Factors affecting equitable access and uptake of Covid-19 vaccines in Ghana
Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emerged as one of the most serious pandemics that impacted health systems and world economies. Vaccination against the pandemic was considered as an effective tool for the prevention and containment of the virus. Following the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic, efforts were made to enhance procurement and distribution of vaccines across countries with the view to containing the pandemic. However, …
A qualitative examination of the distribution strategies, access, and equitable uptake of the Covid-19 vaccines in Kenya
Background: The WHO and international partners identified vaccination against the coronavirus as one of the important public health interventions in controlling Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) infections. The COVID-19 vaccine uptake was however low and characterized by inequitable distribution and access in Kenya. This study aimed to examine in depth the causes of inequity in vaccine uptake to inform the future rollout and successful uptake of ne…
Health indicators and poor health dynamics during Covid-19 pandemic
Is socioeconomic inequality in antenatal care coverage widening or reducing between- and within-socioeconomic groups? A case of 19 countries in sub-Saharan Africa
Maternal health statistics have improved in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Still, progress remains slow in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) targets. Accelerating antenatal care (ANC) coverage is critical to improving maternal health outcomes. To progress, countries should understand whether to target reducing health disparities between- or within-socioeconomic groups, as policies for achieving these may differ. This pa…
Income-related health inequalities associated with the coronavirus pandemic in South Africa
Given the significance and magnitude of race, hunger, income and employment in determining socioeconomic inequalities in poor health, addressing racial disparities and hunger, income inequality and unemployment will likely mitigate income-related health inequalities in South Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic
Covid19 vaccine intentions in South Africa
There are other significant differences across socio-economic and demographic variables in vaccine hesitancy. From a communication perspective, it is imperative to continue risk messaging, hand in hand with clearer information on the efficacy of the vaccines
Association Between ART Adherence and Mental Health
Decomposition of socioeconomic inequalities in cigarette smoking
While overall inequality in smoking prevalence and intensity is focused among the wealthy, the contribution of region of residence and education warrant some attention from policy makers. Based on our results, we suggest an assessment of compliance and enforcement of the Tobacco Products Control Act, that initially focuses on regions with reportedly low education statistics followed by an appropriate implementation strategy to address the challen…
Socioeconomic inequalities in maternal health service utilisation
Addressing wealth inequalities, enhancing literacy, employment and mitigating spatial impediments to health care use will reduce socioeconomic inequalities in ANC utilisation in Nigeria. These factors are the social determinants of health inequalities. Thus, a social determinants of health approach is needed to address socioeconomic inequalities in ANC coverage in Nigeria
