  • Providing surgery in a war-torn context

    Open AccessMiguel Trelles, Lynette Dominguez et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2015

    Surgical needs in a conflict-afflicted setting like Syria are high and include both combat and non-combat indications, particularly obstetric emergencies. Provision of quality surgical care in a complex and volatile setting like this is possible providing appropriate measures, supported by highly experienced staff, can be implemented that allow a specific set of minimum standards of care to be adhered to. This is particularly important when patie…

  • Providing surgical care in Somalia

    Open AccessKathryn Chu, Nathan Ford et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2011

    The delivery of surgical care in any conflict-settings is difficult, but in situations where international support is limited, the challenges are more extreme. In this model, task shifting, or the provision of services by less trained cadres, was utilized and peri-operative mortality remained low demonstrating that safe surgical practices can be accomplished even without the presence of fully trained surgeon and anesthesiologists. If security imp…

  • Surgical care for the direct and indirect victims of violence in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

    Open AccessKathryn Chu, Philippe Havet et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2010

    In this study, most surgical interventions were unrelated to violent trauma and rather reflected the general surgical needs of a low-income tropical country.

Given the limited surgical workforce in these areas, training of local staff and task shifting is recommended…

    Open AccessÁngel Martín Rosas Aguirre, Luis Fernando Llanos Zavalaga et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2009

    The use of rapid tests by local health providers can improve the effectiveness of malaria diagnosis in patients with fever in the 50 communities studied, at a cost lower than the current method. The recommendation is to expand the use of rapid tests among the health providers in communities similar to those studied

  • National and sub-national under-five mortality profiles in Peru

    Open AccessLuis Huicho, Miguel Trelles et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2006

    Under-five mortality declined substantially in all departments from 1996 to 2000, which is explained mostly by reduction in diarrhoea and pneumonia deaths, particularly in the andean region. There is the need to emphasize interventions to reduce neonatal deaths and emerging causes of death such as injuries and congenital anomalies
