Oportunidades perdidas en la atención a las mujeres que son víctimas de la violencia
En este artículo examino cómo se constituye la cultura de género en el Istmo de Tehuantepec y cómo participa en el devenir de los sujetos. La metodología consiste en un acercamiento (auto)etnográfico entre tres mujeres istmeñas y la autora a partir de la trayectoria universitaria. Siguiendo a Elsa Muñiz y Michel Foucault, construí la noción de cultura de género istmeña, la cual puede entenderse como un dispositivo de poder complejo pues, por una …
Cardio4Cities
CARDIO4Cities is a multisector initiative that aims at improving cardiovascular population health in urban areas across the globe. Shared measurement systems are key to systematize reporting on progress and health outcomes and to provide comparable evidence across countries. This article documents the development of a global theory of change (TOC) and its evaluation framework (EF) to serve as scalable, global reference tool. It further describes …
Informing ICD-11 implementation
Objectives. To assess challenges and opportunities within the mortality information systems of Ecuador and Trinidad and Tobago to support the implementation of the International Classification of Diseases, 11th revision (ICD-11) coding system. Methods. We applied a qualitative approach using business process mapping, a systems thinking tool that visualizes workflows, stakeholder roles, and information flows. The study had four phases: document re…
Preparing for ICD-11 transition
Objectives. To explore the early stages of the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11) implementation in Argentina and Mexico, focusing on mortality coding, to identify essential elements and key considerations for successful adoption. Methods. Qualitative analysis was conducted using case studies from Argentina and Mexico. Data were collected through interviews, workshops, and document analysis to uncover opportunities, c…
Excess mortality during Covid-19 pandemic in Bangladesh – evidence from a rural survey
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had a profound impact worldwide. In Bangladesh, the official number of deaths for COVID-19 was around 29 000. However, many countries including Bangladesh experienced substantial underreporting of COVID-19 deaths due to lack of complete national civil registration system. This study aims to estimate excess mortality in 2020, identify risk factors, and determine leading causes of death in Banglad…
Development of the Systems Thinking for Health Actions framework
BACKGROUND: Systems thinking is an approach that views systems with a holistic lens, focusing on how components of systems are interconnected. Specifically, the application of systems thinking has proven to be beneficial when applied to health systems. Although there is plenty of theory surrounding systems thinking, there is a gap between the theoretical use of systems thinking and its actual application to tackle health challenges. This study ai…
Lessons learnt of the Covid-19 contact tracing strategy in Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan using systems thinking processes
The strategy of test, trace and isolate has been promoted and seen as a crucial tool in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. As simple as the slogan sounds, effectively implementing it turns into a complex endeavor with multiple moving parts and the need for multisector collaboration. In this study, we apply a systems thinking lens to analyse the design and implementation of the contact tracing strategy for COVID-19 in the district of Islamab…
Digital communities of practice
The building blocks of community health systems
INTRODUCTION: Almost all sub-Saharan African countries have adopted some form of integrated community case management (iCCM) to reduce child mortality, a strategy targeting common childhood diseases in hard-to-reach communities. These programs are complex, maintain diverse implementation typologies and involve many components that can influence the potential success of a program or its ability to effectively perform at scale. While tools and meth…
A health systems resilience research agenda
Health system resilience, known as the ability for health systems to absorb, adapt or transform to maintain essential functions when stressed or shocked, has quickly gained popularity following shocks like COVID-19. The concept is relatively new in health policy and systems research and the existing research remains mostly theoretical. Research to date has viewed resilience as an outcome that can be measured through performance outcomes, as an ab…
Estimating causes of death where there is no medical certification
Over the past 70 years, significant advances have been made in determining the causes of death in populations not served by official medical certification of cause at the time of death using a technique known as Verbal Autopsy (VA). VA involves an interview of the family or caregivers of the deceased after a suitable bereavement interval about the circumstances, signs and symptoms of the deceased in the period leading to death. The VA interview d…
Decentralization of birth registration to Local Government in Tanzania
BACKGROUND: In Tanzania only an estimated one-quarter of births are registered and certified. Birth registration uses a centralized system with geographic and cost barriers for families. A pilot decentralized birth registration system has been trialled in 11 of 26 regions, substantially increasing registration points, and enabling notification, registration and certification to occur in one step. OBJECTIVE: This study compares completeness of bir…
A systems approach to assessing complexity in health interventions
Complexity is inherent to any system or program. This is especially true of integrated interventions, such as integrated community case management (iCCM). iCCM is a child health strategy designed to provide services through community health workers (CHWs) within hard-to-reach areas of low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). It is comprised of many interlinked program components, processes and stakeholders. Elucidating the complexity of such prog…
Vaccine hesitancy among mobile pastoralists in Chad
Mobile pastoralist communities face specific demand side barriers to vaccination. Understanding these barriers is essential to reduce vaccine hesitancy and increase vaccination uptake. Local health systems must plan for the periodic presence of pastoralist communities in their zones of responsibility and create more mutual trust
Integrating community-based verbal autopsy into civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS)
BACKGROUND: Reliable and representative cause of death (COD) statistics are essential to inform public health policy, respond to emerging health needs, and document progress towards Sustainable Development Goals. However, less than one-third of deaths worldwide are assigned a cause. Civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems in low- and lower-middle-income countries are failing to provide timely, complete and accurate vital statistics…
