Glaucoma detection training of community healthcare workers using portable devices in Nigeria
Background: Glaucoma, an irreversible blinding eye disease caused by optic nerve damage, remains a major public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, where it occurs earlier and progresses more aggressively than in other regions. Accessibility and affordability remain major barriers to timely diagnosis and treatment in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Purpose: To assess the ability of community health workers (CHWs) without prior ophth…
Advancing public health leadership through culturally centered and responsive research mentorship training in Nigeria
Effective leadership in research and public health is critical to strengthen evidence generation and translation into policy and practice. Mentorship in research and public health is critical to develop leaders, but mentorship training is often ad hoc and may not be effective, particularly when it does not reflect local cultural and academic contextual realities. The Cardiovascular Research Training in Nigeria (CeRTIN) program, a funded partnersh…
Training in the art and science of facilitation to scale research mentor training in low and middle income countries
Advancing biomedical research in low and middle income countries (LMICs) to expand the capacity for LMICs to integrate biomedical research into their health care systems and education has been the focus of many programs in global health over the past two decades. Central to the success of these programs is effective research mentoring, characterized by academic, career and psychosocial support through culturally appropriate practices. Research me…
The Lancet Global Health Commission on Global Eye Health: Vision beyond 2020
There is extensive evidence showing that improving eye health contributes directly and indirectly to achieving many Sustainable Development Goals, including reducing poverty and improving work productivity, general and mental health, and education and equity. Improving eye health is a practical and cost-effective way of unlocking human potential. Eye health needs to be reframed as an enabling, cross-cutting issue within the sustainable developmen…
Cataract Services are Leaving Widows Behind: Examples from National Cross-Sectional Surveys in Nigeria and Sri Lanka
The Sustainable Development Goals aim to leave no one behind. We explored the hypothesis that women without a living spouse-including those who are widowed, divorced, separated, and never married-are a vulnerable group being left behind by cataract services. Using national cross-sectional blindness surveys from Nigeria (2005-2007; n = 13,591) and Sri Lanka (2012-2014; n = 5779) we categorized women and men by marital status (married/not-married) …
So let me find my way, whatever it will cost me, rather than leaving myself in darkness: Experiences of glaucoma in Nigeria
BACKGROUND: Blindness from glaucoma is associated with socio-economic deprivation, presumed to reflect poor access to care and poor adherence to treatment. OBJECTIVES: To determine why people with glaucoma are presenting late for treatment and to understand access to glaucoma care. Additionally, we sought to identify what patients and the community know, do and think about the condition and why the poor are the most affected with glaucoma blindne…
Prevalence and risk factors for diabetes and diabetic retinopathy: Results from the Nigeria national blindness and visual impairment survey
The age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes in Nigeria was 3.25% (95%CI 2.50-4.30) and over 10% of people with diabetes aged ≥40 years had sight-threatening-DR. These data will enable the development of better public health strategies for the control of diabetes and planning services for DR to prevent vision loss
