summary:
  Thus, to build linkages with the private sector and other health care establish- ments, the Revised National TB Control Program (RNTCP) has initiated multiple schemes, namely TB advocacy, communica- tion, and social mobilization scheme; sputum collection center scheme; sputum pick-up and transport service scheme; designated microscopy-cum-treatment center scheme; laboratory technician scheme; culture and drug sensitivity testing scheme; treatment adherence scheme; slum scheme; TB unit scheme; and TB-HIV scheme, to promote the involvement of private sector.4,5 The basic idea behind these schemes is to assist the private sector financially and logistically to improve the reach of the services to remote areas of the country where public health sector is weak.4,5 The role of the program manager is crucial - starting from the identification of the issues that need to be addressed; joint planning with the private provider; timely release of money; and to ensure regular monitoring and evalua- tion.2,4,5 In addition, the program managers have attempted to widen the horizon of servic- es by establishing linkages with multiple pro- fessional associations for expanding the range of services.1,2 [page 55] Advocating contribution of private sector in fighting tuberculosis in India Saurabh R.

  In conclusion, color coding in health care has the immense scope to ensure delivery of quality assured services, especially in low resource settings. Although, color coding finds utility in multiple sectors (electronics, navigation, military, etc.), in health care it is employed in different fields of medicine (both diagnostic and therapeutic) to ensure better differentiation, improvement in quality, systematic classification, thereby pre- venting medication errors and hence ensuring health promotion and augmenting patient safety.1,2 Acknowledging the enormous scarcity in the number of trained healthcare professionals (number of doctors/nurses per thousand popu- lation), especially in developing countries and in low-resource settings, color coding remains an important tool to promote the extension of quality assured health care services in remote areas through the outreach workers.1

summary:
  The aim of this study is to i) assess the effect of umbilical cord cleansing with 4% CHX on rate of omphalitis and separation time among newborns in Khartoum state; ii) assess the existing knowledge scores of mothers towards umbilical cord care at pre-test; and iii) assess the existing skill scores of mothers towards umbilical cord care at post-test. They found no impact of hand wash- ing on either the incidence of omphalitis or neonatal mortality, but a substantial reduction in both omphalitis and neonatal mortality in the CHX group.17 Our study demonstrated that neonates who received umbilical cord care using CHX had shorter separation time compared to neonates without CHX (routine) umbilical cord care (mean=5.02) compared to the control group (mean=7.24) with significant difference between the two groups.

summary:
  For example, in 2012 Nigeria had the second highest YouTube viewership growth in Sub-Saharan Africa, increasing by 125% over that of 2011, while video upload increased by 50% over the same time.5 Being a popular entertainment destination, there is a potential for anonymous exploitation of YouTube by tobacco industries to reach a massive audience, particularly youngsters, by promoting and normalizing smoking.6 Smoking imageries in films influence viewers’ perception and attitude towards smoking espe- cially among youngsters and can negate effects of positive parental role modeling on smoking.7 In addition, previous studies have shown that there is a strong, direct association between seeing tobacco use in films and adolescent smoking initiation.8,9 However, there is a dearth of studies on the prevalence of cigarette smoking in online versions of popular Nigerian home videos. This subtle but powerful medium of advertisement reflects loopholes in existing legislation on tobacco advertisement in Nigeria and repre- sents at a global level, the unrelenting efforts by tobacco industries to promote the social acceptability and desirability of tobacco use.13 According to the definitions in Article 1 of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC), a comprehensive ban on all tobacco advertis- ing, promotion and sponsorship applies to all forms of commercial communication, recom- mendation or action and all forms of contribu- tion to any event, activity or individual with the aim, effect or likely effect of promoting a tobac- co product or tobacco use either directly or indirectly.14 This definition would imply that various forms of smoking imagery in movies would be included as part of the comprehen- sive ban called for by the WHO FCTC, a bill which was also ratified by Nigeria in 2005.

