A Cryptolepis Sanguinolenta-Based Preparation Reduced Hospital Stay and Mortality of Covid-19 Patients During the Pandemi
Background:In 2020, the World Health Organization urged nations to take domestic steps to curb the spread and contain the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, also referred to as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In the meantime, there was growing clinical evidence that reported favourable effects of using herbal medicine in managingCOVID-19. We, therefore, repurposed Nibima (a Cryptolepis sanguinolenta-based …
Prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa
Cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) are increasingly prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), underscoring the need to understand the existing public health burden. This would guide future policy strategies and interventions to mitigate the challenges posed. The aim of this systematic review was to provide a comprehensive overview of CMDs prevalence in SSA. A PRISMA 2020 compliant systematic literature search was conducted using MEDLINE and The Cochran…
Knowledge and prevalence of common sexually transmitted infections among patients seeking care at selected health facilities in Southern Ghana
The burden of Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remains a public health problem that should be addressed considering its effect on society and close association with HIV. This study aimed to determine the knowledge and prevalence of common STIs and associated risk factors among adult patients seeking STI care in health facilities in Ho Municipality. This was an analytical cross-sectional study involving 178 adult clients seeking treatment fo…
Pattern of Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Antimicrobial Treatment of Neonates Admitted with Suspected Sepsis in a Teaching Hospital in Ghana, 2021
Neonatal sepsis is a life-threatening emergency, and empirical antimicrobial prescription is common. In this cross-sectional study of neonates admitted with suspected sepsis in a teaching hospital in Ghana from January-December 2021, we described antimicrobial prescription patterns, compliance with national standard treatment guidelines (STG), blood culture testing, antimicrobial resistance patterns and treatment outcomes. Of the 549 neonates adm…
Adherence to Prescribing Indicators at a District Hospital in Ghana
(1) Background : Rational use of medicines (RUM) and their assessment are important to ensure optimal use of resources and patient care in hospitals. These assessments are essential to identifying practice gaps for quality improvement. (2) Methods : Assessment of adherence to WHO/International Network for Rational Use of Drugs core prescribing indicators among outpatients in 2021 was conducted at the University Hospital of the Kwame Nkrumah Unive…
High Levels of Outpatient Antibiotic Prescription at a District Hospital in Ghana
Extending antimicrobial stewardship to the out-patient settings by developing standard treatment guidelines, an out-patient specific drug formulary, and antibiograms can promote rational antibiotic use at the hospital. The EMR system of the hospital is a valuable tool for monitoring prescriptions that can be leveraged for future audits
Self-Medication and Antimicrobial Resistance
Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the biggest challenges facing mankind. Inappropriate uses of antibiotics including self-medication promote the increase and spread of AMR. Self-medication has not been well-studied among students. This study was undertaken to determine students of healthcare programmes self-medication practices and attitudes in relation to AMR. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey that used …
