  • Impact of travel time to health facilities on perinatal outcomes

    Open AccessSanam Roder-DeWan, Marwa Ramadan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2026

    Background: Evidence-based global guidance on safe travel time for small or sick newborns who require transfer to health facilities after birth is lacking. A two-hour threshold is frequently cited in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), while 30 minutes is commonly used in high-income countries (HICs). Although these thresholds are widely referenced, their empirical basis and consistency across levels of newborn care and journey types have n…

  • Geospatial mapping of timely access to inpatient neonatal care and its relationship to neonatal mortality in Kenya

    Open AccessPaul Ouma, Lucas Malla et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Globally, 2.4 million newborns die in the first month of life, with neonatal mortality rates (NMR) per 1,000 livebirths being highest in sub-Saharan Africa. Improving access to inpatient newborn care is necessary for reduction of neonatal deaths in the region. We explore the relationship between distance to inpatient hospital newborn care and neonatal mortality in Kenya. Data on service availability from numerous sources were used to map hospital…

  • Spatial access inequities and childhood immunisation uptake in Kenya

    Open AccessNoel K Joseph, Peter M Macharia et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    Travel time to immunising health facilities is a barrier to uptake of childhood vaccines in regions with suboptimal accessibility (> 2-h). Strategies that address access barriers in the hardest to reach communities are needed to enhance equitable access to immunisation services in Kenya

  • Access to emergency hospital care provided by the public sector in sub-Saharan Africa in 2015

    Open AccessPaul Ouma, Paul O Ouma et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2018

    Background Timely access to emergency care can substantially reduce mortality. International benchmarks for access to emergency hospital care have been established to guide ambitions for universal health care by 2030. However, no Pan-African database of where hospitals are located exists; therefore, we aimed to complete a geocoded inventory of hospital services in Africa in relation to how populations might access these services in 2015, with foc…

  • Coverage of routine reporting on malaria parasitological testing in Kenya, 2015–2016

    Open AccessJoseph K Maina, Peter M Macharia et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2017

    BACKGROUND: Following the launch of District Health Information System 2 across facilities in Kenya, more health facilities are now capable of carrying out malaria parasitological testing and reporting data as part of routine health information systems, improving the potential value of routine data for accurate and timely tracking of rapidly changing disease epidemiology at fine spatial resolutions. OBJECTIVES: This study evaluates the current co…
