  • Barriers and enablers to the utilisation of prison-based voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) among incarcerated men

    Open AccessNelson Tengamowa Munthali, Adrian M Musiige et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2026

    The prevalence of HIV in Malawi is 7.1% among the general population and 16% among men who are incarcerated, indicating a widespread epidemic. To enhance HIV prevention in the nation, the Ministry of Health has made efforts to offer voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) services in prisons as an intervention to strengthen HIV prevention in the country. However, little is known about the barriers and enablers to the utilisation of VMMC among …

  • When Are Health Systems Ready for New Vaccines? The Introduction of Pneumococcal Vaccine in Malawi

    Lot Nyirenda, Lot Jata Nyirenda et al.ARTICLEForum for Development Studies2014Referências: 2

    Increasing coverage of routine immunisation and new vaccines is key to reaching Millennium Development Goal number four (MDG 4) on reducing child mortality. Malawi, despite a weak health system, is on track to achieve MDG 4, partly because of its high-performing immunisation programme. Among the early adopters of new vaccines, with major support from Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation, Malawi introduced pneumococcal vaccine in 2011 dur…

  • Frontline Vaccinators and Immunisation Coverage in Malawi

    Lot Nyirenda, Rune FlikkeARTICLEForum for Development Studies2012Citada por: 3Referências: 5

    Access to health services for the poor, especially in the Global South, is a major challenge to achieving health targets like those under the millennium development goals. In Malawi, health surveillance assistants (HSAs) have been instrumental in bringing health services, including immunisation, to remote areas amidst an acute shortage of professional healthcare workers. On the basis of ethnographic fieldwork and historical sources, we describe a…

  • Negotiating multiple barriers

    Ireen Namakhoma, Grace Bongololo et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    Malawi is facing a severe HIV and AIDS epidemic with an estimated 12% of its population living with the virus. Health workers are on the front lines of the HIV epidemic and they face the risk of HIV infection in both their personal and professional lives. This mixed method study aimed to explore the enablers and barriers to HIV counselling and testing and antiretroviral therapy by health workers in Malawi. After qualitative data were collected th…

  • Prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV infection

    Open AccessDeirdre A O'Gorman, Lot Nyirenda et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    PMTCT was seen as a community issue in which more than the mother alone can be involved. To support access to PMTCT, especially for rural women, there is need for further innovation and implementation research on involving TBAs in some aspects of PMTCT services, and in negotiating with women which community members, if any, they would like to support them in ensuring that newborn babies receive nevirapine

  • Quality of care in nutritional rehabilitation in HIV-endemic Malawi

    Open AccessPamela Fergusson, Kingsley Chikaphupha et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2009

    In Malawi, HIV and malnutrition are two of the most common causes of childhood morbidity and mortality. This qualitative study based in Nutrition Rehabilitation Units (NRU) in HIV-endemic Malawi explores caregiver's (staff and family) perspectives on quality of care for severely malnourished children. Three carer focus groups and 30 carer and staff in-depth interviews were conducted in two NRUs. The interviews and data analysis used a grounded th…

  • Who has access to counseling and testing and anti-retroviral therapy in Malawi – an equity analysis

    Open AccessIreen Makwiza, Lot Nyirenda et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2009

    To promote equitable access for CT and ART in Malawi there is need to further invest in human resources for health, and seize opportunities to integrate CT and ART services with tuberculosis, sexually transmitted infections and maternal health services. This should not only promote access to services but also ensure that resources available for CT and ART strengthen rather than undermine the provision of the essential health package in Malawi. On…

  • A gender perspective on HIV treatment in Malawi

    Lot Nyirenda, Ireen Makwiza et al.ARTICLEGender & Development2006Citada por: 3

    In this article, we use a synthesis of findings from four studies we have conducted to argue that gender issues influence people's access to HIV testing and counselling services, as well as their access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) services. Gender issues also influence the costs, including opportunity costs, of using and adhering to HIV treatment. In addition, stigma – which affects use and adherence to treatment – is experienced differently …
