Most estimates of the burden of malaria are based on its direct impacts; however, its true burden is likely to be greater because of its wider effects on overall health. Here we estimate the indirect impact of malaria on children's health in a case-control study, using the sickle cell ...
Malaria infection impacts negatively on the babies ranging from low birth weight to high mortality and anaemia. More serious measures should be adopted to prevent the speed of malaria and pregnant women should be properly managed to ensure sound life and that of their children.The paper discussed ...
The health impacts of abuse of other substances such as heroin or cocaine during the pandemic remains contentious. Limits on transport and movement are already impacting both thetrafficking and use of illicit drugs, but users might replace scarce drugs with other equally hazardous substances. 6. Men...
of overcoming common challenges in South-South cooperation, such as poor coordination, inadequate political commitment, language barriers, and inadequate financing, while contributing to the evidence on how to not only implement such initiatives but also how to monitor and evaluate their impacts [34]....
A broader perspective on the economics of malaria prevention and the potential impact of SARS-CoV-2 Economic evaluations of public health interventions to prevent malaria should consider the adoption of wider perspectives and the inclusion of non-health impacts, particularly economic development outcomes...

The model coefficients (Table 1) clearly illustrate the direct and multiplicative impacts of temperature deviations, precipitation changes, and HDI on malaria incidence rates. The results highlight the complex interplay of climatic factors and human development in managing and predicting Age-Specific Incid...

weights for each model were compared alongside a time only model. These results suggest that including spatial information improved models as measured by AIC, compared to time only results. The prior values for both the distance function and epsilon value have very strong impacts on the estimated...
