An anthropological history of Nepal’s Female Community Health Volunteer program
Across public health, an awareness of history is useful in understanding the present and avoiding past mistakes. These histories are often not well-archived, and risk getting lost. Lessons from the history of Nepal's FCHV program have much to offer present-day debates around CHW policies, particularly around gender, workload and payment
Breaking the silence on gendered harassment and assault of community health workers
INTRODUCTION: Across a variety of settings, women in tenuous financial circumstances are drawn to community health work as a way to advance themselves in the context of limited employment options. Female Community Health Workers (CHWs) are often preferred because they can more easily access mothers and children; at the same time, gender norms are at the heart of many of the challenges and inequities that these workers encounter. Here, we explore …
The anthropology of health systems
Ethnographies of health systems are a theoretically rich and rapidly growing area within medical anthropology. Critical ethnographic work dating back to the 1950s has taken policymakers and health staff as points of entry into the power structures that run through the global health enterprise. In the last decade, there has been a surge of ethnographic work on health systems. We conceptualize the anthropology of health systems as a field; review t…

Per Diems in Polio Eradication
Nearly all global health initiatives give per diems to community health workers (CHWs) in poor countries for short-term work on disease-specific programs. We interviewed CHWs, supervisors, and high-level officials (n = 95) in 6 study sites across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia in early 2012 about the per diems given to them by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. These per diems for CHWs ranged from $1.50 to $2.40 per day. International of…
The Global Context of Vaccine Refusal
Many of medical anthropology's most pressing research questions require an understanding how infections, money, and ideas move around the globe. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) is a $9 billion project that has delivered 20 billion doses of oral polio vaccine in campaigns across the world. With its array of global activities, it cannot be comprehensively explored by the traditional anthropological method of research at one field sit…
When Are Health Systems Ready for New Vaccines? The Introduction of Pneumococcal Vaccine in Malawi
Increasing coverage of routine immunisation and new vaccines is key to reaching Millennium Development Goal number four (MDG 4) on reducing child mortality. Malawi, despite a weak health system, is on track to achieve MDG 4, partly because of its high-performing immunisation programme. Among the early adopters of new vaccines, with major support from Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation, Malawi introduced pneumococcal vaccine in 2011 dur…
Methods for evaluating the impact of vertical programs on health systems
The study design has four major benefits: (1) the careful selection of a range of qualitative case studies allowed for systematic comparison; (2) the use of participant observation yielded important insights on how policy is put into practice; (3) results from our quantitative analysis could be explained by results from qualitative work; and (4) this research protocol can inform the creation of actionable recommendations. Here, recommendations fo…
