Questioning the ethics of international research on formula milk supplementation in low-income African countries
Over the past three decades, the increase \nin funding for priority public health issues \nlargely affecting low/middle-income countries (LMICs) has led to the growth in international research involving researchers \nor research sponsors from a high-income \ncountry (HIC) conducting research in \nLMICs. The ethical considerations in such \ninternational research were raised in the \n1990s and several ethical guidelines specifically addressing int…

High antiretroviral therapy coverage of breastfeeding women living with HIV, and an Infant Feeding policy supportive of breastfeeding, now provides an opportunity to improve breastfeeding practices. Challenges remain in restoring health …
An educational intervention to update health workers about HIV and infant feeding
Clinical guidelines are used to translate research findings into evidence-based clinical practice but are frequently not comprehensively adopted by health workers (HWs). HIV and infant feeding guidelines were revised by the World Health Organization to align feeding advice for HIV-exposed and unexposed infants, and these were adopted in South Africa in 2017. We describe an innovative, team-based, mentoring programme developed to update HWs on the…
