Abstract Background In 2015, six indicators were proposed to evaluate global progress towards access safe, affordable and timely surgical anaesthesia care. Although some have been adopted as core health indicators, none has evaluated systematically. The aims of this study assess the availability, comparability utility present available data updated estimates. Methods Nationally representative compiled for all World Health Organization (WHO) member states from 2010 2016 through contacts with...

Abstract In Ethiopia, evidence on the national burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is limited. To address this gap, systematic analysis estimated CVDs in Ethiopia using Global Burden Disease (GBD) 2017 study data. The age-standardized CVD prevalence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and mortality rates were 5534 (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 5310.09 - 5774.0), 3549.6 UI 3229.0 3911.9) 182.63 165.49 203.9) per 100 000 population, respectively. Compared with 1990, prevalence rate...
Community transmission of COVID-19 is already being reported in Africa.1 Most countries on the continent will have +10,000 confirmed cases within month.2 The population, while generally younger than Europe and North America, has much higher rates poverty, malnutrition, HIV, TB, which could shift demographics lethality. For surgeons, obstetricians, anesthesiologists, major challenge be maintaining provision emergency essential surgery obstetric care preserving precious resources, minimizing...
Abstract Background With the primary objective of addressing disparity in global surgical care access, College Surgeons East, Central, and Southern Africa (COSECSA) trains surgeons. While sufficient operative experience is crucial for training, extent utilization minimally invasive techniques during COSECSA training remains understudied. Methods We conducted an extensive review general surgery trainees' case logs from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2020, focusing on procedures. Our was...
Background Cardiovascular disease poses a great financial risk on households in countries without universal health coverage like Ethiopia. This paper aims to estimate the magnitude and intensity of catastrophic expenditure factors associated with for prevention treatment cardiovascular general specialised cardiac hospitals Addis Ababa. Methods findings We conducted cross-sectional cohort study among individuals who sought care selected Ababa during February March 2015 (n=589, response rate...
Emergency and essential surgical, obstetric anaesthesia (SOA) care are now recognized components of universal health coverage, necessary for a functional system. To improve surgical at national level, strategic planning addressing the six domains system is needed. This paper details process development plan (NSOAP) based on experiences frontline providers, Ministry Health officials, WHO leaders, consultants. Development NSOAP involves eight key steps: support ownership; situation analysis...
Injuries in low-income and middle-income countries are prevalent their number is expected to increase. Death disability after injury can be reduced if people reach healthcare facilities a timely manner. Knowledge of barriers access quality care necessary intervene improve outcomes. We combined four-delay framework with WHO Building Blocks Institution Medicine Quality Outcomes Frameworks describe trauma three sub-Saharan Africa: Ghana, South Africa Rwanda. used parallel convergent...
Worldwide, approximately one in six inpatient antibiotic prescriptions are for surgical-infection prophylaxis, including postoperative prophylaxis. The WHO recommends against prolonged antibiotics to prevent surgical-site infection. However, many low- and middle-income countries, prophylaxis is common due perceptions that it protects infection data informing recommendations administration largely derived from high-income countries. aim of this study was describe antibiotic-prescribing...
Introduction Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) currently cause more deaths than all other causes of deaths. Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory diseases-threaten the health economies individuals populations worldwide. This study aimed to assess availability readiness facilities for non-communicable describe changes service common NCDs in Ethiopia. Methods We used data from 2014 Ethiopia Service Provision Assessment Plus (ESPA +) 2016 2018 Availability Readiness...
Abstract Background According to the Donabedian model, assessment for quality of care includes three dimensions. These are structure, process, and outcome. Therefore, present study aimed at assessing structural Antenatal (ANC) service provision in Ethiopian health facilities. Methods Data were obtained from 2018 Service Availability Readiness Assessment (SARA) survey. The SARA was a cross-sectional facility-based conducted capture facility availability readiness Ethiopia. A total 764...
Abstract Background Clean Cut is an adaptive, multimodal programme to identify improvement opportunities and safety changes in surgery by enhancing outcomes surveillance, closing gaps surgical infection prevention standards, strengthening underlying processes of care. Surgical-site infections (SSIs) are common low-income countries, so this study assessed a simple intervention improve perioperative practices one. Methods was implemented five hospitals Ethiopia from August 2016 October 2018....

The term "global health equity" has become more visible in recent years, yet we were unable to find a formal definition of the term. Our Viewpoint addresses this gap by offering discussion need and proposing definition. We define global equity as mutually beneficial power-balanced partnerships processes leading equitable human environmental outcomes (which refer "products") on scale. Equitable actively work against racism supremacy. Such foster with these same dynamics; for example, sharing...
