Scaling up Safe Surgery for District and Rural Populations in Africa (SURG-Africa)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

In sub-Saharan Africa 95% of the population has no access to surgical services. In this region surgery – a proven and often life-saving intervention – is only accessible to urban populations, with only one surgeon per 2.5 million people in rural areas. Emerging evidence demonstrates that major surgery can be undertaken safely and effectively at district hospitals, making it accessible to otherwise ...

Water - Sustainable Point-Of-Use Treatment Technologies (WATERSPOUTT)

Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2020,

The WHO estimates that in 2015 in Africa ~156 million people relied on untreated sources for their drinking water. WATERSPOUTT will design, develop, pilot and field-test a range of, sustainable point-of-use solar disinfection (SODIS) technologies that will provide affordable access to safe water to remote and vulnerable communities in Africa and elsewhere. These novel large-volume water treatment ...

Clinical Officer Surgical Training in Africa (COST - Africa)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Obstetrical and abdominal emergencies, and trauma, much of it affecting children, represent a major and neglected part of Africa’s burden of disease. Countries cannot train and retain sufficient specialist surgeons (doctors) to address these priorities. We propose a surgical training intervention targeted at Clinical officers (COs), who are trained non-physician clinicians that form the backbone o ...

Climate change predictions in Sub-Saharan Africa: impacts and adaptations (CLIMAFRICA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

Africa is probably the most vulnerable continent to climate change and climate variability and shows diverse range of agro-ecological and geographical features. Thus the impacts of climate change can be very high and will greatly differ across the continent, and even within countries. There is a urgent need for the most appropriate and up-to-date tools to better understand and predict climate chan ...

Enhancing Human Resources and Use of Appropriate Training for Maternal and Perinatal Survival In Sub-Saharan Africa (ETATMBA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

"Most African women face childbirth without access to skilled health workers when obstetric and neonatal emergencies arise. Providing and retaining skilled health workers is vital in attempts to save the 600,000 women and 7 million babies who die annually in Africa. In the modern world this tragedy is unacceptable and largely preventable. Education and training for health professionals is the key ...

Quantifying Weather and Climate Impacts on Health in Developing Countries (QWeCI)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

One of the most dramatic and immediate impacts of climate variation is that on disease, especially the vector-borne diseases that disproportionally affect the poorest people in Africa. Although we can clearly see that, for example, an El Nino event triggers Rift Valley Fever epidemics, we remain poor at understanding why particular areas are vulnerable and how this will change in coming decades, s ...

Enabling universal and equitable access to healthcare for vulnerable people in poor resource settings (EquitAble)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Healthcare can be neither universal nor equitable if it is less accessible to some sections of society than it is to others. EquitAble’s focus on activity limitations brings recent thinking on disability, public health and health policy together to provide data that is crucial to enable universal and equitable access to healthcare in resource poor settings. EquitAble is a four-year collaborative r ...