  The indicators covered some of the basic MoH functions of district health managers and were put together in consultation with the provincial health authority and after reviewing the published and grey international and local literature. Overall, District B’s low socioeconomic status may have played a sig- nificant role in the relatively low performance of its DHS. Conclusions While no major differences in M&L prac- tices were found between the two study dis- tricts, this should not lead to the conclusion that M&L practices of district health managers do not affect the overall performance of DHS.

  In a study of 144 non- NSAID using DU patients in New York, HP prevalence was 61%.5 If we use this prevalence in the model (e=61) with the same sensitivity and specificity estimates, then NPV=0.66. The prevalence of HP is lower in bleeding than non-bleeding peptic ulcers, but similar if the comparison is limited to patients not tak- ing NSAIDs.1

summary:
  Moreover, rejected images reduce the effi- ciency of the department and patients’ con- sent which accordingly increases institu- tional costs.5 Evaluating the rate of repeated images is a part of the rejection analysis process, which is an acceptable standard to assure the quality in general radiology. Repeated images were also differentiat- ed based on anatomic areas, including skull, spine, chest, abdomen, hips, and limbs, and the frequency of repetition was analyzed in each as well as their causes (Table 1).

summary:
  Healthcare or health resources, like any other system, can be grouped into three broad categories of infrastructure, material or supplies or consu- mable, and human resources. The situation becomes even more complex when discussion moves from simple inputs (infrastructure, materials and human resour- ces) to distribution of health services, frag- mentation of services (rural-urban, preventi- ve-curative, major city-small town, mother- child, young-old) in-equities and also on ser- vice provision for various health issues, etc. Low resource settings are the reality and have the highest all-cause mortality, inclu- ding child and maternal mortalities, thus hampering the overall achievement of Millennium Development Goals.

  Emergency care also represents an entry point for access to additional special- ized care, providing crucial preventive health services at a population level.2–4 In nations where a significant portion of peo- ple are uninsured or underinsured, and lack access to primary care providers, emer- gency departments are even becoming point of care for non-urgent medical conditions.5,6 A lack of emergency care infrastructure is thus linked to poorer health outcomes, and ensuring access to emergency medical care is being prioritized as a mechanism to improve overall population health on a global scale.1,3,4,7 Identifying barriers for out of hospital emergency care in low and low-middle income countries: a sys- tematic review.

  Cost of treatment as a barrier to access and continuity of healthcare for patients with mental ill-health in Lagos, Nigeria

summary:
  Mental health disorders, espe- cially the severe forms, are regarded as prob- lems for the society.11,15 Studies focusing on the issue of cost and access to mental health care were mostly car- ried out in the developed countries of the world. Local studies have shown that doctors at primary care levels show little interest or apti- tude for diagnosing mental disorder or carry- ing out interventions.4,8-11 Other identified fac- tors preventing access to mental health care by patients in LAMICs include cultural perception about the nature and origin of mental disorder, social stigma attached to mental illness and the logistics of travelling long distances to the few general hospitals with psychiatric facili- ties or specialist psychiatric hospitals.1,4,6,8,9 However, the most reported important barri- er to mental health care is finance.1,4,6,8,9 In a country such as Nigeria and many other sub- Saharan countries, evidence shows that about 45% to 60% of the population lives below the poverty line.12 Therefore, it stands to reason that if individuals suffering from mental disor- ders in LAMICs cannot relatively afford quality mental health care, it is expected that govern- ments from these countries should provide free mental health care services or subsidize the cost of mental health care.

  Maggot therapy could provide affordable and efficacious wound care in Lebanon and other low- and middle-income countries

summary:
  Maggot therapy takes us back to the future of wound care: new and improved maggot therapy for the 21st century. However, it was the orthopedic surgeon William S. Baer at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, who in the 1920’s established maggot therapy in modern clin- ical wound care.14 Unfortunately, the initial popularity of maggot therapy was relatively short-lived and declined in the 1940s with the emergence and widespread availability of antibiotics like penicillin, and the improvement of surgical techniques.15 Then, beginning in the 1980s and 90s, mag- got therapy experienced a renaissance due to the growing prevalence of wound infec- tions caused by antibiotic-resistant bacte- ria15 and a growing burden of wounds relat- ed to chronic health conditions such as dia- betes and cardiovascular disease.

