Strengthening healthcare worker knowledge for outbreak preparedness and response via mobile technology in Nigeria and Uganda
Healthcare worker (HCW) training on epidemic preparedness is vital for effective outbreak detection, reporting and response, especially in resource-limited settings. However, traditional training methods often fail to address the specific needs of frontline HCWs, causing significant delays in disease surveillance and response. This paper explores the Clinical Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (cIDSR) training model, designed to supplem…
Perceptions of Covid-19-related nudges in the Arab world: A cross-country analysis of approval rates and associated factors
The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated novel approaches to influence public behavior. While “nudging” has gained prominence in Western contexts, its perception and effectiveness in the Arab world remain understudied. This study aimed to investigate the approval of COVID-19-related nudges across four Arab countries and explore associated sociodemographic factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2020 to January 2022, involving 6…

Adapting public health response through lessons learnt: Nigeria’s experience from Lassa fever and Covid-19
Response to public health emergencies requires continued adaptation and innovation. The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) is the country’s public health institute with the mandate to protect the health of Nigerians. Achieving such mandate in resource-limited settings with divergent demographic characteristics of the citizens, necessitates the readiness to learn from experience and to develop policies and activities in line with lessons le…
Are Lockdown Measures Effective Against Covid-19
As the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic progresses, countries around the world are increasingly implementing a range of responses that are intended to help prevent the transmission of this disease. In the absence of a COVID-19 vaccine, we assess the potential role of containment measures to suppress the virus transmission, thereby slowing down the growth rate of cases and rapidly reducing case incidence. The aim of this study is to sh…
The prevalence of noma in northwest Nigeria
Background: Noma, a rapidly progressing infection of the oral cavity, mainly affects children. The true burden is unknown. This study reports estimated noma prevalence in children in northwest Nigeria. Methods: Oral screening was performed on all ≤15 year olds, with caretaker consent, in selected households during this cross-sectional survey. Noma stages were classified using WHO criteria and caretakers answered survey questions. The prevalence o…
Nigeria’s public health response to the Covid-19 pandemic: January to May 2020
The novel coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19, which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome \nvirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) [1] was first reported in December 2019 by Chinese Health Authorities following an outbreak of pneumonia of unknown origin in Wuhan, Hubei Province [2,3]. SARS-CoV-2 is \nlikely of zoonotic origin, similar to SARS and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and transmitted between humans through respiratory droplets and fomit…
