The High Burden Impact (HBHI) strategy for malaria encourages countries to use multiple sources of available data define the sub-national vulnerabilities risk, including parasite prevalence. Here, a modelled estimate Plasmodium falciparum from an updated assembly community survey in Kenya, mainland Tanzania, and Uganda is presented used provide more contemporary understanding prevalence stratification across sub-region 2019. Malaria surveys undertaken between January 2010 June 2020 were...
COVID-19 has impacted the health and livelihoods of billions people since it emerged in 2019. Vaccination for is a critical intervention that being rolled out globally to end pandemic. Understanding spatial inequalities vaccination coverage access centres important planning this nationally. Here, data, representing number given at least one dose vaccine, list approved sites, population data ancillary GIS were used assess coverage, using Kenya as an example. Firstly, physical was modelled...
The World Health Organization approved the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine for wider rollout, and Kenya participated in a phased pilot implementation from 2019 to understand its impact under routine conditions. Vaccine delivery requires coverage measures at national sub-national levels evaluate progress over time. This study aimed estimate of during first 36 months Kenyan implementation.Monthly dose-specific immunization data 23 sub-counties were obtained health information systems facility level...
Abstract Background Estimating accessibility gaps to essential health interventions helps allocate and prioritize resources. Access blood transfusion represents an important emergency requirement. Here, we develop geo-spatial models of competition services in Bungoma County, Western Kenya. Methods Hospitals providing were identified from up-dated geo-coded facility database. AccessMod was used define care-seeker’s travel times the nearest service. A spatial index for each enumeration area...
