RISK TO HEALTH CARE WORKERS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
|
SAGOE-MOSES C, PEARSON D, JAGGER, J |
Health care workers are a crucial resource in the health care systems of developing nations. In many countries, including those in sub-Saharan Africa, workers are at high risk for preventable, life-threatening occupational infections. Yet the protection of health care workers in these countries is largely neglected in national priorities for health care and by the international organizations that fund health care initiatives. |

Reducing Maternal Deaths In Africa
|
John Kiwanuka Ssemakula |
Women have been producing children from the beginning of time. Childbirth is one of the natural miracles of the world. But in Africa too often the birth of a child becomes an occasion for grief due to the death of the mother and /or baby. Over 250,000 African women die from pregnancy related complications every year. |

The Missing Link.doc
|
John Kiwanuka Ssemakula |
Could this be the missing link
The article entitled “The Spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa through Unsafe Medical Care" implies that Africa's HIV/AIDS crisis may be fuelled as much or more by unsafe medical practices as by unsafe sex. Briefly, the authors say that the evidence available from an exhaustive review of research does not support the standard assumption that over 90% of HIV/AIDS in African adults is from heterosexual intercourse. |

AIDS, Public Health, And Innovative Policy Intervention In African Development
|
John Kiwanuka Ssemakula, |
At 21 years old, entering its third decade the HIV AIDS epidemic is no longer just a ‘health’ problem:
Conflict and security, slowed economic growth and development, famine and food security, social breakdown and orphans. None of these would be considered “health” problems, yet the HIV/AIDS epidemic has been implicated in each of these different problems. Wherever AIDS is found it, whatever problem it interacts with, the HIV/AIDS epidemic magnifies, compounds and greatly worsens the problems.

HIV infections in sub-Sahara Africa not explained by sexual or vertical transmission
|
David Gisselquist, |
Many studies report HIV infections in African adults with no sexual exposure to HIV and in children with HIV-negative mothers. Unexplained high rates of HIV incidence have been observed in African women during antenatal and postpartum periods. Many studies show 20%-40% of HIV infections in African adults associated with injections (though direction of causation is unknown). |

The Impact of the 9/11 Attacks on HIV/AIDS Care in Africa and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria
|
John Kiwanuka Ssemakula |
The September 11 terrorist attacks in the USA sent shockwaves throughout the world. The World Bank said the events of September 11 were likely to have mid to long term negative effects in some countries and donor assistance to Africa could be affected. The terrorist attacks also had the effect of bringing up the issue of security and the potential threat the HIV/AIDS epidemic poses to international security especially in Africa. This article examines some of the effects of the September 11 attacks on the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa and their implications. |

The drug companies have been forced into a humiliating climb down over their defence of high cost HIV drugs. Now HIV anti-retroviral drugs will be available at cost, or at least heavily discounted prices. Now all that remains is to get them to the people who need them the most. |

Cheaper drugs for HIV/AIDS in Africa: What happens next? Suggested strategies for distributing HIV drugs

John Kiwanuka Ssemakula |
Now that there is the prospect of cheap drugs becoming more available in Africa, it is important that the drugs reach the people who need them the most. The next step is to look at how African governments will ensure that life saving drugs get to the people who need them. How will governments ensure equitable access, availability, continued supply to meet the demand? |
