Catastrophic health expenditures associated with single admission for paediatric surgery in a low-resource setting
BACKGROUND: Catastrophic healthcare expenditure (CHE) poses significant financial burdens on households globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of CHE among families of paediatric surgical patients admitted for surgery and to explore factors associated with it. METHODS: The study was a prospective, multicentre, cross-sectional study carried out in 25 hospitals with paediatric…
Health systems strengthening through surgical and perioperative care pathways
Global health has traditionally focused on the primary health development with disease-specific focus such as HIV, malaria and non-communicable diseases (NCDs). As such, surgery has traditionally been neglected in global health as investment in them is often expensive, relative to these other priorities. Therefore, efforts to improve surgical care have remained on the periphery of initiatives in health system strengthening. However, today, many w…

Choosing between CT colonography and colonoscopy in the diagnostic context
Objective To explore information needs and preferences on diagnostic bowel tests and elicit preferences for CT colonography (CTC) vs. colonoscopy (CC). Background CTC is a new technology for large‐bowel imaging that has been widely assumed to be more acceptable than CC because it is non‐invasive. Design Semi‐structured focus groups discussing information choices and procedure preferences. Setting and participants Non‐patient sample of 26 asymptom…
