‘No one ever asked for my suggestions…’
Since 2017, more than 600 000 Rohingya have sought refuge in Bangladesh, as Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMN), in registered camps or improvised settlements in Cox's Bazar. Although humanitarian responses have significantly improved in the past decades, coordination gaps remain between health and non-health sectors (eg, little is known about the impacts of shelter or protection responses on refugee health). We thus aimed to explore FDMN…
“Basically a PR exercise…”
Background Dengue cases are increasing despite continued efforts to control its vectors, with the Asia-Pacific region projected to bear a substantial proportion of the global burden. However, literature on dengue vector control methods and evidence use in national control programmes in the region is limited. We thus aimed to explore expert perspectives on current methods and how to improve dengue vector control programmes across the region. Metho…
Syrian refugee and diaspora healthcare professionals
Now is an important opportunity to support Syrian and other refugee HCPs who have been forced to leave their homes to capitalise on their skills to explore the impacts of potentially effective policies and interventions. Such policies that aim to invest in refugee HCPs' skills, further develop their aptitudes, and potentially establish a connection between them and their homeland in a mutually beneficial manner for both health systems in exile an…
Accessing breast cancer care in a protracted conflict
‘ Covid-19 is just another way to die… ’
INTRODUCTION: Governance of COVID-19 responses has been challenging for all countries. Syria has been particularly challenged due to protracted multiparty conflict and debilitated health systems fragmented across different areas of control. To improve response governance, better understanding of frontline response policy implementation across the country is needed. This study thus explored perspectives of COVID-19 response governance among frontl…
‘Science is only half of it’
Governmental awareness of the potential spread of infectious disease, exemplified by the current Covid-19 pandemic, ideally results in collective action, as countries coordinate a response that benefits all, contributing expertise, resources, knowledge and experience to achieve a common public good. However, operationalising regional cooperation is difficult, with barriers including lack of political will, regional heterogeneity, and existing geo…
Community engagement in health systems interventions and research in conflict-affected countries
BACKGROUND: Healthcare research, planning, and delivery with minimal community engagement can result in financial wastage, failure to meet objectives, and frustration in the communities that programmes are designed to help. Engaging communities - individual service-users and user groups - in the planning, delivery, and assessment of healthcare initiatives from inception promotes transparency, accountability, and 'ownership'. Health systems affect…
Gender-Based Violence in the Asia-Pacific Region during Covid-19
Since the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been reports of increased violence against women globally. We aimed to explore factors associated with reported increases in gender-based violence (GBV) during the pandemic in the Asia-Pacific region. We conducted 47 semi-structured interviews with experts working in sexual and reproductive health in 12 countries in the region. We analysed data thematically, using the socio-ecological fr…
How can humanitarian services provision during mass displacement better support health systems? An exploratory qualitative study of humanitarian service provider perspectives in Cox's Bazar, Banglades…
Health services provision in mass displacement settings is a humanitarian imperative and essential to promoting international and regional security. Internationally displaced populations experience a range of issues pre-, peri-, post-displacement and residing in host countries that affect their health and well-being. This study examined links between humanitarian and government health services provision for forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals (F…
The health of internally displaced people in Syria
This manuscript presents some of the current issues with regards to IDP health in Syria, however, there remain numerous unknowns, both for the health of IDP as well as non-IDP populations. We hope that it will be the foundation for further discussions on practical steps relating to research, analysis and interventions which can support health system responses for IDPs in Syria
Aging, Age-Specific Health Care Costs and the Future Health Care Burden in Canada
Studies of the impact of aging on health care costs in Canada often assume a constant resource cost of care for the elderly compared to the cost of those under the age of 65. While this assumption enables us to examine the sole impact of demographic shifts, it excludes a sizable component of aging-related health care costs. In this paper, health care expenditures associated with aging are decomposed into the constituent components of demographic …
