  • Feasibility of introducing integrated disease surveillance and response into curricula of public health training institutions in Sierra Leone

    Open AccessCharles Njuguna, Abdul Mbawa et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction: Response to public health emergencies is a big challenge in African countries due to inadequate workforce. Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) is a strategy implemented by African member states of WHO to strengthen capacity for disease surveillance and response at all levels. Despite successful implementation of IDSR in most countries, one of the challenges that persists is that of inadequate trained workforce compet…

  • Tanzania’s first Marburg Viral Disease outbreak response

    Open AccessAlly Hussein, Rogath Kishimba et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Viral Haemorrhagic Fever Outbreak presents a significant public health threat, requiring a timely, robust, and well-coordinated response. This paper aims to describe the roles of the Tanzania Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program (TFELTP) graduates and residents in responding to Tanzania’s first Marburg Viral Disease (MVD) outbreak. We performed a secondary data analysis using a range of documents, such as rosters of deployed respond…

  • Implementing Joint External Evaluations of the International Health Regulations (2005) capacities in all countries in the WHO African region

    Open AccessIbrahima-Soce Fall, Roland Kimbi Wango et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Following the West Africa Ebola virus disease outbreak (2013–2016), the Joint External Evaluation (JEE) is one of the three voluntary components recommended by the WHO for evaluating the International Health Regulations (2005) capacities in countries. Here, we share experience implementing JEEs in all 47 countries in the WHO African region. In February 2016, the United Republic of Tanzania (Mainland) was the first country globally to conduct a JE…

  • Framing the future of the Covid-19 response operations in 2022 in the WHO African region

    Open AccessThierno Balde, Boniface Oyugi et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2022

    BACKGROUND: With the evolving epidemiological parameters of COVID-19 in Africa, the response actions and lessons learnt during the pandemic's past two years, SARS-COV 2 will certainly continue to circulate in African countries in 2022 and beyond. As countries in the African continent need to be more prepared and plan to 'live with the virus' for the upcoming two years and after and at the same time mitigate risks by protecting the future most vul…

  • The urgent need for a global commitment to protect healthcare workers

    Open AccessAmbrose Talisuna, Zabulon Yoti et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    box Health workers are essential for improved global health—but the COVID-19 pandemic is decimating them. Worse still, we don’t know the true toll the virus is taking on healthcare workers. In Africa, where the healthcare workforce of many countries was already desperately thin, the WHO counted nearly 42 000 sickened clinicians as of 9 September 2020,1 but the total number of infected surely outstrips that. And the pandemic is still unfolding: on…

  • Community engagement for successful Covid-19 pandemic response

    Open AccessJulienne Ngoundoung Anoko, Boureima Rodrigue Barry et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    During prenatal development of the cerebellum in rats, a secondary stem cell layer, the external granular, or germinal, layer (EGL) develops at the pial surface of the cerebellar anlage. The EGL cells arise in a region at the caudolateral margin of the fourth ventricle, and the cells migrate over the surface of the developing cerebellum. A key question is how this migration is guided. We have investigated the possible role of the extracellular ma…

  • The potential effects of widespread community transmission of Sars-CoV-2 infection in the World Health Organization African Region

    Open AccessJoseph Waogodo Cabore, Joseph Cabore Waogodo et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    The spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been unprecedented in its speed and effects. Interruption of its transmission to prevent widespread community transmission is critical because its effects go beyond the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths and affect the health system capacity to provide other essential services. Highlighting the implications of such a situation, the predictions presented here are deriv…

  • Spatial and temporal distribution of infectious disease epidemics, disasters and other potential public health emergencies in the World Health Organisation Africa region, 2016–2018

    Open AccessAmbrose Talisuna, Ambrose Otau TALISUNA et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2020

    BACKGROUND: Emerging and re-emerging diseases with pandemic potential continue to challenge fragile health systems in Africa, creating enormous human and economic toll. To provide evidence for the investment case for public health emergency preparedness, we analysed the spatial and temporal distribution of epidemics, disasters and other potential public health emergencies in the WHO African region between 2016 and 2018. METHODS: We abstracted dat…
