Promoting evidence-based policies, programs and services for ageing and health in Fiji

Aim: The Healthy Ageing Fiji project will assess health system preparedness for population ageing in the most rapidly ageing Pacific Island country, Fiji. Using a combination of health system mapping, synthesis of existing population-level data, and consultation with key community, provider and policy-level stakeholders, this project will generate crucial evidence to support recommendations on healthy ageing policies, programs and services for health decision-makers in Fiji. Methods: Mixed-methods approach combining country-level data analysis, policy and program mapping, and a qualitative assessment of patient, community and provider needs. The research has three complementary components: Generate an epidemiological profile of ageing and health in Fiji, using existing national household survey and administrative data. Map existing health system activities against the WHO Global Strategy and Action Plan on Ageing and Health. Evaluate user perspectives on the appropriateness and

Dialysis in Zimbabwe

Aim: The aim of the project is to find the prevalence, clinical profile and 12-month survival of patients on dialysis in Zimbabwe. This project will define the burden of dialysis across Zimbabwe, establishing: 1. the number of prevalent patients on dialysis (both haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis) in Zimbabwe; 2. the demographics of this dialysis population, including the diagnosed causes of ESKD; 3. the 12-month survival of these prevalent dialysis patients; 4. the annual incidence of new dialysis patients in Zimbabwe, including both those requiring temporary dialysis for acute kidney injury and those entering maintenance dialysis programs. Method: This project is an observational cohort study and involves all dialysis units in Zimbabwe, both public and private. The study population will comprise of adult patients dialysing at the dialysis units or undergoing dialysis at home. The study will be conducted over 24 months and all participants, both prevalent and incident patients will be foll

Enhancing the role of community health workers in service utilization of tribal populations: An Implementation Research Study

Research shows that Scheduled Tribes (ST) face high levels of chronic undernutrition, anaemia and iodine deficiency, as well as malaria. Geographical and socio-economic constraints mean that the toll of infectious diseases like tuberculosis, hepatitis, and HIV/AIDS can be uniquely high among these populations in some parts of the country, accompanied by a concomitant doubling in the prevalence of overweight/obesity across genders in ST populations. In addition to this, one in four tribal people has hypertension (figures are significantly higher in Gujarat and Kerala), and both the consumption of tobacco (10-18 points higher) and alcohol (14-21 points higher) greater as compared to non-tribal people. While great gains have been made in both understanding and eradicating disease burdens for these populations, health systems studies, and studies assessing service utilization and delivery are limited. Further, Community Health Workers or ASHAs, have helped in improving maternal and child health outcomes as wel
