Association of gross domestic product with equitable access to childhood vaccines in 195 countries
Prevalence of rifampicin resistance in pulmonary tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global public health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The emergence of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis further complicates control efforts. Despite national efforts, there are limited data on the prevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and their rifampicin resistance in Ghana, especially at the facility level. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Mycobacterium tuber…
The use of the WHO criteria to detect severe malaria among patients clinically diagnosed with uncomplicated malaria
The World Health Organization (WHO) strict defining criteria were used to identify severe malaria among Ghanaian patients clinically diagnosed as uncomplicated malaria. From each study participant, blood haemoglobin (Hb) and plasma bilirubin levels were estimated using automated analyzers. According to the WHO, the criteria for diagnosing severe malaria among children ( 10,000/μL, plasma bilirubin > 50 μmol/L amidst parasitemia > 100,000/μL and P…
Knowledge and prevalence of common sexually transmitted infections among patients seeking care at selected health facilities in Southern Ghana
The burden of Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remains a public health problem that should be addressed considering its effect on society and close association with HIV. This study aimed to determine the knowledge and prevalence of common STIs and associated risk factors among adult patients seeking STI care in health facilities in Ho Municipality. This was an analytical cross-sectional study involving 178 adult clients seeking treatment fo…
Antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacterial isolates from patients attending the outpatient department of university of Cape Coast hospital, Ghana
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli ( E . coli ) is an important urinary tract infection (UTI) that has been associated with both complicated and uncomplicated disease conditions. The global emergence of multiple drug-resistant (MDR) and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) is of public health concern as the resistance limits the current treatment options. The objective of this study was to analyze the antibiotic-resistant patterns among the uropathog…
Factors Influencing HIV Status Disclosure to Partners Among Antiretroviral Therapy Clients in the Upper East Region, Ghana
Global inequity of Covid-19 diagnostics
Diagnostics for COVID-19 have advanced at an unprecedented pace over the last two years. Testing is a critical pillar of pandemic control, and is required for epidemiological tracking, treatment, and surveillance. Despite high quality SARS-CoV-2 viral diagnostic capability, there are vast global inequities in access. The Virology, Immunology, and Diagnostics Working Group(WG) of the COVID-19 Clinical Research Coalition (CRC) brings together exper…
