The global health case report
BOX Global health case reports published by BMJ Case Reports analyse the social determinants of health (the causes of the causes of disease in individual patients)
Evolution of Health-Related Quality of Life Among Migrant Minors in Transit to the United States According to their Socioeconomic Context
The population of migrant and refugee children and adolescents increased in the first two decades of the 21st century in the Americas region. This analysis was conducted with the aim of shedding light on the association between the living conditions of migrant minors in Mexico, one of the main transit countries for migrants in the region, and the evolution of health-related quality of life throughout the migration process. Data were collected on …
Costs and cost-effectiveness of community health worker programs on reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health in low- and middle-income countries (2015–2024)
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are vital in delivering primary health care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). To inform their broader rollout, this study updates a 2015 review, critically examining the costs, cost-effectiveness and affordability of reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health (RMNCH) CHW programs in LMICs. A scoping review was conducted using ten databases and grey literature, covering studies published between Aug…
Evidence on interventions that promote the mental health and psychosocial wellbeing of migrant, refugee and asylum-seeker children and adolescents in transit
Our study effectively describes existing interventions aimed at promoting MHPWB for minors in transit and their effectiveness and/or implementation process, as well as identifies gaps in the current evidence and lessons learned that can help improve future interventions
Costs and cost-effectiveness of community health worker programmes focussed on non-communicable diseases in low- and middle-income countries (2015–2024)
BACKGROUND: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death and morbidity worldwide, responsible for 7 out of 10 deaths, 86% occurring in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). As the NCD burden on health systems increases, community health workers (CHWs) have become increasingly involved in NCD care provision and management. This study updates a 2015 review to synthesise and critically analyse the recent evidence base on the c…
Costs and cost-effectiveness of integrated horizontal community health worker programmes in low- and middle-income countries (2015–2024)
BACKGROUND: Community health workers (CHWs) play a vital role in delivering primary health care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), addressing multiple diseases through horizontal programmes. Despite their effectiveness, there is a US$4.4 billion annual funding gap for professional CHW programmes. Some countries have adopted these programmes, while others require stronger economic evidence to justify investments. This study updates a 201…
Contributions of Civil Society Organizations to the Provision of Sexual and Reproductive Health Services to Vulnerable Populations in Latin America
The involvement of civil society organizations in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programs in Latin America began to expand during the health sector reforms era. These organizations have undergone significant changes over the decades, being able to collaborate with government agencies, the private sector and international agencies with the commitment to address the specific needs of vulnerable populations in the countries. We provide a synth…
Economic evaluations of community health worker programs focussed on neglected tropical diseases in low- and middle-income countries (2015–2024)
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a diverse group of more than twenty diseases caused by parasitic, bacterial, and viral infections, affecting more than one billion individuals worldwide. Economic evidence can help guide the investment in Community Health Workers (CHWs) who can help expand access to preventive and curative NTD services in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). A scoping review was conducted across ten databases and grey l…
Costs and cost-effectiveness of community health worker programs focussed on HIV, TB and malaria infectious diseases in low- and middle-income countries (2015–2024)
Infectious diseases remain a significant public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), with HIV, tuberculosis (TB), and malaria contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Community Health Workers (CHWs) play a pivotal role in addressing these diseases, yet evidence on the costs and cost-effectiveness of CHW-led interventions remains fragmented. We performed a scoping review, searching ten databases and the grey …
Manifestation, causes and approach to mental distress among the population of migrant and refugee women in Ecuador and Panama
This study represents a first step to improve current strategies for the prevention and care of mental distress in the population of migrant women in LAC. Evidence-based interventions such as the one in our study can contribute to reducing inequities based on gender and migration status in mental health and access to mental health services in the region
Health status and living conditions of north-bound migrant minors in Mexico at place of origin and during the migration journey
The passage of north-bound migrants through Mexico has increased dramatically in the last decade, with an increasing proportion of minors. However, there is still little evidence on the health status and living conditions of migrant minors in transit through Mexico. The aim of this study was to better characterize the evolution of health status and its contributing factors in this population from the place of origin to the period of travel. We co…
Perceptions around occupational mental well-being of community health workers and an intervention package for its promotion
The challenging working conditions experienced by community health workers (CHWs) have an impact on their mental health, as detected by the NGO Compañeros En Salud (CES) in rural Mexico. In response to this situation, CES designed through a participatory process a package of interventions to promote the mental well-being of CHWs, beginning implementation in 2021. The objective of the present study was to learn how CES CHWs' work affects their men…
A Qualitative Study on the Work and Challenges Faced by Non-Governmental Organizations Providing Sexual and Reproductive Health Services to Vulnerable Populations in Guatemala
A comprehensive and healthcare equity promoting response by a civil society–public partnership to Covid-19 in Chiapas, Mexico
Following the first COVID-19 case in Chiapas, Mexico in March 2020, the non-governmental organisation Compañeros En Salud (CES) and the state’s Ministry of Health (MOH) decided to join forces to respond to the global pandemic. The collaboration was built over 8 years of partnership to bring healthcare to underserved populations in the Sierra Madre region. The response consisted of a comprehensive SARS-CoV-2 infection prevention and control progra…
The impact of Covid-19 and national pandemic responses on health service utilisation in seven low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted health services worldwide, which may have led to increased mortality and secondary disease outbreaks. Disruptions vary by patient population, geographic area, and service. While many reasons have been put forward to explain disruptions, few studies have empirically investigated their causes. OBJECTIVE: We quantify disruptions to outpatient services, facility-based deliveries, and family planning in …
Transforming care for patients living with diabetes in rural Mexico
BACKGROUND: Global prevalence of diabetes is increasing, causing widespread morbidity, mortality and increased healthcare costs. Providing quality care in a timely fashion to people with diabetes in low-resource settings can be challenging. In the underserved state of Chiapas, Mexico, which has some of the lowest diabetes detection and control rates in the country, there is a need to implement strategies that improve care for patients with diabet…
Disruptions in maternal health service use during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has heterogeneously affected use of basic health services worldwide, with disruptions in some countries beginning in the early stages of the emergency in March 2020. These disruptions have occurred on both the supply and demand sides of healthcare, and have often been related to resource shortages to provide care and lower patient turnout associated with mobility restrictions and fear of contracting COVID-19 at facilities. I…
Protecting vulnerable communities and health professionals from Covid-19 associated mental health distress
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has stricken mental health worldwide. Marginalized populations in low- and middle-income countries have been the most affected, as they were already experiencing barriers to accessing mental health care prior to the pandemic and are unequally exposed to the stressors associated with the health emergency, such as economic ravages or increased risk of complicated disease outcomes. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper i…
