Health and well-being of older adults in rural and urban Rwanda
Background: Ageing often leads to multimorbidity, frailty, and disability; these interconnected conditions significantly impact quality of life (QoL) and strain healthcare systems through increased dependency and care needs. Despite their importance for health system planning, they remain understudied in Rwanda's older population. Here we describe the epidemiology of these outcomes in Rwanda's ageing population. Methods: We conducted a cross-sect…
Ten years of ear, nose and throat (ENT) services in Southern Africa
BACKGROUND: While ear, nose, and throat (ENT) diseases are a substantial threat to global health, comprehensive reviews of ENT services in Southern Africa remain scarce. OBJECTIVE: This scoping review provides a decade-long overview of ENT services in Southern Africa and identifies gaps in healthcare provision. From the current literature, we hope to provide evidence-based recommendations to mitigate the challenges faced by the resource-limited E…
Socio-demographic and environmental determinants of under-5 stunting in Rwanda
Child stunting is an important household, socio-economic, environmental and nutritional stress indicator. Nationally, 33% of children under 5 in Rwanda are stunted necessitating the need to identify factors perpetuating stunting for targeted interventions. Our study assessed the individual and community-level determinants of under-5 stunting essential for designing appropriate policy and program responses for addressing stunting in Rwanda. A cros…
Understanding factors associated with rural‐urban disparities of stunting among under‐five children in Rwanda
Childhood stunting in its moderate and severe forms is a major global problem and an important indicator of child health. Rwanda has made progress in reducing the prevalence of stunting. However, the burden of stunting and its geographical disparities have precipitated the need to investigate its spatial clusters and attributable factors. Here, we assessed the determinants of under-5 stunting and mapped its prevalence to identify areas where inte…
Factors Influencing Rapid Antiretroviral Therapy Initiation at Four eThekwini Clinics, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Timely uptake of Antiretroviral therapy considerably improves the health of people living with the Human Immunodeficiency virus. We conducted a cross-sectional study of newly HIV diagnosed individuals in four clinics in eThekwini municipality, KwaZulu-Natal. Data was collected between June 2020 and December 2020. Participants completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire after HIV testing, on the day of HIV diagnosis. We evaluated factors i…
Spatial and spatio-temporal methods for mapping malaria risk
Contextual and Psychosocial Factors Influencing the Use of Safe Water Sources
Background : Schistosomiasis is a public health problem that affects over 240 million people worldwide. It is mostly prevalent in tropical and sub-tropical areas among communities with limited access to clean water and adequate sanitation. This study was conducted in uMkhanyakude District in rural South Africa, where water resources are limited. In this community, individuals frequently come into contact with freshwater bodies for various reasons…
