    Open AccessJudite Blanc, Candice A Sternberg et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Amid the dismantling of state structures in Haiti, the first Black republic faces significant health disparities compared to its former colonial power, France. These disparities include lower life expectancy (64.8 vs. 82.3 years) and higher infant and maternal mortality rates. The situation is further exacerbated by widespread mental health issues, severe food insecurity (50% acute vs. 37% moderate), and elevated homicide rates (13.35 vs. 1.35 pe…

  • Understanding the influence of power dynamics in intersectoral collaboration

    Open AccessPraveenkumar Aivalli, Brynne Gilmore et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Intersectoral Collaboration (ISC) involves multiple sectors working together to tackle complex challenges that no single sector can address alone. In global health, where interconnected issues demand holistic approaches, ISC aligns goals and resources to enhance effectiveness and equity. However, power dynamics within and between sectors can either foster synergy or create tensions, shaping ISC outcomes. This study explores how, why, for whom, in…
