  • The engagement of Indigenous populations in tuberculosis control – with a focus on contact tracing

    Open AccessDarelle Toki, Karyn Maclennan et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health2026

    This review highlights the lack of consistency in the engagement of Indigenous populations in published TB control efforts, as well as differences between national TB guidelines. These findings underscore the urgent need to strengthen and align national guidelines with international standards as part of progress towards TB elimination

  • Should neighbours of tuberculosis (TB) cases be prioritised for active case finding in high TB-burden settings? A prospective molecular epidemiological study

    Open AccessRaspati Cundarani Koesoemadinata, Stephen Mcallister et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    Introduction In high tuberculosis (TB)-burden countries, considerable transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tb ) likely occurs outside of households. We aimed to estimate the TB prevalence and incidence in households and neighbourhoods around known TB cases and to understand transmission patterns. Methods Household and neighbourhood contacts of pulmonary TB index cases from contiguous areas in Bandung, Indonesia, were screened and follo…

  • Determinants of adherence towards tuberculosis guidelines among Indonesian private practitioners

    Open AccessBony Wiem Lestari, Nur Afifah et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    INTRODUCTION: In high tuberculosis (TB) burden countries, the private sector manages a large proportion of initial visits by presumptive patients with TB. In Indonesia, the second largest contributor of TB cases globally, private practitioners (PPs) often do not adhere to national TB guidelines. A district public-private mix programme to mitigate this issue was started in 2019, yet engagement remains low. This study examines what affects the deci…

  • Tuberculosis care provided by private practitioners in an urban setting in Indonesia

    Open AccessBony Wiem Lestari, Panji Fortuna Hadisoemarto et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    In Indonesia, government-owned Community Health Centers (CHCs) spearhead tuberculosis (TB) care at the primary level, but a substantial proportion of individuals with pulmonary TB also seek care from Private Practitioners (PPs). However, little is known about PPs’ practice in managing patients with TB-associated symptoms. To avoid bias associated with self-administered surveys, we used standardized patients (SPs) to evaluate PPs’ adherence to the…

  • Selective under-representation of Pacific peoples in population estimates for health indicator measurements in Aotearoa New Zealand misinforms policy making

    Open AccessGerard J B Sonder, Corina Grey et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    The current use of BAP denominators for health statistics does not enable reliable monitoring of key health indicators for Pacific people. HSU denominators are also unsuitable for monitoring health. Exploring the feasibility of a real-time population register is strongly recommended as a new, transparent, way of obtaining more reliable, timely population data to guide policymaking and underpin a more equitable health system under the health refor…

  • Evaluation of Ebola virus disease surveillance system capability to promptly detect a new outbreak in Liberia

    Open AccessFulton Shannon, Luke Bawo et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    INTRODUCTION: Liberia was heavily affected by the 2014-2016 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak. With substantial investments in interventions to combat future outbreaks, it is hoped that Liberia is well prepared for a new incursion. We assessed the performance of the current EVD surveillance system in Liberia, focusing on its ability to promptly detect a new EVD outbreak. METHODS: We integrated WHO and US Centers for Disease Control and Preventio…

  • Invasive bacterial disease in young infants in rural Gambia

    Open AccessYekini A Olatunji, Yekini Olatunji et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2023

    Background: Invasive bacterial diseases (IBD) cause significant mortality in young infants. There are limited population-based data on IBD in young infants in Sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: We conducted population-based surveillance for IBD among infants aged 0-90 days in a demographic surveillance area in rural Gambia between 1 March 2011 and 31 December 2017. Infants admitted to health facilities within the study area had standardised clinical ev…

  • Citizen's Charter in a primary health‐care setting of Nepal

    Open AccessGagan Gurung, Richard Gauld et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2018

    BACKGROUND: Despite some empirical findings on the usefulness of citizen's charters on awareness of rights and services, there is a dearth of literature about charter implementation and impact on health service delivery in low-income settings. OBJECTIVE: To gauge the level of awareness of the Charter within Nepal's primary health-care (PHC) system, perceived impact and factors affecting Charter implementation. METHOD: Using a case study design, a…

  • Health seeking behaviour, health system experience and tuberculosis case finding in Gambians with cough

    Open AccessYaya Kasse, Momodou Jasseh et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2006

    The majority of people with cough in this population seek appropriate help early. Improved case detection might be achieved through the use of chest X-ray in addition to sputum smear

  • Risk factors for pulmonary tuberculosis

    Open AccessPhilip C Hill, Dolly Jackson-Sillah et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2006

    In The Gambia, household crowding and past household exposure to a known TB case are the standout risk factors for TB disease. Further research is needed to identify why risk of TB seems to differ according to ethnicity
