    Open AccessMentari Widiastuti, Sandra Olivia Frans et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    In 2023, Indonesia introduced an integrated primary health care (IPHC) model called Integrasi Pelayanan Kesehatan Primer (ILP) as part of the national primary care transformation agenda. ILP seeks to strengthen the network of public primary care providers across sub-district, village, and community levels with a five-cluster model organized around a life-cycle approach, replacing the previously fragmented, program-based model.

    Open AccessShashika Bandara, Jane K Fieldhouse et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Following the abrupt and significant funding cuts by the U.S. and increasing retreat by high-income countries from development aid for health, global health as a field requires reimagining and urgent solution building by all parties involved. In this essay, we aim to draw attention to an important and urgent challenge that deeply affects our collective future: the destruction of global health training opportunities and the weakening of future glo…

  • A framework for managing infectious diseases in rural areas in low- and middle-income countries in the face of climate change—East Africa as a case study

    Open AccessKatherine E L Worsley-Tonks, Shaleen Angwenyi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Climate change is having unprecedented impacts on human health, including increasing infectious disease risk. Despite this, health systems across the world are currently not prepared for novel disease scenarios anticipated with climate change. While the need for health systems to develop climate change adaptation strategies has been stressed in the past, there is no clear consensus on how this can be achieved, especially in rural areas in low- an…

  • From short-term engagements to meaningful and equitable global health partnerships

    Open AccessShailendra Prasad, Eunice Kamaara et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The struggle for global health equity is complex, often fueled by a desire for quick solutions. Though global health should be a broad, 'big-tent' endeavor, quite often it gets simplified to the immediacy of clinical medicine. Short-term global engagements in global health (STEGH), like medical missions and student trips, embody this impulse. These, like many other aspects of global health, have roots in the late 19 th century as a largely neocol…

  • Applying the Brocher Declaration to short-term experiences in global health in dental education

    Open AccessEdward Rosenbaum, Judith N Lasker et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2023

    Participating in Short-Term Experiences in Global Health (STEGHs) has become an increasingly popular way for dental students to learn about the global burden of disease and health inequalities by traveling to a low-income community. However, there is little information available in the dental education literature providing guidelines on best practices for STEGHs. Often little is known about the local dental practice laws and ethics guidelines. On…

  • Pioneering family physicians and the mechanisms for strengthening primary health care in India—A qualitative descriptive study

    Open AccessArchna Gupta, Ramakrishna Prasad et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    India has one of the most unequal healthcare systems globally, lagging behind its economic development. Improved primary care and primary health care play an integral role in overcoming health disparities. Family medicine is a subset of primary care—delivered by family physicians, characterized by comprehensive, continuous, coordinated, collaborative, personal, family and community-oriented services—and may be able to fill these gaps. This resear…

  • Community-orientated primary health care

    Open AccessHlologelo Malatji, Frances Griffiths et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Due to insufficient number of health workers and the evidence of the benefits of community health workers (CHWs), CHWs are being deployed to provide health care services to under-served communities. In this article, we explore to what extent the South African CHW programmes introduced between 2009 and 2011 are attuned to community needs, integrated into the healthcare system and community structures, and also implemented in accordance with commun…

  • Conflict, healthcare and professional perseverance

    Open AccessJuste Ongeh Niba, Stewart Ndutard Ngasa et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Armed conflicts are a major contributor to global disease burden owing to their deleterious effects on health and healthcare delivery. The Anglophone crisis in Cameroon is one of the ongoing conflicts in Sub-Saharan Africa and has led to massive displacement of healthcare workers (HCWs). However, some HCWs have stayed back and continued working. An understanding of their experiences, perspectives and professional perseverance is lacking. We desig…

  • The Momentum study

    Open AccessNicholas R DesLauriers, Evance Ogola et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2020

    Despite worldwide improvements in maternal and infant mortality, mothers and babies in remote, low-resource communities remain disproportionately vulnerable to adverse health outcomes. In these settings, delays in accessing emergency care are a major driver of poor outcomes. The 'Three Delays' model is now widely utilised to conceptualise these delays. However, in out-of-hospital contexts, operational and methodological constraints present major …

  • Rural‐Urban Differences in Medicare Quality Scores Persist After Adjusting for Sociodemographic and Environmental Characteristics

    Open AccessCarrie Henning‐smith, Shailendra Prasad et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Rural Health2019

    PURPOSE: Quality scores are strongly influenced by sociodemographic characteristics and health behaviors, many of which lie outside of the clinician's control. As a result, there is vigorous debate about whether, and how, to risk-adjust quality measures. Yet, rurality has been largely missing from this debate, even though population and environmental characteristics are demonstrably different by rurality. We addressed this gap by examining the in…

  • How the Social Contract Can Frame International Electives

    Open AccessShailendra Prasad, Fatima Alwan et al.ARTICLEThe AMA Journal of Ethic2019

    Short-term experiences in global health (STEGHs) are common ways trainees engage in global health activities, which can be viewed by students as either altruistic or opportunistic. This article explores how STEGHs express the social contract medicine has with society, emphasizes areas of breakdown in this social contract, and calls for medical schools, licensure boards, STEGH-sponsoring organizations, and professional societies to take active rol…

  • Rethinking our Rigor Mortis

    Open AccessCharles R Salmen, Richard Magerenge et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2019

    As global health researchers, we have long embraced the conviction that the answers to complex problems of poverty and disease will reveal themselves if only we apply enough scientific rigor. Yet, at the community level, our group of American and Kenyan investigators has begun to question whether our veneration of rigor is itself contributing to the intractability of certain types of global health problems. Here, we illustrate examples from our e…
