Readiness to deliver integrated cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic care in primary healthcare
WHO’s Global HEARTS is the largest worldwide effort to improve hypertension control through standardised care. HEARTS in the Americas is its regional adaptation. To address the rising burden of cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic conditions, the initiative launched HEARTS 2.0, aiming to promote integrated care, reduce fragmentation and improve quality, access and health outcomes. In phase I, an expert-led consensus identified 45 evidence-based i…

A pesar de los avances, algunos factores como la atención fragmentada, la escasa disponibilidad de dispositivos validados para medir la presión arteria…
Gaps in Hypertension Management in a Middle-Income Community of Quito-Ecuador
Optimal hypertension care and control at population level significantly reduces cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The study objective was to measure the gaps in the diagnosis, care, and control of hypertension in residents of an urban community in Quito, Ecuador. A cross-sectional population-based study with a sample of 2160 persons was performed using a survey and direct blood pressure measurement. Logistical regression models were used fo…
Out-of-pocket expenditure for hypertension care
Background Hypertension requires life-long medical care, which may cause economic burden and even lead to catastrophic health expenditure. Objective To estimate the extent of out-of-pocket expenditure for hypertension care at a population level and its impact on households' budgets in a low-income urban setting in Colombia. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey in Santa Cruz, a commune in the city of Medellin. In 410 randomly selected hou…
To the bone
Recently, McMahon and colleagues set out to build on a widely-used fidelity framework, assessing the role of moderating factors during the implementation of performance-based financing programs in Malawi. Their attempt draws again the attention to the importance of approaching real word implementation issues from a theoretical perspective. It also highlights the importance of fidelity assessment within process evaluation of health programs. In th…
Patients pathways to tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment in a fragmented health system
India aims to achieve universal health care for TB. Our study findings help RNTCP to develop initiatives to promote early detection of TB, by involving PPs and private chemists and establish effective referral systems from private sectors to RNTCP
Morbidity, utilization of curative care and service entry point preferences in metropolitan Centro Habana, Cuba
First-line health services with a primary health care approach are a strong trigger for adequate health-care-seeking behavior. Research on the association between prevalence of chronic diseases and acute illnesses and use of health services emphasizes the importance of socioeconomic determinants in such patterns of utilization. In a cross-sectional study of 408 families in Centro Habana, Cuba, home interviews were conducted between April and June…
Determinantes sociopolíticos de las políticas internacionales de salud
For decades, two opposing logics dominate the health policy debate: A comprehensive health care approach, with the 1978 Alma Ata Declaration as its cornerstone, and private competition logic, emphasizing the role of the private sector. We present this debate and its influence on international health policies in the context of changing global economic and sociopolitical power relations. The neoliberal approach is illustrated with Chile’s health se…
Diffusion of community empowerment strategies for Aedes aegypti control in Cuba
Diagnostic work-up and loss of tuberculosis suspects in Jogjakarta, Indonesia
The high rate of patients lost in health centres needs to be addressed through the implementation of TB suspect tracing and better programme supervision. The national TB algorithm needs to be revised and differentiated according to the level of care
Community health insurance in Uganda
The estimated per capita annual health expenditure adopted in 2010 Uganda Country health financing review by a combined team of Ministry of Health, WHO Country office and Geneva was US$ 27; the government and donors accounted for half of this and another half came from private out-of-pocket spending. The funding is inadequate compared to the US$ 44 advocated by WHO. Amid political pressure and the exclusion of access to care of more than 50% of t…

Process-oriented fidelity research assists in evaluation, adjustment and scaling-up of community-based interventions
Fidelity research can help to answer essential questions about the diffusion process of innovative health interventions and provide insights for further scaling-up and institutionalization. This study assessed fidelity and reinvention in the implementation of a community-based control strategy for Aedes aegypti control. The intervention was implemented in 16 study areas in La Lisa, a municipality of Havana, Cuba. Its major components were: organi…

Community health insurance in Gudalur, India, increases access to hospital care
BACKGROUND: To reduce the burden of out-of-pocket payments on households in India, the government has introduced community health insurance (CHI) as part of its National Rural Health Mission. Indian CHI schemes have been shown to provide financial protection and have the potential to improve quality of care, but do not seem to improve access. This study examines this dimension of CHI performance and explores conditions under which a CHI scheme ca…
Epidemiology and control of Marburg haemorrhagic fever epidemics in Central Africa
Health through People's Empowerment
Analysis of the academic discourse on participation, empowerment, and the right to health since the 1978 Alma-Ata International Conference on Primary Health Care and the subsequent Alma-Ata Declaration shows that each phase of the evolution of these concepts added important new aspects to the discussion. This article focuses on three crucial issues that relate to these additions: the importance of social class when analyzing the essentials of com…
Augmenting frameworks for appraising the practices of community-based health interventions
This paper aims at augmenting the frameworks proposed by Rifkin in 1996 to distinguish between target-oriented and empowerment approaches to participation in community-based health interventions. In her paper, Rifkin defined three criteria: who makes decisions on resource allocation, expected outcome and outcome assessment. We propose five additional criteria: the definition of community, the characteristics of the capacity-building process, the …

Participating in the response effort to the second major Marburg HF outbreak in Uige, Angola 2005, …
Cuba's health system
Cuba's exclusively public health system has been quite unique in pairing limited resources with excellent results. It continued to perform well during the economic crisis of the 1990s, and now that the hardships are being overcome, new opportunities are developing-as well as threats: (1) economic recovery should permit reinforcing of the system's effectiveness; (2) Cuba's increasing international solidarity in health also poses it corresponding c…
El ingreso en el hogar y su costo directo en Cuba
A longer length of stay was observed in the mountainous rural area; however, this was where the lowest per-patient and per-day costs were incurred. Length of stay can be used as an indicator for measuring the quality of home care services. From a cost perspective, length of stay must be evaluated based on diagnosis and geographic area
