Exploring Perceptions of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting Abandonment (FGM/C) in Kenyan Health Care Professionals
Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) remains a global problem. We aimed to explore Kenyan health care professionals' (HCPs) perceptions of FGM/C abandonment and, in particular, those focused on those serving Maasai communities who continue to practice FGM/C. Using a grounded theory Straussian approach, 18 interviews were conducted with HCPs in Kajiado County, Kenya, to understand perceptions of FGM/C as a cultural practice, identify barriers…
HIV understanding, experiences and perceptions of HIV-positive men who have sex with men in Amazonian Peru: A qualitative study
More effective, focussed community education and workplace discrimination investigations are recommended to reduce stigma and increase adherence to treatment in this population
Perceptions and experiences regarding the impact of race on the quality of healthcare in Southeast Brazil: A qualitative study
Objective: To explore the impact of race on the quality of healthcare received by patients attending a primary care centre in Brazil. Design: This was a qualitative study consisting of 19 semi-structured interviews conducted on patients from six racial groups (as defined in Brazil as white, yellow, brown, black and indigenous and one self-identified 'other' group). The interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Four main themes we…
Patents or patients? global access to pharmaceuticals and social justice
Innovation, vaccine development, and world-wide equitable access to necessary pharmaceuticals are hindered by current patenting arrangements and the orientation of pharmaceutical research. Plausible alternatives exist, including instituting the right of national or international agencies to act in the public interest and to buy patents selectively with a view to innovation and equitable access. Alternatives could partly or wholly finance themselv…
Donor leverage: Towards More Equitable Access to Essential Medicines
In early 2007, the Indonesian government decided to withhold its samples of the avian influenza (‘bird flu’) virus from WHO's collaborating centres, pending a new global mechanism for virus sharing which would provide better terms for developing countries. The 60th World Health Assembly held in May 2007 subsequently resolved to establish an international stockpile of avian influenza vaccines, and to formulate mechanisms for equitable access to th…
Donor Leverage and Access to Bird Flu Vaccines: A challenge to the World Health Organization
In early 2007, the Indonesian government decided to withhold its bird flu virus samples from the World Health Organisation's collaborating centres pending a new global mechanism for virus sharing that offered better terms for developing countries. In breaking with the existing practice of freely sending flu virus samples to these laboratories, Indonesia expressed dissatisfaction with a system which obliged WHO member states to share virus samples…
International health aid and professional independence: The need for quality standards and self-regulation
The performance of health professionals is increasingly regulated in industrialized countries. There are systems, as yet imperfect, involving professionals, government and other bodies to reach consensus, set standards and monitor performance in a transparent manner in all health disciplines including the arena of public health. One important area where there is a notable lack of transparent regulatory system is international health aid. There is…
Research into purchasing health care: Time to face the challenge
Purchasing health care is at the core of the reforms of the UK NHS and yet there is little research evidence on which the policy is based. Research in this area is hampered by a lack of clarity over the aims of purchasing and the pace of change within the NHS. Purchasing developments such as general practice fund-holding are proceeding without a large scale evaluation of their impact. At a national level a research effort is required to investiga…
