Face, head, and neck (FHN) problems and surgical need assessment among refugees living in Tanzania
Otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (OHNS) conditions comprise a considerable and underprioritized portion of the global burden of surgical disease. While OHNS conditions have been found to disproportionately impact low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), no studies to date have sought to characterize the burden of OHNS disease within chronic refugee settings in LMICs. The cluster-randomized, cross-sectional Surgeons Overseas Assessment of Sur…
Kansa talk: Mapping cancer terminologies in Bagamoyo, Tanzania towards dignity-based practice
This paper reports and examines the results of qualitative research on the use of local cancer terminology in urban Bagamoyo, Tanzania. Following recent calls to unify evidence and dignity-based practices in global health, this research locates local medical sociolinguistics as a key place of entry into creating epistemologically autonomous public health practices. We used semistructured ethnographic interviews to reveal both the contextual and b…
“It’s my life, not theirs!” Therapeutic itineraries and refugee reflections on referral health care in western Tanzania
Globally, refugees number over 25 million. Yet, little attention has been paid to how refugees access referral health care in host countries. By referral, I mean the process by which a patient deemed too sick to be managed at a lower-level health facility is transferred to a higher-level facility with more resources to provide care. In this article, I provide reflections on referral health care from the perspective of refugees living in exile in …
Access to Health Services Among Forced Migrants in Tanzania: A Cluster Randomized Cross Sectional Study of 3560 Congolese and Burundian Refugees
Therapeutic citizens or therapeutic refugees? An examination of triage, refugeehood, and referral health care in Tanzania
Humanitarian surgical service utilization by a host country population: Comparing surgery patterns between refugees and Tanzanians using an interrupted time-series analysis
Surgical care in conflict and post-conflict settings is not limited to war or violence related trauma but instead includes a large burden of obstetrical and general surgical pathology. Host population utilization of surgical services in Nyarugusu camp accounted for over 25% of all surgeries performed, suggesting some host population benefit of the protracted refugee situation in western Tanzania. Host population utilization of surgical services w…
Prevalence and assessment of malnutrition among children attending the Reproductive and Child Health clinic at Bagamoyo District Hospital, Tanzania
Hospital and facility attending populations of under-five children in and around Bagamoyo suffer moderately high rates of malnutrition. Current nutrition programs focus on education for at risk children and referral to regional hospitals for malnourished children. Even though the general population has even greater malnutrition than the population presenting at the hospital, in areas of high malnutrition, hospital-based interventions should also …
