To address this, a Public-Private Mix (PPM) Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) model was introduced, involving community private healthcare providers and the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) to boost TB case detection rates. Methods: This impact evaluation focuses on four key interventions targeting vulnerable populations…
Non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease
Over the past decade, there have been increasing reports of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species being implicated in tuberculosis (TB) treatment failure or misdiagnosed as TB. Inadequate awareness of NTM pulmonary disease among healthcare workers (HCWs) may contribute to a low index of suspicion for patients presenting to their hospitals. In this study, we assessed the awareness of NTM pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) among front desk HCWs in Nor…
Relationship between animal health and livestock farmers’ wellbeing in Ghana
Disease-induced livestock mortalities have a significant negative effect on farmers' wellbeing, particularly in the physical and psychological domains. This suggests that veterinary service policies addressing disease risks in livestock, could contribute to improving the wellbeing of livestock dependent populations, and public food security
