“…Gender-based occupational or behavioural factors have also been implicated in the gender differences seen in low transmission settings [15]. The COVID 19 pandemic also resulted in significant job loss across the globe and males were more affected, especially those who worked in non-agricultural industries [21,22]. This may have resulted in lesser number of males engaging in occupations that predisposes them to malaria infections and thus contributing in the reduction of the male to female ratio over time.…”

Background Malaria remains a major public health concern in The Gambia. The study assessed the trend of malaria admissions and outcome of adult patients admitted after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in a tertiary hospital in The Gambia. Methods This was a retrospective hospital-based study and data was collected from the 18th October 2020 to 28th February 2023. Demographic data, clinical features, investigations, treatment, and outcomes were recorded. Results A total of 499 malaria cases were admitted to the hospital over the 29 months of the study period. Data from 320 (67.2% of the total cases) adult patients admitted into the internal medicine department were analysed. The median age was 22 years, range (15–90) and 189 (59.1%) cases were youth with a youth (15–24 years) to older adult (> 24 years) ratio of 1.4:1. The majority of the patients were male 199 (62.2) with a male to female ratio of 1.6:1. The total number of malaria cases admitted into the internal medicine department increased from 103 cases in 2021 to 182 cases in 2022and admission peaked in November in both years. The total number of admitted malaria cases during the peak of the malaria season also increased from 92 patients between September 2021 and December 2021 to 132 patients from September 2022 to December 2022.There was also an increase in both severe and uncomplicated malaria during the same period. The total mortality was 31 (9.7%) and the rate was similar in 2021 9 (8.7%) and 2022 15 (8.4%). Patients with impaired consciousness were more likely to die when compared to those without impaired consciousness [19 (23.6%) vs 12 (5%), p ≤ 0.001]. Patients with acute kidney injury were also more likely to die when compared with those without acute kidney injury [10 (20.4%) vs 15 (7.7%), p = 0.009]. Conclusion The findings show an emerging and consistent trend of malaria admissions and the outcome in the youth and older adult population after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in The Gambia. This, therefore, suggests the need for the implementation of targeted malaria prevention interventions in this population to further prevent the spread of the disease to the more vulnerable population.

“…Exogenous shocks, particularly those exacerbated by the disproportionate impact of COVID-19, have severely affected socioeconomically vulnerable communities. This burden is especially heightened in community-oriented societies like Indonesia, where the repercussions of disruptions are often felt throughout entire households [8].…”

The aftermath of Covid-19 has deeply affected economic landscapes worldwide, and the role of women within this paradigm is crucial for understanding human development. This study delves into the impact on women's advancement by examining their treatment in education, health, and economic sectors as indicators of development achievements. The UNDP has developed measures like IPG and IDG, assessing gender development components across various dimensions. Conducted as qualitative research, this study draws data from primary sources—observations, interviews, and documentation—from three Indonesian provinces: West Sumatra, Lampung, and East Java. Results indicate a mixed scenario post-Covid-19. Despite the pandemic's impact, West Sumatra saw continuous growth in Gender Empowerment Index and Gender Development Index (GDI) from 2020 to 2022. However, the IDG remained below the national level, while the IPG surpassed national standards. Lampung Province witnessed an increase in IPG from 2020 to 2022. Conversely, East Java experienced a decline in IDG in 2021, followed by a subsequent increase in 2022. IPG in East Java displayed relative growth during the pandemic. Across these provinces, the Gender Empowerment Index lagged behind national growth, while IPG for West Sumatra and East Java exceeded it, with Lampung province falling below. These findings underscore the intricate dynamics shaping post-Covid-19 gender roles in economic recovery in Indonesia's various regions.
