Towards improving maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response in the African region
Africa renewed its efforts to document maternal and perinatal deaths in 2014 following the release of the WHO’s maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response (MPDSR) guidelines. Successful implementation of MPDSR requires timely notification and a thorough documentation of maternal and perinatal deaths, the development of causal pathways, and the enactment of targeted improvement (change) actions to prevent future avoidable deaths. Simil…
Prevalence and predictors of modern contraceptives utilization among sexually active adolescent girls and young women in Sierra Leone
We assessed the prevalence and predictors of modern contraceptive use among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) (15–24 years) in Sierra Leone. We analyzed secondary data of 2,338 sexually active AGYW from the 2019 Sierra Leone demographic and health survey using STATA version 16, and the results were presented as proportions. Modern contraceptive use among AGYW was relatively high (43.1%). The frequently used contraceptives were injectables (…
Measuring health financing vulnerability due to reductions in official development assistance
Despite a 33% increase in Official Development Assistance (ODA) from 2019 to 2023, aid declined by 7% in 2024 and projected to further decline in 2025–2027. Health systems in Africa are being impacted by the sudden aid freezes and cuts. There are no multicriteria metrics to estimate the vulnerability of countries to facilitate dialogue and decisions. This paper proposes an approach to assess country’s vulnerability to external aid cuts, consideri…
Transitioning the Covid-19 response in the WHO African region
The onset of the pandemic revealed the health system inequities and inadequate preparedness, especially in the African continent. Over the past months, African countries have ensured optimum pandemic response. However, there is still a need to build further resilient health systems that enhance response and transition from the acute phase of the pandemic to the recovery interpandemic/preparedness phase. Guided by the lessons learnt in the respons…
