  • Combination interventions to control the tuberculosis epidemic in the Karamoja subregion of Uganda

    Open AccessStella Zawedde‐Muyanja, Stella Zawedde-Muyanja et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    The Karamoja subregion in northeastern Uganda is disproportionately affected by tuberculosis (TB), with an estimated TB prevalence >3 times the national average. Recently introduced health systems strengthening (HSS) interventions, including active symptom screening campaigns covering approximately 20% of the population annually, have substantially increased the number of people initiated on TB treatment, improved TB treatment completion and incr…

  • Tuberculosis screening and care delivery in pregnant and postpartum persons living with HIV in Botswana

    Open AccessMelanie M Dubois, Mackenzie Powell et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Tuberculosis (TB) disease during pregnancy, particularly in persons living with HIV (PLHIV), is associated with poor maternal and neonatal outcomes. There are barriers to TB screening and care for PLHIV in the pregnant and postpartum period given atypical clinical presentation and service delivery challenges. Our objective was to understand barriers and facilitators to TB screening and care delivery during routine antenatal and postpartum care in…

  • Tuberculosis treatment and undernutrition on Daru Island, Papua New Guinea

    Open AccessA Persson, Paula Jops et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2025Referencias: 26

    A substantial proportion of people with tuberculosis (TB)-one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases-live in resource-poor, food insecure settings. It is widely recognised that undernutrition significantly heightens vulnerability to TB, as well as contributes to poor treatment adherence and outcomes. However, more attention is needed to understand what shapes food insecurity and undernutrition in a particular setting. We use the concept of …

  • Gendered knowledge practices and human-animal-ecological health in Papua New Guinea

    Open AccessB Hegarty, Paula Jops et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2025Referencias: 21

    There have been consistent calls to incorporate gender frameworks into One Health research and policy. Men's and women's roles in relation to animals in many rural and agricultural communities may influence potential pathogen exposure and transmission patterns of zoonotic infectious diseases. However, men's and women's roles related to animals in rural societies are not static but change over time. This article draws on the results of qualitative…

  • Covid-19 outbreaks in residential aged care facilities

    Open AccessFenella McAndrew, Rachel Sacks-Davis et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction: A disproportionate number of COVID-19 deaths occur in Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs), where better evidence is needed to target COVID-19 interventions to prevent mortality. This study used an agent-based model to assess the role of community prevalence, vaccination strategies, and non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) on COVID-19 outcomes in RACFs in Victoria, Australia. Methods: The model simulated outbreaks in RACFs ov…

  • The role and value of counsellors in the treatment journeys of people with tuberculosis and their families

    Open AccessPaula Jops, John Cowan et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Combined education and counselling can contribute to person-centred care for tuberculosis (TB), improving uptake, adherence, and outcomes of treatment for TB disease and TB infection. Though strongly recommended by the World Health Organization for all people diagnosed with TB, education and counselling is not widely implemented in TB programs around the world. In 2016, a pilot TB education and counselling program, delivered by trained profession…

  • A scoping review of patient-centred tuberculosis care interventions

    Open AccessHanlie Myburgh, Dzunisani Patience Baloyi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of death globally. In 2015, the World Health Organization hailed patient-centred care as the first of three pillars in the End TB strategy. Few examples of how to deliver patient-centred care in TB programmes exist in practice; TB control efforts have historically prioritised health systems structures and processes, with little consideration for the experiences of people affected by TB. We aimed to describe ho…

  • The effects of Covid-19 lockdown measures on health and healthcare services in Uganda

    Open AccessDavid Musoke, Sarah Nalinya et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Many countries across the world instituted lockdowns as a measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19. However, these lockdowns had consequences on health systems. This study explored effects of the COVID-19 lockdown measures on health and healthcare services in Uganda. The qualitative study employed focus group discussions (FGDs), household interviews, and key informant interviews (KIIs) in both an urban (Kampala district) and rural (Wakiso distri…

  • Reasons for reductions in routine childhood immunisation uptake during the Covid-19 pandemic in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessAlexandra Cardoso Pinto, Sameed Shariq et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in a substantial decline in routine immunisation coverage in children globally, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study summarises the reasons for disruptions to routine child immunisations in LMICs. A systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42021286386) was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Six databases were searched: MEDLINE, Embase, Global Health, CINAHL…

  • Assessing the impact of regional laboratory networks in East and West Africa on national health security capacities

    Open AccessAvery League, Donewell Bangure et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    National laboratories are a fundamental capacity for public health, contributing to disease surveillance and outbreak response. The establishment of regional laboratory networks has been posited as a means of improving health security across multiple countries. Our study objective was to assess whether membership in regional laboratory networks in Africa has an effect on national health security capacities and outbreak response. We conducted a li…

  • Beyond patient delay, navigating structural health system barriers to timely care and treatment in a high burden TB setting in Papua New Guinea

    Open AccessPaula Jops, John Cowan et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2023

    Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health issue in Papua New Guinea, with incidence rates particularly high in the South Fly District of Western Province. We present three case studies, along with additional vignettes, that were derived from interviews and focus groups carried out between July 2019 and July 2020 of people living in rural areas of the remote South Fly District depicting their challenges accessing timely TB diagnosis and care; mos…

  • Accuracy of computer-aided chest X-ray in community-based tuberculosis screening

    Open AccessBrenda Mungai, Jane Rahedi Ong’ang’o et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Community-based screening for tuberculosis (TB) could improve detection but is resource intensive. We set out to evaluate the accuracy of computer-aided TB screening using digital chest X-ray (CXR) to determine if this approach met target product profiles (TPP) for community-based screening. CXR images from participants in the 2016 Kenya National TB Prevalence Survey were evaluated using CAD4TBv6 (Delft Imaging), giving a probabilistic score for …

  • Urban pandemic response

    Open AccessMatthew R Boyce, Melissa Cordoba Asprilla et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Since first being detected in Wuhan, China in late December 2019, COVID-19 has demanded a response from all levels of government. While the role of local governments in routine public health functions is well understood–and the response to the pandemic has highlighted the importance of involving local governments in the response to and management of large, multifaceted challenges–their role in pandemic response remains more undefined. Accordingly…
