Medical specialists in LMICs
BACKGROUND: Medical specialists are integral to the medical workforce and play a pivotal role in referral systems. However, in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), there is a perception that specialists often fail to align with local health needs, system capacities and Universal Health Coverage (UHC) objectives. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted in 2024 using a best-fit framework to assess the contributions of specialists to h…
Patient and provider experiences with PEN-Plus in rural Mozambique
BACKGROUND: Severe chronic noncommunicable diseases (SC-NCDs) globally present a challenge for health systems, particularly in rural settings of low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs). The Package of Essential NCD Interventions-Plus (PEN-Plus) is a strategy currently used in 14 LLMICs to effectively manage people living with SC-NCDs (PLWSC-NCDs), including in Nhamatanda, Sofala Province, Mozambique. OBJECTIVES: We are conducting a cohort…
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…
Organization of services for severe chronic Noncommunicable diseases at first-level hospitals in nine lower-income countries
Severe chronic noncommunicable diseases pose a significant health burden and challenges for health systems globally. This study aims to advance our understanding of the current organization of care for these conditions in low and lower-middle-income countries. The study was conducted as part of a baseline assessment of facilities prior to the initiation of the Package of Essential NCD Interventions -Plus (PEN-Plus) strategy, which is designed to …
Global distribution of prognostically significant pulmonary pressure indicative of pulmonary hypertension
Background: There remains a paucity of data to describe how many people worldwide are affected by pulmonary hypertension (PH), an insidious condition associated with adverse vascular remodelling, progressive heart failure, and death without proactive diagnosis and management. Methods: We combined data on the population rate of echocardiographic investigations with tricuspid regurgitant velocity (TRV) levels observed within a clinical cohort of >5…
Prevalence and associated factors of common mental disorders among internally displaced people by armed conflict in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique
Background: Humanitarian emergencies are a major global health challenge with the potential to have a profound impact on people's mental and psychological health. Displacement is a traumatic event that disrupts families and affects physical and psychological health at all ages. A person may endure or witness a traumatic incident, such as being exposed to war, and, as a result, develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There is a lack of info…
Projected burden and distribution of elevated blood pressure levels and its consequence among adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa
Background: There is minimal data on the number of adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) with elevated blood pressure (BP) at increased risk of future cardiovascular events. Combining country-specific population data with data derived from two previously conducted meta-analyses (one African-specific, one based on international cohorts), we sought to address this knowledge deficit. Methods: We used meta-analysis data from 37 926 adolescents part…
Realigning noncommunicable disease monitoring with health systems priorities in the Africa region
The African region of the World Health Organization (WHO) recently adopted a strategy aimed at more comprehensive care for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the region. The WHO’s World Health Assembly has also newly approved several ambitious disease-specific targets that raise the expectations of chronic care and plans to revise and update the NCD-Global Action Plan. These actions provide a critically needed opportunity for reflection and cours…
Tertiary prevention and treatment of rheumatic heart disease
Although entirely preventable, rheumatic heart disease (RHD), a disease of poverty and social disadvantage resulting in high morbidity and mortality, remains an ever-present burden in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) and rural, remote, marginalised and disenfranchised populations within high-income countries. In late 2021, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute convened a workshop to explore the current state of science, to i…

Research priorities for the secondary prevention and management of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease
Secondary prevention of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) involves continuous antimicrobial prophylaxis among affected individuals and is recognised as a cornerstone of public health programmes that address these conditions. However, several important scientific issues around the secondary prevention paradigm remain unresolved. This report details research priorities for secondary prevention that were developed as part…
Emotional contagion behavior in a group of young girls in a secondary school in Maputo, Mozambique
Background: Emotional Contagion Behavior (ECB), the synchronized expression of emotional symptoms among members of a group, has been observed globally. In Mozambique, there have been numerous reports of ECB in recent years. Since 2010 several girls from a secondary school in Maputo City, Mozambique exhibited ECB which involved repeated fainting spells, sometimes including verbal aggression and threats to colleagues and teachers. We conducted a st…

The prevalence of hypertension and its distribution by sociodemographic factors in Central Mozambique
Background Hypertension (HTN) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, and its prevalence has been rising in low- and middle-income countries. The current study describes HTN prevalence in central Mozambique, association between wealth and blood pressure (BP), and HTN monitoring and diagnosis practice among individuals with elevated BP. Methods The study used data from a cross-sectional, representative household survey conducted in Man…
Incorporating selected non-communicable diseases into facility-based surveillance systems from a resource-limited setting in Africa
Changes in existing surveillance tools for communicable diseases provided important data on the burden and outcomes of the selected NCD helping to identify priority areas for training and health care improvement. This information can be used to design the local NCD clinics and to strengthen the health information system in resource-limited settings in a progressive and sustainable way
The Medical Education Partnership Initiative (Mepi), a collaborative paradigm for institutional and human resources capacity building between high- and low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Collaborations among researchers based in lower and middle income countries (LMICs) and high income countries (HICs) have made major discoveries related to diseases disproportionately affecting LMICs and have been vital to the development of research communities in LMICs. Such collaborations have generally been scientifically and structurally driven by HICs. OBJECTIVES: In this report we outline a paradigm shift in collaboration, exem…
