Untargeted and targeted fortified balanced energy-protein (BEP) dietary supplementation during pregnancy and birth outcomes
Antenatal balanced energy-protein (BEP) dietary supplementation is a WHO recommendation in undernourished settings, but limited evidence exists on targeting individuals based on nutritional status. We assessed the impact of untargeted and targeted fortified BEP supplementation during pregnancy on birth outcomes, compared with multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) as control. In a four-arm, cluster-randomised controlled trial pregnant women rec…
Factors associated with Nugent-bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy and postpartum among women in rural northwestern Bangladesh
Community-based longitudinal data on factors linked to bacterial vaginosis (BV) during and after pregnancy in Bangladesh are limited. Using data from a rural randomized trial of vitamin A and β-carotene supplementation, we examined factors associated with Nugent-score–assessed BV. Self-collected vaginal swabs from 1,812 participants were obtained in early pregnancy, late pregnancy, and 3 months postpartum for Nugent scoring. We analyzed associati…
Covid-19 vaccine coverage among adults in Sarlahi District of Nepal in 2022
Nepal launched its COVID-19 vaccination campaign in January 2021 through the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) facility. Vaccine coverage, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), is measured using administrative-level data; however, this source is often subject to biases and limitations. We conducted a household survey in rural Sarlahi District, Nepal, to estimate COVID-19 vaccine coverage and assess associations with partic…
Communication lessons learned from the 2017 measles–rubella campaign in India
In 2017, to reduce the burden of measles and rubella, a nation-wide measles–rubella campaign was launched in India. Despite detailed planning efforts that involved many stakeholders, vaccine refusal arose in several communities during the campaign. As strategic health communication and promotion is critical in any vaccine campaign, we sought to document lessons learned from the 2017 MR campaign from a strategic health communication and promotion …
A Clinical Competency Framework for the Basic Package of Oral Care
Introduction: The basic package of Oral Care (BPOC) was developed to improve oral health care for underserved populations worldwide. However, systematic delivery of the BPOC has been difficult to achieve, and training efforts have in some cases contributed to proliferation of malpractice. Standard Competency Frameworks (CF), increasingly used in dental and medical education to improve quality assurance, have not been established to date for the B…
Change in full immunization inequalities in Indian children 12–23 months
Immunization coverage and wealth-related equality have improved nationally and in most states over the last decade in India. Targeted, context-specific interventions could help address overall wealth-related full immunization inequalities. Intensified government efforts could help in this regard, particularly in high-focus states where child mortality remains high
Sparking, supporting and steering change
Existing accountability efforts in Nigeria primarily serve as retrospective policing. To enable accountability to guide change prospectively and preemptively, we drew from a literature review to develop a framework that highlights mutually reinforcing dimensions of accountability in health systems along three counterbalancing axes. The axis of power sparks change by wielding 'sticks' that curb the potential abuse of power, but also by offering 'c…
