Survival and predictors of mortality among adults with type 2 diabetes at a teaching hospital in Ghana
Mortality rates remain high among individuals with type 2 diabetes. The rising cases of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) have negatively impacted society’s development, health and have impoverished individuals. T2DM among other types has the highest prevalence among all populations. The rising prevalence of diabetes in Ghana has become a serious public health concern. It demands extensive research to identify factors that need public health action to impro…
Promoting lifestyle medicine research in Ghana
The rapid rise in urbanization across many African countries is contributing to the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in both adults and children and presents a significant challenge to health services across the continent. In May 2023, a 2-day workshop was held in Ghana, coordinated by the Centre for Lifestyle Medicine and Behaviour (CLiMB) at Loughborough University and in collaboration with partners from three Ghanaian …
Determinants, barriers, and facilitators of healthcare access for patients with hypertension in rural Ghana
BACKGROUND: Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseasemorbidity and mortality, affecting 25% of adults in Ghana. Access to adequate care is critical for effective hypertension management. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate healthcare utilisation among patients with hypertension and identify determinants. METHODS: Guided by the Andersen and Newman model, we examined predisposing, enabling, and need factors affecting HCU. Data were collected f…
Occupational accidents among fisherfolks in the Western Region of Ghana
Fisherfolk working in coastal communities face several occupational hazards, such as poor safety infrastructure and exposure to environmental pollutants. These conditions are often worsened in regions near oil and gas operations. Despite the high-risk nature of their work, there is limited research, particularly in Ghana, on the specific health and safety challenges these fishermen encounter. This study assessed occupational accidents among fishe…
Country-Specific Roadmaps for Scaling Up Integrated Care in Belgium, Slovenia, and Cambodia – Lessons Learned from the SCUBY Project
Introduction: The SCUBY project aimed to provide knowledge on the scaling-up of an Integrated Care Package (ICP) for type 2 diabetes and hypertension across three distinct health systems (Cambodia, Slovenia, and Belgium). Here, we analyse the different elements of the country-specific scale-up roadmaps to identify similarities and differences, and share lessons learned. Methods: Thematic analysis was used to derive crucial roadmap elements from k…
Process Evaluations for the Scale-Up of Complex Interventions – a Scoping Review
Introduction: Complex health interventions (CHIs) are common in (public) health and social care practice and policy. A process evaluation (PE) is an essential part of designing and testing CHIs and questions what is implemented, the mechanisms of change, and how context affects implementation. The scale-up of CHIs is challenging and heterogeneous, making the accompanying PE unique to the nature of the inquiry. Methods: We conducted a scoping revi…
Unravelling the Belgian cascade of hypertension care and its determinants
Our results show that undiagnosed hypertension is the most significant barrier to BP control in Belgium. Health interventions are thus needed to improve the accurate and timely diagnosis of hypertension. Once diagnosed, the Belgian health system retains patients fairly well along the continuum of hypertension care, yet targeted health interventions to improve hypertension management for high-risk groups remain necessary, especially with regard to…
Using the multiple streams model to elicit an initial programme theory
INTRODUCTION: The 'SCale-Up diaBetes and hYpertension care' Project aims to support the scale-up of integrated care for diabetes and hypertension in Cambodia, Slovenia and Belgium through the co-creation, implementation and evaluation of contextualised roadmaps. These roadmaps offer avenues for action and are built on evidence as well as stakeholder engagement in policy dialogues. Roadmaps and policy dialogues are very much intertwined and consid…
Process evaluations for the scale-up of complex interventions – A scoping review
Background: Process evaluation (PE) is an essential part of testing and adapting complex health interventions (CHIs) and involves evaluating what is implemented (and how), mechanisms of change, and how context affects implementation and health outcomes. To address complex health needs, the focus is on developing new CHIs, rather than on adapting and scaling up existing interventions to promote stronger integration, increased population coverage, …
