• Increasing health system synergies in low-income settings

  Open Access•Martin Rudasingwa, Andreas Jahn et al.•ARTICLE•Global Public Health•2022

  Añadir item

  Building synergies is seen as an effective strategy to address and decrease existing fragmentation in health systems of low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). To that end, different programmes, such as the Sector Wide Approach, have been adopted to increase health system synergies. Despite these efforts, fragmentation remains an enduring problem, hampering health system performance in LMICs. This study is part of the Lancet Commission on synerg…

• Field evaluation of specificity and sensitivity of a standard Sars-CoV-2 antigen rapid diagnostic test

  Open Access•Alhassan Abdul-Mumin, Abdulai Abubakari et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2021

  Añadir item

  The testing capacity for SARS-CoV-2 in Africa is rather limited. Antigen detection rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) are a cheap and rapid alternative to reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests, but there is little data about their performance under real life conditions in tropical countries. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of a standard Ag-RDT in a population of a major hospital in northern Ghana.…
