Enablers and barriers of domiciliary midwifery practice using the socio-ecological model
BACKGROUND: Early postnatal discharge is increasingly common worldwide, yet the World Health Organization’s recommended 3-3-6 schedule for postnatal visits and assessments is often not adhered to by mothers and healthcare workers. The early neonatal period is critical for both mother and baby, accounting for a significant proportion of maternal and neonatal deaths, especially in developing countries. According to the recently released Midwifery A…

Most HCWs at the SVD outbreak epicenter had low resilience, largely related to fear of infection and stigma. Older age, longer work experience, and access to psychological counselling were associated with higher resilience.

Investigation of Covid-19 outbreak at a refugee transit centre, Kisoro District, Uganda, June–July 2022
Due to conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), approximately 34,000 persons arrived at Nyakabande Transit Centre (NTC) between March and June 2022. On June 12, 2022, Kisoro District reported >330 cases of COVID-19 among NTC residents. We investigated the outbreak to assess its magnitude, identify risk factors, and recommend control measures. We defined a confirmed case as a positive SARS-CoV-2 antigen test in an NTC resident during Ma…

The outbreak led to 142 confirmed and 22 probable cases over the next two months. We exa…
