Impact of HIV-related stigma on quality of life among people with HIV
HIV-related stigma affects the well-being and quality of life of people with HIV (PHIV). To evaluate the impact of HIV-related stigma on the quality of life among PHIV in Dar es Salaam, we conducted a qualitative study between December 2021 and June 2022. We enrolled participants in the Dar es Salaam Urban Cohort Study who were from the Ilala Municipality of Dar es Salaam. Using a semi-structured discussion guide, three focus group discussions (F…
Strengthening global partnerships for sustainable sickle cell disease care
BACKGROUND: Addressing sickle cell disease (SCD) is crucial for achieving health-related Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in Africa. The region is significantly affected, with 78.7% of patients with SCD residing in sub-Saharan Africa and over 515 000 newborns diagnosed annually. Historically, African health systems have struggled to provide optimal care for patients with SCD, resulting in high under-5 mortality and severe childhood mor…
Challenges of data quality for the management of prostate cancer in Tanzania
Data quality in clinical notes is crucial for providing quality prostate cancer services, especially in countries with weak health systems and a growing burden of non-communicable diseases like prostate cancer. Poor data quality can lead to inefficient services, delayed treatment, and compromised patient outcomes. The objective of this study was to examine the quality of clinical notes for prostate cancer patients treated at five tertiary hospita…

Exploring the mechanisms behind HIV drug resistance in sub-Saharan Africa
Interconnectedness of the three subsystems underlines the need to act on the entire system of factors surrounding HIVDR in sub-Saharan Africa in order to target interventions and to prevent unwanted effects on other parts of the system. The three theories that emerged while studying HIVDR as a complex adaptive system form a starting point for further qualitative and quantitative investigation
A Baseline Evaluation of Bioinformatics Capacity in Tanzania Reveals Areas for Training
Due to the insufficient human and infrastructure capacity to use novel genomics and bioinformatics technologies, Sub-Saharan Africa countries have not entirely ripped the benefits of these technologies in health and other sectors. The main objective of this study was to map out the interest and capacity for conducting bioinformatics and related research in Tanzania. The survey collected demographic information like age group, experience, seniorit…
Predictors of electronic health management information system for improving the quality of care for women and people with disabilities
The electronic Hospital management Information System (eHMIS) can improve care for vulnerable patients, help collect important disability and maternal health data, and improve the hospital’s overall data management. This study assessed the use of HMIS and factors influencing the usage and behavioral intentions to use the eHMIS at the Comprehensive Community Based Rehabilitation in Tanzania (CCBRT). We investigated both clinical and non-clinical s…
Assessment of Implementation of Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance and Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs in Tanzanian Health Facilities a Year After Launch of the National Action Plan
Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a current global health threat and a challenge to the treatment of infectious diseases. The WHO advocates a strategy of antibiotic stewardship programs (ASP) in optimizing antimicrobial use in hospitals. The assessment of the local ASP implementation is critical for monitoring ASP activities. This study aimed at assessing the existence of hospital AMR surveillance and ASP implementation in hospitals …
Pharmacy refill adherence outperforms self-reported methods in predicting HIV therapy outcome in resource-limited settings
Pharmacy refill has the potential to predict virological failure and to identify patients to be considered for viral load monitoring and HIVDR testing in RLS
Gender differences in HIV disease progression and treatment outcomes among HIV patients one year after starting antiretroviral treatment (ART) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
We observed women were starting treatment at a less advanced disease stage, but they had a lower socioeconomical status. After one year, both men and women had similar clinical and immunological conditions. It is not clear why women lose their immunological advantage over men despite a better virological treatment response. We recommend continuous follow up of this and more cohorts of patients to better understand the underlying causes for these …
