  • Willingness to accept paediatric blood sample collection for clinical research purposes in Nepal

    Open AccessAshata Dahal, Pratibha Oli et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    Blood sample collection is essential for clinical research but can be challenging due to cultural beliefs, emotional responses, and misconceptions. This can escalate in paediatric settings. Despite the growing landscape of clinical research, evidence from South Asia remains limited. This study explores the factors influencing willingness to accept paediatric blood sample collection for clinical research in Nepal, drawing on experiences from a cli…

  • Covid-19 vaccine acceptance and uptake in Indonesia, Nepal, and Vietnam

    Open AccessIda Ayu Sutrisni, Vy Pham-Tram et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Since 2019, the WHO has included vaccine hesitancy among the top ten threats to global health. Additionally, there is global disparity in vaccine availability and access. As part of a mixed methods study that explored COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and access across Indonesia, Nepal and Vietnam from December 2021 to June 2022, we conducted 67 in-depth interviews with purposively selected community members from both urban and rural settings. We used …

  • Factors associated with positive blood cultures in children in nine African and Asian countries

    Open AccessCristina Ardura-Garcia, Jill Hopkins et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    BACKGROUND: Blood culture (BC) in children has relatively low diagnostic yield and high contamination rates, limiting cost-effectiveness. We aimed to determine readily available baseline characteristics to identify hospitalised children with a likelihood of higher diagnostic yield in low- and middle-income countries. METHODS: We used data from ACORN2, a prospective clinical surveillance network including 19 hospitals across Africa and Asia. We in…

  • Social cohesion among healthcare workers during Covid-19

    Open AccessHa Nguyen Thanh, Ida Ayu Sutrisni et al.ARTICLESSM - Qualitative Research in…2024

    Existing literature has portrayed numerous challenges that healthcare workers (HCWs) faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as heightened risks of transmission against the scarcity of protective equipment, burgeoning workload, and emotional distress, to name a few. However, most studies explored HCWs' experiences at the individual level rather than examining the collective responses. Exploring these experiences could reveal the social-cultural …

  • The facilitators of and barriers to antimicrobial use and misuse in Lalitpur, Nepal

    Open AccessSummita Udas, Obindra Chand et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Overall, the results of this study provide a nuanced understanding of the challenges associated with antibiotic use and suggest that tailored interventions, informed by behaviour frameworks, can enhance prescription adherence, may be applicable in diverse settings and can contribute to the global effort to mitigate the rising threat of AMR

  • Use of antimicrobials during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessBinod Dhungel, Upendra Thapa Shrestha et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    The COVID-19 pandemic was a major public health threat and the pressure to find curative therapies was tremendous. Particularly in the early critical phase of the pandemic, a lot of empirical treatments, including antimicrobials, were recommended. Drawing on interviews with patients, clinicians and drug dispensers, this article explores the use of antimicrobials for the management of COVID-19 in Nepal. A total of 30 stakeholders (10 clinicians, 1…

  • Clinical and laboratory factors associated with neonatal sepsis mortality at a major Vietnamese children’s hospital

    Open AccessNguyen Duc Toan, Thomas C Darton et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Sepsis is a major cause of neonatal mortality and children born in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are at greater risk of severe neonatal infections than those in higher-income countries. Despite this disparity, there are limited contemporaneous data linking the clinical features of neonatal sepsis with outcome in LMICs. Here, we aimed to identify factors associated with mortality from neonatal sepsis in Vietnam. We conducted a prospecti…
