Medicines in motion
The informal cross-border trade (ICBT) in medicines in Africa is an under-explored phenomenon, with potentially serious public health implications. We conducted ethnographic research (Dec 2022-Jan 2023) at two major border crossings in East and West Africa: between Ghana-Togo at Aflao/Lomé and Kenya-Tanzania at Namanga. Observations at strategic locations were complemented by informal interviews with traders, transporters, retailers, border offic…
Antimalarial stocking decisions among medicine retailers in Ghana
Global health efforts such as malarial control require efficient pharmaceutical supply chains to ensure effective delivery of quality-assured medicines to those who need them. However, very little is currently known about decision-making processes within antimalarial supply chains and potential vulnerabilities to substandard and falsified medicines. Addressing this gap, we report on a study that investigated decision-making around the stocking of…
Preponderance of vaccine-preventable diseases hotspots in northern Ghana
This study shows a preponderance of VPD hotspots in the northern parts of Ghana and in semi-arid ecoclimates. The relationship between ASGM activities and VPD transmission in Ghana remains blurred and requires further studies with better spatial resolution to clarify
Managing uncertainty in medicine quality in Ghana
The application of Signalling Theory to health-related trust problems
In contexts where healthcare regulation is weak and levels of uncertainty high, how do patients decide whom and what to trust? In this paper, we explore the potential for using Signalling Theory (ST, a form of Behavioural Game Theory) to investigate health-related trust problems under conditions of uncertainty, using the empirical example of 'herbal clinics' in Ghana and Tanzania. Qualitative, ethnographic fieldwork was conducted over an eight-mo…
