Serological responses to killed oral cholera vaccine (OCV) when given 4 years after initial receipt of OCV in Cameroon
Oral cholera vaccination (OCV) is one of strategies to help control cholera with two doses recommended as initial vaccination and booster doses recommended 3–5 years later to prevent future outbreaks. There is no actual recommendation on the number of doses required during booster vaccination. An OCV campaign conducted in Mogode-Cameroon provided an opportunity to determine if revaccination four years after would induce a booster response. 350 pe…
Uptake of malaria vaccine (RTS,S/AS01) among children aged 6–24 months
Malaria vaccination using RTS,S/AS01 was introduced as part of Cameroon’s EPI to prevent malaria morbidity and mortality among children aged 6–24 months. This study aims to assess the coverage, completeness, and timeliness of this vaccine and to explore parental perceptions of children’s access to vaccination. This was a community-based, descriptive cross-sectional study targeting children aged 6–24 months and caregivers, selected by stratified r…
Beyond the pill
Female sex workers (FSWs) face elevated risks of both HIV acquisition and unintended pregnancies. While oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an established HIV prevention tool, its broader impact on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes remains unclear in real-world settings. In Cameroon, PrEP is delivered via community-based platforms where SRH services are opportunistically offered alongside HIV prevention. To assess how exposure to …
Prevalence of pregnancy, unintended pregnancy, poor pregnancy outcome and its associated factors among female sex workers in Cameroon
Among FSWs in Cameroon, younger age (< 25 years), positive pregnancy intention, and psychoactive substance use were all significantly associated with higher odds of experiencing pregnancy in the past twelve months. Additionally, unintended pregnancy more than doubled the risk of a poor pregnancy outcome (abortion or miscarriage). These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions promoting consistent contraceptive use and addres…
Factors associated with the uptake of intermittent preventive treatment for malaria during pregnancy in Cameroon
Malaria in pregnancy is a major public health concern that contributes to a significant increase in maternal and child mortality and morbidity. Intermittent preventive treatment of malaria during pregnancy using sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) is a key intervention recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and implemented in Cameroon to reduce the morbidity associated with malaria during pregnancy. This study aimed to assess the dist…
Timeliness and missed opportunities for vaccination among children aged 0 to 23 months in Dschang health district, West region, Cameroon
Missed opportunities for vaccination (MOV) reflect quality of immunization service. The objective of this study was to assess vaccination timeliness, prevalence, and characteristics of MOVs among children aged 0–23 months, as well as knowledge, attitude and practice of health workers towards immunization. An exit interview method was used to select caregivers and health personnel. Selection took place in 26 health facilities within 14 health area…
Chronic diseases and mortality among hospitalised Covid-19 patients at Bafoussam Regional Hospital in the West region of Cameroon
Reducing mortality among COVID-19 cases is a major challenge for most health systems worldwide. Estimating the risk of preexisting comorbidities on COVID-19 mortality may promote the importance of targeting at-risk populations to improve survival through primary and secondary prevention. This study was conducted to explore the contribution of exposure to some chronic diseases on the mortality of COVID-19. This was a case control study. The data w…
The declining trend in HIV prevalence from population-based surveys in Cameroon between 2004 and 2018
The observed decline in HIV prevalence is statistically valid and reflects the observed decline in risky sexual behaviour that need to be sustained by the National HIV programme. Though universal access to ART has increased the number of persons surviving with HIV, this has not led to an increased prevalence of HIV in a setting with a rising population
An innovative approach in monitoring oral cholera vaccination campaign
It is feasible to plan and implement coverage survey after first round OCV campaign and use its results for the better planning of the second round. For the present study, this is associated to the improvement of OCV coverage in the second-round vaccination. If this is persistent in other contexts, it may apply to improve coverage of any health campaign that is organized in more than one round
Distribution of sources of household air pollution
Wood is the main cooking fuel in both peri-urban and rural communities in the Dschang Health District. Supporting households (especially those with limited resources) to adopt LPG equipment for cooking, and use in a more exclusive way is required to help reduce household air pollution
EPI immunization coverage, timeliness and dropout rate among children in a West Cameroon health district
Documented immunization coverage, dropout rate and timeliness in Foumban Health district are lower than that targeted by the Cameroon EPI. Competent health authorities have to take necessary actions to ensure the implementation of national guidelines with regards to children access to immunization. Also, studies have to be conducted to identify determinants of low immunization coverage and delays in immunization schedules as well as high dropout …
Map of biomedical research in Cameroon; a documentary review of approved protocols from 1997 to 2012
BACKGROUND: Over the last decade, there has been a rapid increase in biomedical research in Cameroon. However, the question of whether these research projects target major health priorities, vulnerable populations and geographic locations at risk remains to be answered. The aim of this paper is to describe the state of biomedical research in Cameroon which is a key determinant that would guide future health care policies and promote equitable acc…
The expanded program on immunization service delivery in the Dschang health district, west region of Cameroon
The frequency and strategic provision of immunization services in the Dschang Health district is inadequate. Resource availability for an adequate provision of immunization services is insufficient. The knowledge of health personnel on vaccine management, cold chain management and on diseases under surveillance by the EPI is limited
Training Needs Assessment in Research Ethics Evaluation Among Research Ethics Committee Members in Three African Countries
Background: As actors with the key responsibility for the protection of human research participants, Research Ethics Committees (RECs) need to be competent and well‐resourced in order to fulfil their roles. Despite recent programs designed to strengthen RECs in Africa, much more needs to be accomplished before these committees can function optimally. Objective: To assess training needs for biomedical research ethics evaluation among targeted coun…
Risk Factors for Transmission of HIV in a Hospital Environment of Yaoundé, Cameroon
Risk factors for HIV transmission within a hospital setting were assessed using pre-structured questionnaires and observations. Of 409 respondents, 66.3% corresponded to the nursing staff, 14.4% doctors and 8.3% laboratory staff. The irregular use of gloves and other protective clothing for risky tasks, and recapping of needles after use were some of the risk factors identified, especially amongst nurses. Preventive measures were not always imple…
