Community-engaged clinical governance and machine learning for optimizing tuberculosis management in rural Eastern Cape
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge, particularly in high-burden, resource-limited settings. Community-Engaged Clinical Governance (CE-CG) has emerged as a promising framework for strengthening accountability, adherence, and continuity of care by integrating clinical governance and community participation. This study examined the alignment between CE-CG implementation and TB treatment outcomes in the rural Eastern Cape, Sout…
Epidemiology and treatment outcomes of TB–HIV co-infection in a rural South African setting
Background Tuberculosis–HIV (TB–HIV) co-infection remains a major public health challenge in South Africa, particularly in rural settings where clinical, socioeconomic, and health-system factors may influence treatment outcomes. This study examined the epidemiological characteristics of TB–HIV co-infection and factors associated with tuberculosis treatment outcomes in a rural Eastern Cape cohort. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted…
Assessment of infection prevention and control practices in healthcare facilities in the O.R. Tambo district municipality using the WHO infection prevention and control assessment framework
Background: Infection prevention and control (IPC) programs are essential for reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), improving patient safety, and strengthening health systems. In low-resource settings, inadequate IPC capacity remains a major challenge, particularly at primary healthcare facilities that serve as the first point of contact in the health system. This study assessed IPC practices and capacity in healthcare facilities in t…
Assessing awareness of latent tuberculosis infection
Background: Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) affects approximately a quarter of the global population and poses a significant barrier to TB control, particularly in high-burden settings like South Africa. Public awareness of LTBI remains limited, with widespread misconceptions, especially within rural healthcare systems. This study assessed community knowledge of LTBI, evaluated the impact of prior educational exposure, and identified sociode…
Towards community-driven tuberculosis education
Background Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health concern in rural South Africa, with widespread community knowledge gaps and pervasive stigma significantly impeding early diagnosis and treatment success. This pilot study evaluated TB knowledge and barriers to testing among community members in Ntabankulu, Eastern Cape, to inform targeted, community-driven education strategies. Methods A cross-sectional survey utilizing a structured Know…
Hearing Impairment Among Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis Patients in Rural Eastern Cape
Hearing loss (HL) is a major global health concern, with drug-induced ototoxicity contributing significantly, particularly in patients undergoing treatment for drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB). In South Africa, where both TB and HIV are prevalent, the risk of treatment-related auditory damage is especially high. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and predictors of hearing impairment among DR-TB patients in rural Eastern Cape, South Afri…
Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Rural Eastern Cape, South Africa
This study investigated the characteristics and outcomes of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients in selected rural healthcare facilities in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. A retrospective review of clinical records from 456 patients, covering the period from January 2018 to December 2020, revealed a statistically significant relationship between DR-TB types and age groups (Chi-square statistic: 30.74, p -value: 0.015). Younger adults (19-35 years…
