To assess medical and nursing students' intentions to migrate abroad or practice in rural areas.We surveyed 3199 first- final-year students at 16 premier government institutions Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Malawi, Nepal, the United Republic of Tanzania Zambia. The survey contained questions identify factors that could predict migrate. Primary outcomes were likelihoods migrating work working areas country training within five years post-training. We assessed predictors migration using...
Selection by host immunity and antimalarial drugs has driven extensive adaptive evolution in Plasmodium falciparum continues to produce ever-changing landscapes of genetic variation. We performed whole-genome sequencing 69 P. isolates from Malawi used population genetics approaches investigate diversity structure identify loci under selection. High (π = 2.4 × 10−4), moderately high multiplicity infection (2.7), low linkage disequilibrium (500-bp) were observed Chikhwawa District, Malawi, an...
In 2004, the Malawian Ministry of Health declared a human resource crisis and launched six year Emergency Human Resources Programme. This included salary supplements for key health workers tripling doctors in training. By 2010, number medical graduates had doubled significantly more were working rural district hospitals. Yet there has been little research into views this next generation Malawi, who are crucial to continuing success programme. The aim study was explore factors influencing...
Malawi experienced prolonged use of sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine (SP) as the front-line anti-malarial drug, with early replacement chloroquine and delayed introduction artemisinin-based combination therapy. Extended SP, its continued application in pregnancy is impacting genomic variation Plasmodium falciparum population. Whole genome sequence data P. isolates covering 2 years transmission within Malawi, alongside global datasets, were used. More than 745,000 SNPs identified, differences allele...
