Introduction: Immunization helps reduce morbidity and mortality attributable to severe vaccine-preventable childhood illnesses. However, vaccination coverage the quality of immunization data remain challenging in Ethiopia. This has led poor planning, suboptimal coverage, resurgence disease outbreaks under-immunized pocket areas. The problem is further compounded by occurrence COVID-19 pandemic disruption health information system due recurrent conflict. study assessed current status service...

Pregnancy-related morbidity and mortality continue to have a serious impact on the lives of women all over world. Women in sub-Saharan Africa accounted for nearly two-thirds global maternal deaths. The World Health Organization recommends monitoring near-miss provides better information regarding quality health care, which base action prevent further death. Accordingly, this study sought assess incidence-proportion its risk factors. We also seen near-miss-to-mortality ratio overall index.An...

The MNH eCohort was developed to fill gaps in maternal and newborn health (MNH) care quality measurement. In this paper, we describe the survey development process, recruitment strategy, data collection procedures, content plans for analysis of generated by study. We also compare that existing multi-country tools on quality. is a longitudinal mixed-mode (in-person phone) will recruit women facilities at their first antenatal (ANC) visit. Women be followed via phone until 10-12 weeks...

Abstract Globally, 1.8 million HIV infected children live with HIV; nearly 53% of them were receiving treatment. People who are 18 times more likely to develop active TB. Despite antiretroviral treatment has shown marked reduction in TB incidence, continues occur Sub-Saharan countries including Ethiopia among people. The effect highly is quite successful developed countries. However, developing country TB/HIV co-infection remains perplexing on the aim this study was investigate impact ART...

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare the effectiveness efficacy of pyriproxyfen, chlorfenapyr, piperonyl butoxide long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) with pyrethroid-only LLINs for malaria control in Africa, as pyrethroid resistance threatens these controlling malaria. Method: The protocol was registered PROSPERO (CRD42024499800). extracted data from eligible studies were pooled using random effects model expressed a risk ratio (RR) 95% confidence interval...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a serious metabolic disease that often associated with vascular complications. The increasing prevalence of type poses significant public health challenges, particularly in Low and Middle-Income Countries where healthcare resources are limited. In Africa, the burden T2DM rising rapidly, leading to consequential increase macrovascular complications such as cardiovascular stroke. These not only affect quality life but also significantly contribute morbidity...

In much epidemiological HIV research, patients are often followed over a period of time to predict their survival on the basis repeatedly measured CD4 status. To survival, statistical models association between mortality and longitudinal measurement have been conducted widely using time-varying Cox models. However, in presence repeated measure, this approach leads biased estimates. view limitation models, present study, we considered joint modeling death among initiated ART.A retrospective...

Back Ground: Globally, 2.6 million children died in their first month of life—approximately 7 000 newborn deaths per day—with approximately one dying on the day and nearly within next six days. Perinatal asphyxia plays a significant role this mortality. Even those who survive will suffer from mental retardation other complications. One programme to save lives asphyxiated newborns is "Helping Baby Breathe." However, it has yet be successful Ethiopia. Objective: To assess status implementation...
