Designing an evidence-informed package of essential health services for Universal Health Coverage: Lessons learnt and challenges to implementation in Liberia
Liberia developed an evidence-informed package of health services for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) based on the Disease Control Priorities 3 evidence. This paper describes the policy decisions, methods and processes adopted for prioritisation, key features of the package and lessons learnt, with special emphasis on feasibility of implementation. Package design was led by the Ministry of Health. Prioritisation of essential services was based on…
Decision-making processes for essential packages of health services: Experience from six countries
Many countries around the world strive for universal health coverage, and an essential packages of health services (EPHS) is a central policy instrument for countries to achieve this. It defines the coverage of services that are made available, as well as the proportion of the costs that are covered from different financial schemes and who can receive these services. This paper reports on the development of an analytical framework on the decision…
Clinical outcomes and risk factors for Covid-19 among migrant populations in high-income countries: A systematic review
Infant and young child feeding patterns in Kuwait: Results of a cross-sectional survey
Objective The beneficial role of breast-feeding for maternal and child health is now well established. Its possible role in helping to prevent diabetes and obesity in children in later life means that more attention must be given to understanding how patterns of infant feeding are changing. The present study describes breast-feeding profiles and associated factors in Kuwait. Design/Setting/Subjects Interviews with 1484 recent mothers were underta…
Screening for Infectious Diseases among Newly Arrived Migrants in EU/EEA Countries—Varying Practices but Consensus on the Utility of Screening
Screening is one possible tool for monitoring infectious diseases among migrants. However, there is limited information on screening programmes targeted for newly arrived migrants in EU/EEA countries. Our aim was to investigate the implementation, practices and usefulness of these programmes. We conducted a survey among country experts from EU/EEA countries and Switzerland, asking whether their countries had implemented screening programmes. We a…
Mental Health and Coping in a War Situation: The Case of Bosnia and Herzegovina
The latter part of the twentieth century has seen an increased concern for the implications of war for civilian populations, and more attention has been given to psychosocial impacts of uprooting and displacement. ‘Loss of place’, acute and chronic trauma, family disruption and problems of family reunification have become issues of concern. The war in Bosnia was characterized by massive displacement, disruption and loss of life, relatives and pro…
A policy critique of HIV/Aids and demobilisation
The objective of this paper is to draw out and encourage debate on the relationship between HIV and the policy challenges that it poses for security. It explores how demobilisation programmes need to incorporate a development perspective, bringing together public health practitioners and security experts, in order to address the pandemic and the future security needs of Sub-Saharan Africa, in particular. It is hoped that integrating two very diff…
Aids risk reduction and reduced HIV seroconversion among injection drug users in Bangkok
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seroconversion was studied in a group of 173 injection drug users in Bangkok, Thailand, who had been previously tested for HIV and were interviewed and retested in the fall of 1989. Ten percent of the group had seroconverted. Two factors protected against HIV seroconversion: having stopped sharing injection equipment in response to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and having a regular sexual partner…
Sexual culture, HIV transmission, and Aids research
The spread of the international AIDS pandemic has drawn attention to the urgent need for data on human sexual behavior; yet the absence of an established tradition of theory and method in sex research has limited the development of initiatives in this area. This has been particularly evident in the lack of attention given to the ways in which cross‐cultural differences structure the meaning of sexual experience. While survey research can play an …
Qualitative research on homosexual and bisexual behavior relevant to HIV/Aids
The spread of the international AIDS pandemic has drawn attention to the urgent need for data on human sexual behavior; yet the lack of an established tradition of theory and method in sex research has limited the development of research initiatives in this area. This has been particularly true in the study of homosexual and bisexual behavior, which has relied heavily on the use of quantitative survey methods that largely fail to address cross‐cu…
WHO Global Programme on Aids: Social and Behavioural Research
A cross national study of patterns of sexual behaviour
The global AIDS epidemic and the fact that HIV is sexually transmitted have highlighted the need for more information on patterns of human sexuality, especially with regard to high‐risk practice and behaviours. Consequently, the World Health Organization's Global Programme on AIDS (in collaboration with Member States) has developed research materials that can be used to define dominant patterns of sexual behavior, in different social and cultural…

Adolescent sexuality—changing needs and values
Concern about the health of adolescents, their patterns of social and sexual interaction as well as the ways in which they ultimately are able to adapt to the outcomes of their interaction is a relatively recent development (Carballo & Engstrom, 1975). In no small way the concern currently being addressed to this issue is indicative of a much broader preoccupation with the impact of social change on individual and community health in general. For…
WHO Collaborative studies on breastfeeding
It is generally acknowledged that the popularity of breast-feeding, expressed in terms of the frequency with which it is taken up, and the length of time it is continued, is declining, and that, especially among populations of the Third World, the implications of this decline for infant health are likely to be serious and far reaching.
Social and behavioural aspects of breast-feeding
Breast-feeding in the human and higher primates unlike the case of most other mammals, is learned rather than instinctive; over a long time it has been shown to be highly labile. Its success appears to depend not only upon the capacity of the mother to lactate, i.e. to produce milk, or on the child's ability to suckle, but perhaps more significantly, on the mother's desire to breast-feed, on the availability of sufficient reference models upon wh…
