Undiagnosed Diabetes Mellitus and Its Predictors Among Socially Marginalized Menja Communities in Southwest Ethiopia
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder marked by a persistently high blood glucose level over a prolonged period of time linked to either defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. It is responsible for 537 million adult cases and 6.7 million deaths in 2021. However, about half of the people with diabetes go undiagnosed. Low-income and socially disadvantaged communities are the most vulnerable to the disease. Despi…
Baseline malaria prevalence at the targeted pre-elimination districts in Ethiopia
The study shows a decrease in malaria prevalence compared to the reports of previous malaria indicator surveys in the country. The finding can be used as a baseline for measuring the achievement of ongoing malaria elimination efforts. Particularly, the high prevalence of asymptomatic individuals (0.88%) in these transmission settings indicates there may be sustaining hidden transmission. Therefore, active case detection with more sensitive diagno…
Establishment of Covid-19 testing laboratory in resource-limited settings
The Coronavirus pandemic is recording unprecedented deaths worldwide. The temporal distribution and burden of the disease varies from setting to setting based on economic status, demography and geographic location. A rapid increase in the number of COVID-19 cases is being reported in Africa as of June 2020. Ethiopia reported the first COVID-19 case on 13 March 2020. Limited molecular laboratory capacity in resource constrained settings is a chall…
