Spatial profiling of geographical accessibility to maternal healthcare and coverage of maternal health service utilisation in Nepal
BACKGROUND: Information on geographical accessibility to maternal healthcare (MHC) and coverage of maternal health service utilisation at high spatial resolution in Nepal are important for evidence-based health planning. METHODS: Based on the Nepal Health Facility Registry dataset in 2022, we measured the geographical accessibility to MHC facilities across Nepal. Using data from 2022 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey and other sources, we asses…
Organization of services for severe chronic Noncommunicable diseases at first-level hospitals in nine lower-income countries
Severe chronic noncommunicable diseases pose a significant health burden and challenges for health systems globally. This study aims to advance our understanding of the current organization of care for these conditions in low and lower-middle-income countries. The study was conducted as part of a baseline assessment of facilities prior to the initiation of the Package of Essential NCD Interventions -Plus (PEN-Plus) strategy, which is designed to …
Contributing and mitigating factors of brain drain among healthcare workers from cardiac care facilities in Nepal - A qualitative case study
The migration of health experts seeking better opportunities, both nationally and internationally, is a growing concern due to its impact on health systems, particularly in developing countries. The provision of cardiovascular and other specialized medical care requires a skilled workforce, yet the factors driving brain drain among cardiac care health workers remain underexplored. This study assessed the factors influencing the brain drain of car…
Exploring ways to support patients with noncommunicable diseases
Global healthcare systems have faced unprecedented strain due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with a profound impact on individuals with non-communicable diseases (NCDs), a scenario particularly pronounced in low-income countries like Nepal. This study aimed to understand the experiences of and challenges faced by patients with NCDs in Nepal during the pandemic, focusing on healthcare service availability and identifying factors affecting healthcare us…
Effectiveness of oral health promotion interventions for people with type 2 diabetes delivered by non-dental health care professionals
Measuring Environmental Justice in Real Time
Individuals' perceived fairness or justice beliefs are related to health in numerous ways. However, environment justice research to date has given little attention to perceived fairness of environmental exposures as experienced by individuals. This study explored the feasibility of a bottom-up digital participatory (via mobile phones) approach using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to capture individuals' subjective experience of environment…
Domesticating cleaner cookstoves for improved respiratory health
Drawing on village-based data from Nepal, this paper explores the transferability of the Integrated Behavioural Model for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (IBM-WASH) to the clean cooking sector and its potential to elucidate how barriers to improved cookstove adoption and sustained use intersect at different scales. The paper also explores the potential of IBM-WASH, behaviour settings theory and domestication analysis to collectively inform effectiv…
Is spurious penicillin allergy a major public health concern only in high-income countries
Inaccurate penicillin allergy labels (PALs) are a major public health problem in high-income countries and has been linked to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and huge healthcare costs. Data regarding epidemiology of PALs and its potential association with AMR is sparse in low-income countries (LICs), low-middle-income countries (LMICs) and upper-middle-income countries (UMICs). There are no established drug allergy labelling and delabelling pathwa…

Geographical heterogeneity and inequality of access to improved drinking water supply and sanitation in Nepal
This study showed considerable geographical heterogeneity and inequality not evidenced in previous national statistics. Our findings may be useful in prioritizing resources to reduce inequality and expand the coverage of improved water supply and sanitation in Nepal
Barriers and facilitators of diabetes services in Nepal
For the past three decades, the burden of diabetes in Nepal has been steadily increasing, with an estimated 3% annual increase since the year 2000. Although the burden is increasing, the methods of addressing the challenge have remained largely unchanged. This study sought to assess the current state of diabetes services provided by health facilities and to identify the major barriers that people with diabetes commonly face in Nepal. For this qua…
