The malaria care cascade and factors associated with receiving a malaria test in children under 5 years of age and pregnant women with fever
INTRODUCTION: Malaria remains a significant global health issue, particularly among children under 5 years of age and pregnant women. In Guinea and Sierra Leone, malaria care in these vulnerable groups remains suboptimal and may have deteriorated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, evidence on the state of the malaria care cascade is urgently needed to guide public health interventions after the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: We conducted a cross-se…
The burden and treatment of non-communicable diseases among healthcare workers in sub-Saharan Africa
Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), the leading cause of death globally, are estimated to overtake communicable diseases in sub-Sahara Africa, where healthcare workers (HCWs) play a crucial role in prevention and treatment, but are in extreme shortage, thereby increasing the burden of NCDs among this specific population. To provide evidence for policy-making, we assessed the NCD burden, associated factors and treatment among HCWs in f…
Capacity-building during public health emergencies
Introduction: Upon the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Public Health Laboratory Support Unit (ZIG4) at the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the German National Public Health Institute, developed and delivered an online training on SARS-CoV-2 qPCR diagnostics to 17 partner countries in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). This article analyses the usefulness and cost savings of this training. Methods: The authors performed a concurrent mixed-m…
Communicating risk during early phases of Covid-19
Background: Emergency risk communication (ERC) is key to achieving compliance with public health measures during pandemics. Yet, the factors that facilitated ERC during COVID-19 have not been analyzed. We compare ERC in the early stages of the pandemic across four socio-economic settings to identify how risk communication can be improved in public health emergencies (PHE). Methods: To map and assess the content, process, actors, and context of ER…
A comparative analysis of experienced uncertainties in relation to risk communication during Covid19
BACKGROUND: During outbreaks, uncertainties experienced by affected communities can influence their compliance to government guidance on public health. Communicators and authorities are, hence, encouraged to acknowledge and address such uncertainties. However, in the midst of public health crises, it can become difficult to define and identify uncertainties that are most relevant to address. We analyzed data on COVID-19-related uncertainties from…
Assessing Covid-19 through the lens of health systems’ preparedness
The last months have left no-one in doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic is exerting enormous pressure on health systems around the world, bringing to light the sub-optimal resilience of even those classified as high-performing. This makes us re-think the extent to which we are using the appropriate metrics in evaluating health systems which, in the case of this pandemic, might have masked how unprepared some countries were. It also makes us reflect …
Governance and Capacity to Manage Resilience of Health Systems
The term resilience has dominated the discourse among health systems researchers since 2014 and the onset of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. There is wide consensus that the global community has to help build more resilient health systems. But do we really know what resilience means, and do we all have the same vision of resilience? The present paper presents a new conceptual framework on governance of resilience based on systems thinking and …
