Occupational health risks and working conditions of sanitation workers in Nepal
Pickers reported the highest risk of skin cuts and dental problems. Collectors reported higher risk of skin cuts and musculoskeletal problems.

These findings indicate unequal access to preventative measures across all types of SW
Effectiveness of behavioural change interventions on primary stroke risk reduction among adults and older adults with hypertension
Stroke remains a leading global cause of death and disability, with hypertension as its most preventable risk factor.
