  • Gender equity in health research publishing in Africa

    Open AccessAnwaar Baobeid, Tara Faghani-Hamadani et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    INTRODUCTION: Women researchers find it more difficult to publish in academic journals than men, an inequity that affects women's careers and was exacerbated during the pandemic, particularly for women in low-income and middle-income countries. We measured publishing by sub-Saharan African (SSA) women in prestigious authorship positions (first or last author, or single author) during the time frame 2014-2016. We also examined policies and practic…

  • MHealth-community health worker telemedicine intervention for surgical site infection diagnosis

    Open AccessTheoneste Nkurunziza, Wendy R Williams et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    BACKGROUND: Surgical site infections (SSIs) cause a significant global public health burden in low and middle-income countries. Most SSIs develop after patient discharge and may go undetected. We assessed the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of an mHealth-community health worker (CHW) home-based telemedicine intervention to diagnose SSIs in women who delivered via caesarean section in rural Rwanda. METHODS: This prospective cohort study includ…

  • One hundred thirty-three observed Covid-19 deaths in 10 months

    Open AccessClarisse Musanabaganwa, Vincent K Cubaka et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    The African region was predicted to have worse COVID-19 infection and death rates due to challenging health systems and social determinants of health. However, in the 10 months after its first case, Rwanda recorded 10316 cases and 133 COVID-19-related deaths translating to a case fatality rate (CFR) of 1.3%, which raised the question: why does Rwanda have a low COVID-19 CFR? Here we analysed COVID-19 data and explored possible explanations to bet…

  • Health Facility Cost of Cesarean Delivery at a Rural District Hospital in Rwanda Using Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing

    Open AccessJackline A Odhiambo, John Ruhumuriza et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Health Journal2019

  • Adapting operational research training to the Rwandan context

    Open AccessJackline A Odhiambo, Jackline Odhiambo et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2017

    BACKGROUND: Promoting national health research agendas in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) requires adequate numbers of individuals with skills to initiate and conduct research. Recently, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have joined research capacity building efforts to increase research leadership by LMIC nationals. Partners In Health, an international NGO operating in Rwanda, implemented its first Intermediate Operational Research …

  • Assessing the twinning model in the Rwandan Human Resources for Health Program

    Open AccessEsperance Ndenga, G Uwizeye et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Because of the shortage of health professionals, particularly in specialty areas, Rwanda initiated the Human Resources for Health (HRH) Program. In this program, faculty from United States teaching institutions (USF) "twin" with Rwandan Faculty (RF) to transfer skills. This paper assesses the twinning model, exploring USF and RF goal setting, satisfaction and perceptions of the effectiveness of skill transfer within the twinning model…

  • Rainfall variation and child health

    Open AccessAssumpta Mukabutera, Dana R Thomson et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    Our finding that children in households with unimproved toilets were less likely to report diarrhea during periods of high runoff highlights the vulnerabilities of those living without adequate sanitation to the negative health impacts of environmental events

  • Community-Based Accompaniment and the Impact of Distance for HIV Patients Newly Initiated on Antiretroviral Therapy

  • Risk factors for homicide victimization in post-genocide Rwanda

    Open AccessWilson Rubanzana, Joseph Ntaganira et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Homicide victims in Rwanda are relatively young and the proportion of female victims is one of the highest globally. Contrary to the initial study considerations, genocide exposure (either as a survivor or perpetrator) was not a significant predictor of homicide victimization. Rather, risk factors were similar to those described in other countries, regardless of gender status. Sensitizing communities against alcohol heavy drinking, and illicit br…

  • Exposure to genocide and risk of suicide in Rwanda

    Wilson Rubanzana, Bethany Hedt-Gauthier et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2015Citada por: 1Referencias: 17

    BACKGROUND: In Rwanda, an estimated one million people were killed during the 1994 genocide, leaving the country shattered and social fabric destroyed. Large-scale traumatic events such as wars and genocides have been linked to endemic post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and suicidality. The study objective was to investigate whether the 1994 genocide exposure is associated with suicide in Rwanda. METHODS: We conducted a population-based c…
