Facility readiness for decentralized Package of Essential Noncommunicable Disease Interventions-Plus (PEN-Plus) care in nine lower-income countries
Severe chronic noncommunicable diseases (SC-NCDs) are important causes of avoidable disease burden in low- and lower-middle income countries (LLMICs) where care is often available only at tertiary, urban facilities. The Package of Essential Noncommunicable Disease Interventions – Plus (PEN-Plus) strategy aims to address gaps in access to care for SC-NCDs by integrating and decentralizing care. This study aims to assess baseline readiness of 16 fa…

OBJECTIVE: The main objective of this article is to present the research behind the new definition. METHODS: The three-phased consensus process involved he…
Effect of participation in a randomised controlled trial of an integrated palliative care intervention on HIV-associated stigma
We conducted in Kenya a mixed-methods randomised controlled trial (RCT) of a nurse-led palliative care intervention integrated with anti-retroviral therapy (ART) provision for the management of HIV. Here we report qualitative findings showing increased resistance to HIV-associated stigma among trial participants. A mixed method design was chosen to enable identification of the active ingredients of the intervention and exploration of participants…
Does being on TB treatment predict a higher burden of problems and concerns among HIV outpatients in Kenya? a cross-sectional self-report study
Tuberculosis illness is associated with uncertain outcomes, and has high prevalence among people living with HIV. The new World Health Organization's End TB strategy specifies person-centred symptom management and psychosocial support alongside treatment within its pillars and components. There is a paucity of research to inform an effective care response in Kenya in terms of self-reported outcomes. We aimed to measure the three day period intens…

Human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, lower respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, tuberculosis, malaria, and cancer are common causes of death in Kenya.
