  • The precarious state of community engagement in African clinical trials

    Open AccessLuchuo Engelbert Bain, Sidney Sangong et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Community engagement (CE) is an ethical imperative for clinical trials, yet it is often treated as a peripheral activity rather than a core scientific requirement. In light of the Africa CDC’s mandate to achieve 60% local vaccine production by 2040, establishing robust community engagement frameworks within African clinical trials is vital. We systematically synthesized evidence on CE approaches, with a focus on funding and sustainability, utiliz…

  • A conceptual framework for measuring AI health equity

    Open AccessBasile Njei, Ulrick Sidney Kanmounye et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2026

    BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in health systems globally and has the potential to improve efficiency, diagnostic accuracy, and decision support. However, its benefits remain unevenly distributed, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Models developed using datasets from specific populations may perform poorly in other settings, reinforcing structural inequities rather than correcting them. O…

  • The burden of cirrhosis and other chronic liver disease in the middle east and North Africa (Mena) region over three decades

    Open AccessOmar Al Ta’ani, Wesam Aleyadeh et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    The study highlights evolving trends in cirrhosis and other chronic liver disease within the MENA region, emphasizing the necessity for comprehensive, etiology, and gender-specific interventions. Despite an increasing incidence, the observed improvements in mortality rates and age-standardized disability burden indicate progress in public health efforts to mitigate cirrhosis's impact. These findings point to the complex nature of cirrhosis outcom…