summary:
  Therefore, Bain’s circuit can be a crucial armamentarium in supportive oxygen therapy for COVID-19 patients in low resource set-ups. Flow inflating devices like Bain’s circuit are effective as indigenous CPAP and have also been used to provide CPAP.2,3 The fresh oxygen flow rate required to minimize the rebreathing in Bain’s circuit is 10-15L/min (150-200mL/kg) for a 70kg person, which is similar to the requirement for NRBM to keep the bag inflated.4,5 The authors have also used the proposed device for managing post- operative respiratory failure in COVID-19 recovered patients,9 as well as for transfer- ring patients from COVID-19 ICU to step down facilities.

  Readiness of health facilities to deliver safe male circumcision services in Tanzania: a descriptive study

summary:
  [Healthcare in Low-resource Settings 2013; 1:e9] Readiness of health facilities to deliver safe male circumci- sion services in Tanzania: a descriptive study Frank Mosha, Mwita Wambura, Joseph R. Mwanga, Jacklin F. Mosha, Gerry Mshana, John Changalucha National Institute for Medical Research, Mwanza, Tanzania Abstract Assessing the readiness of health facilities to deliver safe male circumcision services is more important in sub-Saharan Africa because of the inadequacy state of health facilities in many ways. This paper reports findings from the assessment of the readiness of health facilities to provide safe MC in select- ed regions in Tanzania and it provides the lit- erature with some empirical evidence on the issues that may adversely affect the scale-up of MC for countries considering MC roll-out.

summary:
  While many strategies have been attempted over the years to discuss some of the economic, social, and physical factors preventing tribal population to get access to healthcare services, the ultimate outcome has remained far less than the expec- tations. Also, as tribal populations find it difficult to navigate through the complexities of medical facilities, government in collaboration with local NGOs can arrange for counselors who are from tribal communities themselves and then can be placed at district hospitals to guide patients, explain doctors’ prescriptions, help patients take advantage of welfare schemes and coun- sel them on preventive and promotive health behaviors.

  Further, a significant rise in the inci- dence of rapid diagnostic testing for malaria has also been reported from heterogeneous settings.1,4 However, even now, many challenges persist and there is a great need to address all of them.1,3,5 These include high caseload and death rates, localization of maximum number of cases from some of the high-burden nations, a slow rate of decline in the inci- dence/death rates of malaria compared to the global trends, shortcomings in the health care system, inaccessibility of the services (like mosquito nets or indoor residual spraying), emergence of drug resistance and insecticide resistance, and poor involvement of the com- munity stakeholders.1,3,5,6 Finally, a newer strat- egy has been adopted by the WHO member states to reduce the global malaria incidence and mortality by at least 90%, eliminate malar- ia from 35 nations, and to prevent the re-emer- gence of the disease in malaria free nations by the year 2030.1,3 To conclude, now the goal is set, we have access to effective measures which have deliv- ered results, but the challenge is to implement the same for a longer duration of time.

  Although user fees do not reduce demand for health care services by the poor, they will have negative redistributive effects because in paying more for their health services the poor will be left with less money for other essential services than the rich will do.16 Frivolous use of public health services is already deterred because travel and time costs to reach health services are usually The assumption being that, the price system signals to consumers what they must pay for health care services hence giving them an incentive to utilize those services well.

  Psychosocial stressors and support needs of survivors of Ebola virus disease, Bombali District, Sierra Leone, 2015

summary:
  One major factor that assists any survivor in going through the psychological after-effects of Ebola is the availability of sustainable psychosocial support systems within the immediate family and the broader community they are integrat- ed with.6 The most common psychological challenges faced by Ebola survivors include: sadness, fear, depression, frequent anxiety, panic, insomnia and nightmares, confusion, emotional numb- ness, embarrassment, low morale, lack of con- fidence, frustration, helplessness.2 These psy- chological effects are expressed in the outward disposition and display of survivors such as being of few words, low voice when they speak, withdrawn from people, conversation delays, over thinking, display of disregard to others, appearing lost and self-isolation and loss of hope. The social challenges facing Ebola survivors were numerous and these generally fell within food, shelter, finance, education and health services.

