Consensus on key domains for emergency medical teams deployment evaluation
Based on the consensus findings and guided by the pillar themes and questions outlined in the World Health Organization's After Action Review guidance, we proposed a preliminary structure for an EMT evaluation. These findings can serve as a foundation to inform the future design of a standardised evaluation framework. Further refinement through iterative testing and stakeholder consultation will enhance the framework's practicality and adaptabili…
Using an analogue-digital hybrid clinical data management platform during a two-dose preventive Ebola virus vaccine trial in Goma, the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Clinical trials in settings with intermittent or non-existent internet and power connectivity, for example during humanitarian emergencies, present challenges in the synchronisation of data across different sites, in addition to accessing a centralised database in real-time. To overcome these, we designed a novel hybrid analogue/digital data management system which was deployed during the rapid implementation of a Phase III evaluation of a two-do…
Evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of the ReLasv Pan-Lassa Antigen Rapid Test for Lassa Fever in Nigeria
Lassa fever is a zoonotic disease found in several countries across West Africa, with estimates of up to 300,000 infections and 10,000 deaths yearly. The highest incidence is in Nigeria. Suspected cases are often seen in areas with limited infrastructure and diagnostics capacity, hence the availability of an accurate rapid diagnostic test (RDT) that could be used in the community would be an important public health tool. Unfortunately, few RDTs f…
Evaluating diagnostic tests during outbreaks
Protection, health seeking, or a laissez-passer
During the 10th Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) (2018-2020), two experimental EVD vaccines were deployed in North Kivu. This province has been at the centre of conflict in the region for the last 25 years. Amidst ambivalence towards protracted foreign intervention and controversy about introducing two experimental vaccines, the existing literature has focused on mistrust and 'resistance' to…
Joint External Evaluation scores and communicable disease deaths
The Joint External Evaluation (JEE) assesses national capacities to implement the International Health Regulations (IHR). Previous studies have found that higher JEE scores are associated with fewer communicable disease deaths. But given the impact of COVID-19 in many countries, including those believed to have developed IHR capacities, the validity of the JEE for pandemic preparedness has been questioned. We constructed univariable and multivari…
‘Learn from the lessons and don’t forget them’
As supplies of COVID-19 vaccines become available to LMICs, countries need to prepare to efficiently roll out the vaccine, encourage uptake among eligible groups and respond to potential community concerns. Lessons from the implementation of these three vaccines that targeted adults in LMICs can be used to inform best practice for COVID-19 and other epidemic vaccination campaigns
Shifting the paradigm
Disease outbreaks and health emergencies can push health systems to a breaking point, especially fragile systems. Building resilient and responsive health systems is an imperative for the global health community and there is an important opportunity to address health systems strengthening activities during outbreak response. The resources dedicated to outbreaks create organisational infrastructure, capacity and networks that can be leveraged to s…
Small scale migration along the interoceanic highway in Madre de Dios, Peru
BACKGROUND: Madre de Dios, a southern state in the Peruvian Amazon basin, has experienced rapid development as well as an influx of migrants since the construction of the Interoceanic Highway (IOH) connecting Brazil, Bolivia, and the Peruvian coast. We explored perceptions of migration and development in up to eight communities along the IOH in Madre de Dios following construction of the highway. METHODS: We conducted a multiple methods study inv…
The Impact of Road Construction on Subjective Well-Being in Communities in Madre de Dios, Peru
The interoceanic highway (IOH) in Madre de Dios, Peru has driven dramatic change in the Peruvian Amazon basin. We conducted a mixed methods study to examine the impact of these changes on the subjective well-being (SWB) of four communities on the IOH. Themes that emerged qualitatively included changing health threats, environmental degradation, and the impact of increased migration. To achieve a higher level of SWB, respondents emphasized the nee…
Community perceptions of health and rodent-borne diseases along the Inter-Oceanic Highway in Madre de Dios, Peru
Awareness of rodent-borne diseases is still lacking in the area, even among health care professionals within the communities, despite the known burden of diseases like leptospirosis. We expect to report further findings as we obtain more information from all the study components
Community-Centered Responses to Ebola in Urban Liberia
BACKGROUND: The West African Ebola epidemic has demonstrated that the existing range of medical and epidemiological responses to emerging disease outbreaks is insufficient, especially in post-conflict contexts with exceedingly poor healthcare infrastructures. In this context, community-based responses have proven vital for containing Ebola virus disease (EVD) and shifting the epidemic curve. Despite a surge in interest in local innovations that e…
Brote de infección por norovirus del grupo II en un Centro de Entrenamiento Militar, Perú 2013
We report an outbreak of norovirus(NoV) which occurred at a military training center in Peru. Thirteenstool samples that were taken from initial cases turned out positive for NoV GII by RT-PCR. A case-control study was performedto determine factorsassociated with infection.164 probable cases (45.2%clinical attack rate) were identified. The only factor associatedwith infection was "having shared room with a case" (ORa = 1.7; 95% CI 1.1 to 2.7).Epi…
Housing equity for health equity
Poor quality housing is an infringement on the rights of all humans to a standard of living adequate for health. Among the many vulnerabilities of those without adequate shelter is the risk of disease spread by rodents and other pests. One such disease is Lassa fever, an acute and sometimes severe viral hemorrhagic illness endemic in West Africa. Lassa virus is maintained in the rodent Mastomys natalensis , commonly known as the “multimammate rat…
Malaria and Other Tropical Infections in the Intensive Care Unit
Factors associated with nosocomial Sars-CoV transmission among healthcare workers in Hanoi, Vietnam, 2003
This study highlights job categories and activities associated with increased risk for SARS-CoV infection and demonstrates that a broad diversity of hospital workers may be vulnerable during an outbreak. These findings may help guide recommendations for the protection of vulnerable occupational groups and may have implications for other respiratory infections such as influenza
