Effects of climate change-related hazards on food security and health within refugee settlements in Uganda
BACKGROUND: Climate change presents more dire impacts on food security and health in Africa than any other region worldwide. These impacts are expectedly more pronounced in predominantly agrarian refugee settings like Uganda, which is also the largest refugee host in Africa. However, there is limited contextual evidence regarding the effects of climate change-related hazards in Uganda to guide context-relevant interventions amidst the ongoing aid…
Trends in malaria prevalence among school-age children in Mainland Tanzania, 2015–2023
In high-transmission areas, school-aged children have higher malaria prevalence and contribute significantly to the transmission reservoir. Malaria infections can be asymptomatic or present with symptoms which may contribute to anaemia, severe illness and fatal malaria. This analysis provides trends of malaria prevalence and associated risk factors among school-aged children in mainland Tanzania. Data for this analysis were obtained from nationwi…
Malaria-malnutrition interaction
Although substantial efforts to control malaria are ongoing in the study setting, the dual burden of malaria and malnutrition remains significant. Anti-malaria use for preventive purpose may not be sufficient to improve nutritional status, reinforcing that integrated interventions are required to address both malaria and malnutrition. Public health efforts should combine malaria control with nutrition programs, including community-driven strategi…
An ancillary care policy in a vaccine trial conducted in a resource-constrained setting
INTRODUCTION: Clear guidelines to implement ancillary care (AC) in clinical trials conducted in resource-constrained settings are lacking. Here, we evaluate an AC policy developed for a vaccine trial in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and formulate policy recommendations. METHODS: To evaluate the AC policy, we performed a longitudinal cohort study, nested in an open-label, single-centre, randomised Ebola vaccine trial conducted among healthc…
Researchers’ responsibilities in resource-constrained settings
In this paper, we discuss challenges associated with implementing a policy for Ancillary Care (AC) for related and unrelated (serious) adverse events during an Ebola vaccine trial conducted in a remote area of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Conducting clinical trials in resourceconstrained settings can raise context-related challenges that have implications for study participants’ health and wellbeing. During the Ebola vaccine study, three…
Dietary outcomes of community-based CVD preventive interventions
Objective: We aimed to synthesise available evidence on the effects of community-based interventions in improving various dietary outcome measures. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Setting: We searched databases including Medline, EMBASE, PSYCINFO, CINAHL and the Cochrane registry for studies reported between January 2000 and June 2022. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias to…
Implementation of a malaria prevention education intervention in Southern Ethiopia
Low attendance of parents in the training was the major challenge for the success of MPE. National malaria program should ensure the access to malaria prevention measures; and future studies using increased frequency of the intervention embedded with monitoring adherence to the intervention protocol shall be conducted to improve the gains from existing malaria interventions
Knowledge and practices of general practitioners at district hospitals towards cervical cancer prevention in Burundi, 2015
BACKGROUND: Well-organized screening and treatment programmes are effective to prevent Invasive Cervical Cancer (ICC) in LMICs. To achieve this, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the involvement of existing health personnel in casu doctors, nurses, midwives in ICC prevention. A necessary precondition is that health personnel have appropriate knowledge about ICC. Therefore, to inform policy makers and training institutions in Burundi,…
Effectiveness of educational outreach in infectious diseases management
Effects of OSS on workload were not statistically significant. Significant OSS effects on facility performance across subgroups were heterogeneous. OSS supported MLP who diagnosed and treated patients to apply IMID knowledge. For other providers, OSS supported team work to manage emergency patients. This evidence on OSS effectiveness could inform interventions to improve health workers' capacity to deliver better quality infectious diseases care
Malaria policies versus practices, a reality check from Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo
This study shows the discrepancy between malaria policies and the reality on the field in Kinshasa, regarding patients' health seeking behaviour and health professionals' practices. Consequently, the poor compliance to the policies may contribute to the genesis and spread of antimalarial drug resistance and also have a negative impact on the burden of the disease
