  • Top ten research priorities for Essential Emergency and Critical Care

    Open AccessR Ellis, Ryan Rhys Ellis et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Critical illness leads to millions of preventable deaths each year. Essential Emergency and Critical Care (EECC) is a pragmatic, globally relevant approach designed to address critical gaps in basic life-saving care. This study identified the top ten research priorities to guide the development of EECC over the next five years. At the first global EECC Research Conference in November 2024, 46 clinicians, researchers, and policymakers representing…

  • The normalisation of under-resourcing limits the potential for improvement of critical care

    Open AccessJacob Mcknight, Jacquie Oliwa et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026

    The reduced availability of materials, staff, and health infrastructure commonly seen in Low- and Middle-Income Country (LMIC) settings is known to directly limit the ability of a hospital to provide effective care to critically ill patients. We use Health Facility Assessments (HFAs), 'hospital journeys', and in-depth interviews across five secondary and tertiary referral-level government hospitals in Kenya to explore their readiness to provide E…

  • Hospital burden of critical illness across global settings

    Open AccessCarl Otto Schell, Raphael Kazidule Kayambankadzanja Raphael Kazidule…ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    INTRODUCTION: The burden of critical illness may have been underestimated. Previous analyses have used data from intensive care units (ICUs) only, and there is a lack of evidence about where in hospitals critically ill patients receive care. This study aims to determine the burden of critical illness among adult inpatients across hospitals in different global settings. METHODS: We performed a prospective, observational, hospital-based, point prev…

  • Covid-19 and unintended steps towards further equity in global health research

    Open AccessTamara Mulenga Willows, Jacquie Narotso Oliwa et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    There was, and possibly still is, potential for COVID-19 to disrupt power inequities and contribute to positive transformation in global health research that increases equity. While there is consensus about the need to decolonise by transforming global health, and a roadmap outlining how we could approach it, there are few examples of steps that could be taken to transform the mechanics of global health research. This paper contributes lessons le…

  • Hospital care for critical illness in low-resource settings

    Open AccessMike English, Jacquie Narotso Oliwa et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Care for the critically ill patients is often considered synonymous with a hospital having an intensive care unit. However, a focus on Essential Emergency and Critical Care (EECC) may obviate the need for much intensive care. Severe COVID-19 presented a specific critical care challenge while also being an exemplar of critical illness in general. Our multidisciplinary team conducted research in Kenya and Tanzania on hospitals’ ability to provide E…

  • Policies and resources for strengthening of emergency and critical care services in the context of the global Covid-19 pandemic in Kenya

    Open AccessJacquie Narotso Oliwa, Rosanna Jeffries Mazhar et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Critical illnesses cause several million deaths annually, with many of these occurring in low-resource settings like Kenya. Great efforts have been made worldwide to scale up critical care to reduce deaths from COVID-19. Lower income countries with fragile health systems may not have had sufficient resources to upscale their critical care. We aimed to review how efforts to strengthen emergency and critical care were operationalised during the pan…

  • Receive, Sustain, and Flow

    Open AccessJacob Mcknight, Tamara Mulenga Willows et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2023

    Background: Hospital patients can become critically ill anywhere in a hospital but their survival is affected by problems of identification and adequate, timely, treatment. This is issue of particular concern in lower middle-income countries' (LMICs) hospitals where specialised units are scarce and severely under-resourced. "Cross-sectional" approaches to improving narrow, specific aspects of care will not attend to issues that affect patients' c…

  • Essential Emergency and Critical Care

    Open AccessCarl Otto Schell, Karima Khalid et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: Globally, critical illness results in millions of deaths every year. Although many of these deaths are potentially preventable, the basic, life-saving care of critically ill patients are often overlooked in health systems. Essential Emergency and Critical Care (EECC) has been devised as the care that should be provided to all critically ill patients in all hospitals in the world. EECC includes the effective care of low cost and low co…

  • Socioeconomic determinants of infant mortality

    Open AccessCarl Otto Schell, Marie Reilly et al.ARTICLEScandinavian Journal of Public…2007

    Background: To reach the Millennium Development Goals for health, influential international bodies advocate for more resources to be directed to the health sector, in particular medical treatment. Yet, health has many determinants beyond the health sector that are less evident than proximate predictors. Aim: To assess the relative importance of major socioeconomic determinants of population health, measured as infant mortality rate (IMR), at coun…
