  • Molecular and seroepidemiology of Sars-CoV-2 among influenza-like illness and severe Acute respiratory illness cases in selected health facilities in Ethiopia

    Open AccessAdamu Tayachew, Dawit Assefa Arimide et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026

    Background SARS-CoV-2 remains globally circulating, yet post-pandemic comprehensive molecular, serological, and population-level immunity data from low-resource settings such as Ethiopia are limited. This study employed genomic surveillance with seroepidemiological assessment to characterize the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 among individuals presenting with influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) between May 2023 …

  • Potential Impact of Large‐Scale Food Fortification in Ethiopia

    Open AccessAregash Samuel, Ramadhani Noor et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2025

    Large-scale food fortification (LSFF) is an effective public health measure because it may reach a large number of populations at risk using current food delivery systems. The objective of the study was to assess coverage and consumption of fortifiable foods at the household level and to assess the potential impact of LSFF on child outcomes (stunting and survival) in Ethiopia. Cross-sectional survey data on sociodemographic characteristics, dieta…

  • Piloting Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation Within the Routine Antenatal Care System in Ethiopia

    Open AccessAnene Tesfa, Atkure Defar et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2025

    In low and middle-income countries, addressing maternal and child nutrition needs is crucial. Prenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) holds promise in reducing low birthweight and preterm births. Ethiopia is considering a transition from the provision of iron-folate supplementation to the provision of MMS in antenatal care, guided by WHO guidelines. This paper explores stakeholders' early perceptions and experiences in piloting that…

  • Co‐Coverage of Essential Interventions Across the Health System Continuum of Care for Improving Child Nutrition in Ethiopia

    Open AccessAlemnesh Petros, Meron Girma et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2025

    This study aimed to assess the coverage of essential nutrition interventions delivered through the health system and explored the relationship between co-coverage and child- and maternal-level factors, household-level factors, and access to healthcare facilities. We used data from the Ethiopia Food and Nutrition Strategy Baseline Survey, a population-based cross-sectional study conducted between July 2021 and October 2022. The survey was conducte…

  • Unveiling Disparities and Missed Opportunities in Vitamin A Supplementation Among Children Under Five in Ethiopia

    Open AccessTsedey Moges, Meron Girma et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2025

    Vitamin A supplementation (VAS) is an effective and low-cost strategy for improving vitamin A status and reducing childhood morbidity and mortality. Ethiopia started nationwide biannual VAS in 2006, but routine VAS coverage consistently remained low, necessitating the use of multiple delivery approaches. This study aimed to determine coverage, existing disparities, and missed opportunities for VAS among children under 5 years of age in Ethiopia. …

  • Longitudinal wastewater-based surveillance of Sars-CoV-2 during 2023 in Ethiopia

    Open AccessDaniel Abera Dinssa, Gebremedhin Gebremicael et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction: Although wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) successfully functioned as a tool for monitoring the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic globally, relatively little is known about its utility in low-income countries. This study aimed to quantify severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA in wastewater, estimate the number of infected individuals in the catchment areas, and correlate the results with the c…

  • Estimating immunization coverage at the district level

    Open AccessLatera Tesfaye, Tom Forzy et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Ethiopia has made significant progress in the last two decades in improving the availability and coverage of essential maternal and child health services including childhood immunizations. As Ethiopia keeps momentum towards achieving national immunization goals, methods must be developed to analyze routinely collected health facility data and generate localized coverage estimates. This study leverages the District Health Information Software (DHI…

  • Prevalence of syphilis and associated factors among female sex workers in Ethiopia

    Open AccessJaleta Bulti Tura, Jemal Ayalew et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    The prevalence of syphilis among female sex workers was high. Being divorced/widowed or in the older age group and having a low level of education were significantly associated with an increased risk of syphilis. The high prevalence and associated factors identified need to be considered in planning comprehensive interventions to control syphilis among female sex workers in Ethiopia
