Improving care pathways for children with severe illness through implementation of the Aspire mHealth primary Etat package in Malawi
Providing emergency care in low resource settings relies on delivery by lower cadres of health workers (LCHW). We describe the development, implementation and mixed methods evaluation of a mobile health (mHealth) triage algorithm based on the WHO Emergency, Triage, Assessment, and Treatment (ETAT) for primary-level care. We conducted an observational study design of implementation research. Key stakeholders were engaged throughout implementation.…
Determinants of neonatal mortality among hospitalised neonates with sepsis at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, Blantyre, Malawi
Neonatal sepsis-related deaths remain a significant health problem contributing to higher morbidity and mortality rates, particularly in low resource settings, such as Malawi. However, there is limited information to associate risk factors and health system factors with mortality. This study investigated the risk factors associated with mortality and explored health system factors contributing to deaths among neonates with sepsis at Queen Elizabe…
The health policy response to Covid-19 in Malawi
Malawi declared a state of national disaster due to the COVID-19 pandemic on 20th March 2020 and registered its first confirmed coronavirus case on the 2 April 2020. The aim of this paper was to document policy decisions made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic from January to August 2020. We reviewed policy documents from the Public Health Institute of Malawi, the Malawi Gazette, the Malawi Ministry of Health and Population and the University o…
Impact of a Transition from Respiratory Virus Shell Vial to Multiplex PCR on Clinical Outcomes and Cost in Hospitalized Children
While respiratory virus PCR panel (RVPP) is more expensive than shell vial (SV) cell culture, it has been shown to reduce unnecessary diagnostic procedures, decrease the inappropriate use of antimicrobials, and shorten the hospital length of stay (LOS). We therefore hypothesized that, for hospitalized children, RVPP would be associated with improved clinical outcomes but higher hospital charges than SV cell culture. We performed a retrospective c…
