Health workers’ motivation was significantly higher in private hospitals than public hospitals influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors in Northwest Ethiopia
Background Motivation of health workers is crucial for providing high-quality healthcare services and improving the performance of health facilities. However, less attention has been given to this aspect of workplace climate in hospital settings, and there is scant evidence on the level of health workers’ motivation on healthcare delivery. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the motivation of health workers and its determinants at public and pr…
Half of the mothers had poor delivery referral practices in public hospitals of Bahir Dar City Northwest, Ethiopia
Background: Policy makers and stakeholders may benefit from understanding maternal delivery referral practices as they develop efficient mechanisms to implement appropriate referral linkage. However, the practice of maternal delivery referral is not well known. This study aims to assess the maternal referral practices and associated factors among laboring mothers referred to public hospitals of Bahir Dar City, Northwest, Ethiopia. Method: In the …
Left behind in primary healthcare
People with disabilities, who make up 1.3 billion globally, frequently face systemic exclusion from healthcare due to a range of barriers. This qualitative study explored the healthcare access experiences of 30 adults with disabilities in Bahir Dar City, Ethiopia, aiming to identify barriers, facilitators, and context-driven solutions. Both purposive and snowball sampling was conducted to identify participants. In-depth interviews were conducted …
Health impacts of armed conflict in Ethiopia
This scoping review revealed that armed conflict in Ethiopia has had a profound and interrelated impact on public health, disproportionately affecting women, children, and internally displaced populations. The findings underscore the urgent need for coordinated, multisectoral interventions that restore essential health services, strengthen mental health support, and ensure continuity of care for chronic and infectious diseases. Future research sh…
Internet use, spatial variation and its determinants among reproductive age women in Ethiopia
Internet use among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia is 4.97 and has significant spatial variation across the country. Both community- and individual-level factors affect Internet use in Ethiopia. Therefore, educating women, improving access to media, encouraging women to use family planning, and supporting household wealth could improve women's Internet use
Population-level risks of alcohol consumption by amount, geography, age, sex, and year
BACKGROUND: The health risks associated with moderate alcohol consumption continue to be debated. Small amounts of alcohol might lower the risk of some health outcomes but increase the risk of others, suggesting that the overall risk depends, in part, on background disease rates, which vary by region, age, sex, and year. METHODS: For this analysis, we constructed burden-weighted dose-response relative risk curves across 22 health outcomes to esti…
Global, regional, and national progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 for neonatal and child health
BACKGROUND: Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 has targeted elimination of preventable child mortality, reduction of neonatal death to less than 12 per 1000 livebirths, and reduction of death of children younger than 5 years to less than 25 per 1000 livebirths, for each country by 2030. To understand current rates, recent trends, and potential trajectories of child mortality for the next decade, we present the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, a…
Causes of blindness and vision impairment in 2020 and trends over 30 years, and prevalence of avoidable blindness in relation to Vision 2020
BACKGROUND: Many causes of vision impairment can be prevented or treated. With an ageing global population, the demands for eye health services are increasing. We estimated the prevalence and relative contribution of avoidable causes of blindness and vision impairment globally from 1990 to 2020. We aimed to compare the results with the World Health Assembly Global Action Plan (WHA GAP) target of a 25% global reduction from 2010 to 2019 in avoidab…
Hearing loss prevalence and years lived with disability, 1990–2019
BACKGROUND: Hearing loss affects access to spoken language, which can affect cognition and development, and can negatively affect social wellbeing. We present updated estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study on the prevalence of hearing loss in 2019, as well as the condition's associated disability. METHODS: We did systematic reviews of population-representative surveys on hearing loss prevalence from 1990 to 2019. We fitted nested…
Global burden of 87 risk factors in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019
BACKGROUND: Rigorous analysis of levels and trends in exposure to leading risk factors and quantification of their effect on human health are important to identify where public health is making progress and in which cases current efforts are inadequate. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 provides a standardised and comprehensive assessment of the magnitude of risk factor exposure, relative risk, and attribu…
Global burden of 369 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019
BACKGROUND: In an era of shifting global agendas and expanded emphasis on non-communicable diseases and injuries along with communicable diseases, sound evidence on trends by cause at the national level is essential. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) provides a systematic scientific assessment of published, publicly available, and contributed data on incidence, prevalence, and mortality for a mutually exclusive…
Determinants of enrollment decision in the community-based health insurance, North West Ethiopia
OBJECTIVE: To identify the determinants for enrollment decision in the community-based health insurance program among informal economic sector-engaged societies, North West Ethiopia. METHOD: Unmatched case-control study was conducted on 148 cases (member-to-insurance) and 148 controls (not-member-to-insurance program) from September 1 to October 30,2016. To select the villages and households, stratified then simple random sampling method was empl…
