Face, head, and neck (FHN) problems and surgical need assessment among refugees living in Tanzania
Otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (OHNS) conditions comprise a considerable and underprioritized portion of the global burden of surgical disease. While OHNS conditions have been found to disproportionately impact low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), no studies to date have sought to characterize the burden of OHNS disease within chronic refugee settings in LMICs. The cluster-randomized, cross-sectional Surgeons Overseas Assessment of Sur…
We Only Escort Women to the Health Facility
Global health regimes have reversed the role of traditional birth attendants (TBAs) from partners in the fight against maternal and child mortality to barriers to indicator-driven care. In rural Tanzania, widespread fear of government surveillance and punishment for non-compliant individuals and organizations that climaxed during the presidency of the late John Magufuli (2015-2021) put increased pressure on TBAs. To negotiate tensions, TBAs adopt…
Becoming Mwalimu
This article examines health training in two health projects in rural Tanzania. While trainers initially adopted the role of facilitators under a participatory approach, in practice, their pedagogy blended "banking" and problem-solving models. The domestication of participatory methods incorporated various pedagogical influences, ranging from the colonial period to the era of market reforms, giving problem-solving education its distinct character…
Cancer linguistics and the politics of decolonizing health communication in Coastal Tanzania
The Shehe You Need Me to Be
Religious leaders have become a vital part of public health projects in developing countries like Tanzania. Development organisations seek them as implementers who can provide access to populations and amplify their messages. Yet, at least in Tanzania, the type of religious leaders (viongozi wa dini in Kiswahili) sought by these public health projects rarely exists in rural areas. Therefore, projects have to construct them through training progra…
Kansa talk
This paper reports and examines the results of qualitative research on the use of local cancer terminology in urban Bagamoyo, Tanzania. Following recent calls to unify evidence and dignity-based practices in global health, this research locates local medical sociolinguistics as a key place of entry into creating epistemologically autonomous public health practices. We used semistructured ethnographic interviews to reveal both the contextual and b…
HIV testing uptake, enablers, and barriers among African migrants in China
Background: African migrants in China face social, structural, and cultural barriers to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing with scarce information on their HIV testing behaviours. This study estimated the prevalence of HIV testing and its social and behavioural correlates to understand how to better provide HIV testing services for African migrants living in China. Methods: We conducted a national cross-sectional survey among adult Africa…

Good, Bad Religious Leaders
NGOs recruit religious leaders as health actors in Sub-Saharan Africa. Program designers both construct religious leaders as opponents of family planning interventions who discourage their congregants from using family planning and as proponents who persuade their congregants to use them. This article investigates a family planning project that recruited religious leaders in Morogoro, Tanzania. Research findings show that binary talk obfuscates t…
Even if the Chinese Grow Wings and Fly
In a Tanzanian seaside dojo, Sempai Ali Issa Hassan, a Swahili martial artist, filmmaker, and healer, offers an alternative history claiming the East Asian martial arts originate in the Afro-Islamic world. Starting from his reaction to a visit by a Chinese Shaolin master, we trace the contours of our experience making sense of claims which both challenge and recast assumptions about Afro-Asian cultural exchange
‘They call us killers’
Background: This paper attempts to describe the multi-dimensional perceptions of mganga/waganga (Kiswahili: traditional healers) by members of their constituencies, patients, government health officials and religious leaders in Mombasa, Kenya. It also seeks to investigate how these conceptions and perceptions influence the relationships between traditional healers and other stakeholders in the delivery of public healthcare services in Mombasa.Mat…

Prevalence and assessment of malnutrition among children attending the Reproductive and Child Health clinic at Bagamoyo District Hospital, Tanzania
Hospital and facility attending populations of under-five children in and around Bagamoyo suffer moderately high rates of malnutrition. Current nutrition programs focus on education for at risk children and referral to regional hospitals for malnourished children. Even though the general population has even greater malnutrition than the population presenting at the hospital, in areas of high malnutrition, hospital-based interventions should also …
