Priority setting in times of crises
BACKGROUND: While priority setting is recognized as critical for promoting accountability and transparency in health system planning, its role in supporting rational, equitable and fair pandemic planning and responses is less well understood. This study aims to describe how priority setting was used to support planning in the initial stage of the pandemic response in a subset of countries in the Western Pacific Region (WPR). METHODS: We purposive…
How did European countries set health priorities in response to the Covid-19 threat? A comparative document analysis of 24 pandemic preparedness plans across the Euro region
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced governments across the world to consider how to prioritise the allocation of scarce resources. There are many tools and frameworks that have been designed to assist with the challenges of priority setting in health care. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which formal priority setting was evident in the pandemic plans produced by countries in the World Health Organisation's EURO region, during …
Stakeholder participation in the Covid-19 pandemic preparedness and response plans
A global comparative analysis of the the inclusion of priority setting in national Covid-19 pandemic plans
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on HIV healthcare delivery for females in sub-Saharan Africa
Throughout sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), females are disproportionately impacted by HIV and face generalized but also gendered social and economic barriers to accessing HIV healthcare and services. At the outset of the pandemic, many anticipated COVID-19 would represent a major set-back for HIV care in the region. The impact of COVID-19 on HIV health services and HIV-affected populations has been reported in specific populations but has not been synt…
They do their utmost
After often gruelling journeys, some refugees arrive at secure locations with severe injury or illness. Others find themselves shortly thereafter facing a life-limiting health condition. Palliative care has been the focus of recent research, and of academic and aid sector dialogue. In this study, we ask: What are experiences and needs of patients and care providers? What opportunities and obstacles exist to enhance or introduce means of reducing …
We Live Our Life Normal”
This paper examined women's decision to seek or not seek care, the type of care they received, and where they went for care. Women felt that the COVID-19 pandemic affected their decision to seek or not seek care
Impaired in life
Background: Depression is a global crisis and a major concern in mental health interventions, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where it significantly impacts disability, quality of life, and economic stability. These chronic stressors have been used to argue for scaling up the detection and treatment of depression as a public health and development priority. Aim: This study aimed to explore illness narratives of depressio…
A rapid qualitative methods assessment and reporting tool for epidemic response as the outcome of a rapid review and expert consultation
During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Methods Sub-Group of the WHO COVID-19 Social Science Research Roadmap Working Group conducted a rapid evidence review of rapid qualitative methods (RQMs) used during epidemics. The rapid review objectives were to (1) synthesize the development, implementation, and uses of RQMs, including the data collection tools, research questions, research capacities, analytical approaches, and strategies use…
Aid when ‘there is nothing left to offer’
Access to palliative care, and more specifically the alleviation of avoidable physical and psychosocial suffering is increasingly recognized as a necessary component of humanitarian response. Palliative approaches to care can meet the needs of patients for whom curative treatment may not be the aim, not just at the very end of life but alleviation of suffering more broadly. In the past several years many organizations and sectoral initiatives hav…
“Is There Anything Else You Would Like to Add?”
