Rapid Assessment of Ebola-Related Implications for Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Service Delivery and Utilization in Guinea
Conclusions
This assessment of RMNCH service delivery and utilization was based on data abstraction and brief structured interviews at a selection of health care facilities in 12 prefectures and three city districts in Guinea from January to February 2015. Quality control measures implemented during data collection helped to ensure that the information collected was as complete and accurate as was feasible.
Though not necessarily representative of the country as a whole, the assessment in Guinea revealed a number of important findings. First, there was an overall decline in service utilization, as seen in the median numb...

The First Outbreak of Autochthonous Zika Virus in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo
Conclusions
Surveillance, risk assessment, and intervention were strengthened throughout Malaysia in response to the 2016 outbreak of ZIKV in neighboring Singapore. The Malaysian Ministry of Health undertook regular surveillance from June 2015 during the South American outbreak, but no ZIKV was detected in 784 samples tested up to August 2016 (https://kpkesihatan.com/2016/08/28/kenyataan-akhbar-kpk-28-ogos-2016-situasi-terkini-virus-zika-di-malaysia/). However, during the peak of the 2016 Singapore ZIKV outbreak from September through December 2016, eight out of 849 samples tested were positive for ZIKV (https://kpkesiha...

Expanding Research Capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa Through Informatics, Bioinformatics, and Data Science Training Programs in Mali
Conclusion
Bioinformatics and data science training programs in developing countries necessitate incremental and collaborative strategies for their feasible and sustainable development. The progress described here covered decades of collaborative efforts centered on training and research on computationally intensive topics. These efforts laid the groundwork and platforms conducive for hosting a bioinformatics and data science training program in Mali. Training programs are perhaps best facilitated through Africa’s university systems as they are perhaps best positioned to maintain core resources during lapses in sho...

Illumina Helped the World Fight COVID-19. Now, CEO Francis deSouza Has Monkeypox in His Sights
As chief executive of San Diego-based genomic sequencing company Illumina, Francis deSouza feels well-placed to witness the world’s next great scientific transformation.
“I really believe that just like the 20th century was the era of the bit and the digital revolution, the 21st century is likely to be remembered as the era of the genome,” he says. “We’re seeing that play out in terms of genomic-based screening and diagnostics emerging, like Illumina’s offerings, but we’re also seeing the emergence of genomic-based medicine.”
DeSouza’s excitement is understandable. Well...

Attacks on MSF health facilities in South Sudan obstruct aid efforts
Thousands of people are at risk of being left without desperately needed medical care after the international medical organization Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) was forced to suspend activities in Malakal, South Sudan, following the looting of its compounds, says MSF.

Vaccines, Antibodies and Drug Libraries. The Possible COVID-19 Treatments Researchers Are Excited About
In early April, about four months after a new, highly infectious coronavirus was first identified in China, an international group of scientists reported encouraging results from a study of an experimental drug for treating the viral disease known as COVID-19.
It was a small study, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, but showed that remdesivir, an unapproved drug that was originally developed to fight Ebola, helped 68% of patients with severe breathing problems due to COVID-19 to improve; 60% of those who relied on a ventilator to breathe and took the drug were able to wean themselves off the machines after 18...

Vaccination is widely considered to be among the greatest public health achievements in history. The American Nurses Association (ANA) has a long-standing policy in support of immunizations and we recognize the vital role nurses and health care providers have in the continued effort to increase vaccination coverage.
Innovations in vaccine science continue to emerge; as recently, there was some exciting news...

Interventions for improving coverage of childhood immunisation in low- and middle-income countries.
CONCLUSIONS: Providing parents and other community members with information on immunisation, health education at facilities in combination with redesigned immunisation reminder cards, regular immunisation outreach with and without household incentives, home visits, and integration of immunisation with other services may improve childhood immunisation coverage in LMIC. Most of the evidence was of low certainty, which implies a high likelihood that the true effect of the interventions will be substantially different. There is thus a need for further well-conducted RCTs to assess the effects of interventions for improving chi...

Lootings, armed theft prevent humanitarian response
Uncontrolled armed groups in Central African Republic are causing chaos, leaving civilians without the humanitarian aid they urgently need, warned Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) today.
MSF’s facilities have been looted and the teams have been the target of a number of robberies and threats in the 17 days since the conflict started. MSF calls on the new Séléka government to take responsibility and reestablish control over armed groups creating turmoil in a number of locations across the country.
