Screening for schistosomiasis among Eritrean refugees: a public health priority
AbstractIssueFrom 2014 to 2020, 24 422 Eritrean refugees arrived in Switzerland. After they applied for asylum in a federal centre, asylum seekers are allocated to the 26 Swiss cantons, among them Geneva. In the University hospitals of Geneva, the Programme Sant é Migrants (PSM) is dedicated to ambulatory care for refugees.Problem30% of the PSM outpatients are Eritrean. After their arrival in Geneva, asylum seekers get a medical evaluation. We noticed that the Eritrean's health status was poor, due to their long and hazardous migratory journey. Some had a hypereosinophilia and their helminthiasis serologies were positive ...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 10661: Trauma, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Mental Health Care of Asylum Seekers
Ido Lurie
Asylum seekers in Israel from East Africa frequently experienced traumatic events along their journey, particularly in the Sinai Peninsula, where they were subjected to trafficking and torture. Exposure to trauma has implications for rights that are contingent on refugee status. This retrospective chart review aimed to characterize the types of traumas experienced by 219 asylum seekers (149 men) from Eritrea and Sudan who sought treatment at a specialized mental health clinic in Israel, and to compare the mental health of trauma victims (n = 168) with that of non-trauma victims (n = 53). About 76.7% of the ...

Gender and Family Relations: Experiences of Highly Educated Eritrean Migrants in the UK
AbstractUsing the concept of intersectionality and narrative interviews with eighteen highly educated Eritrean migrants in the UK, this phenomenological study puts gender and family at the centre of socio-cultural integration of migrants. The research findings indicate that migration increases the economic power and freedom of women, helping them improve their social status and lead independent lives. However, there is a conflict within households relating to the need to maintain traditional patriarchal values and recognise women as equal partners. This, among other factors, has hindered the women ’s gender equality and ...

Eritrean Pharmacovigilance System: Key Strategies, Success Stories, Challenges and Lessons Learned
AbstractEstablishing a mature pharmacovigilance system in a low-income country is a challenge. Nevertheless, Eritrea, one such low-income country, was able to achieve a fully fledged pharmacovigilance system within a period of almost 9 years. In the last five years (2014–2019), the Eritrean Pharmacovigilance Centre has submitted, on average, 646 individual case safety reports (ICSRs) per million inhabitants per year to the World Health Organization (WHO) global database of ICSRs. As a result, Eritrea has been rated among the top reporting countries in Africa. The center has detected about 30 safety signals, achieved m...

Determinants of dispensing antibiotics without prescription in Eritrea: a mixed-method qualitative study on pharmacy professionals perspective
Conclusions
The triggering factors to DAWP were found to be very complex and some of them were important that might require immediate attention from policymakers. Ensuring readily available and accessible healthcare services, empowering medicines regulation and continuing sensitisation of dispensers are highly recommended to minimise DAWP. (Source: BMJ Open)

Harambee! 2.0: The Impact of HIV-Related and Intersectional Stigmas on HIV Testing Behaviors Among African Immigrant Communities in Seattle, Washington
AbstractAfrican immigrants are disproportionately affected by HIV compared to U.S.-born individuals, and early HIV testing is the key challenge in ending the HIV epidemic in these communities. HIV-related stigma appears to be the most significant barrier to testing for HIV among African communities in King County, WA. In this formative study, we conducted thirty key informant interviews and five focus group discussions (n = total 72 participants) with Ethiopian, Somali, and Eritrean people living with HIV, health professionals, religious and other community leaders, and lay community members in King County to better u...