When conducting interviews or focus groups, researchers often end with a simple question; “Is there anything else you would like to add?” This article takes responses to this question provided by participants in a study of “West Africans' Perceptions of Ebola research” as its point of departure. A number of participants in that study accepted the invitation to add on to their interview at its end with details of suffering from the sequelae of Ebo…
Reflections of methodological and ethical challenges in conducting research during Covid-19 involving resettled refugee youth in Canada
Research involving migrant youth involves navigating and negotiating complex challenges in order to uphold their rights and dignity, but also all while maintaining scientific rigour. COVID-19 has changed the global landscape within many domains and has increasingly highlighted inequities that exist. With restrictions focusing on maintaining physical distancing set in place to curb the spread of the virus, conducting in-person research becomes com…
The experiences and challenges of community health volunteers as agents for behaviour change programming in Africa
Community health volunteers are considered a vital part of the community health structure in Africa. Despite this vital role in African health systems, very little is known about the community health volunteers' day-to-day lived experiences providing services in communities and supporting other health workers. This scoping review aims to advance understanding of the day-to-day experiences of community health volunteers in Africa. In doing so, thi…
Priority setting and equity in Covid-19 pandemic plans
Priority setting represents an even bigger challenge during public health emergencies than routine times. This is because such emergencies compete with routine programmes for the available health resources, strain health systems and shift health-care attention and resources towards containing the spread of the epidemic and treating those that fall seriously ill. This paper is part of a larger global study, the aim of which is to evaluate the degr…
Coping with Stressors by Drawing on Social Supports
This study explores how teenage Syrian refugees use their social networks to cope with stressors. Through interviews with nine youth aged 16 to 18 living in Ontario, Canada, stressors related to pre- and post-migration emerged. Family, peers, school staff, and organizations were identified as social networks, each having unique reasons why they were selected. Coping was categorized as individualistic or collectivistic. Teenage Syrian refugees dra…
Dying in honour
With no cure and a high mortality rate, Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreaks require preparedness for the provision of end-of-life palliative care. This qualitative study is part of a larger project on palliative care in humanitarian contexts. Its goal was to document and deepen understanding of experiences and expectations related to end-of-life palliative care for patients infected with Ebola virus disease (EVD) in West African Ebola treatment c…
Priority setting during the Covid-19 pandemic
Development of vaccines is a major breakthrough in the fight against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Much attention has been paid to how to prioritise between patient groups for vaccination and how to ensure equity, especially in low-income countries, but there are other important decisions that need to be made. These decisions include: (a) choosing between the various vaccines that will become available, (b) continuing to invest in other aspects of the CO…
Informing ‘good’ global health research partnerships
Background: Several sets of principles have been proposed to guide global health research partnerships and mitigate inequities inadvertently caused by them. The existence of multiple sets of principles poses a challenge for those seeking to critically engage with and develop their practice. Which of these is best to use, and why? To what extent, if any, is there agreement across proposed principles?Objective: The objectives of this review were to…
A framework to support the integration of priority setting in the preparedness, alert, control and evaluation stages of a disease pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic, where the need-resource gap has necessitated decision makers in some contexts to ration access to life-saving interventions, has demonstrated the critical need for systematic and fair priority setting and resource allocation mechanisms. Disease outbreaks are becoming increasingly common and priority setting lessons from previous disease outbreaks could be better harnessed to inform decision making and planning for future di…
What do we mean by critical and ethical global engagement? Questions from a research partnership between universities in Canada and Rwanda
Language - the words we use - can play a key role in enabling or limiting transformation of inequalities in the field of global health. At the same time, given the interdisciplinary, intersectoral, and international nature of much global health work, intended meanings, commitments, and underlying values for words used cannot be taken for granted. This commentary sets out to clarify, and in this manner render available for further discussion and d…
Methodological and Practical Considerations in Rapid Qualitative Research
Rapid qualitative research (RQR) studies are increasingly employed to inform decision-making in public health emergencies. Despite this trend, there remains a lack of clarity around what these studies actually involve in terms of methodological processes and practical considerations or challenges. Our team conducted a global RQR study during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, we provide a detailed account of our methodological processes and …
Addressing obstacles to the inclusion of palliative care in humanitarian health projects
Opportunities exist for overcoming the obstacles to providing palliative care in humanitarian crises. Doing so is necessary to ensure that humanitarian healthcare can fulfill its objectives not only of saving lives, but also of alleviating suffering and promoting dignity of individuals who are ill or injured during a humanitarian crises, including persons who are dying or likely to die
Covid-19 in sub-Saharan Africa
