  • Health workforce implications of integrating NCD prevention, screening and treatment into hospital-based MNCH services

    Open AccessTéa Collins, Téa E Collins et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    Integration of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) prevention, screening and treatment into maternal, newborn and child healthcare (MNCH) services has become increasingly important as countries address the dual burden of communicable and NCDs. While global policy attention has grown, practical experiences from low- and middle-income countries on how to operationalise this integration, particularly its implications for the health workforce, remain li…

  • Private sector quality interventions to improve maternal and newborn health in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessAnne-Sophie Jung, Nuhu Yaqub et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction: The private health sector provides significant maternal and newborn health (MNH) services in mixed healthcare systems in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), making it an essential partner in achieving universal health coverage (UHC). Although some studies have mapped the private sector's activities in MNH care in LMICs, limited knowledge exists about specific quality of care interventions. This scoping review addresses th…

  • Integrating maternal, newborn, child health and non-communicable disease care in the sustainable development goal era

    Open AccessSvetlana Akselrod, Anshu Banerjee et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and maternal newborn and child health (MNCH) are two deeply intertwined health areas that have been artificially separated by global health policies, resource allocations and programming. Optimal MNCH care can provide a unique opportunity to screen for, prevent and manage early signs of NCDs developing in both the woman and the neonate. This paper considers how NCDs, NCD modifiable risk factors, and NCD metabolic r…

  • Engaging the private sector to deliver quality maternal and newborn health services for universal health coverage

    Open AccessSamantha R Lattof, Blerta Maliqi et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    The private health sector is becoming increasingly important in discussions on improving the quality of care for maternal and newborn health (MNH). Yet information rarely addresses what engaging the private sector for MNH means and how to do it. In 2019, the Network for Improving Quality of Care for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (the Network) initiated exploratory research to better understand how to ensure that the private sector delivers q…

  • Quasi-Democracy and Autocracy as Governance Systems in Nigeria An Examination

    Nuhu YaqubARTICLEJournal of global south studies2023

    Both democracy and autocracy are forms of governance systems that have been operated by humankind in the course of organizing society. They differ from one another and can hardly be combined for governance purposes without wreaking havoc in the society that does so. In some societies, there has been evidence that a historical transition from autocracy to democracy took place; the latter has since been consolidated. This is notably true in capital…

  • National learning systems to sustain and scale up delivery of quality healthcare

    Open AccessSamantha R Lattof, Blerta Maliqi et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    All around the world, health systems fail to provide good quality of care (QoC). By developing learning systems, health systems are able to better identify good practices and to explain how to sustain and scale these good practices. To facilitate the operationalisation of national learning systems, the Network for Improving Quality of Care for Maternal Newborn and Child Health (the Network) developed a conceptual framework for national learning s…

  • Scaling up comprehensive sexuality education in Nigeria

    Silvia Huaynoca, Venkatraman Chandra-Mouli et al.ARTICLESex Education2014

    Nigeria is one of few countries that reports having translated national policies on school-based comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) into near-nationwide implementation. We analysed data using the World Health Organization-ExpandNet framework, which provides a systematic structure for planning and managing the scaling up of health innovations. We examined how Nigeria's nationwide programme was designed and executed. Since 2002, Nigeria has de…
