A Composite Indicator of Anxiety and Depression Signs in Children and Adolescents of Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Although mental health is critical at all stages of life, childhood and adolescence are especially sensitive periods, as psychological difficulties during these phases are shaped by multifaceted social, economic, and environmental factors and may lead to long-term biopsychosocial consequences. Understanding these determinants is complex because they involve interrelated sub-indicators. To address this challenge, this study developed composite ind…
Exploring challenges experienced by older persons in accessing health services in Malawi
Background: Malawi, like other developing countries, is not prepared to adequately address the health needs of older persons. Objectives: This article explores challenges older persons experience in accessing health care. Method: This article is based on data from two large. Conducted in Blantyre, Phalombe, Dowa and Rumphi Districts, the EquitAble study examined self-reported barriers. The GeoHealthAccess study examined geographical barriers, con…
Leaving no one behind
Maternal CoC completion was lower among WwD, especially those with lower socioeconomic status. Effective strategies that ensure disability-friendly maternal health care services will play a pivotal role. Maternal health service programs should prioritize women's disability status alongside other key socioeconomic factors and address health care barriers to ensure more equitable and comprehensive maternal health care

Promoting good policy for leadership and governance of health related rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Good governance may result in strengthened performance of a health system. Coherent policies are essential for good health system governance. The overall aim of this research is to provide the best available scientific evidence on principles of good policy related leadership and governance of health related rehabilitation services in less resourced settings. This research was also conducted to support development of the World Health O…
Seeking Biomedical and Traditional Treatment is a Spiritual Lapse Among Zionists
The Enabling Universal and Equitable Access to Healthcare for Vulnerable People in Resource Poor Settings in Africa (Equitable) Project was conducted in Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, and the Sudan between 2009 and 2012. It was aimed at determining the challenges which vulnerable groups, such as persons with disabilities, experience when accessing health care. It also aimed at identifying non-users of health services at the community level and re…
Policies and Processes for Social Inclusion
The application of EquiFrame in the analysis of sexual and reproductive health policies by Ivanova et al to a new thematic area, their selection of only some of the Core Concepts of human rights in health service provision and the addition of new vulnerable groups relevant to the purpose of their analysis, are all very welcome developments. We also applaud their application of EquiFrame to policies in countries where it has not previously been us…
‘You must carry your wheelchair’ – barriers to accessing healthcare in a South African rural area
BACKGROUND: There is international evidence that people with disabilities face barriers when accessing primary healthcare services and that there is inadequate information about effective interventions that work to improve the lives of people with disabilities, especially in low-income and middle-income countries. Poor rural residents generally experience barriers to accessing primary healthcare, and these problems are further exacerbated for peo…
Development process in Africa
A critical view of prevailing understandings of disability and development is key to producing the knowledge necessary to eradicate poverty amongst persons with disability and other vulnerable groups. Not only do we need research that is actually designed to reveal the mechanisms behind the disability-poverty relationship, we need research that is less tied up with broad political agreements that is not necessarily reflecting the realities at gro…

Learning from doing the EquitAble project
We identified contextual and process learning points, factors often not discussed in papers, which typically focus on the reporting of the 'content' of results
Perceptions of caring for children with disabilities
The findings of this research were that objective challenges are common and more significant than subjective challenges. Positive experiences were not as easily identified by the participants as the challenges faced. However, having analysed the data, carers do not experience their roles as entirely negative. They simply need the resources to deal with objective challenges which in a developing context are not easily attainable
Inclusion of vulnerable groups in health policies
The need for more information and knowledge on the needs of all vulnerable groups is evident. The current lack of mention and of any detail on how to address needs of vulnerable groups will significantly impair the access to equitable health care for all
Disability and Health
Disability is not a 'health problem'; however some people with disabilities do have increased health needs, and all people with disabilities have the same right to access health services as others. The number of people living with disabilities is increasing, due partly to increasing numbers of people living with the consequences of chronic communicable and non-communicable diseases. Based on recommendations of the World Report on Disability, whic…
Is Disability a Health Problem
We welcome Andrew Haig's critique of our paper, "Disability & Health: A research agenda" in Social Inclusion. Our paper sought to identify research priorities to better understand, provide enhanced services and a better quality of life for people with disabilities, particularly in relation to their health and wellbeing. Haig's critique makes several important points that deserve serious consideration. His comments reflect a view of the relationsh…
Core Concepts of Human Rights and Inclusion of Vulnerable Groups in the Disability and Rehabilitation Policies of Malawi, Namibia, Sudan, and South Africa
In recent decades, there has been a push to incorporate the World Health Organization “Health for All” principles in national, regional, and local health policy documents. However, there is still no methodology guiding the appraisal of such policies with regard to the extent that they address social inclusion. In this article, the authors report on the development of EquiFrame, a novel policy analysis framework that was used to evaluate the disab…
Perceived barriers to accessing health services among people with disabilities in rural northern Namibia
People living with disabilities (PWD) face unique problems in dealing with conventional healthcare facilities. We investigate the experiences of PWD as they access healthcare facilities in rural Namibia. More specifically, we investigate structural–environmental and process barriers to accessing health facilities. The study relied on semi-structured interviews and purposive sampling. The results showed PWD find it difficult to walk to health cent…
