Maternal Mortality in Nepal
Nearly all maternal deaths are preventable, yet Nepal’s maternal mortality ratio remains high, with social and geographic disparities. Beyond direct obstetric causes, factors such as education, income, and place of residence influence maternal mortality risk, but disaggregated national data remain limited. This study examined the social determinants and timing of maternal deaths in Nepal to identify high-risk groups and inform targeted interventi…
High-Risk Sexual Contacts in Nepal and India Among Male Labor Migrants
Progress Toward the Elimination of Vertical HIV Transmission in Nepal
Despite global advancements, pregnant women living with HIV in Nepal remain at risk for vertical transmission. This study examined demographic and clinical characteristics, antiretroviral therapy (ART) retention, and transmission outcomes among this population. A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using data from Nepal’s national electronic HIV register, including 322 women who became pregnant between 2020 and 2023. We analyzed sociodemo…
Opioid overdose and mortality among people who use or inject drugs in Myanmar
Opioid overdose is common and disproportionately affects people outside existing programs. Expanding peer‐led and mobile outreach, tailoring referral pathways for migrants, broadening community naloxone distribution, and securing sustained domestic financing are urgent priorities
Global age-sex-specific mortality, life expectancy, and population estimates in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1950–2021, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic
BACKGROUND: Estimates of demographic metrics are crucial to assess levels and trends of population health outcomes. The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations worldwide has underscored the need for timely estimates to understand this unprecedented event within the context of long-term population health trends. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 provides new demographic estimates for 204 cou…
Global incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (Dalys), and healthy life expectancy (Hale) for 371 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territor…
BACKGROUND: Detailed, comprehensive, and timely reporting on population health by underlying causes of disability and premature death is crucial to understanding and responding to complex patterns of disease and injury burden over time and across age groups, sexes, and locations. The availability of disease burden estimates can promote evidence-based interventions that enable public health researchers, policy makers, and other professionals to im…
High Interest in the Use of mHealth Platform for HIV Prevention among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Nepal
Assessing the Nepalese health system’s readiness to manage gender-based violence and deliver psychosocial counselling
Violence against women (VAW), particularly intimate partner violence (IPV) or domestic violence, is a major public health issue, garnering more attention globally post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown. Health providers often represent the first point of contact for IPV victims. Thus, health systems and health providers must be equipped to address survivors’ physical, sexual and mental health care needs. However, there is a notable lac…
Disease Burden Attributed to Drug use in the Nordic Countries
The Nordic countries share similarities in many social and welfare domains, but drug policies have varied over time and between countries. We wanted to compare differences in mortality and disease burden attributed to drug use over time. Using results from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, we extracted age-standardized estimates of deaths, DALYs, YLLs and YLDs per 100 000 population for Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden during…
The impact of border crossing and imprisonment on injection practices and risk of HIV and hepatitis C infection among men who inject drugs in Nepal
Imprisonment and border crossing were associated with injection risk behavior and disease outcomes. These findings indicate a need to implement cross-border disease surveillance and harm reduction initiatives in the Indo-Nepal border region and in Nepali prisons
Global, regional, and national progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 for neonatal and child health
BACKGROUND: Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 has targeted elimination of preventable child mortality, reduction of neonatal death to less than 12 per 1000 livebirths, and reduction of death of children younger than 5 years to less than 25 per 1000 livebirths, for each country by 2030. To understand current rates, recent trends, and potential trajectories of child mortality for the next decade, we present the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, a…
Trends and determinants of HIV transmission among men who inject drugs in the Pokhara Valley, Nepal
The prevalence of HIV in male PWIDs in Pokhara has been variable, but overall has reduced in recent years to 2.6% before increasing in 2017 to 4.9%. The main determinants which increase the risk of HIV among male PWIDs in Pokhara are low education level, a lack of treatment for drug addiction and the recent use of unsterilised equipment. Each of these indicate the need to improve addiction treatment and education programs for intra-venous drug us…
Mapping inequalities in exclusive breastfeeding in low- and middle-income countries, 2000-2018
Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF)-giving infants only breast-milk for the first 6 months of life-is a component of optimal breastfeeding practices effective in preventing child morbidity and mortality. EBF practices are known to vary by population and comparable subnational estimates of prevalence and progress across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are required for planning policy and interventions. Here we present a geospatial analysis of E…