Cardiovascular Risk Estimation Based on Country-of-Birth- and Country-of-Residence-Specific Scores among Migrants in the Netherlands
disparities exist in the use of the country-of-residence-specific, as compared to the country-of-birth, risk algorithms among ethnic minorities living in the Netherlands. Hence, there is a need for further validation of country-of-residence- and country-of-birth-adjusted scores to ascertain appropriateness and reliability
Cross-country lessons from the SCUBY project on country-specific roadmaps for scaling up integrated care in Belgium, Slovenia, and Cambodia
Background: The aim of the SCUBY project was to provide evidence on the scaling up of an Integrated Care Package (ICP) for type II Diabetes (T2D) and hypertension (HT) across three distinct health systems (Cambodia, Slovenia, and Belgium) through the development and implementation of country-specific roadmaps for a national scale-up strategy. Harnessing mixed-methods research and stakeholder engagement informed the development of country-specific…
Scaling up integrated care
Background: The ‘SCale-Up of diaBetes and hYpertension care’ (SCUBY) project aims to support the scale-up of integrated care for diabetes and hypertension in Cambodia, Slovenia, and Belgium through the co-creation, implementation, and evaluation of contextualized roadmaps. These roadmaps offer avenues for action and are built on evidence as well as stakeholder engagement in policy dialogues. These two implementation strategies – roadmaps and poli…
Developing and testing an Evaluation Strategy for Integrated care for Type II Diabetes in three health system contexts (Belgium, Cambodia and Slovenia)
Introduction: Primary health care (PHC) systems across the globe are struggling to produce an effective response to the rising burden of disease related to Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). However, effective T2D care at the PHC level – the ‘Integrated Care Package (ICP)’– exists and is cost-effective. Further, there is evidence that this integrated care package ((1) structure) leads to improved care processes (2), to health care responsive to people’s need…
Availability and Affordability of Primary Health Care Among Vulnerable Populations in Urban Kumasi Metropolis
Purpose: Health-related expenditures pose a significant burden on vulnerable populations. This study assessed the availability and affordability of primary health care among disadvantaged populations in urban Kumasi Metropolis, Ghana. Methods: =710) constituting the older adults/aged, pregnant women, head porters, sex workers, and other vulnerable groups (people with disabilities and the homeless).

Association between Practising Religion and Cardiovascular Disease Risk among Ghanaian Non-Migrants and Migrants in Europe
(1) Background: Sub-Saharan African migrants residing in high-income countries are more affected by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and associated risk factors than host populations for unclear reasons. The aim was to explore the associations of religion and religious affiliations with CVD risk among Ghanaian non-migrants and migrants in Europe. (2) Methods: The 10-year CVD risk was estimated using pooled cohort equations for 3004 participants fro…
Scale-up integrated care for diabetes and hypertension in Cambodia, Slovenia and Belgium (SCUBY)
Health systems worldwide struggle to manage the growing burden of type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Many patients receive suboptimal care, especially those most vulnerable. An evidence-based Integrated Care Package (ICP) with primary care-based diagnosis, treatment, education and self-management support and collaboration, leads to better health outcomes, but there is little knowledge of how to scale-up. The Scale-up integrated care for diabetes a…
Incentives to yield to Obstetric Referrals in deprived areas of Amansie West district in the Ashanti Region, Ghana
Clients' perceptions about severity of health condition and low income remain barriers to seeking healthcare and disincentives to honour obstetric referrals in a setting with inequitable access to healthcare. Implementing social interventions could improve the situation and help attain maternal health targets in deprived areas
Health insurance in Ghana
NHIS has come to stay with clients testifying to its benefits in keeping them strong and healthy. Efforts therefore must be put in by all stakeholders including the community to educate the individuals on the benefits of health insurance to ensure all have optimal access
Knowledge, perceptions and expectations of capitation payment system in a health insurance setting
Although awareness of the capitation was high among clients, attitudes towards the capitation payment system were somewhat poor. A good understanding of the capitation payment system is key to ensuring client and provider acceptance and smooth implementation of the system
