  • Estimated cost-savings from integrated care for HIV, diabetes and hypertension in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessGerard Joseph Abou Jaoude, Sokoine Kivuyo et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2025

    Background In a cluster-randomised trial in Uganda and Tanzania, we showed that integrated management, compared with standard vertical care, could achieve a high standard of care for diabetes and hypertension without adversely affecting outcomes for HIV. However, evidence on the value for money of integrated care is needed to inform policy.Objective Our economic evaluation aimed to establish the value for money of integrated care compared with ve…

  • Scaling up integrated care for HIV and other chronic conditions in routine health care settings in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessFaith Moyo, Josephine Birungi et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023Cited by: 3

    Evidence on the benefits of integrated care remains limited. More robust evidence will be essential to guide scale-up beyond research sites

  • Prevalence of microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes in low-and-middle-income countries

    Open AccessFaith Aikaeli, Tsi Njim et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    There is an excessive burden of diabetes complications in low-resource settings. We conducted a systematic review to determine the nature and frequency of diabetes complications in newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. A systematic search was performed using Medline, CINAHL and Global Health online databases from inception to July 2020. Articles reporting prevalence of microvascular or macrovascular complications within six months of type 2 diabe…

  • Complexities in Defining the Unit of Intervention for Reactive Community-Based Malaria Treatment in the Gambia

    Open AccessFatou Jaiteh, Joan Muela Ribera et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    With significant declines in malaria, infections are increasingly clustered in households, or groups of households where malaria transmission is higher than in surrounding household/villages. To decrease transmission in such cases, reactive interventions target household members of clinical malaria cases, with the intervention unit (e.g., the “household/s”) derived from an epidemiological and operational perspective. A lack of unanimity regarding…

  • The Community Lab of Ideas for Health

    Open AccessYoriko Masunaga, Fatou Jaiteh et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Background: Community participation in global health interventions may improve outcomes and solve complex health issues. Although numerous community participatory approaches have been developed and introduced, there has been little focus on “how” and “who” to involve in the implementation of community-based clinical trials where unequal distribution of power between implementers and communities pre-exists. Addressing how to achieve community-base…

  • Integration of non-communicable disease and HIV/Aids management

    Open AccessOlukemi Adeyemi, Mary Lyons et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: Low-income and middle-income countries are struggling to manage growing numbers of patients with chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), while services for patients with HIV infection are well established. There have been calls for integration of HIV and NCD services to increase efficiency and improve coverage of NCD care, although evidence of effectiveness remains unclear. In this review, we assess the extent to which National HIV …

  • Ethical issues in intervention studies on the prevention and management of diabetes and hypertension in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessElizabeth Shayo, Elizabeth H Shayo et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    Conducting intervention studies in Africa, where medicines supply for chronic conditions is inequitable and patchy, raises major ethical issues. \n \nHere we discuss what should the ethical approach be for a research programme in terms of provision of a steady and sustainable supply of medicines for patients with diabetes and hypertension

  • Community sensitization and decision‐making for trial participation

    Open AccessSusan Dierickx, Arghya Bandopadhyay et al.ARTICLEDeveloping World Bioethics2018

    Community sensitization is effective in providing first-hand, reliable information to communities as the information is cascaded to those who could not attend the sessions. However, further research is needed to assess how the informal spread of information further shapes people's expectations, how the process engages with existing social relations and hierarchies (e.g. local political power structures; permissions of heads of households) and how…
