Health systems collaboration can strengthen climate change resilience
Strengthening the resilience of health systems is a recognised pathway for responding to the impacts of climate change. However, current approaches often rely on biomedical models that exclude Indigenous Peoples and their knowledges. In Latin America, Indigenous communities have long maintained comprehensive health systems that support both individual and collective well-being, rooted in traditional medical knowledges and close engagement with bi…
Addressing Food Insecurity Through Community Kitchens During the Covid-19 Pandemic
One of the most critical impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic was on food security. Food insecurity increased in many communities, with some showing signs of resilience through autonomously creating community kitchens that enhanced food security and built support networks. These initiatives filled gaps left by government programmes and provided a critical lifeline for vulnerable communities during the pandemic, fostering community solidarity. This pa…

Pathways to strengthen the climate resilience of health systems in the Peruvian Amazon by working with Indigenous leaders, communities and health officers
BACKGROUND: Indigenous knowledge and responses were implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic to protect health, showcasing how Indigenous communities participation in health systems could be a pathway to increase resilience to emergent hazards like climate change. This study aimed to inform efforts to enhance climate change resilience in a health context by: (1) examining if and how adaptation to climate change is taking place within health syste…
Indigenous knowledge and leadership for climate change adaptation in nutrition
Fiji’s policy response to Covid-19 and the integration of Indigenous voices
Justice implications of health and food security policies for Indigenous peoples facing Covid-19
The spread of COVID-19 in Peru resulted in the declaration of a national health emergency, in which Indigenous peoples were identified as being particularly vulnerable due to their pre-existing poor health indicators and disadvantaged social conditions. The aim of this paper is to examine how the Peruvian government responded to the health and food needs of the Shawi and Ashaninka Indigenous peoples of Peru during the first 18 months of the pande…
Indigenous peoples and the Covid-19 pandemic
Past influenza pandemics including the Spanish flu and H1N1 have disproportionately affected Indigenous Peoples. We conducted a systematic scoping review to provide an overview of the state of understanding of the experience of Indigenous peoples during the first 18 months of the COVID-19 pandemic, in doing so we capture the state of knowledge available to governments and decision makers for addressing the needs of Indigenous peoples in these ear…
Policy responses to Covid-19 in Sri Lanka and the consideration of Indigenous Peoples
Socio-economic and environmental factors affecting breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices among Batwa and Bakiga communities in south-western Uganda
Improving breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices is needed to support good health, enhance child growth, and reduce child mortality. Limited evidence is available on child feeding among Indigenous communities and in the context of environmental changes. We investigate past and present breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices within Indigenous Batwa and neighbouring Bakiga populations in south-western Uganda. Specifically, we d…
Challenges of design, implementation, acceptability, and potential for, biomedical technologies in the Peruvian Amazon
This study proposes that technological and health interventions without efforts to respect local cultures and health priorities, or understand and anticipate contextual challenges, will not meet its goal of improving access to healthcare in remote Amazon communities. Furthermore, the implications of corruption on health services, and improper waste disposal on the environment may lead to more detrimental health inequities
Healthcare of Indigenous Amazonian Peoples in response to Covid-19
"Systematic and persistent discrimination against Indigenous Peoples translates into differential health outcomes when analysed through ethnicity and/or mother tongue.1 In Peru, morbidity and mortality rates among Indigenous Peoples for COVID-19 appear to confirm this.2 The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the historical structural violence against Indigenous Peoples that currently takes a disproportionate toll in the Peruvian Amazon. This equal…
An urgent call to collect data related to Covid-19 and Indigenous populations globally
Introduction Bronchodilator response (BDR) is a measurement of acute bronchodilation in response to short-acting β2-agonists (SABA), with a heritability between 10–40%. Identifying genetic variants associated with BDR may lead to a better understanding of its complex pathophysiology. Methods We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of BDR in six adult cohorts with participants of European ancestry (EA) and African ancestry (AA) includi…
A systematic global stocktake of evidence on human adaptation to climate change
Developing an online food composition database for an Indigenous population in south-western Uganda
Objective: To develop an online food composition database of locally consumed foods among an Indigenous population in south-western Uganda. Design: Using a community-based approach and collaboration with local nutritionists, we collected a list of foods for inclusion in the database through focus group discussions, an individual dietary survey and markets and shops assessment. The food database was then created using seven steps: identification o…
Cultural Values and the Coliform Bacterial Load of “Masato,” an Amazon Indigenous Beverage
Access to safe drinking water is limited in many isolated areas, such as the Amazon where Indigenous peoples frequently reside. Identifying safe forms of drinking water accepted by the communities could have positive health benefits for Indigenous peoples. Many Amazon Indigenous peoples traditionally prepare and consume a fermented beverage called masato, which is frequently the only form of water consumption. Despite its widespread consumption a…

Prevalencia de la infección por el virus de hepatitis B en niños menores de 5 años de comunidades indígenas de la Amazonía peruana posterior a intervenciones mediante inmunización
No cases of chronic HBV infection were detected. The vaccination coverage by card revision is low, contrasting with high seroconversion rates
Hipertensión arterial y obesidad en indígenas asháninkas de la región Junín, Perú
In order to determine the prevalence of high blood pressure and obesity in indigenous Ashaninkas, with limited contact with Western culture, a cross-sectional study was conducted in 2008 in five Ashaninka communities of the Junin region in the jungle of Peru. Individuals aged 35 or older were included. 76 subjects were evaluated (average age 47.4 years old, 52.6 % women) corresponding to 43.2% of the eligible population. The prevalence of hyperte…
