  • “It is good to take her early to the doctor” – mothers’ understanding of childhood pneumonia symptoms and health care seeking in Kilimanjaro region, Tanzania

    Open AccessFlorida Muro, Judith Meta et al.ARTICLEBMC International Health and…2017

    BACKGROUND: Pneumonia is among the leading causes of avoidable deaths for young children globally. The main burden of mortality falls on children from poor and rural families who are less likely to obtain the treatment they need, highlighting inequities in access to effective care and treatment. Caretakers' illness perceptions and care-seeking practices are of major importance for children with pneumonia to receive adequate care. This study quali…

  • Bringing the state into the clinic? Incorporating the rapid diagnostic test for malaria into routine practice in Tanzanian primary healthcare facilities

    Open AccessEleanor Hutchinson, Hugh Reyburn et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2015

    The roles that rapid, point-of-care tests will play in healthcare in low-income settings are likely to expand over the coming years. Yet, very little is known about how they are incorporated into practice, and what it means to use and rely upon them. This paper focuses on the rapid diagnostic test for malaria (mRDT), examining its introduction into low-level public health facilities in Tanzania within an intervention to improve the targeting of c…

  • Patient costs for paediatric hospital admissions in Tanzania

    Open AccessPriyanka Saksena, Hugh Reyburn et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2010Cited by: 2References: 5

    OBJECTIVE: Tanzania has a policy of free provision of inpatient care for young children in order to promote timely access and thus reduce the current levels of mortality. However, little is known about out-of-pocket costs that may be incurred by families in seeking care for sick children. We conducted this study to identify the magnitude of these costs in relation to family income. METHODS: Five hundred and ten caretakers were interviewed on the …

  • Malaria overdiagnosis

    Open AccessClare Chandler, C I R Chandler et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2008Cited by: 1

    OBJECTIVE: In Africa antimalarials are often prescribed when malaria is unlikely, a problem that is becoming critical as more expensive antimalarials replace established drugs. However, little is known about what drives the overuse of antimalarials. We conducted this study to explore to what extent current prescribing behaviour in hospitals is driven by patient demand. METHODS: Consultations were observed followed by exit interviews with patients…

  • Attitudes to voluntary counselling and testing prior to the offer of Nevirapine to prevent vertical transmission of HIV in northern Tanzania

    P Urassa, Roland Gosling et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2005

    In developed countries much progress has been made in reducing vertical transmission of HIV using antiretroviral therapies. To achieve similar gains in Africa the acceptability of routine HIV testing of pregnant women is becoming increasingly important. Evidence of reluctance of pregnant women to undergo HIV testing has led to suggestions to offer antiretroviral therapy to pregnant women without prior HIV testing. In this study we set out to iden…
