Adopting an ethical approach to migration health policy, practice and research
Migration health is affected by decision making at levels ranging from global to local, both within and beyond the health sector. These decisions impact seeking, entitlements, service delivery, policy making and knowledge production on migration health. It is key that ethical challenges faced by decision makers are recognised and addressed in research and data, clinical practice and policy making on migration health. An ethical approach can provi…
Grensekryssende helsetrusler og FNs sikkerhetsråd
Covid-19-pandemien har tydeliggjort hvordan grensekryssende helse-trusler har samfunnsmessige konsekvenser. Epidemier ute av kontroll og andre ikke-kontrollerte grensekryssende helsetrusler kan sees som trusler mot fred og sikkerhet. Slike helsekriser kan ha store negative konsekvenser på helse, sosiale forhold og økonomisk utvikling, og har derfor potensiale for å bli både lokale, regionale og globale sikkerhetskriser. Stor ulikhet i tilgang til…
Searching for accountability
While the literature on the health of refugees and migrants is growing, the governance challenges on migration and health remain neglected. Drawing on a conceptual framework on accountability, we assess whether the first WHO global action plan addressing refugees and migrants' health is equipped to fulfil its promise to promote their health and good migration governance. Looking beyond ethical and human rights-based ideas, the WHO global action p…
What if the baby doesn't survive? Health-care decision making for ill newborns in Ethiopia
Despite efforts to improve access to and quality of care for newborns, the first month after birth remains the most dangerous period of life. Given high neonatal mortality in low-income countries, saving newborn lives is a key priority for global and national health policy agendas. However, little is known about how these policies resonate with local understandings, experiences and household priorities. In this qualitative study we examined famil…
Impact of a peer-counseling intervention on breastfeeding practices in different socioeconomic strata
BACKGROUND: Undernutrition is highly prevalent among infants in Uganda. Optimal infant feeding practices may improve nutritional status, health, and survival among children. OBJECTIVE: Our study evaluates the socioeconomic distribution of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) and growth outcomes among infants included in a trial, which promoted EBF by peer counselors in Uganda. DESIGN: Twenty-four clusters comprising one to two communities in Uganda were…
Towards universal health coverage for reproductive health services in Ethiopia
Reproductive health services are crucial for maternal and child health, but universal health coverage is still not within reach in most societies. Ethiopia's goal of universal health coverage promises access to all necessary services for everyone while providing protection against financial risk. When moving towards universal health coverage, health plans and policies require contextualized knowledge about baseline indicators and their distributi…
