  • Discharge policies and care practices for children with suspected sepsis

    Open AccessJessica Trawin, Martina Knappett et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Under-five children in low- and middle-income countries remain at high risk of death after hospital discharge. However, few studies have systematically assessed discharge processes or facility readiness to support safe transitions of care. This study aimed to assess health facility readiness to provide pediatric discharge care for children under five years of age and current discharge practices in a nationally representative sample of health faci…

  • Exploring variations in the implementation of a health system level policy intervention to improve maternal and child health outcomes in resource limited settings

    Open AccessDavid Roger Walugembe, Katrina M Plamondon et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

This under-use of theory may account for the limited understanding of the variations in implementation processes and ou…

  • Pandemics, intellectual property and ‘our economy’

Analysed documents portray risks and disparities as unrelated to the d…

  • Maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessMary V Kinney, David Roger Walugembe et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021

    Maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response (MPDSR), or any form of maternal and/or perinatal death review or audit, aims to improve health services and pre-empt future maternal and perinatal deaths. With expansion of MPDSR across low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), we conducted a scoping review to identify and describe implementation factors and their interactions. The review adapted an implementation framework with four domains …
