Perceptions of childhood illness and pneumonia recognition
Paediatric healthcare in Manhiça district through a gender lens
Background: Sex and gender are important determinants of health. Gender-based health inequities in the paediatric population have been reported in various countries, but data remain limited. In Mozambique, research on this topic is very scarce. Here we aimed to explore whether boys and girls in Manhiça district, southern Mozambique, differ in access to and provision of healthcare. Methods: This retrospective analysis includes data on all paediatr…
Child mortality in Eastern Ethiopia
Mortality surveillance requires a thorough understanding of the cultural, religious, and sociocultural aspects that may affect the acceptability of MITS. MITS research should be conducted close to communities, involving community members, incorporating religious perspectives, and promoting health outreach campaigns to facilitate sociocultural perceptions of the research activities
Acceptability of minimally invasive autopsy by community members and healthcare workers in Siaya and Kisumu counties, western Kenya, 2017–2018
Worldwide, nearly six million children under the age of five (
Using traditional healers to treat child malnutrition
Through an exploration of people's own terminology and understandings of what a malnourished child is, as well as the underlying reasons for their illness, this paper explores how people understand malnutrition symptoms and why many tend to rely on healers rather than seeking care from health centres
Accuracy of verbal autopsy, clinical data and minimally invasive autopsy in the evaluation of malaria-specific mortality
BACKGROUND: Global malaria mortality estimates are hindered by the low reliability of the verbal autopsy (VA) and the clinical records, the most common sources of information used to estimate malaria-specific mortality. We aimed to determine the accuracy of these tools, as well as of the minimally invasive autopsy (MIA), a needle-based postmortem sampling method, to identify malaria-specific mortality in a large series of deceased patients from M…
Uncertainties, Fear and Stigma
Similar to other epidemics, knowledge about Zika virus (ZIKV) relies upon information often coming from outside the health system. This study aimed to explore views, perceptions and attitudes towards ZIKV among migrant women from Central and South America, diagnosed with ZIKV infection during pregnancy, and to comprehend healthcare professionals' perceptions of ZIKV. An exploratory qualitative study, based on phenomenology and grounded theory, wa…
Socio-anthropological methods to study the feasibility and acceptability of the minimally invasive autopsy from the perspective of local communities
The minimally invasive autopsy (MIA), an innovative approach for obtaining post-mortem samples of key organs, is increasingly being recognized as a robust methodology for cause of death (CoD) investigation, albeit so far limited to pilot studies and research projects. A better understanding of the real causes of death in middle- and low-income countries, where underlying causes of death are seldom determined, would allow improved health planning,…
