Urban–Rural Disparities in Geographic Healthcare Accessibility
Geographic access to healthcare remains a critical barrier to health equity in low- and middle-income countries, where infrastructure and service provision are unevenly distributed. Using the UN-endorsed Degree of Urbanisation framework, we assessed disparities in geographic healthcare accessibility across Nigeria and Zambia in 2020. Travel times to health facilities were modeled for both walking and motorized transport at 1 km resolution, and st…
Maternal and child healthcare coverage and trends
Novel approach - leveraging routine facility data, revealed MCH coverage was modestly consistently higher in RH districts over the years and RH status influenced ANC4 coverage. Overall district-CCI depended on Government investment and health systems performance implying increase in PHC financing could be a key driver to universal district-level improvement
Impact of Urban Slum Residence on Coverage of Maternal, Neonatal, and Child Health Service Indicators in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana
Among other focus areas, the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 and 11 seek to advance progress toward universal coverage of maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH) services and access to safe and affordable housing and basic services by 2030. Governments and development agencies have historically neglected the health and well-being associated with living in urban slums across major capital cities in sub-Saharan Africa since health…
Dam-mediated flooding impact on outpatient attendance and diarrhoea cases in northern Ghana
The significant reduction in outpatient attendance during flooding suggests that flooding impairs healthcare delivery. The relationship is sensitive to the choice of satellite-derived flood product, so future studies should consider integrating multiple sources of satellite imagery for more robust exposure assessment. Health teams and communities should plan spatially targeted flood mitigation and health system adaptation strategies that explicit…
Mapping access to basic hygiene services in low- and middle-income countries
Prevalence and factors associated with overweight and obesity in selected health areas in a rural health district in Cameroon
We observed a high prevalence of overweight and obesity in this study. The odds of overweight and obesity was higher in females, married participants, and those with higher levels of education. Community-based interventions to control overweight and obesity should consider targeting these groups
