Health policy and systems research capacity development to support maternal, new-born, child and adolescent health in West and Central Africa
CONCLUSIONS: Lessons for health policy and systems research capacity building in LMIC include the potential of South-South partnerships, the need for dedicated resources, the potential of Sub-regional health organizations to support capacity building and recognition that each effort builds on preceding efforts of others, and that it is important to explore and understand where the energy and momentum for change lies.FUNDING: The work described here has been funded by IDRC Canada under research grant # 108237 "West and Central African partnership for maternal, new-born, child and adolescent health research."PMID:38322739 | ...

Concurrent Clade I and Clade II Monkeypox Virus Circulation, Cameroon, 1979-2022
Emerg Infect Dis. 2024 Feb 7;30(3). doi: 10.3201/eid3003.230861. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDuring 1979-2022, Cameroon recorded 32 laboratory-confirmed mpox cases among 137 suspected mpox cases identified by the national surveillance network. The highest positivity rate occurred in 2022, indicating potential mpox re-emergence in Cameroon. Both clade I (n = 12) and clade II (n = 18) monkeypox virus (MPXV) were reported, a unique feature of mpox in Cameroon. The overall case-fatality ratio of 2.2% was associated with clade II. We found mpox occurred only in the forested southern part of the country, and MPXV phylogeograph...

A structured approach to effective mentoring of women health researchers in Africa
CONCLUSIONS: Mentorship programs can help over time to bridge the gender gaps within Africa as well as the gaps between African-led research and the rest of the world while making a meaningful contribution to enhancing the quality, diversity, and productivity of researchers. A mentoring program such as the HIGHER Women MPP can be improved by leveraging local and international partners to foster the mentoring program's sustainability, scalability, and expanded reach.FUNDING: World Health Organization's Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (WHO/TDR) and Canada's International Development Research ...
