  • Leveraging current capacity to address the high prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis in South Africa

    Open AccessNkgomeleng A Lekodeba, Katherine Snyman et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    South Africa has high sexually transmitted infections (STIs) prevalence and currently implements syndromic management, which has limitations including untreated asymptomatic infections and excess antibiotic use. Diagnostic tools like GeneXpert may offer potential improvements. We evaluated potential costs and benefits of GeneXpert for STIs testing. We developed a static analytical model using existing data over a one-year time horizon (January-De…

  • A Smart Investment

    Open AccessKatherine Snyman, Noam Angrist et al.ARTICLEJournal of Benefit-Cost Analysis2026

    Malaria imposes societal costs beyond health, including substantial effects on education, yet economic evaluations often overlook these broader impacts. We conducted a cross-sectoral benefit–cost analysis (BCA) of malaria chemoprevention in school-aged children (SAC) across ten high-burden sub-Saharan African countries. Using recent trial data, we estimated impacts on malaria morbidity, mortality, school absenteeism and literacy. The intervention…

  • Evaluating the impact of two next-generation long-lasting insecticidal nets on malaria incidence in Uganda

    Open AccessA Epstein, Samuel Gonahasa et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    INTRODUCTION: Malaria remains a significant public health challenge globally, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where progress has stalled in recent years. Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are a critical preventive tool against malaria. This study investigated the effectiveness of newer-generation LLINs following a universal coverage campaign in Uganda. METHODS: Health facility data collected 36 months prior to LLIN distribution and 24 mo…

  • Who pays to treat malaria and how much? Analysis of the cost of illness, equity and economic burden of malaria in Uganda

    Open AccessKatherine Snyman, Cassady Pitt et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2025

    Case management of malaria in Africa has evolved markedly over the past 20 years and updated cost estimates are needed to guide malaria control policies. We estimated the cost of malaria illness to households and the public health service and assessed the equity of these costs in Uganda. From December 2021 to May 2022, we conducted a costing exercise in eight government-run health centres covering seven sub-regions, collecting health service cost…

  • Crises and complexity

    Open AccessZaruhi Mkrtchyan, Yolanda Moyo et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2025Referencias: 21

    The end of the COVID-19 global health emergency presents an opportunity to reflect on actions needed to enhance the effectiveness of responses to any future shocks. We highlight critical areas requiring attention from researchers and research commissioners to enhance the identification and adoption of ‘good value’ interventions, and we discuss the complexities of evidence-informed decision-making across multiple sectors, the evolving role of mode…
