  • Developing paediatric subspecialty training in resource-limited settings; the first neonatology subspeciality program in Tanzania

    Open AccessHelga Naburi, Nahya Salim et al.ARTICLEBMC Medical Education2026

    BACKGROUND: Neonatal mortality remains high in Tanzania, where progress toward Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 is constrained by a severe shortage of trained workforce. To achieve the goal, Tanzania, with approximately two million annual births, aims to reduce neonatal mortality from 24 to fewer than 12 deaths per 1,000 live births by 2030. In 2020, only five neonatologists, including expatriates, were available nationwide. To fill this gap, the…

  • We discovered new ways of learning’

    Open AccessJaya Chandna, Rejina Gurung et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2026

    BACKGROUND: Children with disabilities face many barriers to early childhood development services and to pre-primary education. Evidence on inclusive school readiness and community-based approaches in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) still remains limited. OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility and acceptability of a co-designed training programme for caregivers to support school readiness among children aged 4-6 years in Bangladesh, Nepal…

  • Availability and functioning of neonatal care units and neonatal mortality across five regions in Tanzania

    Open AccessFelix Bundala, Felix Ambrose Bundala et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    BACKGROUND: The neonatal mortality rate in Tanzania has remained persistently high, at 24 deaths per 1000 live births. To halve the current death rate by 2030, the WHO recommends that by 2025, at least 80% of districts should have a neonatal care unit (NCU) and use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device for respiratory support, among small and sick newborns. This study describes the availability and functioning of NCUs and facility-b…

  • Small and sick newborn care

    Open AccessRebecca E Penzias, Morris Ogero et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Health Facility Assessments (HFAs) are important for measuring and tracking service readiness for small and sick newborn care (SSNC). NEST360 Alliance aims to reduce neonatal mortality in four countries (Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania). NEST360 and UNICEF facilitated HFA tool design with ministries of health in four African countries and developed two complimentary approaches to summarise readiness. Using the NEST360/UNICEF HFA tool, we collect…

  • Critical Analysis of Nutritional Factors in Disease Epidemiology and Prevention

    Open AccessAskar Ali S Alyami, Hassan Hebah T Hassan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ecohumanism2024

    The burden of NCDs, including obesity, diabetes, CVDs, and some cancers, has upped the importance of nutrition in the health of a nation. Malnutrition and over nutrition, which are the major nutritional factors, play important roles in disease distribution in the world. With regard to the analysis of this paper, the author has given a critical perspective on how dietary habits, socioeconomic factors, and cultural practices are determinants of the…

  • Measuring coverage and quality of supportive care for inpatient neonatal infections

    Open AccessAniqa Tasnim Hossain, Shafiqul Ameen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2022

    Background: An estimated 7 million episodes of severe newborn infections occur annually worldwide, with half a million newborn deaths, most occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Whilst injectable antibiotics are necessary to treat the infection, supportive care is also crucial in ending preventable mortality and morbidity. This study uses multi-country data to assess gaps in coverage, quality, and documentation of supportive care, consid…
