  • Acceptability of advanced Controlled Human Infection Models

    Open AccessAnthony E Chirwa, Charity Gunda et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIM) in which volunteers are experimentally exposed to pathogens are used to study pathogenesis and down select among treatment and vaccine candidates. Scientifically, CHIM studies are best conducted among at-risk populations in which the infection is endemic, and who are likely to benefit from new interventions tested. Ethically, the perspectives of these communities should be carefully considered in designing…

  • Self-management of chronic conditions including multimorbidity in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessSangwani Salimu, Melissa Taylor et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    The increasing prevalence of multimorbidity in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is an urgent concern for health service delivery, yet little is known about how best to support self-management- the tasks patients and carers take to maintain physical and mental health in this context. This review synthesized qualitative evidence that describes self-management of four chronic conditions- HIV, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and hypertension, including mul…

  • Health systems strengthening through surgical and perioperative care pathways

    Open AccessSivesh K Kamarajah, Adesoji Ademuyiwa et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    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…

  • Authorship reflexivity statements

    Open AccessMelissa Taylor, Eva Heinz et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    Authorship of scientific publications is key currency in academic systems. It demonstrates scientific contribution and scholarship and is an important tangible output that can strongly influence career progression and access to important resources such as grant income. However, the integrity of authorship as an indicator of contribution is threatened by normalised unfair practices.

  • Interdisciplinary perspectives on multimorbidity in Africa

    Open AccessJustin Dixon, Ben Morton et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Multimorbidity is an emerging challenge for health systems globally. It is commonly defined as the co-occurrence of two or more chronic conditions in one person, but its meaning remains a lively area of academic debate, and the utility of the concept beyond high-income settings is uncertain. This article presents the findings from an interdisciplinary research initiative that drew together 60 academic and applied partners working in 10 African co…

  • Different clinical features in Malawian outpatients presenting with Covid-19 prior to and during Omicron variant dominance

    Open AccessMarah G Chibwana, Herbert W Thole et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant has resulted in a high number of cases, but a relatively low incidence of severe disease and deaths, compared to the pre-Omicron variants. Therefore, we assessed the differences in symptom prevalence between Omicron and pre-Omicron infections in a sub-Saharan African population. We collected data from outpatients presenting at two primary healthcare facilities in Blantyre, Malawi, from November 2020 to March 2022. E…

  • Accuracy of computer-aided chest X-ray in community-based tuberculosis screening

    Open AccessBrenda Mungai, Jane Rahedi Ong’ang’o et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Community-based screening for tuberculosis (TB) could improve detection but is resource intensive. We set out to evaluate the accuracy of computer-aided TB screening using digital chest X-ray (CXR) to determine if this approach met target product profiles (TPP) for community-based screening. CXR images from participants in the 2016 Kenya National TB Prevalence Survey were evaluated using CAD4TBv6 (Delft Imaging), giving a probabilistic score for …

  • Equity in global health research

    Open AccessSepeedeh Saleh, Refiloe Masekela et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

  • Exploring smoke

    Open AccessSepeedeh Saleh, Henry Sambakunsi et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    Air pollution adversely affects human health, and the climate crisis intensifies the global imperative for action. Low-/middle-income countries (LMIC) suffer particularly high attributable disease burdens. In rural low-resource settings, these are linked to cooking using biomass. Proposed biomedical solutions to air pollution typically involve ‘improved cooking technologies’, often introduced by high-income country research teams. This ethnograph…

  • Establishment of a high-dependency unit in Malawi

    Open AccessBen Morton, Ndaziona Peter Kwanjo Banda et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    Adults admitted to hospital with critical illness are vulnerable and at high risk of morbidity and mortality, especially in sub-Saharan African settings where resources are severely limited. As life expectancy increases, patient demographics and healthcare needs are increasingly complex and require integrated approaches. Patient outcomes could be improved by increased critical care provision that standardises healthcare delivery, provides special…
