  • Human capital and lifetime income gains of scaling-up small-quantity lipid nutrient supplements among children under 2 years

    Open AccessNandita Perumal, Goodarz Danaei et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Undernutrition in early childhood is associated with adverse health and developmental outcomes later in life and remains a persistent global public health problem. Providing small-quantity lipid nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) to children aged 6-24 months improves child growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes, but the potential long-term benefits to human capital have not been previously estimated. We estimated the potential returns to schooling and…

  • Coverage of policies to improve antimicrobial stewardship in human medicine in low and middle income countries

    Open AccessKyaw Zay Ya, Mark Lambiris et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    In many LMICs, despite the existence of policies aimed at slowing down the spread of AMR, there are still significant gaps in their implementation and enforcement. Increased national efforts in the areas of enforcement and monitoring of antibiotic use as well as regular monitoring of national efforts are urgently needed to reduce inappropriate antibiotic use in LMICs and to slow the spread of AMR globally

  • Starting at the community

    Open AccessNina C Brunner, Aliya Karim et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Community health workers (CHW) usually refer children with suspected severe malaria to the nearest public health facility or a designated public referral health facility (RHF). Caregivers do not always follow this recommendation. This study aimed at identifying post-referral treatment-seeking pathways that lead to appropriate antimalarial treatment for children less than five years with suspected severe malaria. An observational study in Uganda e…

  • Prereferral rectal artesunate and referral completion among children with suspected severe malaria in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria and Uganda

    Open AccessNina C Brunner, Elizabeth Omoluabi et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    INTRODUCTION: Children who receive prereferral rectal artesunate (RAS) require urgent referral to a health facility where appropriate treatment for severe malaria can be provided. However, the rapid improvement of a child's condition after RAS administration may influence a caregiver's decision to follow this recommendation. Currently, the evidence on the effect of RAS on referral completion is limited. METHODS: An observational study accompanied…

  • Community access to rectal artesunate for malaria (Caramal)

    Open AccessChristian Lengeler, C Burri et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    The key to reducing malaria deaths in highly endemic areas is prompt access to quality case management. Given that many severe cases occur at peripheral level, rectal artesunate (RAS) in the form of suppositories was developed in the 1990s, allowing for rapid initiation of life-saving antimalarial treatment before referral to a health facility with full case management capabilities. One randomized controlled trial published in 2009 showed a prote…

  • Large gains in schooling and income are possible from minimizing adverse birth outcomes in 121 low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessMia M Blakstad, Nandita Perumal et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    While the global contributions of adverse birth outcomes to child morbidity and mortality is relatively well documented, the potential long-term schooling and economic consequences of adverse birth outcomes has not been estimated. We sought to quantify the potential schooling and lifetime income gains associated with reducing the excess prevalence of adverse birth outcomes in 121 low- and middle-income countries. We used a linear deterministic mo…
