    Open AccessIoana D Olaru, Rudo MS Chingono et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) continue to experience a high burden of infectious diseases and disparities in access to and use of antimicrobials, yet data on antibiotic prescribing in outpatient settings, where the majority of global prescriptions occur, remain scarce. The objective of this study is to provide data on diagnoses and antibiotic prescriptions among primary care patients in Harare, Zimbabwe. We conducted a retrospective stu…

  • Hospital referral patterns amongst older adults in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessJack L Stanley, David Hettle et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2025

    Over the coming decades Africa is projected to undergo a significant demographic shift towards an older population. Healthcare provision for older adults is made more complex by age-related multimorbidity and frailty, which contribute to older adults more frequently requiring intensive, hospital-based treatment than those in younger age groups. We investigate age and sex-stratified, diagnosis-specific hospital referral patterns in Harare, Zimbabw…

    Open AccessPatricia M Waterous, Rudo MS Chingono et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Introduction Globally adolescents and young adults (AYA) with tuberculosis (TB) face unique challenges. Until recently they have received little attention and few tailored interventions exist. To improve TB outcomes in this population, there is a need to implement tailored interventions. However, limited research has been conducted about how to meet the needs of AYA with tuberculosis. In this paper we present the findings of a qualitative study t…

  • Evaluation of a comprehensive health check offered to frontline health workers in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessEdson Marambire, Rudo MS Chingono et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Health workers are essential for a functioning healthcare system, and their own health is often not addressed. During the COVID-19 pandemic health workers were at high risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection whilst coping with increased healthcare demand. Here we report the development, implementation, and uptake of an integrated health check combining SARS-CoV-2 testing with screening for other communicable and non-communicable diseases for health workers …

    Open AccessTinotenda Taruvinga, Rudo MS Chingono et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    With COVID-19 no longer categorized as a public health emergency of international concern, vaccination strategies and priority groups for vaccination have evolved. Africa Centres for Diseases Prevention and Control proposed the ‘100-100-70%’ strategy which aims to vaccinate all healthcare workers, all vulnerable groups, and 70% of the general population. Understanding whether healthcare workers were reached during previous vaccination campaigns a…

    Grace Mchugh, Victoria Simms et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

    Increasing numbers of children with HIV are surviving to adolescence and beyond, many of whom are orphaned. Disclosure of childrens' and adolescents' HIV status has been shown to improve adherence and retention in HIV treatment programmes. We investigated caregiving arrangements and intra-familial experience of HIV and its relationship to HIV disclosure to older children and adolescents. Children aged 6-15 years, newly diagnosed with HIV infectio…

  • The role of community health workers in improving HIV treatment outcomes in children

    Open AccessJoanna Busza, Ethel Dauya et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2018Citada por: 1Referencias: 25

    Reliance on community health workers (CHWs) for HIV care continues to increase, particularly in resource-limited settings. CHWs can improve HIV service use and adherence to treatment, but effectiveness of these programmes relies on providing an enabling work environment for CHWs, including reasonable workload, supportive supervision and adequate training and supplies. Although criteria for effective CHW programmes have been identified, these have…
