Improving case-detection of wasting among under-five-year-old children in Ethiopia
WHO recommends weight-for-height Z-score (WHZ)
Redefining health priorities
Recent Lancet Global Burden of Disease Study projections highlight a significant transformation in sub-Saharan Africa’s (SSA) health landscape by 2050 [1]. Although global age-standardised disease burden and life expectancy are anticipated to improve, SSA will move from primarily impacted by communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases (CMNNs) to an increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). [...]
The role of universal health coverage and global health security nexus and interplay on Sars-CoV-2 infection and case-fatality rates in Africa
BACKGROUND: The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 infections remains a significant health challenge worldwide. There is paucity of evidence on the influence of the universal health coverage (UHC) and global health security (GHS) nexus on SARS-CoV-2 infection risk and outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the effects of UHC and GHS nexus and interplay on SARS-CoV-2 infection rate and case-fatality rates (CFR) in Africa. METHO…
Coping Strategies to Mitigate Food Insecurity at Household Level

Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 310 diseases and injuries, 1990–2015
BACKGROUND: Non-fatal outcomes of disease and injury increasingly detract from the ability of the world's population to live in full health, a trend largely attributable to an epidemiological transition in many countries from causes affecting children, to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) more common in adults. For the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015), we estimated the incidence, prevalence, and years liv…
Predictors of early mortality in a cohort of HIV-infected children receiving high active antiretroviral treatment in public hospitals in Ethiopia
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is the breakthrough in care and treatment of people living with HIV, leading to a reduction in mortality and an improvement in the quality of life. Without antiretroviral treatment, most HIV-infected children die before their fifth birthday. So the objective of this study is to determine the mortality and associated factors in a cohort of HIV-infected children receiving ART in Ethiopia. A multicentre f…
Determinants of willingness to pay for the retreatment of insecticide treated mosquito nets in rural area of eastern Ethiopia
The mean with SD of the respondents for willingness to pay was 1 USD and 1.53 USD. Average monthly income and those household who live within a distance in 30 min to the health facility were determinant for willingness to pay. Government and other development partners should seek a mechanism to make a subsidy or free of charge for the retreatment services. Differential treatment from the public to address the poor and vulnerable households and th…
Factors influencing full immunization coverage among 12–23 months of age children in Ethiopia
The overall full immunization coverage in Ethiopia was considerably low as compared to the national target set (66%). Health service use and access to information on maternal and child health were found to predict full immunization coverage. Appropriate strategies should be devised to enhance health information and accessibility for full immunization coverage by addressing the variations among regions
