Covid-19 vaccine acceptance and recommendation among health workers in nine countries
INTRODUCTION: Health workers (HWs) set an example for vaccine recipients, convey vaccine benefits and risks and interface with patients at increased risk for complications in pandemic settings. We explored HWs' acceptance of and recommendation for COVID-19 vaccine with and without previous receipt of seasonal influenza vaccine (SIV) in nine countries. METHODS: In 2023-2024, cross-sectional surveys among HW were conducted in Bangladesh, Cote d'Ivo…
Covid-19 vaccination implementation in six lower- and middle-income countries
The COVID-19 pandemic challenged health systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) to rapidly deploy vaccines, target adult populations, and integrate the COVID-19 vaccine into existing vaccination programs. This evaluation examined COVID-19 vaccination implementation and planning experiences of six LMICs. We aimed to identify common strategies and investments contributing to country-level readiness to scale up COVID-19 vaccination and ga…
Opportunities and barriers arising from the Covid-19 pandemic for health campaign integration across immunizations, neglected tropical diseases, insecticide-treated bed nets, and vitamin A supplementa…
In low- and middle-income countries, health campaigns play a crucial role in addressing high-priority health concerns such as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), malaria, vaccine-preventable diseases and nutrition (vitamin A supplementation). Many health campaigns are conducted throughout the calendar year, resulting in multiple campaigns annually in some communities. Campaign integration offers an opportunity to increase efficiencies across prog…
Implementation and effectiveness outcomes of Community Health Advocacy Teams to improve long-lasting insecticide net distribution and use in six districts in Ghana
Malaria remains a leading cause of illness and death especially among children and pregnant women in Ghana. Despite the efforts made by the National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP), including distribution of Long-Lasting Insecticide Nets (LLINs) to households through periodic Point Mass Distribution (PMD) campaigns and continuous channels (antenatal, schools and postnatal), there is a gap between access and use of LLINs in Ghana. An effectiv…
A scoping review on integrated health campaigns for immunization in low- and middle-income countries
Health campaign integration is a key implementation strategy outlined by the World Health Organization to achieve universal health coverage. This scoping review synthesizes the evidence on Integrated Health Campaigns (IHC) in the field of immunization in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) regarding the most common strategies, facilitators and barriers. Four reviewers followed a systematic approach to identify, screen and analyse relevant ar…
Promising practices for the collaborative planning of integrated health campaigns from a synthesis of case studies
A combination of public health campaigns and routine primary healthcare services are used in many countries to maximise the number of people reached with interventions to prevent, control, eliminate or eradicate diseases. Health campaigns have historically been organised within vertical (disease-specific) programmes, which are often funded, planned and implemented independently from one another and from routinely offered primary healthcare servic…
Predictors of HIV Among 1 Million Clients in High-Risk Male Populations in Tanzania
The World Health Organization identified men as an essential group to target with HIV testing and treatment strategies;: men who have sex with men (MSM) and male clients of female sex workers (CFSW) account for 35% of new HIV infections globally. Using a cross-sectional design from a community-based HIV prevention project in Tanzania (October 2015-September 2018) and multivariable logistic regression, we identified predictors of HIV seropositivit…
Perspectives of basic wheelchair users on improving their access to wheelchair services in Kenya and Philippines
BACKGROUND: The United Nations has called for countries to improve access to mobility devices when needed. The World Health Organization has published guidelines on the provision of manual wheelchairs in less-resourced settings. Yet little is known about the extent to which appropriate wheelchairs are available and provided according to international guidelines. This study's purpose was to describe wheelchair users' experiences receiving services…
Wheelchair services and use outcomes
Select services that were associated with some better wheelchair use outcomes and should be emphasised in service delivery. Service providers should be aware that increased mobility may lead to serious falls
Use of a design challenge to develop postural support devices for intermediate wheelchair users
The provision of an appropriate wheelchair, one that provides proper fit and postural support, promotes wheelchair users' physical health and quality of life. Many wheelchair users have postural difficulties, requiring supplemental postural support devices for added trunk support. However, in many low- and middle-income settings, postural support devices are inaccessible, inappropriate or unaffordable. This article describes the use of the design…
Analysis of dropout across the continuum of maternal health care in Tanzania
The 'continuum of care' is proposed as a key framework for the delivery of maternal, neonatal and child health services. This study examined the extent of dropout as well as factors associated with retention across the MNCH continuum from antenatal care (ANC), through skilled birth attendance (SBA), to postnatal care (PNC).We analyzed data from 1931 women who delivered in the preceding 2-14 months, from a two-stage cluster sampling household surv…
Women's Use of Private and Government Health Facilities for Childbirth in Nairobi's. Informal Settlements
The private sector's role in increasing the use of maternal health care for the poor in developing countries has received increasing attention, yet few data exist for urban slums. Using household‐survey data from 1,926 mothers in two informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya, collected in 2006, we describe and examine the factors associated with women's use of private and government health facilities for childbirth. More women gave birth at private …
