Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of healthcare providers in pre-hospital care in Nepal
Introduction Pre-hospital emergency care is crucial for improving patient outcomes, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where trauma is a leading cause of death. In Nepal, inadequate pre-hospital care contributes to approximately 16,600 preventable deaths annually. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of healthcare providers in pre-hospital care to identify factors influencing their preparedness. Me…
Optimising scale and deployment of community health workers in Sierra Leone
BACKGROUND: Little is known about strategies for optimising the scale and deployment of community health workers (CHWs) to maximise geographic accessibility of primary healthcare services. METHODS: We used data from a national georeferenced census of CHWs and other spatial datasets in Sierra Leone to undertake a geospatial analysis exploring optimisation of the scale and deployment of CHWs, with the aim of informing implementation of current CHW …
Evaluation of Drinking Water Quality and Bacterial Antibiotic Sensitivity in Wells and Standpipes at Household Water Points in Freetown, Sierra Leone
Water quality surveillance can help to reduce waterborne diseases. Despite better access to safe drinking water in Sierra Leone, about a third of the population (3 million people) drink water from unimproved sources. In this cross-sectional study, we collected water samples from 15 standpipes and 5 wells and measured the physicochemical and bacteriological water quality, and the antimicrobial sensitivity of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in two commu…
Understanding why HIV-infected persons disengaged from pre-ART care in Freetown, Sierra Leone
In countries that have not implemented universal antiretroviral treatment (ART), loss to follow-up (LTFU) during pre-ART care remains a problem. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 41 HIV-infected persons who were LTFU during pre-ART care from a prospective cohort of persons newly diagnosed with HIV infection in Freetown, Sierra Leone, in 2012-2013. Interviews determined whether the participant disengaged or transferred care and explored…
Causes of hospitalization and predictors of HIV-associated mortality at the main referral hospital in Sierra Leone
HIV-infected patients account for a substantial proportion of admissions at Connaught Hospital, with a high morbidity and in-hospital mortality burden. These findings necessitate the implementation of specific measures to enhance early HIV diagnosis and expand treatment access to all HIV-infected patients in Sierra Leone
