the initial phase of piloting and experimentation, these initiatives are now more clearly focused on the need for effective scaling and integration to provide sustainable benefit to healthcare systems.Based on real-life case studi…

  • Evaluation of a community-based hypertension improvement program (ComHIP) in Ghana

    Open AccessPeter Lamptey, Amos Laar et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    The high burden of hypertension among the studied population, coupled with high awareness, yet very low level of hypertension treatment and control requires in-depth investigation of the bottlenecks to treatment and control. The low hypertension treatment and control rates despite current and previous general educational programs particularly in the intervention district, may suggest that such programs are not necessarily impactful on the health …

  • Addressing the growing burden of non–communicable disease by leveraging lessons from infectious disease management

    Open AccessPeter Piot, Aya Caldwell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2016

    In recent decades, low– and middle–income countries (LMICs) have achieved decreased morbidity and mortality associated with infectious diseases and poor maternal– and child–health (MCH). However, despite these advances, LMICs now face an additional burden with the inexorable rise of non–communicable diseases (NCDs). Deaths due to NCDs in LMICs are expected to increase from 30.8 million in 2015 to 41.8 million by 2030 [1]. While improvements in li…

  • Towards a comprehensive global approach to prevention and control of NCDs

    Open AccessMartin Mckee, Anna Haines et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2014

    BACKGROUND: The "25×25" strategy to tackle the global challenge of non-communicable diseases takes a traditional approach, concentrating on a few diseases and their immediate risk factors. DISCUSSION: We propose elements of a comprehensive strategy to address NCDs that takes account of the evolving social, economic, environmental and health care contexts, while developing mechanisms to respond effectively to local patterns of disease. Principles …

  • Physician Attitudes and Family Planning in Nigeria

    Deborah L Covington, E O Otolorin et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1986

    This study examines family planning attitudes and practices of 681 Nigerian physicians selected from cities in which large university teaching hospitals are located. About half of the physicians were practicing family planning; the method of choice was the IUD. Obstetrician/gynecologists and general practitioners were more likely to provide methods to their patients than were other types of physicians. The physicians were concerned about populati…

  • Abortion experience among obstetric patients at Korle-Bu Hospital, Accra, Ghana

    Open AccessPeter Lamptey, Barbara Janowitz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1985

    Among obstetric patients with at least one previous pregnancy, over 20% reported having at least one induced abortion. Abortion experience was more common among women at lower gravidities and among women with the highest levels of education, suggesting that abortion is most used to delay the first birth, particularly for young women still at school. This is in contrast to the situation in Latin America where abortion is used most often to limit f…

    Peter Lamptey, Barbara Janowitz et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1985

    PIP: Hospital admissions for complications of abortion have been increasing in Africa, indicating a rise in the incidence of abortion. In all pregnant women ever admitted to Korle-Bu hospital in Accra, Ghana, the chance that the outcome of their last pregnancy was an induced abortion decreased as the number of previous pregnancies increased. Women with higher levels of education were more likely to have their 1st pregnancy terminated in an induce…
