  • Addressing gaps in AMR awareness in the public

    Open AccessJP Waswa, Reuben Kiggundu et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    The government of Uganda, through its Ministry of Health, previously adopted curriculum review as a mechanism to respond to public health threats such as HIV/AIDS and include content in primary and secondary schools. This approach contributes to raising public awareness, a key strategy recommended by the World Health Organization to support the global response to the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This policy brief, developed for polic…

  • Improving access to health services through health reform in Lesotho

    Open AccessMelino Ndayizigiye, Lao-Tzu Allan-Blitz et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    In 2014 the Kingdom of Lesotho, in conjunction with Partners In Health, launched a National Health Reform with three components: 1) improved supply-side inputs based on disease burden in the catchment area of each of 70 public primary care clinics, 2) decentralization of health managerial capacity to the district level, and 3) demand-side interventions including paid village health workers. We assessed changes in the quarterly average of quality …

  • Strengthening data collection and use for quality improvement in primary care

    Open AccessMadeline Pesec, Lauren Spigel et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021

    Costa Rica is a bright spot of primary healthcare (PHC) performance, providing first-contact accessibility and continuous, comprehensive, coordinated, and patient-centered care to its citizens. Previous research hypothesized that strong data collection and use for quality improvement are central to Costa Rica’s success. Using qualitative data from 40 interviews with stakeholders across the Costa Rican healthcare system, this paper maps the variou…

  • Implementing sustainable primary healthcare reforms

    Open AccessLauren Spigel, Madeline Pesec et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    As the world strives to achieve universal health coverage by 2030, countries must build robust healthcare systems founded on strong primary healthcare (PHC). In order to strengthen PHC, country governments need actionable guidance about how to implement health reform. Costa Rica is an example of a country that has taken concrete steps towards successfully improving PHC over the last two decades. In the 1990s, Costa Rica implemented three key refo…

  • Power, potential, and pitfalls in global health academic partnerships

    Open AccessDavid Citrin, Stephen Mehanni et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2017

    BACKGROUND: Global health academic partnerships are centered around a core tension: they often mirror or reproduce the very cross-national inequities they seek to alleviate. On the one hand, they risk worsening power dynamics that perpetuate health disparities; on the other, they form an essential response to the need for healthcare resources to reach marginalized populations across the globe. OBJECTIVES: This study characterizes the broader land…

  • Spice

    Open AccessDaniel Palazuelos, Kyla Ellis et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2013

    INTRODUCTION: Despite decades of experience with community health workers (CHWs) in a wide variety of global health projects, there is no established conceptual framework that structures how implementers and researchers can understand, study and improve their respective programs based on lessons learned by other CHW programs. OBJECTIVE: To apply an original, non-linear framework and case study method, 5-SPICE, to multiple sister projects of a lar…

  • Crossing the quality chasm in resource-limited settings

    Open AccessDuncan Maru, Jason R Andrews et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2012

    Over the last decade, extensive scientific and policy innovations have begun to reduce the "quality chasm"--the gulf between best practices and actual implementation that exists in resource-rich medical settings. While limited data exist, this chasm is likely to be equally acute and deadly in resource-limited areas. While health systems have begun to be scaled up in impoverished areas, scale-up is just the foundation necessary to deliver effectiv…

  • Highly active anti-retroviral therapy in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in rural Zimbabwe during the socio-economic crisis

    Paul Thistle, Shelly Bolotin et al.ARTICLEMedicine Conflict & Survival2011

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in preventing mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV in breastfeeding women in rural Zimbabwe. During a severe socio-economic crisis in 2005-2007, 82 eligible HIV-positive pregnant women between 14-36 weeks gestation were initiated on HAART with AZT/3TC/nelfinavir combination therapy at a rural hospital and continued through to six mont…
