    Introduction: Upon the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Public Health Laboratory Support Unit (ZIG4) at the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the German National Public Health Institute, developed and delivered an online training on SARS-CoV-2 qPCR diagnostics to 17 partner countries in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC).

  • Communicating risk during early phases of Covid-19

    Open AccessBrogan Geurts, Heide Weishaar et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background: Emergency risk communication (ERC) is key to achieving compliance with public health measures during pandemics. Yet, the factors that facilitated ERC during COVID-19 have not been analyzed. We compare ERC in the early stages of the pandemic across four socio-economic settings to identify how risk communication can be improved in public health emergencies (PHE). Methods: To map and assess the content, process, actors, and context of ER…

    Open AccessSameh Al-Awlaqi, Fekri Dureab et al.ARTICLEJournal of International…2022

    Yemen has been facing political, economic and social challenges since 1990. The fragility of Yemen’s situation has led to a widespread conflict in 2015, resulting in the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. Amid the humanitarian catastrophe and the collapsing health system, a platform for coordinating humanitarian health response, called the National Health Cluster, has expanded its operations across the country. The study aims to evaluate the pe…

  • Classification Schemes of Covid-19 High Risk Areas and Resulting Policies

    Open AccessOlalekan Abdulrahman Uthman, Olatunji O Adetokunboh et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a significant global health threat since January 2020. Policies to reduce human mobility have been recognized to effectively control the spread of COVID-19; although the relationship between mobility, policy implementation, and virus spread remains contentious, with no clear pattern for how countries classify each other, and determine the destinations to- and from which to restrict travel. In this rapid review, we …

  • A comparative analysis of experienced uncertainties in relation to risk communication during Covid19

    Open AccessFlorin Cristea, Heide Weishaar et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2022

    BACKGROUND: During outbreaks, uncertainties experienced by affected communities can influence their compliance to government guidance on public health. Communicators and authorities are, hence, encouraged to acknowledge and address such uncertainties. However, in the midst of public health crises, it can become difficult to define and identify uncertainties that are most relevant to address. We analyzed data on COVID-19-related uncertainties from…

  • Forms of Health System Fragmentation During Conflict

    Open AccessFekri Dureab, Taha Hussain et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    The continuous and protracted conflict in Yemen has evolved into the worst humanitarian situation in modern history. All public structures in the country, including the health system and its basic functions, have been under tremendous pressures. One of the key obstacles to improve the health outcomes in Yemen is fragmentation of the health system. This study aims at exploring and documenting the forms of health system fragmentation in humanitaria…

  • The Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessWillemien Van Damme, Ritwik Dahake et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    It is very exceptional that a new disease becomes a true pandemic. Since its emergence in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, has spread to nearly all countries of the world in only a few months. However, in different countries, the COVID-19 epidemic takes variable shapes and forms in how it affects communities. Until now, the insights gained on COVID-19 have be…