  Although the most recent data from the World Health Organization show that the majority of deaths in Africa between 2000-2012 were from com- municable disease at 61.7% compared to 28.6% for non-communicable disease and 9.8% from injury, this distribution is quickly changing.1 By 2020, 73% of deaths worldwide are expected to be due to non-communicable disease with 79% of these deaths occurring in developing countries.2-4 Many factors have been attributed to this rise including increased lifespan, mod- ernization, globalization, poverty, and chang- ing lifestyle.4,5 This problem is compounded by the fact that many health care systems are underfunded and ill-prepared to handle the current state of non-communicable disease and the inevitable rise over the coming years will put additional burden on these systems. A deep- er understanding of the knowledge and percep- tions of diabetes, hypertension, and cancer in this region, will guide and focus future educa- tion of both CHWs and community members on non-communicable disease.

  The magnitude of perinatal mortality rate and associated risk factors among deliveries at Dilla University Referral Hospital, Southern Ethiopia: A case-control study

summary:
  Introduction The Perinatal Mortality Rate is defined as the sum of the number of perinatal deaths (stillbirths and early neonatal deaths/ENND) divided by the number of pregnancies of seven or more months’ dura- tion (all live births plus stillbirths). Birth asphyxia, birth injury, preterm low birth weight, birth interval of <2 years, young maternal age at birth, low level edu- cation, poor maternal nutrition, absence of Antenatal Care (ANC) and complications during labour were primary causes initiat- ing the cascade of perinatal death.6,8 In Ethiopia, the PMR was 33 deaths/1000 pregnancies of seven or more months’ dura- tion (30 still births and 29 neonatal deaths), despite neonatal deaths shown a reduction of 17% over the past 5 years with signifi- cant disparities per 1,000 live births of 43 PMR in rural and 41 PMR in urban settings.9,10 In the southern region, threefold of the national figure was reported, with Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) being a single most important risk factor and obstructed labor accounted for 26 % of hospital deaths with 50% of still births and 2-5 folds of ENND.10,11 To the authors’ knowledge, data on the rate of perinatal deaths were very old and were obtained from urban residents rather than from remote population where the rate and the risk factors of perinatal deaths were poorly documented.12 Hence, the study aimed to assess the rate and risk factors associated with perinatal mortality so as to fill the existing gap of data and knowledge using local epidemiological study findings of these kinds and to establish a foundation of knowledge and understanding.

  Safety of dispensing prescribed iron formulation in childresistant containers among pharmacies in Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional survey

summary:
  The severity of iron poisoning is based on the amount of elemental iron ingested which can be calculated based on elemental iron in the salt. The PPPA defines special packaging as packaging that is designed or constructed to be significantly dif- ficult for children under 5 years of age to open or obtain a toxic or harmful amount of the sub- stance contained therein within a reasonable time and not difficult for normal adults to use properly, but does not mean packaging which all such children cannont open or obtain a toxic or harmful amount within a reasonable time.5 Unit-dose packaging of potent iron sup- plements is expected to reduce the frequency of severe pediatric iron overdos incidents 6 Consumer Product Safety Commission regu- lations require child-resistant packaging for retail packages containing 250 mg or more of elemental iron.7 The use of CRCs yield no reported pediatric deaths in USA from iron poisoning in 2010 in the USA.8 Though exposures to iron and iron-contain- ing products in the developed countries have been slowly dropping during the previous decade and due to significant public health efforts at increasing awareness and improving packaging, iron overdose remains a significant public health threat to young children.

  Motivation for studying medicine: assessing the similarities between UK and Ghanaian medical students

summary:
  Similar findings have occurred in a diverse range of countries such as Switzerland,21 the West Indies,30 Netherlands,22 Hungary,31 Ghana,32 and Egypt.33 As the Royal College of General Practitioners currently embarks upon a cam- paign to persuade UK medical students to choose GP as a career,14 understanding the impact of underlying motivation would allow for better targeted interventions.33 However, within the UK there is little literature studying the effect of motivation on student’s future career choice. In this study, UK medical students at a similar point in their studies were provided with the same questions.
