Implementation of essential newborn care in settings of high-intensity armed conflict
INTRODUCTION: A disproportionate share of global neonatal deaths occurs in armed-conflict settings, where progress in reducing neonatal mortality remains slow. This systematic review aims to synthesise the literature on implementing essential newborn care (ENC) interventions in high-intensity armed conflict settings. METHODS: We searched PubMed, CINAHL, Embase and the grey literature from January 2014 to March 2024. Eligible original studies in E…
Multiyear, Multisectoral Training Program in Kenya to Enhance Medical–Legal Processes in Response to Sexual and Gender-Based Violence
Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) leads to severe sequelae for individuals and communities. Lack of cross-sector coordination inhibits effective medical-legal support and justice for survivors. Multisectoral trainings for health, legal, and law enforcement professionals on survivor-centered SGBV care were conducted in Kenya during 2012-2018. Evaluation utilized objective structured clinical examinations, standardized patients, knowledge ass…

Consequently, greater numbers of healthcare professionals and trainees from high-income countries (HICs) are working or volunteering abroad and participating in short-term experiences in low- and middle-income countries (…
Improving peace and well-being among Syrian refugee youth through a higher education initiative in Jordan
Forced migration affects overall health, especially when it happens at a young age. Focus group discussions and the Peace Evaluation Across Cultures and Environments (PEACE) survey were used to compare the effects of the programme on two groups: refugee university students who received full tuition support and a monthly living stipend (intervention group) and unsponsored Syrian students who were preparing for the end of high school examination (c…
Developing Equitable Primary Health Care in Conflict-Affected Settings
Health systems are frequently among the casualties of conflict. Within these settings, increased knowledge is needed on how to rebuild and strengthen health infrastructure resilience, such as primary health care (PHC) systems, in context-specific ways that promote health equity. Therefore, this study aimed to explore perspectives of experts with experience working on frontlines of social crises to contribute to understandings of pathways toward e…
Development of a scale to measure individuals’ ratings of peace
The PEACE scale may serve as a novel assessment tool in the health sector and be valuable in monitoring and evaluating the peace-building impact of health initiatives in conflict-affected regions
Limitations of the Millennium Development Goals
Impact of sexual violence on children in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
The conflict in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been particularly devastating for children and has been typified by high levels of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). In this study, we seek to characterize the patterns and impact of sexual violence on children in the Eastern DRC. Semi-structured questionnaires were administered among a convenience sample of women <18 years of age presenting for post-sexual-violence care at…
