“…5 The question of geographical accessibility is an acute one, since everyone living in a community must benefit from the provision of health care services at a reasonable distance; this is not the case for the majority of populations. 6 These various diseases are considered either as minor diseases or as cases of witchcraft in this environment strongly influenced by considerations. In fact, in Africa and more particularly in Benin where health conditions are precarious, 7,8 populations tend to think that foodborne infections are of supernatural origin.…”

Introduction: Common foodborne illness and foodborne diseases are responsible for many deaths, especially among children who, compared to adults, observe much less hygiene. This study aims to determine the most common foodborne infections among middle school students in Dangbo commune in Benin. Methods: To this end, the study involved 318 adolescent students, including 161 boys from the 6 th , 5 th and 4 th grades, selected according to the nonrandom method and the reasoned choice technique. The collection tools used were collection tools used was a questionnaire and an interview guide that took into account students' health data. Results: Out of all students surveyed, 76.7% acknowledged the occurrence of foodborne infections on an irregular basis. These infections occurred regularly in 9.7% of respondents. Diarrhoea and stomach aches following the consumption of meals at school are the main foodborne infections cited by 61.6% and 13.8% of students respectively. Conclusion: The high frequency of diarrhoea requires action on behaviour and the environment to reduce it in students.

“…Access to basic health care centers therefore defines a good indicator of the accessibility of inhabitants to healthcare. A range of health care services must be available at a reasonable distance for the people who need it [15]. For this reason, and in the absence of detailed data relating to the equipment, personnel and number of visits for each dispensary, we take here the distance, which separates the inhabitant at the nearest dispensary, as the main criterion to assess accessibility [11] [14] [15].…”

In Saudi Arabia, access to healthcare is considered as a human right for citizens and residents. Admittedly, there are spatial inequalities in access to care services between the inhabitants of cities and those of rural areas of the Kingdom. In the urban area of Jeddah, and like other Saudi urban areas, the distribution of healthcare equipment, and especially of basic state health centers (dispensaries), is very uneven. However, very few studies have been produced in this context. In this work, we have tried to map and analyze the spatial inequalities in the distribution of public dispensaries in Jeddah and the levels of access of inhabitants to these dispensaries. The main objectives of this study are as follows: Assess the population's access to public dispensaries by crossing the population map with that of public dispensaries and by some other spatial analyzes such as the analysis of the supply of healthcare by neighborhood through public dispensaries, as well as the comparison of the situation of the various districts in terms of health care, through access to these dispensaries; finally, help decision-making by proposing alternatives to ensure fairness in access to medical care. This study proposes to assess levels of access to public dispensaries in Jeddah through the following steps: First, we presented the methodology adopted in this study as well as the study area. Next, we showed the spatial distribution of dispensaries and the population's levels of access to healthcare. Finally, we presented some alternatives to help decision-makers to improve the conditions of accessibility to health facilities for the inhabitants. The obtained results show large spatial disparities in accessibility to healthcare and a local spatial relationship between accessibility and population concentration. This relationship results in an opposition between the North and the South of the city on the one hand, where we note that the level of accessibility is low with a low concentration of the population, and the central area on the other hand, which is characterized by a high population density and a relatively high level of accessibility.

“…Despite these primary and secondary preventive measures taken at individual and collective levels, COVID-19 is still characterized by a relatively high CFR of 1,7% in Cameroon as on the 31 st December 2021 [20]. To the best of our knowledge, many studies have been conducted on the effects of comorbidities on the risk of death in COVID-19 in other countries [10][11][12][13] but none of them reflect the situation of Cameroon where the epidemiology of disease depends on the physical, financial and acceptability of health care services to populations [21,22]. This lack of information in Cameroon explains why this issue was investigated in the present study.…”

Reducing mortality among COVID-19 cases is a major challenge for most health systems worldwide. Estimating the risk of preexisting comorbidities on COVID-19 mortality may promote the importance of targeting at-risk populations to improve survival through primary and secondary prevention. This study was conducted to explore the contribution of exposure to some chronic diseases on the mortality of COVID-19. This was a case control study. The data were collected from the records of all patients hospitalised at Bafoussam Regional Hospital (BRH) from March 2020 to December 2021. A grid was used to extract data on patient history, case management and outcome of hospitalised patients. We estimated the frequency of each common chronic disease and assessed the association between suffering from all and each chronic disease (Diabetes or/and Hypertension, immunodeficiency condition, obesity, tuberculosis, chronic kidney disease) and fatal outcome of hospitalised patients by estimating crude and adjusted odd ratios and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) using time to symptom onset and hospital admission up to three days, age range 65 years and above, health professional worker and married status as confounder’s factors. Of 645 included patients, 120(20.23%) deaths were recorded. Among these 645 patients, 262(40.62%) were males, 128(19.84%) aged 65 years and above. The mean length of stay was 11.07. On admission, 204 (31.62%) patients presented at least one chronic disease. The most common chronic disease were hypertension (HBP) 73(11.32%), followed by diabetes + HBP 62 (9.61%), by diabetes 55(8.53%) and Immunodeficiency condition 14(2.17%). Diabetes and Diabetes + HBP were associated with a higher risk of death respectively aOR = 2.71[95%CI = 1.19–6.18] and aOR = 2.07[95% CI = 1.01–4.23] but HBP did not significantly increased the risk of death. These results suggest that health authorities should prioritize these specific group to adopt primary and secondary preventive interventions against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
