Adherence to National Standard Treatment Guidelines in the management of hypertension and associated factors among healthcare providers at public district hospitals in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Hypertension affects 15–25% of adults in Tanzania, yet fewer than 30% of treated patients achieve blood pressure control. Poor control contributes to stroke, heart failure, and renal disease. The National Standard Treatment Guidelines (NSTGs), 6th edition (2021), provide guidance for management, but healthcare provider adherence to the guidelines remains unclear. A mixed-methods cross-sectional study was conducted at five public district hospital…
Socioeconomic and national disparities in disability distribution among population in five East African countries
This study highlighted a significant disability prevalence in EACs. Its associated factors included female gender, poorer economic households, rural areas and separation. There was interaction of age and education level on influencing disability. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions and further research into underlying mechanisms to improve support systems for vulnerable populations
Socioeconomic and geographical disparities in disability distribution among Tanzanian population
This study highlights significant disability prevalence in Tanzania, with older age, female gender, higher education, wealth, and marital separation as key risk factors for disability. The counterintuitive findings on wealth and education may indicate improved access to diagnosis. Regional disparities warrant further investigation. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions and further research into underlying mechanisms to impr…
Ecological and Epidemiological Findings Associated with Zoonotic Rabies Outbreaks and Control in Moshi, Tanzania, 2017–2018
Approximately 1500 people die annually due to rabies in the United Republic of Tanzania. Moshi, in the Kilimanjaro Region, reported sporadic cases of human rabies between 2017 and 2018. In response and following a One Health approach, we implemented surveillance, monitoring, as well as a mass vaccinations of domestic pets concurrently in >150 villages, achieving a 74.5% vaccination coverage ( n = 29, 885 dogs and cats) by September 2018. As of Ap…
Perceptions about the cultural practices of male partners during postpartum care in rural Tanzania
BACKGROUND: Men play an important role in maternal health. The postpartum period is a critical stage, yet there is a scarcity of research that explores men's involvement during this stage. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to explore male partners' perceptions of the cultural practices during postpartum care in rural Tanzania. METHODS: Fourteen focus group discussions were conducted with 93 men, with an age range of 19-65 years, in August 2013.…
Women's perceptions of antenatal, delivery, and postpartum services in rural Tanzania
BACKGROUND: Maternal health care provision remains a major challenge in developing countries. There is agreement that the provision of quality clinical services is essential if high rates of maternal death are to be reduced. However, despite efforts to improve access to these services, a high number of women in Tanzania do not access them. The aim of this study is to explore women's views about the maternal health services (pregnancy, delivery, a…