Women’s freedom of movement and participation in psychosocial support groups
Mental health access and gender inequality are inseparable in the context of Northern India, and women's mental health cannot be addressed without first addressing underlying gender relations. Community-based mental health programs are an effective tool and can be used to strengthen communities collectively; however, attention towards the gender constraints that restrict women's freedom of movement and their ability to access care is required. To…
Moral experiences of humanitarian health professionals caring for patients who are dying or likely to die in a humanitarian crisis
Wars, disasters, and epidemics affect millions of individuals every year. International non-governmental organizations respond to many of these crises and provide healthcare in settings ranging from a field hospital deployed after an earthquake, to a health clinic in a longstanding refugee camp, to a treatment center during an infectious disease outbreak. The primary focus of these activities is to save lives. However, inevitably, many patients c…
Some Carry On, Some Stay in Bed
What is the significance of feeling unbearably weighed-down by everyday life on the social and economic margins of a Central American city? What are the politics of a mother feeling there is no longer any point in showing up for work given the limited impact it makes for the everyday needs of her family? Relatedly, what is the significance of another woman carrying on with the business of survival as a member of Nicaragua's urban poor majority? I…

Moral sentiments in Aidland
This short article introduces the special section "Morality in Aidland," which brings together three articles exploring the work of moral sentiments in social actors' understandings of and engagements with local, national, and international aid and development practices
Extra-ordinary aid and its shadows
Nicaragua has the lowest per capita spending on health in Central America. Public clinics lack medications for chronic disease management; many citizens obtain prescriptions but cannot afford to get these filled; poorly equipped and under-staffed operating theatres function part-time while waiting lists swell. This is the context within which dozens of international healthcare missions travel to Nicaragua every year to provide surgical and primar…

I'll Show You My Wounds”
This article draws on the authors’ experience making a film about pesticide‐afflicted ex‐banana plantation workers in N icaragua. Addressed are the practical, ethical, and aesthetic possibilities and challenges of visualizing the bodily dimensions of social inequality through film. How can one represent bodily dimensions of structural violence given the particularity of all visceral knowledge? How can one, in the making of films that travel acros…
Aesthetics of Affliction
In making Aesthetics of Affliction our theme for this first issue, our goal was to engage immediately with questions that must remain central in a journal dealing with corpo-realities of structural violence, the senses, and the theatricality of power. These questions are: how can we talk to experiences and situations that evade translation and that are mired with legacies of objectification? What are the possibilities, limits, hopes, and risks wh…
Suspended
To be suspended is to feel oneself hanging, to be stretched between structured forms and towards the impossible. It is to occupy spaces, times, and/or bodies in between and in transition. It is to materialize the social in its tremulating forms, not knowing exactly what lies beneath one’s feet, where and how, when and if one will touch down. States of suspension involve a reaching or an impulse towards a different social, without knowing what tha…

Sensing Life at Its End
Personal stories, public voices
The project described in this paper rests on a belief in the power and significance of storytelling in social change processes. It also takes seriously worries and critique about ‘what happens’ when personal stories of troubles or suffering are told to strangers, particularly as they revolve around contradictory claims about empathy. Over several months our research team worked with a group of women who have experienced homelessness and who are a…
Tactics and dissonance
The idea for this special issue arose out of meetings of the Arts-Centered, Community-Engaged Social Sciences Research (A.C.C.E.S.S.) Collaborative at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. Beginning in 2013, a group of faculty and recent graduates began meeting on a regular basis to discuss how, why, under what conditions or with what caveats art enables new social relations. All of us attend to the politics of representation in our work; some…
Looking good but doing harm? Perceptions of short-term medical missions in Nicaragua
In this paper, we present findings from a qualitative study that gathered Nicaraguans' perceptions of short-term foreign medical missions, towards deepening the understanding of what Nicaraguans value or find limited in the work of such foreign missions operating in their country. Fifty-two interviews were conducted with patients, relatives of patients, Nicaraguan physicians and nurses who partnered with or observed missions at work, 'beneficiary…
Waiting for the body to fail
High-quality patient-centred care for hospitalised patients at the end of life requires health care teams to engage patients and families in communication and decision-making about goals of care. In the absence of such engagement, patient preferences may not be reflected in their care, and patients may be subjected to unwanted life-sustaining technologies such as mechanical ventilation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The DECIDE (DECIsion-makin…
Opportunities, limits and challenges of perceptions studies for humanitarian contexts
This article aims to advance understanding and discussion of perceptions studies as a method for strengthening humanitarian performance. Perceptions studies are qualitative studies produced for and often by humanitarian organisations, based on analysis of local perceptions of humanitarian efforts. While these studies are normatively asserted as valuable within the humanitarian sector, there has been no synthesis to date of their potential and lim…
