Tiered manufacturing of pharmaceuticals as a commercial determinant of health
Tiered manufacturing, the practice of adapting different levels of pharmaceutical production standards to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) versus high-income countries, has not been investigated as a commercial determinant of health (CDoH), defined by the World Health Organization as a private sector activity affecting public health. This paper examines this practice and its implications for medicine quality, universal health coverage, an…
Positioning Africa’s public health doctoral students to lead societal transformation and development
The public health context is becoming increasingly more complex requiring highly trained professionals equipped with knowledge, competencies and tools to address or transform current and future challenges. Doctoral degree training offers an opportunity to build the capacity to detect and respond to such dynamic health challenges. In this paper, we discuss how Africa’s public health doctoral students can be better positioned for the different care…
Assessing the impact of integrated community case management (iCCM) programs on child mortality
AIM: To accelerate progress in reducing child mortality, many countries in sub-Saharan Africa have adopted and scaled-up integrated community case management (iCCM) programs targeting the three major infectious killers of children under-five. The programs train lay community health workers to assess, classify and treat uncomplicated cases of pneumonia with antibiotics, malaria with antimalarial drugs and diarrhea with Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS)…
Use of traditional medicine for the treatment of diabetes in Eastern Uganda
BACKGROUND: While there are biomedical drugs for managing diabetes mellitus, some patients with diabetes use traditional medicine. The aim of the study was to explore why patients with diabetes use traditional medicine for the treatment of diabetes. METHODS: The study was conducted in Iganga and Bugiri districts in Eastern Uganda using four focus group discussions (FGDs) with patients with diabetes; two with female patients and two with male pati…
Strengthening public health surveillance and response using the health systems strengthening agenda in developing countries
There is increased interest in strengthening health systems for developing countries. However, at present, there is common uncertainty about how to accomplish this task. Specifically, several nations are faced with an immense challenge of revamping an entire system. To accomplish this, it is essential to first identify the components of the system that require modification. The World Health Organization (WHO) has proposed health system building b…
Laboratory capacity building for the International Health Regulations (IHR[2005]) in resource-poor countries
Laboratory is one of the core capacities that countries must develop for the implementation of the International Health Regulations (IHR[2005]) since laboratory services play a major role in all the key processes of detection, assessment, response, notification, and monitoring of events. While developed countries easily adapt their well-organized routine laboratory services, resource-limited countries need considerable capacity building as many g…
