Newest firstLow- and middle-income countries face critical shortages of healthcare workers (HCWs) and funding for human resources for health (HRH), while patients often receive less care time than expected. Understanding how the existing workforce capacity is used is therefore essential for improving health system performance in resource-constrained settings. We examined HCW time-use patterns in Malawi using data from a time-…
Open article record in new tab ↗Like many others, Malawis health care system faces significant health workforce shortages largely due to budget constraints that limit training, recruitment and retention of staff. A crucial question is how to best allocate a limited budget to expand different health care workers (HCW) cadres so that the potential health gains are maximised, which is more important now than ever considering recent withdraw and red…

Whilst some dimensions of this vulnerability have been characterised, little is known about healthcare sector resilience. Coupling facility-specific data on antenatal care (ANC) service provision in Malawi with gridded precipitation data, we use regression analyses to characterise the historic relationship between precipitation and hea…
Open article record in new tab ↗We conducted a systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42023393345) of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) transmission models and parameters characterising its transmission, evolution, natural history, severity, risk factors and seroprevalence. Information was extracted using a custom database and quality assessment tool. We extracted 519 parameters, 243 risk factors, and 112 models from 288 papers. Our analyses show…

They are particularly important for crisis-affected populations that typically reside in settings characterised by overcrowding, inadequate access to healthcare and resource limitations. To describe the landscape of research and identify evidence gaps concerning the acceptability…
