Geospatial analysis of Covid-19 vaccine access in Kenya
Background: COVID-19 vaccines have reduced severe illness and mortality, yet inequitable distribution delayed rollout in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Kenya, where only 36% of adults were fully vaccinated by October 2022. While sociodemographic and attitudinal determinants of uptake are well documented, role of geographic access remain underexplored at individual level. This study assessed population coverage by travel …
Undertaking Community Engagement for a Controlled Human Malaria Infection Study in Kenya
Human infection studies (HIS) involve deliberately infecting healthy volunteers with disease-causing pathogens under controlled conditions. These studies are “controlled” by way of using specific types of pathogens, including dose, and the availability of emergency medical facilities to research volunteers. Most HIS involve diseases whose treatment is known and are done to accelerate the development of novel therapeutics such as vaccines, to addr…
Labouring’ on the frontlines of global health research
Drawing on the reflections and discussions from a special session at the 2021 Global Health Bioethics Network summer school, this paper has summarised the key challenges faced by Frontline Workers (FWs) across research sites in Africa and Asia in performing the everyday 'body work' entailed in operationalising global health research. Using a 'body work' lens, we specifically explore and map key challenges that FWs face in Africa and Asia and the …
We should be at the table together from the beginning”
Insights from stakeholders in four sub-Saharan African research institutions suggest that contemporary global health research partnerships generate considerable benefits but continue to exhibit longstanding inequities and reveal emerging tensions. Our findings suggest that long-term support targeted towards institutions and national research systems remains essential to fulfil the potential of research led from sub-Saharan Africa. High-income cou…
What makes working together work? A scoping review of the guidance on North–South research partnerships
At their best, research partnerships provide a mechanism to optimize each partner’s strengths, make scientific discoveries and achieve development goals. Each partner stands to gain from the relationship and perceives it to be fair. However, partnerships between institutions in the global North and the global South have been beleaguered by structural inequalities and power imbalances, and Northern stakeholders have been criticized for perpetuatin…
Deliberately infecting healthy volunteers with malaria parasites
Controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) studies involve the deliberate infection of healthy volunteers with malaria parasites under controlled conditions to study immune responses and/or test drug or vaccine efficacy. An empirical ethics study was embedded in a CHMI study at a Kenyan research programme to explore stakeholders’ perceptions and experiences of deliberate infection and moral implications of these. Data for this qualitative study we…
Global health inequalities and the need for solidarity
Although the world has experienced remarkable progress in health care since the last half of the 20th century, global health inequalities still persist. In some poor countries life expectancy is between 37‐40 years lower than in rich countries; furthermore, maternal and infant mortality is high and there is lack of access to basic preventive and life‐saving medicines, as well a high prevalence of neglected diseases, HIV / AIDS , tuberculosis, and…
Perceptions of the effects of armed conflict on maternal and reproductive health services and outcomes in Burundi and Northern Uganda
BACKGROUND: Armed conflict potentially poses serious challenges to access and quality of maternal and reproductive health (MRH) services, resulting in increased maternal morbidity and mortality. The effects of armed conflict may vary from one setting to another, including the mechanisms/channels through which the conflict may lead to poor access to and quality of health services. This study aims to explore the effects of armed conflict on MRH in …
War and Gender Inequalities in Health
Recent studies have found significant excess mortality in women during and immediately after armed conflicts. This article directly assesses one of the most likely explanations, namely that war negatively affects reproductive health. Armed conflicts may contribute to sustain high fertility levels through increased social insecurity, loss of reproductive health services, and lower female education. Further, war's deteriorating impact on health inf…
