“…Today, most of the funding for international health concentrates on disease‐specific (vertical) interventions instead of addressing more broadly (horizontal) the underlying causes of disease such as poverty, low education and prevailing malnutrition (Egilman et al. 2011).…”

“…Although some more attention has recently been devoted to strengthening health systems, the main focus is still on supporting the development and implementation of non‐sustainable and often even counter‐productive selected technical interventions such as drugs, vaccines or micronutrient supplementations (Müller & Krawinkel 2005; Swanson et al. 2010; Egilman et al. 2011).…”

“…A combination of large‐scale implementation of nutrition interventions, strengthening of the health and education systems, investment in environmentally sustainable agricultural techniques and improvements in hygiene and sanitation in the frame of sustainable community development would likely have more sustained long‐term effects on morbidity and mortality in populations of low‐income countries (Bryce et al. 2008, Egilman et al. 2011).…”

Abstractobjective For measurement of progress towards the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 1, reliable data on nutrition indicators of specific countries are essential. Malnutrition is also the main determinant for childhood mortality, which is addressed in MDG 4.methods In the health and demographic surveillance area of Kossi Province in north-western Burkina Faso, nutritional parameters were compared in two cohorts of young children of the same age range from eight villages. Surveys took place in June and December of the year 1999 and 2009. A multivariate model was used to control for confounding variables.

In this article we explore literature regarding cervical cancer screening methods available in developing countries. Cervical cancer is a preventable and curable disease, but it continues to threaten the lives of many women. Eighty-five percent of cases and the majority of deaths occur in developing countries. Cytology via Papinicolaou (Pap) smear is not generally a suitable method of screening in low-resource regions. Alternative methods include visual inspection by acetic acid (VIA), human papillomavirus-deoxyribonucleic acid (HPV-DNA), and careHPV-DNA. Education is needed for health care providers and women about preventive immunization and screening. A Rwandan project is described to demonstrate effective program planning and implementation.

Childhood malnutrition remains a major challenge to public health in poor countries. Data on malnutrition determinants in African children are scarce. A cross-sectional survey was performed in eight villages of Burkina Faso in June 2009, including 460 children aged 6-31 months. Demographic, socioeconomic, parasitological, clinical and anthropometric characteristics were collected. The main outcome variable was weight-for-length (WFL) z-score (i.e. wasting). A multiple regression model identified village, age group, religion and the presence of younger siblings as significantly associated with wasting. Villages differed in their mean WFL z-score by up to one unit. Compared with younger children, the mean WFL z-score of children aged 24-35 months was 0.63 units higher than the WFL z-score in younger children. This study confirms the still unacceptable high level of malnutrition in young children of rural West Africa and supports the fact that childhood malnutrition is a complex phenomenon highly influenced by contextual variables.
