Covid-19 Surveillance Data
Our primary objective is to improve COVID-19 metrics to enhance the quality of COVID-19 surveillance-an urgent need raised by several authors in professional and general media.1-5 We offer specific suggestions on how pandemic surveillance metrics can be better reported to improve the quality of analytical epidemiology. Health care providers and public health practitioners may find these criteria useful when conducting analyses, and students may b…

Non-communicable diseases and human rights
The incorporation of human rights in health policy and programmes is known to strengthen responses to health problems and help address disparities created or exacerbated by illness yet this remains underexplored in relation to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Aiming to understand existing synergies and how they might be further strengthened, we assessed the extent to which human rights are considered in global NCD policies and strategies and the…

Noncommunicable Diseases and Human Rights
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have finally emerged onto the global health and development agenda. Despite the increasingly important role human rights play in other areas of global health, their contribution to NCD prevention and control remains nascent. The recently adopted Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of NCDs 2013–2020 is an important step forward, but the lack of concrete attention to human rights is a missed opportunity…

The Prevalence of Depression Among Men Living With HIV Infection in Vietnam
Objectives. We assessed the prevalence of depression among men living with HIV infection in Vietnam and compared the findings with those from a general population survey of Vietnamese men. Methods. Between November 2007 and April 2008, 584 participants completed a structured questionnaire in Vietnamese that measured self-reported depression. We used the χ 2 test to detect differences in prevalence rates within HIV populations and between our resp…

A rights-based approach to the assessment of global health initiatives
Human rights, health and development
Human rights, health and development represent interdependent sets of values, aspirations and disciplines. Drawing on these domains, this paper offers a theoretical and practical framework for the analysis, application and assessment of health, justice and progress. It provides a simple conceptual framework illustrating the interdependence of these domains and highlights their key features and underlying principles. It then describes the reciproc…
Preparedness for Infectious Threats
With the emergence of epidemic Neisseria meningitidis W135 meningitis in Burkina Faso during early 2002, the public health community was faced with the challenge of providing access to an appropriate and affordable vaccine in time for the upcoming 2003 epidemic season. Recognizing the implications of the emergent threat, the World Health Organization developed a strategy, established a public–private partnership to provide the needed vaccine, and…
Of Public Health, Policy, Politics, and Trees
If the Earth were flat and human logic followed a linear scale, one would expect the public health machinery to be promptly alerted to new threats; build evidence of these threats’ nature, magnitude, and causes; suggest remedies; and help frame effective public health responses, which, in turn, would be open to a democratic political debate responsive to the evidence set forth. Political fine tuning, along with leadership commitment, resource all…
Placing ethics in the centre
Issues of power and consent, confidentiality, trust, and benefit, risks to researchers, and potential harm to participants, are all contested when working with different cultures and within environments marked by violence and insecurity. Difficulty resolving these dilemmas may paralyse ethics committees, may fail to give the guidance sought by researchers, and will not help populations who are among the world's most vulnerable. Even where efforts…
How Uganda Reversed Its HIV Epidemic
Uganda is one of only two countries in the world that has successfully reversed the course of its HIV epidemic. There remains much controversy about how Uganda's HIV prevalence declined in the 1990s. This article describes the prevention programs and activities that were implemented in Uganda during critical years in its HIV epidemic, 1987 to 1994. Multiple resources were aggregated to fuel HV prevention campaigns at multiple levels to a far grea…

Jonathan Mann
The article looks at the life and death of Jonathan Mann, founder of the health and human rights movement. During the 1980s Mann and his family moved to what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo where he helped gather epidemiological, clinical, and biomedical evidence on HIV and AIDS in an African context. Later Mann jointed the World Health Organization and spearheaded the development of the first global strategy on HIV/AIDS, mobilized in…

Responding to HIV/Aids
The history of the response to HIV/AIDS has developed in four phases. The first global AIDS strategy by WHO in 1986-87 defined HIV/AIDS in terms of individual risk behaviors. Specification of risk behaviors as a central concern led to risk-reduction programs which were designed to change individual behaviors. As the individual behavior based approach to prevention developed concerns regarding societal behaviors arose. Insights on how to analyze a…
Children Confronting HIV/Aids
From a child rights perspective, HIV/AIDS serves to illuminate how cultural norms and legal precepts facilitate or constrain the protection of the child from HIV infection and from its individual and collective impacts. Recognition of human rights in the design, implementation, and evaluation of governmental policy can point the way toward actions which are not only necessary but, in public health terms, most effective. This article summarizes th…

Assessing and planning home-based care for persons with Aids
The HIV/AIDS pandemic continues to gather momentum in many developing countries, increasing the already heavy burden on health care facilities. As a result, donors, implementing partners and communities are beginning to create home-based care programmes to provide care for persons with HIV/AIDS. This paper recommends reorienting this home care provision as a service founded in, and coming from, the community rather than the health system. A metho…

The Shifting HIV/Aids Paradigm
In just a few months, we will have known about the AIDS pandemic for 20 years. Initially, the HIV epidemics, and the official public responses to them, were defined through a medical paradigm traditionally applied to infectious disease control. If people were aware of risks and were given the means to protect themselves from these risks, it was believed, the epidemics would be tamed. Safe sexual practices, the screening of blood and blood product…
