  • Situational analysis of malaria in Cabo Verde

    Open AccessAdilson José DePina, Jonas António Lopes Gomes et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    On 12 January 2024, Cabo Verde was officially certified by the WHO as a malaria-free country after six consecutive years without local transmission. This study analysed the malaria history of Cabo Verde from 1953 to certification in 2024, highlighted the valuable lessons learned, and discussed challenges for prevention reintroduction. Malaria data from the last 35 years (1988–2022) were analysed using descriptive analyses, and cases were mapped u…

  • The use of quarantine as an international travel measure during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessK Lee, Jane Williams et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, virtually all countries used a range of measures to mitigate the risks of virus introduction and onward transmission via international travel. Quarantine was a key international travel measure (ITM) used by governments to achieve public health goals. However, the highly varied ways in which quarantine was implemented makes lesson learning for future pandemics challenging. Moreover, most studies overlook the secondary…

  • Understanding the vaccine hesitancy of Covid-19 in Benin

    Open AccessDaleb Abdoulaye Alfa, Jean-Yves Le Hesran et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Vaccination campaigns against COVID-19 have been set up in all countries. The aim was to reach a sufficient vaccination threshold to ensure herd immunity. In Benin, the objective was to achieve 60% coverage. However, coverage was only 35% in May 2022. People were reluctant to be vaccinated. We had set up a population-based study to investigate these barriers to vaccination. Our approach was qualitative (80 semi-structured interviews with vaccinat…

  • Balancing realist review outputs with the needs of policymakers and practitioners

    Open AccessFerdinand C Mukumbang, Sonja Klingberg et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2025

    A realist review is a theory-driven approach to synthesizing evidence based on the realist philosophy of science. Realist reviews are conducted to provide the policy and practice community with a rich, detailed and practical understanding of complex social interventions that will likely be of much more use to them when planning and implementing programmes. Robust realist reviews must balance philosophical engagement, methodological rigour and rel…

  • Interventions to address antimicrobial resistance

    Open AccessSunil Pokharel, Bipin Adhikari et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health and one health problem. Efforts to mitigate the problem of AMR are challenging to implement due to unresolved ethical tensions. We present an in-depth ethical analysis of tensions that might hinder efforts to address AMR. First, there is a tension between access and excess in the current population: addressing lack of access requires facilitating use of antimicrobials for some populations, while a…

  • Enhanced or hindered research benefits? A realist review of community engagement and participatory research practices for non-communicable disease prevention in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessSonja Klingberg, Bipin Adhikari et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    INTRODUCTION: Community engagement and participatory research are widely used and considered important for ethical health research and interventions. Based on calls to unpack their complexity and observed biases in their favour, we conducted a realist review with a focus on non-communicable disease prevention. The aim was to generate an understanding of how and why engagement or participatory practices enhance or hinder the benefits of non-commun…

  • Community engagement and the centrality of ‘working relationships’ in health research

    Open AccessRobin Vincent, Dorcas Kamuya et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    Community engagement (CE) is widely accepted as a critical aspect of health research because of its potential to make research more ethical, relevant and well implemented. Although CE activities linked to international health research involving Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs; see author note) have proliferated and are increasingly described in published literature, there is a lack of conceptual clarity around how engagement is understood …

  • Implementation of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) testing for Plasmodium vivax case management, a mixed method study from Cambodia

    Open AccessSarah A Cassidy-Seyoum, Keoratha Chheng et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Plasmodium vivax remains a challenge for malaria elimination since it forms dormant liver stages (hypnozoites) that can reactivate after initial infection. 8-aminoquinolone drugs kill hypnozoites but can cause severe hemolysis in individuals with Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. The STANDARD G6PD test (Biosensor) is a novel point-of-care diagnostic capable of identifying G6PD deficiency prior to treatment. In 2021, Cambodia im…

  • Why do people sell their kidneys? A thematic synthesis of qualitative evidence

    Open AccessBijaya Shrestha, Luechai Sri-Ngernyuang et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Globally, demands for the kidneys have surpassed supply both living and deceased donors. High demands relative to the availability have made the kidney one of the most saleable human organs. The main objective was to explore the drivers of kidney selling. Literature related to kidney selling and its drivers was explored in three databases including MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus (Elsevier), and JSTOR covering the period from 1987 to 2022. A total of 15…

    Open AccessBipin Adhikari, Makhily Bayo et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    The reduction of deaths from malaria in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is stalling, whereas many countries in Southeast Asia are approaching malaria elimination. We reviewed the role of community health worker (CHW) programmes in malaria control and elimination between regions, with a more detailed description of the programmes in Tanzania and Cambodia. Compared with Tanzania, Cambodia has a much more developed CHW network, which has been pivotal in th…

    Open AccessPreeti Mahato, Bipin Adhikari et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Burgeoning morbidity and mortality due to COVID-19 pandemic including the peaks in outbreaks due to different variants have attracted global attention. Although the development and rolling out of vaccines have been impressive, low- and middle-income countries suffer from a double burden: (1) lack of adequate vaccines; and (2) low vaccine uptake (vaccine hesitancy). The main objective of this study was to explore perceptions around COVID-19 and va…
