Impact of the WHO emergency care toolkit on mortality in Zambia
INTRODUCTION: Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) suffer the highest rates of death and disability due to emergency conditions. Strong emergency care systems reduce the morbidity, acquired disability and mortality associated with a variety of emergency conditions and have the potential to impact over half of the annual deaths in LMICs. The WHO emergency care toolkit (ECT) is an open access bundle of simple interventions to support care of th…
Individual characteristics associated with road traffic collisions and healthcare seeking in low- and middle-income countries and territories
Incidence of road traffic collisions (RTCs), types of users involved, and healthcare requirement afterwards are essential information for efficient policy making. We analysed individual-level data from nationally representative surveys conducted in low- or middle-income countries (LMICs) between 2008–2019. We describe the weighted incidence of non-fatal RTC in the past 12 months, type of road user involved, and incidence of traffic injuries requi…
Essential Emergency and Critical Care
BACKGROUND: Globally, critical illness results in millions of deaths every year. Although many of these deaths are potentially preventable, the basic, life-saving care of critically ill patients are often overlooked in health systems. Essential Emergency and Critical Care (EECC) has been devised as the care that should be provided to all critically ill patients in all hospitals in the world. EECC includes the effective care of low cost and low co…
African authorship on African papers during the Covid-19 pandemic
With no known cure or vaccine, sharing of information and experiences in real-time became imperative to improving the standard of medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cases rapidly surged worldwide, and so too did medical publications. The international media and scientific community reported grave concerns about the capacity of fragile, overburdened healthcare systems as cases began to rise in low-resource settings (LRS), such as those in …

Seven pillars for ethics in digital diagnostic assistance among clinicians
Targeting ethical considerations tied to image-based mobile health diagnostic support specific to clinicians in low-resource settings
Background: mHealth applications assist workflow, help move towards equitable access to care, and facilitate care delivery. They have great potential to impact care in low-resource countries, but have significant ethical concerns pertaining to patient autonomy, safety, and justice.Objective: To achieve consensus among stakeholders on how to address concerns pertaining to autonomy, safety, and justice among mHealth developers and users in low-reso…
Reconceptualizing the role of emergency care in the context of global healthcare delivery
Since the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, innovation in global healthcare delivery has been recognized as a vital avenue for strengthening health systems and overcoming present implementation bottlenecks. In the recent rapid development of the science of global health-care delivery, emergency care-a critical element of the health system-has been widely overlooked. Emergency care plays a vital role in the health system throu…
A smartphone-based consultation system for acute burns – methodological challenges related to follow-up of the system
BACKGROUND: A smartphone-based consultation system for acute burns is currently being implemented in the Western Cape, South Africa. Even though studies indicate that similar systems for burns tend to support valid diagnosis and influence patient management, the evidence is still sparse. There is a need for more in-depth evaluations, not least in resource-constrained settings where mHealth projects are increasing. OBJECTIVE: This article describe…
Integrating mHealth at point of care in low- and middle-income settings
While the field represents a wide spectrum of products and services, many aspects of mHealth have great promise within resource-poor settings: there is an extensive range of cheap, widely available tools which can be used at the point of care delivery. However, there are a number of conditions which need to be met if such solutions are to be adequately integrated into existing health systems; we consider these from regulatory, technological and u…
A roadmap for the implementation of mHealth innovations for image-based diagnostic support in clinical and public-health settings
BACKGROUND: Diagnostic support for clinicians is a domain of application of mHealth technologies with a slow uptake despite promising opportunities, such as image-based clinical support. The absence of a roadmap for the adoption and implementation of these types of applications is a further obstacle. OBJECTIVES: This article provides the groundwork for a roadmap to implement image-based support for clinicians, focusing on how to overcome potentia…
Adherence to Referral Criteria at Admission and Patient Management at a Specialized Burns Centre
Referral guidelines for burn care are meant to assist in decision-making as regards patient transfer and admissions to specialized units. Little is known, however, concerning how closely they are followed and whether they are linked to patient care. This is the object of the current study, focused on the paediatric burns centre of the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. All patients admitted to the centre during…
