Barriers to accessing high-quality cancer medicines in Cameroon. A qualitative study of the views and practices of regulators and frontline healthcare providers
Cancer has become a major public health problem in Cameroon. In 2020, 20,000 new cases and 14,000 deaths were registered. Despite its high burden, access to quality medications for this condition continues to be a persistent challenge in the country. This study assessed the perceptions and practices of key stakeholders on barriers to accessing quality anticancer medicines in Cameroon.

Modeling the economic burden of postpartum hemorrhage due to substandard uterotonics in Ghana
Uterotonics are essential in preventing postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), the leading direct cause of maternal death worldwide. However, uterotonics are often substandard in low- and middle-income countries, contributing to poor maternal health outcomes. This study examines the health and economic impact of substandard uterotonics in Ghana. A decision-tree model was built to simulate vaginal and cesarean section births across health facilities, uterot…
Educational and economic returns to cognitive ability in low- and middle-income countries
Impact of substandard and falsified antimalarials in Zambia
Eliminating substandard and falsified antimalarials is an important step towards a malaria-free Zambia. Beyond the dissemination of insecticide-treated bed nets, indoor residual spraying, and other malaria control measures, attention must also be paid to assure the quality of antimalarial treatments
Poor-quality antimalarials further health inequities in Uganda
Substandard and falsified medications are a major threat to public health, directly increasing the risk of treatment failure, antimicrobial resistance, morbidity, mortality and health expenditures. While antimalarial medicines are one of the most common to be of poor quality in low- and middle-income countries, their distributional impact has not been examined. This study assessed the health equity impact of substandard and falsified antimalarial…
