Background Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a major health problem in developing countries. The untreated disease fatal, available treatment expensive and often toxic, drug resistance increasing. Improved options are needed. Paromomycin was shown to be an efficacious first-line with low toxicity India. Methods This 3-arm multicentre, open-label, randomized, controlled clinical trial compare three regimens for VL East Africa: paromomycin sulphate (PM) at 15 mg/kg/day 21 days versus sodium...
Introduction In March 2020, the WHO released a Global Research Roadmap in an effort to coordinate and accelerate global research response combat COVID-19 based on deliberations of 400 experts across world. Three months on, disease our understanding have both evolved significantly. As we now tackle pandemic very different contexts with increased knowledge, sought build work gain more current perspective these initial priorities. Methods We undertook mixed methods study seeking views community...
COVID-19 poses particular threats in low-resource settings, which typically have underfunded health-care systems and insufficient influence on the global health research agenda. Leadership coordination been shown such particularly across Africa, building earlier experience from diseases as Ebola virus disease HIV. However, to achieve a coherent response ensure sufficient context-specific has challenging.
Background: Emerging data from Africa indicates remarkably low numbers of reported COVID-19 deaths despite high levels disease transmission. However, evolution these trends as the pandemic progresses remains unknown. More certain are devastating long-term impacts on health and development evident globally. Research tailored to unique needs African countries is crucial. UKCDR GloPID-R have launched a tracker funded projects mapped WHO research priorities less-resourced published baseline...

Background: Africa will miss the maternal and neonatal health (MNH) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets if current trajectory is followed. The African Academy of Sciences has formed an expert newborn group to discuss actions improve MNH SDG targets. team, among other recommendations, chose implement research prioritization exercise for covering four grand challenge areas. Methods: team used Child Health Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) method identify priorities in Africa. From...

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused significantly lower reported mortalities on the African continent as compared to other regions. Yet, many countries are still contending with devastating economic, social and indirect health impacts. researchers policy makers have identified research priority areas which take cognisance of unique needs countries. A baseline assessment alignment funded in Africa these priorities World Health Organization's COVID-19 was undertaken July,...
