Health justice in fragile and shock-prone settings
Health justice is an emerging imperative in global health and health policy and systems research, particularly in fragile and shock-prone settings where inequities are deepened by political instability, conflict and structural violence. This practice paper explores how the ReBUILD for Resilience consortium has sought to operationalise health justice as a guiding principle and embedded practice in four diverse contexts: Myanmar, Nepal, Lebanon and…
Using photovoice to inform and support health systems to reach marginalised populations
Photovoice methodology centralises the voices of marginalised populations within health systems using photography and critical dialogue to record, reflect and communicate community health issues. This paper presents findings from applying photovoice to explore and document the lived experiences of groups of marginalised populations in six low- and middle-income countries: Cambodia, Ghana, Nepal, Sierra Leone, Uganda and Zambia. The strengths of u…
Rural–urban health-seeking behaviours for non-communicable diseases in Sierra Leone
Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of mortality globally. In Africa, they are expected to increase by 25% by 2030. However, very little is known about community perceptions of risk factors and factors influencing health-seeking behaviour, especially in fragile settings. Understanding these is critical to effectively address this epidemic, especially in low-resource settings. Methods: We use participatory group mo…
Opportunities and challenges for delivering non-communicable disease management and services in fragile and post-conflict settings
Our study suggests that NCD prevention and control is of low but increasing priority in Sierra Leone; challenges to addressing this burden relate to huge numbers with NCDs (especially hypertension) requiring care, overall resource constraints and wider systemic issues, including poorly supported primary care services and access barriers. In addition to securing and strengthening political will and commitment and directing more resources and atten…
