Beyond the Demographic and Health Survey
box At the start of 2025, the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) programme was paused due to the defunding of USAID, illustrating the fragility of the international data infrastructures on which many national health systems rely
Colonial Visions and Their Rearticulations
This article examines the specific uses and meanings of medical photographs depicting skin color variation produced by Dr. Hugh Stannus Stannus in early twentieth-century colonial Malawi. The sociopolitical environments in which the images were produced and interpreted rendered Black bodies as objects of medical inquiry, and the images stood as evidence for a range of racialized scientific ideas. This article advocates for an analysis of historic…
Towards a praxis of care in post-pandemic fieldwork
The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of ensuring the wellbeing of both researchers and participants throughout the research process. In this paper, we argue that in order to produce caring research, the wellbeing of researchers must not be neglected. Using our experiences as three doctoral researchers undertaking ethnographic fieldwork during the pandemic, we consider what it means to do research which has a ‘praxis of care’ at it…
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.…
Understanding antimicrobial resistance through the lens of antibiotic vulnerabilities in primary health care in rural Malawi
The diminishing effectiveness of antimicrobials raises serious concerns for human health. While policy makers grapple to reduce the overuse of antimicrobial medicines to stem the rise of antimicrobial resistance, insufficient attention has been paid to how this applies to low-resource contexts. We provide an in-depth portrayal of antimicrobial prescribing at primary health care level in rural Chikwawa District, Malawi. Ethnographic fieldwork took…
