Article Synopsis
- Health Data Issues
- : Health data quality is poor in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs), prompting Haramaya University and health agencies to research improvement strategies in public health facilities.
- Research Methodology
- : The study utilized an interrupted time series design and onsite training-mentoring to enhance data quality in Jigjiga Woreda, Ethiopia, with comprehensive pre and post assessments by trained health professionals.
- Key Findings
- : Post-intervention, data accuracy rose from 88.12% to 95%, and content completeness improved from 75.75% to 89.9%, highlighting that health workers’ knowledge is essential for maintaining data quality, necessitating ongoing collaborative efforts. *
Background: Using reliable evidence from routine health information system (RHIS) over time is a vital aid to improve health outcome, tackling disparities, enhancing efficiency, and encouraging innovation. In Ethiopia, utilization of routine health data for improving the performance and quality of care was not well-studied in grassroot health facilities.
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the level of RHIS utilization and associated factors among health professionals in public health facilities of Dire Dawa, eastern Ethiopia.
Article Synopsis
- Lip, oral, and pharyngeal cancers pose significant global health challenges, making it essential to analyze their burden for effective health policies.
- The study utilized data from the 2019 Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study to assess cancer incidence, mortality, and life years lost across 204 countries, linking these to socio-demographic factors.
- Findings revealed approximately 370,000 cases and 199,000 deaths for lip and oral cavity cancer, and 167,000 cases and 114,000 deaths for other pharyngeal cancers in 2019, with smoking being the leading risk factor for these cancers, especially in low and middle SDI regions.
Background: The electronic community health information system (eCHIS) has been implemented in Ethiopia to support health services delivered by community health workers. Despite the many benefits of digitizing community health information systems, the implementation of the eCHIS is challenged by many barriers resulting in low uptake. This study assessed the barriers, facilitators, and motivators of eCHIS use among health workers with focus on health extension workers (HEWs) in Ethiopia.

The majority of the pregnant women have not completed their ANC follow-up and only 43% of women have reached the four and above ANC. This study was conducted to determine the magnitude of ANC dropout and associated factors among pregnant women in Ethiopia.

Even though few studies were conducted on the magnitude of anemia and its determinants, most of them focused on the country level and different parts of countries. Therefore, the current study is aimed to determine the magnitude of anemia and determinant factors among lactating mothers in East African countries.
