  • Emergency preparedness and health system resilience assessment tool

    Open AccessFadi El-Jardali, Priyanka D Kanth et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    BACKGROUND: Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has been one of the most significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The escalating frequency and complexity of global health threats-from pandemics like COVID-19 to climate change-induced emergencies-have elevated the imperative for stronger and more resilient health systems in the MENA region and the world over. In this paper, we introduce a tool designed to offer a comprehensive and e…

  • The impact of the 2022 spring Covid-19 booster vaccination programme on hospital occupancy in England

    Open AccessVageesh Jain, Gabriele Kerr et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Regular booster vaccination programmes help protect the most vulnerable from COVID-19 and limit pressure on health systems. Existing studies find booster doses to be effective in preventing hospital admissions and deaths but focus on individual effects, failing to consider the population impact of incomplete vaccination coverage and seasonal patterns in disease transmission. We estimated the effectiveness of the 2022 spring booster vaccination pr…

  • Assessment of the non-communicable diseases kit for humanitarian emergencies in Yemen and Libya

    Open AccessLilian Kiapi, Ahmad Hecham Alani et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    Emergency health kits are a vital way of providing essential medicines and supplies to health clinics during humanitarian crises. The WHO non-communicable diseases (NDCs) kit was developed 5 years ago, recognising the increasing challenge of providing continuity of care and secondary prevention of NCDs and exacerbations, in such settings. Monitoring and evaluation of emergency health kits is an important process to ensure the contents are fit for…

  • Joint External Evaluation scores and communicable disease deaths

    Open AccessVageesh Jain, Ashley Sharp et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    The Joint External Evaluation (JEE) assesses national capacities to implement the International Health Regulations (IHR). Previous studies have found that higher JEE scores are associated with fewer communicable disease deaths. But given the impact of COVID-19 in many countries, including those believed to have developed IHR capacities, the validity of the JEE for pandemic preparedness has been questioned. We constructed univariable and multivari…

  • Which countries need Covid-19 vaccines the most? Development of a prioritisation tool

    Open AccessVageesh Jain, Rifat Atun et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Several factors exist, extending beyond those currently used, which may lead to some countries having a greater need for vaccines compared to others. By assessing relative needs, this scoring tool can build on existing methods to further the role of equity in global COVID-19 vaccine allocation

  • Association between democratic governance and excess mortality during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessVageesh Jain, Jonathan Clarke et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2022References: 38

    BACKGROUND: Excess mortality has been used to assess the overall health impact of COVID-19 across countries. Democracies aim to build trust in government and enable checks and balances on decision making, which may be useful in a pandemic. But during the pandemic, they have been criticised as being hesitant to enforce restrictive public health measures. METHODS: Through linking open-access datasets we constructed univariable and multivariable lin…

  • Evaluations of public health interventions produced by health technology assessment agencies

    Open AccessPascale Renée Cyr, Vageesh Jain et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy2021

    OBJECTIVES: Health technology assessments (HTAs) have been suggested as a strategy to bridge the evidence-to-policy gap in public health. It is unclear to what extent HTAs have been prepared to assist decisions to implement public health interventions (PHIs). We aimed to describe the experience of HTA agencies by mapping, classifying, and analyzing the evidence content of HTAs of PHIs. METHODS: We systematically searched databases of 35 HTA agenc…
