Simulating the blood transfusion system in Kenya
The process of collecting blood from donors and making it available for transfusion requires a complex series of operations involving multiple actors and different resources at each step. Ensuring hospitals receive adequate and safe blood for transfusion is a common challenge across low- and middle-income countries, but is rarely addressed from a system level. This paper presents the first use of discrete event simulation to study the blood syste…

box Health information systems (HISs) are considered a core component or building block of health systems. HISs are expected to support evidence-informed decision making at each level.1 However, there are two implicit, and commonly held assumptions that are important to challenge: first, that information systems require information technology; and second, that information technology has no place for paper. While information systems are typically …
Lessons from a Health Policy and Systems Research programme exploring the quality and coverage of newborn care in Kenya
There are global calls for research to support health system strengthening in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). To examine the nature and magnitude of gaps in access and quality of inpatient neonatal care provided to a largely poor urban population, we combined multiple epidemiological and health services methodologies. Conducting this work and generating findings was made possible through extensive formal and informal stakeholder e…
Clinics as spaces of costly disclosure
Gay, bisexual and queer men in Singapore are disproportionately represented in prevalent HIV infections, relative to the general population. While anticipated stigma has been found to be a barrier to HIV/STI testing among gay, bisexual and queer men, little effort has been made to contextualise such stigma within the broader sociocultural milieu. We conducted 35 in-depth interviews with a purposively recruited sample of men in Singapore with a fo…
