The study examines the prevalence of anemia from school-based and house-hold surveys among children up to their 15th birthday sampled from 2008–2015 in Kenya. Anaemia has long been recognized as a major public health problem among young children in lower- and middle-income countries and is an indicator of both poor nutrition and health status. There […]

Figure 1 Distribution of secondary schools in (A) Tanzania, (B) Cambodia, and (C) the Dominican Republic is used to estimate travel time of students. This is useful in exploring geographic variation in spatial access to schools by the youth and its influence on school attendance. Figure 2 Model based geostatistical methods were utilised to make […]

The study used available settlement datasets, historical census data and developed population distribution modelling methods to reconstruct population distribution changes over 30 years across the Kenyan Coast, a data-scarce area characterized by high population growth rates. The methodological challenges and opportunities associated with the production of gridded population distribution time-series were explored.

Using geolocated household surveys data to predict the proportions of population under 5 years, the results show that southern Nigeria had lower proportions of children under 5 as compared to the northern regions. For example, Kano, Katsina and Kaduna states had some of the highest proportions of population. The gaps in estimated number of bed-nets […]

The study triangulated household survey data for fever in children under the age of five years with georeferenced public health facility databases (n = 86,442 facilities) in 29 countries across sub-Saharan Africa, to estimate the probability of seeking treatment for fever at public facilities. Given national healthcare coverage gaps, understanding treatment-seeking behavior for fever is crucial for […]

Timely access to emergency care can substantially reduce mortality. The paper aimed to complete a geocoded inventory of hospital services in Africa in relation to how populations might access these services in 2015, with focus on women of child-bearing age. A geocoded inventory of 4908 public hospitals across 48 countries and islands of sub-Saharan Africa, […]
