Advancing AI and data science for health in Africa
Background: Africa faces a shortage of health data scientists. Despite bearing 25% of the global disease burden, it has only 3% of the world's healthcare workforce and even less health data science expertise. As artificial intelligence and data science transform global healthcare, from disease surveillance to precision medicine, this capacity gap poses a significant threat to Africa's ability to address its health challenges and harness its growi…
A systematic review investigating emerging trends between Extreme Weather Events (EWEs) and infectious disease outbreaks in South Africa
Introduction: Extreme weather events (EWEs) are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change, exacerbating health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations. Infectious diseases are climate-sensitive, yet microbial dynamics during and after EWEs remain poorly understood. This systematic review examines if there are emerging trends and associations in infectious disease outbreaks and health care following EWEs in South Africa. M…

Operational manager’s knowledge and attitudes toward data and universal health coverage indicators in primary health clinics in Ugu, South Africa
Universal health coverage (UHC) aims to ensure people have access to the health services they need. Sixteen tracer indicators were developed for implementation by countries to measure UHC in the health system. South Africa uses 15 of the proposed 16 indicators. Operational managers in the public health care sector collect data and report on these indicators at a primary health clinic level. This qualitative study explored the knowledge and attitu…

My partner was not fond of using condoms and I was not on contraception”
The findings of this study will contribute to a better understanding of adolescent mothers' perspectives of sexual risk behaviour. In the subject matter of sexual and reproductive health, adolescents' autonomy with respect to cultural and social recommendations should not be sidelined. Due to their vulnerability, adolescent women are exposed to transactional sex, and it is particularly due to poverty that adolescent women are driven into sexual r…
Knowledge, attitudes and peer influences related to pregnancy, sexual and reproductive health among adolescents using maternal health services in Ugu, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Adolescents' knowledge of pregnancy and sexual and reproductive health was deficient as, even with repeat pregnancies, these adolescents were evidently no better informed about pregnancy and sexual and reproductive health. This suggests that social determinants, modes and platforms regarding the delivery of adolescent sexual and reproductive health education are important. An innovative mode to the delivery of sexual and reproductive health educa…

Association between South African high-school learners’ knowledge about tuberculosis and their intention to seek healthcare
BACKGROUND: South Africa has one of the highest prevalence of tuberculosis (TB). Addressing awareness among school learners on TB transmission and prevention may assist in reducing the disease burden. OBJECTIVE: We report on factors associated with high-school learners' intentions to seek healthcare for TB. DESIGN: A survey testing TB symptoms, transmission, prevention knowledge, and intention to seek and adhere to treatment was conducted among 1…
Personal Constructs of Fluency
The personal construct systems relating to fluency of a group of five stutterers and a group of five nonstutterers were examined using the repertory grid technique. The results support findings that stereotypical notions about stuttering were characteristic of both stutterers and nonstutterers and did not support Fransella's 1972 assumption that constructs relating to fluency differ in the communication subsystems of stutterers and nonstutterers
