  • Multimorbidity and health-related quality of life after tuberculosis treatment in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessClaire Jacqueline Calderwood, Edson T Marambire et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Chronic conditions both drive development of and are consequences of tuberculosis (TB). While there is growing awareness of chronic lung disease, data on other health conditions post-TB are limited. In this cross-sectional study in Zimbabwe, we offered adults with pulmonary TB an integrated health check at or after treatment completion, assessing uptake and yield. Members of the same households were also offered the intervention. Selecting househ…

  • Understanding factors that impact patient access and engagement with biomedical and traditional care for hip fractures in The Gambia

    Open AccessAwa Touray, Rachael Gooberman‐hill et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Across Africa, the average age of the population is increasing, leading to a rise in health challenges such as hip fractures. Surgical fixation is the standard of care for hip fracture in older adults. In The Gambia, traditional bone setters (TBS) remain an important source of fracture care, though concerns exist regarding complications. In resource-constrained settings, system constraints may also result in post-operative complications. Currentl…

  • Traditional bone setter practices and the interaction with biomedical care in the treatment of hip fractures in The Gambia

    Open AccessAwa Touray, Kimberly Lakin et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    A growing ageing population in Africa underscores the need to reorient health systems to provide care for non-communicable conditions impacting older populations such as hip fractures. In The Gambia, the number of hip fractures are expected to quadruple for both men and women in the next 30 years. This is comparable to hip fracture incidence rates in other South and West African countries. Moreover, mortality rates post-hip fracture are 2–3 fold …

  • Measuring wealth for health research in rural and urban settings in three African countries

    Open AccessAnthony Muchai Manyara, Momodou Jallow et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2026

    Wealth indices enable socioeconomic status measurement: however, their reliability, validity and data collection and computation efficiency can be improved. This analysis aimed to generate four wealth indices in five geographical settings (rural and urban Gambia, rural and urban South Africa and urban Zimbabwe), to compare and validate these indices and formulate recommendations for wealth measurement in Africa. Population-based cross-sectional d…

  • Age- and sex-specific incidence rates and future projections for hip fractures in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessHannah Wilson, Tadios Manyanga et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    INTRODUCTION: Population ageing in Africa is increasing healthcare demands. Hip fractures require multidisciplinary care and are considered an indicator condition for age-related health services. We aimed to estimate current hip fracture incidence in Zimbabwe, compare rates against other regional estimates and estimate future fracture numbers. METHODS: All hip fracture cases in adults aged ≥40 years, presenting to any hospital in Harare over 2 ye…

  • Infectious diseases burden and antibiotic prescribing patterns among primary care patients in Harare, Zimbabwe – a cross-sectional analysis

    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…

  • Challenges to fracture service availability and readiness provided by allopathic and traditional health providers

    Open AccessAnya Burton, Tadios Manyanga et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2025

    Background: Populations in Africa are ageing, hence the number of age-related fragility fractures, including hip fractures, is rising. Hip fractures are an indicator condition for older adult health provision, as they require a multifaceted pathway of care. To enable health service planning, detailed national-level understanding of current fracture service provision is needed. Methods: The WHO Service Availability & Readiness Assessment survey wa…

  • 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…

  • Interdisciplinary perspectives on multimorbidity in Africa

    Open AccessJustin Dixon, Ben Morton et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Multimorbidity is an emerging challenge for health systems globally. It is commonly defined as the co-occurrence of two or more chronic conditions in one person, but its meaning remains a lively area of academic debate, and the utility of the concept beyond high-income settings is uncertain. This article presents the findings from an interdisciplinary research initiative that drew together 60 academic and applied partners working in 10 African co…

  • Methods for measuring body composition in Zambian adolescents living with HIV

    Open AccessSuzanne Filteau, Molly Chisenga et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Assessment of body composition can be useful in managing many clinical or public health conditions, including HIV. Most people living with HIV infection are in Africa where clinics may lack equipment, utilities or staff time for optimal body composition assessment. Thus, it is important to determine whether less expensive and more available and scalable methods can provide adequate information. We estimated body composition of 420 perinatally HIV…

  • 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 …

  • Prevalence of chronic conditions and multimorbidity among healthcare workers in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessClaire Jacqueline Calderwood, Edson Marambire et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in southern Africa is expanding and is superimposed on high HIV prevalence. Healthcare workers are a scarce resource; yet are vital to health systems. There are very limited studies on the burden of chronic conditions among healthcare workers in Africa, and none exploring multimorbidity (≥2 chronic conditions). We describe the epidemiology of infectious (HIV) and non-communicable chronic conditions, …

  • Improving Experiences of the Menopause for Women in Zimbabwe and South Africa

    Open AccessDrew, Keabetswe Khutsoane et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences2022Referencias: 2

    Women in sub-Saharan Africa report multiple impacts of menopause on daily life and have requested further information to support themselves. This study co-produced contextually relevant resources—booklets and poster—about menopause with women in Zimbabwe and South Africa. The study was conducted in four stages: interviews with women about the menopause; the development of prototype information resources; workshops with women to discuss country-sp…
