Navigating an ambiguous abortion terrain in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Ethiopia liberalized its abortion law in 2004 and issued technical guidelines in 2006 to expand access to legal and safe abortion services. However, the implementation of this progressive policy is shaped by stigma, patriarchal norms, and influential actors. As a result, women seeking abortion are required either to negotiate these power dynamics or to go through unsafe procedures. Despite this policy overhaul, there is a paucity of data on how w…
Understanding the crux of refugees’ health inequities
Ethiopia has a longstanding history of providing refuge to forcibly displaced people. This commitment to refugee protection is underscored by progressive domestic policies and international commitments the country made to protect refugee rights. However, the country’s reliance on camp-based refugee protection has overshadowed these aspirations. Within these camps, highly regulated service provision and restricted out-of-camp movement limit refuge…
Addressing scabies among street children in Ethiopia
Introduction: Scabies is a neglected tropical disease that affects the physical, socioeconomic, and psychological wellbeing of patients. Street children, due to poor living conditions and social marginalization, are at increased risk of infestation and face significant barriers to access healthcare services. Various interventions to control scabies have been suggested and implemented, but few have been based on the needs and viewpoints of the str…
Exploring perceptions on vulnerabilities and resilience to scabies among street children
Peer-led, integrated health education interventions are crucial in reducing street children's vulnerability to scabies. These efforts should actively engage street children and their support networks. Additionally, gender-specific interventions should be developed to address the unique vulnerabilities of male and female street children, tailoring health communication accordingly
Stigma and illness management among podoconiosis patients in rural Ethiopia
This study advances the understanding of podoconiosis' complex psychosocial dimensions and offers actionable insights for designing contextually appropriate public health interventions. It underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions to address the root causes of stigma and the barriers to care. Community-based education to dispel misconceptions, improved healthcare accessibility, and culturally adapted support systems could improve car…
It totally depends on the goodwill of the health professional”
With the absence of adequate targeted interventions and policy frameworks, responding to the healthcare and other needs of street children infested with scabies remains a highly neglected issue. Identifying street children's access to healthcare services and the intricacies of policy environments driving morbidity from scabies, this study indicated the important steps that should be taken toward addressing inequity related to a neglected tropical…
The role of NGOs in mainstreaming services for podoconiosis into healthcare facilities
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) have played an important role in supporting progress towards the goals of the WHO Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) Roadmap 2021-30. Several NGOs have shifted from directly delivering NTD services to mainstreaming them to existing health systems. There is little information about the NGOs themselves – their organisational environments and their influence in mainstreaming NTD services and associated challenges.…
We need to confirm at least from two or three”
Healthcare workers' practices in this rural area were found to challenge the basic provisions laid out in Ethiopia's abortion legislation. Their negative discretion of the legislation contributes to the substantial barriers Ethiopian abortion-seeking women face in gaining access to legal abortion services, despite the presence of a progressive legal framework and guidelines
Experiences and lessons from structural interventions against Covid-19 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Going forward, these challenges need to be taken into consideration when designing and implementing structural interventions to contain disease outbreaks effectively. The study highlighted that attempts to withstand pandemic in low- and middle-income settings shall successfully utilize local resources, act swiftly when pandemics outbreak and adjust themselves to the dynamic challenges and limitations of structural interventions
A social-ecological view of the factors affecting the effectiveness of reintegration interventions targeting children out of family-based care situations
Children outside of family-based care, as in the case of those living on the streets or in residential care, are in vulnerable situations. Because a protracted stay out of family-based care implies further susceptibility, reintegrating these children into the community through reunification with families or other exit strategies as early as possible is highly recommended. Although most service providers working with vulnerable children do not tar…
Health seeking behavior of street connected children in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Awareness of the presence of health risks and perceived susceptibility to the risks promoted both preventive behavior and positive compliance in relation to illness response among children of the street in Addis Ababa
Perceived Susceptibility and Responses to Ill-health Risks among Children of the Street in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
This study identifies perceptions about susceptibility and responses to health risks among children of the street in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews from 22 purposely selected street children. In addition to the field notes, audio was recorded, transcribed and translated into English. After coding the responses, themes and sub-themes were identified, followed by interpretations …
Burden of malaria, impact of interventions and climate variability in Western Ethiopia
Malaria was and will remain to be a major public health problem in the area. The social and economic impact of the disease on the local community is clearly pronounced as it is the leading cause of health facility visit and admission including the mortality associated with it. Scale up of effective interventions is quite important. Continuous monitoring of the performance of the vector control tools needs to be done
An uneasy compromise’
While silence as a strategy works to protect the law enhancing the health and survival of young women, it may at the same time prevent the law from being fully effective. As a long term strategy, silence fails to expand awareness and access to safe abortion services, and may not sufficiently serve to fulfill the potential of the law to prevent abortion related maternal deaths
Health needs, health care seeking behaviour, and utilization of health services among lesbians, gays and bisexuals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Homophobia and criminalization of homosexuality, and heteronormativity of health care services intersect with LGB's social position resulting in heterogeneity of risk, diversity of sexual and mental health needs, and difference in coping mechanisms (disadvantages and privilege). The main implication of the study is the need to recognize the existence of LGB and their diverse sexual and mental health needs, and link them to appropriate health care…
The access paradox
Legal frameworks are vital instruments for securing the right to health, but broad contextualized studies rather than classifications of law along a liberal-restrictive continuum are demanded in order to enhance existing knowledge on access to safe abortion services in a given context
Applying mental model methods to characterize understanding of gene-environment influences
The rapid pace of genomic discovery has raised public expectation and concerns about the utility of new discoveries and their potential to exacerbate health disparities. Improving literacy concerning gene and environmental (GxE) contributors to disease is needed to avoid commonly observed deterministic misconceptions about genomics. Mental models approaches that incorporate community engagement processes could be used to inform GxE literacy-build…
Factors related to discontinued clinic attendance by patients with podoconiosis in southern Ethiopia
Several of these factors are remediable through community and individual information and education. Appropriate routes to deliver this information must be identified. Certain factors (such as distance to clinic sites and stigma) require substantial expansion of services or liaison with village-level government health services
A Last Resort and Often Not an Option at All’
Development policies in Ethiopia emphasise agriculture as the pathway to industrialisation. Policies allude to the need for a new generation of young, literate and trained farmers to transform the agricultural sector and bring about the required growth in agricultural output. The success of this strategy largely depends on the willingness of the new generation of literate rural youth to take up agriculture as a potentially rewarding livelihood. T…
Heteronormativity and ‘troubled’ masculinities among men who have sex with men in Addis Ababa
In most societies, heterosexuality is the dominant way of expressing sexuality and masculinity and those men outside of it are stigmatised and discriminated against. This paper explores the sexual lives of men who have sex with men and the personal and social conflicts that arise as they attempt to both live up to societal expectations and manage their sexual desires. It critically explores how an overriding heteronormativity structures and influ…
Surviving on the Streets
The increasing number of street children is one of the most serious social problems facing Ethiopia today. As many as 200,000 children may be living on the streets. Studies in other countries have shown the importance of understanding sexual attitudes and behaviour among street children, particularly with regard to HIV/Aids. However in Ethiopia almost all studies of adolescent sexuality and HIV/Aids have been conducted among high school and colle…
