Measuring community engagement and trust in community health workers in Haiti, Malawi, and Rwanda
Background: Community health workers (CHWs) increase the accessibility of institutional health systems by building trust in communities. We assessed community members' trust in CHWs in Haiti, Malawi, and Rwanda. We explored whether potentially modifiable factors, including sex concordance between community members and CHWs and time spent by CHWs engaging with their community, are associated with increased trust in CHWs. Methods: test and explored…

The impact of Covid-19 and national pandemic responses on health service utilisation in seven low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted health services worldwide, which may have led to increased mortality and secondary disease outbreaks. Disruptions vary by patient population, geographic area, and service. While many reasons have been put forward to explain disruptions, few studies have empirically investigated their causes. OBJECTIVE: We quantify disruptions to outpatient services, facility-based deliveries, and family planning in …
Disruptions in maternal health service use during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has heterogeneously affected use of basic health services worldwide, with disruptions in some countries beginning in the early stages of the emergency in March 2020. These disruptions have occurred on both the supply and demand sides of healthcare, and have often been related to resource shortages to provide care and lower patient turnout associated with mobility restrictions and fear of contracting COVID-19 at facilities. I…
Health system reconstitution syndrome
The beginning of the 21st century was marked by the new definition and framework of health systems strengthening (HSS). The global movement to improve access to high-quality care garnered new resources to design and implement comprehensive HSS programs. In this effort, billions of dollars flowed from novel mechanisms such as The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance; and several bilateral funders. However…
Improving district facility readiness
BACKGROUND: While health systems strengthening (HSS) interventions are recommended by global health policy experts to improve population health in resource-limited settings, few examples exist of evaluations of HSS interventions conducted at the district level. In 2009, a partnership between Partners In Health (PIH), a non-governmental organization, and the Rwandan Ministry of Health (RMOH) was provided funds to implement and evaluate a district-…
