Comment for conflict and health don't let sexual and reproductive health in humanitarian and fragile settings become a casualty of aid cuts and crisis fatigue
In 2025, 300 million people require humanitarian assistance, with sexual and reproductive health (SRH) crises driving 60% of preventable maternal deaths in conflict-affected countries. Despite the proven life-saving impact of the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for SRH in Crisis Situations, official development assistance for SRH declined by 27% between 2022 and 2023, threatening implementation in fragile settings. Analysis of MISP Readine…
Unpacking the Vietnamese Educational Paradox
Vietnam consistently achieves high scores in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) despite its low gross domestic product, presenting a paradox of academic excellence without the corresponding national development. This study explores the underlying cultural and structural factors shaping this phenomenon. Using a transdisciplinary approach that integrates pedagogy…
Predictors of mortality among inpatients in Covid-19 treatment centers in the city of Butembo, North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo
Determining the risk factors for severe disease and death among hospitalized Covid-19 patients is critical to optimize health outcomes and health services efficiency, especially in resource-constrained and humanitarian settings. This study aimed to identify the predictors of mortality of Covid-19 patients in North Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of Congo.A retrospective cohort study was conducted in 6 Covid-19 treatment centers in the ci…
How to use heat-stable carbetocin and tranexamic acid for the prevention and treatment of postpartum haemorrhage in low-resource settings
Implementing Heat-Stable Carbetocin for Postpartum Haemorrhage Prevention in Low-Resource Settings
Heat-stable carbetocin (HSC), a long-acting oxytocin analogue that does not require cold-chain transportation and storage, is effective in preventing postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) in vaginal and caesarean deliveries in tertiary-care settings. We aimed to identify literature documenting how it is implemented in resource-limited and lower-level maternity care settings to inform policies and practices that enable its introduction in these contexts. A…
Determinants of Survival of HIV Patients Receiving Dolutegravir
This study aims to determine the factors influencing HIV-related mortality in settings experiencing continuous armed conflict atrocities. In such settings, people living with HIV (PLHIV), and the partners of those affected may encounter specific difficulties regarding adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), and retention in HIV prevention, treatment, and care programs. Between July 2019 and July 2021, we conducted an observational prospective …
Tranexamic Acid for Postpartum Hemorrhage Treatment in Low-Resource Settings
Tranexamic acid (TXA) effectively reduces bleeding in women with postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in hospital settings. To guide policies and practices, this rapid scoping review undertaken by two reviewers aimed to examine how TXA is utilized in lower-level maternity care settings in low-resource settings. Articles were searched in EMBASE, MEDLINE, Emcare, the Maternity and Infant Care Database, the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Practice Dat…
A call to safeguard sexual and reproductive health information and services during Ebola outbreaks
The recent Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreaks in 2021 exemplify how sexual and reproductive health services are too often considered unessential during health emergencies. Bleeding for reasons other than EVD, such as pregnancy complications or rape, can be construed as EVD symptoms, reinforcing fear and stigmatisation, and delaying timely access to adequate care. In this commentary, we urgently call on all humanitarian actors to integrate the Mi…
Strengthening healthcare providers’ capacity for safe abortion and post-abortion care services in humanitarian settings
When the lack of skilled human resources is a barrier to lifesaving uterine evacuation services in humanitarian settings, the S-CORT strategy could offer a rapid hands-on refresher training opportunity for service providers needing an update in knowledge and skills. Such a capacity-building approach could be useful in humanitarian and fragile settings as well as in development settings with limited resources as part of an overall effort to streng…
Sexual and reproductive health self-care in humanitarian and fragile settings
Recent crises have accelerated global interest in self-care interventions. This debate paper aims to raise the issue of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) self-care and invites members of the global community operating in crisis-affected settings to look at potential avenues in mainstreaming SRH self-care interventions. We start by exploring self-care interventions that could align with well-established humanitarian standards, such as the Minim…
Psychological Distress and Well-Being among Students of Health Disciplines
Academic satisfaction strongly predicts depression, anxiety, stress, and psychological well-being. Training institutions should address the underlying factors that can improve students' satisfaction with their studies while ensuring that they have access to psychosocial services that help them cope with mental distress and enhance their psychological well-being
Heterogeneity of Modern Contraceptive Use among Urban Slum and Nonslum Women in Kinshasa, DR Congo
Urban populations have been increasing at an alarming rate, with faster growth in urban slums than that in nonslums over the past few decades. We examine the association between slum residence and the prevalence of contraceptive use among women of reproductive age, and assess if the effect was modified by household wealth. We conducted cross-sectional analysis comprising 1932 women in slums and 632 women in nonslums. We analyzed the moderating ef…
Yam Daabo interventions’ effects on postpartum family planning use in Burkina Faso at 24 months after childbirth

Gendered implications of the Covid-19 pandemic for policies and programmes in humanitarian settings
Although preliminary analysis indicates that COVID-19 poses the highest risk to men, the elderly, and those with comorbidities, available research on the gendered implications of past public health emergencies-such as that from the 2014-2016 West Africa Ebola outbreak-demonstrates that women and girls are disproportionately affected, particularly those who live in ongoing humanitarian crises. Our experience in previous humanitarian and public hea…
A call to protect patients, correctional staff and healthcare professionals in jails and prisons during the Covid-19 pandemic
This editorial describes why surge planning in the community must account for potential infection outbreaks in jails and prisons, and why incarcerated people and those in contact with them, including over 450,000 correctional officers and thousands of healthcare staff working in prisons, are at significant risk of COVID-19 exposure. We then explain how our nation’s jails and prisons will continue to serve as breeding grounds for devastating COVID…
Integrating sexual and reproductive health into health system strengthening in humanitarian settings
Collaborative design and piloting efforts resulted in a workshop toolkit that could support a systematic and efficient identification of priority activities and services related to comprehensive SRH. Such priorities could help meet the SRH needs of communities emerging from acute humanitarian situations while strengthening the overall health system
Hepatitis B prevalence, risk factors, infection awareness and disease knowledge among inmates
BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major health concern in prison, but data are scarce in European prisons. This study aims to measure the prevalence of HBV infection, risk factors, awareness about infection, and HBV knowledge among inmates in Switzerland's largest pre-trial prison. METHODS: Serological blood tests (HBsAg, anti-HBs, and anti-HBc) and a standardized socio-demographic and sexual health survey were offered to consenting prison…
Words matter
BACKGROUND: Words matter when describing people involved in the criminal justice system because language can have a significant impact upon health, wellbeing, and access to health information and services. However, terminology used in policies, programs, and research publications is often derogatory, stigmatizing, and dehumanizing. DISCUSSION: In response, health experts from Europe, the United States, and Australia recommend that healthcare prof…
Association of Overcrowding and Turnover with Self-Harm in a Swiss Pre-Trial Prison
Self-harm is a common issue in detention and includes both suicidal and non-suicidal behaviours. Beyond well-known individual risk factors, institutional factors such as overcrowding (i.e., when the prison population exceeds its capacity) and turnover (i.e., the rate at which the prison population is renewed), may also increase the risk of self-harm. However, these factors are understudied or previous studies reported inconsistent findings. This …
Clinical outreach refresher trainings in crisis settings (S-Cort)
During the early humanitarian response to a crisis, there is limited time to train health providers in the life-saving clinical services of the Minimum Initial Services Package (MISP) for Reproductive Health. The Training Partnership Initiative of the Inter-agency Working Group on Reproductive Health in Crises developed the S-CORT model (Sexual and reproductive health Clinical Outreach Refresher Training) for service providers operating in acute …
