Health research priority setting processes assist researchers and policymakers in effectively targeting that has the greatest potential public health benefit. Many different approaches to prioritization exist, but there is no agreement on what might constitute best practice. Moreover, because of many contexts for which priorities can be set, attempting produce one practice fact not appropriate, as optimal approach varies per exercise. Therefore, following a literature review an analysis...
An infodemic is an overflow of information varying quality that surges across digital and physical environments during acute public health event. It leads to confusion, risk-taking, behaviors can harm lead erosion trust in authorities responses. Owing the global scale high stakes emergency, responding related pandemic particularly urgent. Building on diverse research disciplines expanding discipline infodemiology, more evidence-based interventions are needed design management tools implement...
Robert Terry and colleagues present working definitions of operational research, implementation health systems research within the context to strengthen systems.
<ns3:p>Objective Synthesise the published literature and national regulations on infrastructure, capabilities capacities required to manage quality assure clinical research. Introduction The World Health Assembly (WHA) resolution 75.8 (2022) called “for a strengthened global architecture for coordinated high-quality trials”. For this remit, capabilities, needed design deliver trials must be understood advanced. This rapid scoping review aims identify breadth of requirements recommendations...
To explore what can be learnt about the current composition of "global landscape" health research and development (R&D) from data on World Health Organization's International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP).A random 5% sample records clinical trials that were registered as interventional actively recruiting was taken ICTRP database.Overall, 2381 investigated. Analysis these indicated that, for every million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) caused by communicable, maternal,...
review the programme’s scientific and technical activities. TDR’s placement within United Nations system provides close collaboration with country offices of not only World Health Organization but also other co-sponsoring agencies UNICEF UNDP, Bank. As a consequence, those who are supported by TDR often work closely disease control programmes as well international organizations. Regular reviews research capacity strengthening have helped reorient strategy needed, shifting focus from...
A review of research priorities completed by WHO technical units was undertaken. Results the mapping were recorded in a database that used to generate analysis and compare different methodological approaches their development.A total 116 documents reviewed for this study. The published between 2002 2017 programmes headquarters deposited institutional repository, IRIS. Research extracted from into standard template mapped five-category cycle type framework defined Strategy on Health covering...
A global map of health R&D activity would improve the coordination research and help to match limited resources with public priorities, such as combating antimicrobial resistance. The challenges mapping are large because there few standards for classification governance capacity report on data, especially in low-income countries. Nevertheless, based developments semantic classification, better reporting funded though Internet, it is now becoming feasible create a observatory R&D.
► The international community has pledged through the Sustainable Development Goals to eliminate neglected tropical diseases by 2030.► Authors from 19 institutions around world call for urgent reflection and a change in mind-set garner support hasten progress towards achieving this fast approaching target.► They advocate an empowering approach that will propel political momentum, milestones targets accountability, new science drug development increased funding particularly G20 countries.
Inappropriate antibiotic use in food-producing animals is associated with the emergence and spread of resistance. In industrial broiler poultry farms three districts Kathmandu valley, Nepal, we assessed prevalence, their classes, types, quantities. A cross-sectional questionnaire study involving field visits to large (flock size ≥ 3000) Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Lalitpur was conducted. Of 30 (total flock 104,200; range 3000–6000), prevalence 90% (95% CI: 73–98%). Six (22%) used antibiotics as...
Monitoring of antibiotic prescription practices in hospitals is essential to assess and facilitate appropriate use. This relevant halt the progression antimicrobial resistance.Assessment prescribing patterns completeness prescriptions among out-patients 2021 was conducted at University Hospital Kwame Nkrumah Science Technology Ashanti region Ghana. We reviewed electronic medical records (EMR) 49,660 patients who had 110,280 encounters year.The patient yielded 350,149 prescriptions. Every...
<ns3:p>Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused substantial morbidity and mortality on a global scale. A strong correlation been found between COVID-19 treatment outcomes noncommunicable diseases such as cancers. However, there is limited information the of cancer patients who were hospitalised for COVID-19. Methods We conducted an analysis data collected in large prospective cohort study set-up by International Severe Acute Respiratory Emerging Infection Consortium...
