Stunting in early life has considerable human and economic costs. The purpose of the study was to identify factors associated with stunting among children aged 0-23 months Indonesia inform design appropriate policy programme responses.Determinants child stunting, including severe were examined three districts using data from a cross-sectional survey conducted 2011. A total 1366 included. analysis used multiple logistic regression determine unadjusted adjusted odds ratios.The prevalence 28.4...
Since the 1988 World Health Assembly resolution to eradicate poliomyelitis, transmission of three types wild poliovirus (WPV) has been sharply reduced (1). WPV type 2 (WPV2) not detected since 1999 and was declared eradicated in September 2015. Because 3 November 2012, 1 (WPV1) is likely only that remains circulation This marked progress achieved through widespread use oral vaccines (OPVs), most commonly trivalent OPV (tOPV), which contains 1, 2, live, attenuated polioviruses a mainstay...
Waning immunity or secondary vaccine failure (SVF) has been anticipated by some as a challenge to global measles elimination efforts. Although such cases are infrequent, virus (MeV) infection can occur in vaccinated individuals following intense and/or prolonged exposure an infected individual and may present modified illness that is unrecognizable outside of the context outbreak. The immunoglobulin M response previously be nominal fleeting, viral replication limited. As proceeds, additional...
A public health catch-22 In 2016, the serotype 2 component of oral poliovirus vaccine given to children was withdrawn. This measure taken prevent vaccine-associated disease outbreaks caused by mutation in live attenuated vaccine. Children around world now have poor immunity because inactivated is far less effective and a new not yet ready. Using statistical model, Macklin et al. discovered that most current polio several countries across Asia sub-Saharan Africa are likely associated with...
Indonesia still faces several challenges in the areas of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Diarrhea remains a major killer children it is important to understand local diarrhea transmission pathways prioritise appropriate WASH interventions reduce burden. This study used cross-sectional data set from recent national household survey (the 2012 Demographic Health Survey) examine associations between aged less than 24 months with population characteristics. Unsafe disposal child feces was...
A key focus of the health-related sustainable development goal (SDG) 3 is universal health coverage (UHC), including access to safe, effective, quality, and affordable essential medicines and vaccines. However, challenges achieving UHC are substantial, especially with increased demands on sector most budgets being static or shrinking. Immunization programmes have been successful in reaching children worldwide. For example, 86% world’s infants had received three doses...
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the case-fatality rate (CFR) for measles in West Africa is 4%-6%. In Niger, 50,138 cases and 201 deaths (CFR, 0.4%) were reported 2003. We conducted an investigation to determine epidemiology true CFR of Mirriah district Niger.Twenty-two villages from 2003 included investigation. A comprehensive household search was conducted, serum samples 12 collected laboratory confirmation. case defined as illness characterized by fever, rash, either...
Given the growing scale and complexity of responses to humanitarian crises, it is important develop a stronger evidence base for health interventions in such contexts. Humanitarian crises present unique challenges rigorous effective research, but there are substantial opportunities scientific advance. Studies need focus where translation from noncrisis scenarios not viable on ethical ways determining what happens absence an intervention. Robust methodologies suited crisis settings have be...
Achieving universal immunization coverage and reaching every child with life-saving vaccines will require the implementation of pro-equity strategies, especially in poorer countries. Gavi-supported countries continue to implement report strategies that aim address challenges improve equity. This paper summarizes first mapping these from country reports.Thirteen were purposively selected emphasis on Gavi's priority Following a scoping different documents submitted Gavi by countries, 47 Joint...
Measles is a highly contagious viral infection. transmission can be prevented through high population immunity (>or=95%) achieved by measles vaccination. In the Republic of Marshall Islands (RMI), no cases were reported during 1989-2002; however, large outbreak occurred in 2003. Reported 1-dose vaccine coverage among children aged 12-23 months varied widely (52-94%) between 1990 and 2000.RMI Pacific island nation (1999 population: 50,840). A case was defined as fever, rash, cough, or coryza,...
Gains in immunization coverage and delivery of primary health care service have stagnated recent years. Remaining gaps reflect multiple underlying reasons that may be amenable to improved system design. Immunization systems other services can mutually supportive, for strengthening Universal Health Coverage. Improvements require dynamic multi-faceted barriers risks addressed. These include workforce availability, quality data use, leadership management is innovative, flexible, driven...
Child Health Days (CHDs) are increasingly used by countries to periodically deliver multiple maternal and child health interventions as time-limited events, particularly populations not reached routine services. In with a weak infrastructure, this strategy could be reach many underserved an integrated package of study, we estimate the incremental costs, impact, cost-effectiveness, return on investment 2 rounds CHDs that were conducted in Somalia 2009 2010.We use program costs population...
Abstract Despite rapid economic growth in A sia, serious health, nutrition and development gaps persist, including inadequate services inequitable access the water, sanitation hygiene ( WASH ) sector. We show that sector has ample justification for increased focus investment to increase health impact, but appropriate prioritisation quality implementation of interventions are required address these gaps.

Measles, a highly infectious vaccine-preventable viral disease, is potentially fatal. Historically, measles case-fatality ratios (CFRs) have been reported to vary from 0.1% in the developed world as high 30% emergency settings. Estimates of global burden mortality measles, critical prioritizing vaccination among other health interventions, are sensitive CFR estimates used modeling; however, due lack reliable, up-to-date data, considerable debate exists what appropriate use. To determine...
The launch of the Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030) comes at an extraordinary and turbulent time in our collective experience. COVID-19 pandemic erupted into all lives, stopping dead their tracks economies, education systems, human connections many lives -- persons we loved. It has brought vaccines immunizations back spotlight. In a single year witnessed emergence novel pathogen, sprint to design, develop, evaluate, manufacture numerous successful deliver hundreds millions doses worldwide....
This paper assesses the cost-effectiveness of, and return on investment in, 2002 catch-up 2003 follow-up measles campaigns in Afghanistan from perspective of donor. The campaign targeted nearly 12 million children aged between six months years, while over five 9 59 months. Both successfully vaccinated approximately 96 per cent respective target populations, are expected to avert an estimated 301,000 deaths next 10 years. average cost dose vaccine delivered was USD 0.40. death prevented is...
