This new framework lays out 12 common mHealth applications used as health systems strengthening innovations across the reproductive continuum.T he rapid proliferation of projects-albeit mainly pilot efforts-has generated considerable enthusiasm among governments, donors, and implementers programs. 1In many instances, these projects have demonstrated conceptually how can alleviate specific system constraints that hinder effective coverage interventions.2][3][4] Governments in low-and...
To improve the completeness of reporting mobile health (mHealth) interventions, WHO mHealth Technical Evidence Review Group developed evidence and assessment (mERA) checklist. The development process for mERA consisted convening an expert group to recommend appropriate approach, a global review panel checklist development, pilot testing guiding principle these criteria was identify minimum set information needed define what intervention is (content), where it being implemented (context), how...
With more than two million cases globally, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in unprecedented disruption to human society. Leaders from around world have escalated states of reluctant acceptance emergency. Unlike historical pandemics, such as 1918 H1N1 pandemic, COVID-19 is spreading across a highly connected world, which virtually all individuals are linked each other through mobile phone their pockets. Because strict physical distancing measures, people heavily...
Abstract Background Urinary tract infection (UTI) in pregnancy, including asymptomatic bacteriuria, is associated with maternal morbidity and adverse pregnancy outcomes, preterm birth low birthweight. In low-middle income countries (LMICs), the capacity for screening treatment of UTIs limited. The objective this study was to describe population-based prevalence, risk factors, etiology antimicrobial resistance patterns Bangladesh. Methods a community-based cohort Sylhet district, Bangladesh,...
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has revealed many areas of public health preparedness that are lacking, especially in lower- and middle-income countries. Digital interventions provide opportunities for strengthening systems could be vital resources the current emergency. We several use cases infection control, home-based diagnosis screening, empowerment through information, surveillance epidemiology, leveraging crowd-sourced data. A thoughtful, concerted effort-leveraging...
Globally, 149 million children under 5 years of age are estimated to be stunted (length more than 2 standard deviations below international growth standards)
Abstract Growth faltering in children (low length for age or low weight length) during the first 1,000 days of life (from conception to 2 years age) influences short-term and long-term health survival 1,2 . Interventions such as nutritional supplementation pregnancy postnatal period could help prevent growth faltering, but programmatic action has been insufficient eliminate high burden stunting wasting low- middle-income countries. Identification windows population subgroups on which focus...
Maternal micronutrient deficiencies may adversely affect fetal and infant health, yet there is insufficient evidence of effects on these outcomes to guide antenatal supplementation in South Asia.To assess multiple vs iron-folic acid 6-month mortality adverse birth outcomes.Cluster randomized, double-masked trial Bangladesh, with pregnancy surveillance starting December 4, 2007, recruitment January 11, 2008. Six-month follow-up ended August 30, 2012. Surveillance included 127,282 women;...
Maternal vitamin A deficiency is a public health concern in the developing world. Its prevention may improve maternal and infant survival.To assess efficacy of or beta carotene supplementation reducing pregnancy-related mortality.Cluster randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled trial among pregnant women 13 to 45 years age their live-born infants 12 weeks (84 days) postpartum rural northern Bangladesh between 2001 2007. Interventions Five hundred ninety-six community clusters (study...
OBJECTIVES. We assessed the effect of supplementing newborns with 50000 IU vitamin A on all-cause infant mortality through 24 weeks age. PATIENTS AND METHODS. This was a community-based, double-masked, cluster-randomized, placebo-controlled trial conducted in 19 unions rural northwest Bangladesh. The study nested into and balanced across treatment arms an ongoing placebo-controlled, weekly maternal or β-carotene supplementation trial. Study-defined sectors (N = 596) were evenly randomized...
Background: Growth faltering in the first 2 years of life is high South Asia where prevalence stunting estimated at 40–50%. Although nutrition counselling has shown modest benefits, few intervention trials food supplementation exist showing improvements growth and prevention stunting. Methods: A cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted rural Bangladesh to test effect two local, ready-to-use foods (chickpea rice-lentil based) a fortified blended (wheat-soy-blend++, WSB++) compared...
