  • A baseline assessment of antimicrobial stewardship core element implementation in selected public hospitals in Malawi

    Open AccessRonald Chitatanga, Chikhulupiliro Yiwombe et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In Malawi, frequent stockouts of essential medicines and the widespread dispensing of antibiotics without prescriptions have exacerbated the AMR burden, highlighting the urgent need for robust antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) interventions. This study presents the first documented baseline assessment of AMS…

  • We might have been prescribing antibiotics to clients who do not need them”

    Open AccessEmily J Ciccone, Alfonso Zubizarreta Gutiérrez et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    In many resource-constrained settings, community health workers (CHW) often provide the initial care for children under five years of age. As part of integrated community case management (iCCM) programs, CHW frequently diagnose and treat acute respiratory illness (ARI), a leading cause of pediatric mortality and indication for antibiotic use globally. Yet knowledge and perceptions of antibiotic prescribing for ARI among CHW are not well-studied. …

  • Comparison of commercially available, rapid, point-of-care C-reactive protein assays among children with febrile illness in southwestern Uganda

    Open AccessCaitlin A Cassidy, Lydiah Kabugho et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    In Uganda, children with febrile illness are often treated with antibiotics even though most have self-limiting, likely viral, infections. C-reactive protein (CRP) measurement can help identify those who are more likely to have a bacterial infection and therefore need antibiotic treatment. Implementation of a CRP rapid diagnostic test (RDT) at the point-of-care in resource-constrained settings with minimal laboratory infrastructure could reduce u…

  • At-home testing to mitigate community transmission of Sars-CoV-2

    Open AccessEmily J Ciccone, Donaldson F Conserve et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    This is the first large-scale, public health intervention implementing rapid, at-home SARS-CoV-2 self-testing in the United States. The program consists of a novel combination of an at-home testing program, a broad communications and community engagement strategy, an ecological study to assess impact, and a research substudy of the behavioral aspects of testing. The findings from the SYCT project will provide insights into innovative methods to m…

  • Lessons learned from the development and implementation of an electronic paediatric emergency and acute care database in Lilongwe, Malawi

    Open AccessEmily J Ciccone, Alyssa E Tilly et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    As the field of global child health increasingly focuses on inpatient and emergency care, there is broad recognition of the need for comprehensive, accurate data to guide decision-making at both patient and system levels. Limited financial and human resources present barriers to reliable and detailed clinical documentation at hospitals in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH) is a tertiary referral hospital in Mal…
