Article Synopsis
- * A study in rural Rwanda explored the safety and effectiveness of the Warmer, revealing it was generally well-used, leading to improved temperatures in newborns without safety issues.
- * Positive feedback from healthcare providers and parents highlighted the importance of ongoing education for proper use and engagement in thermoregulation to better support neonatal health.
Article Synopsis
- ePOCT+ Development
- : A new electronic clinical decision support algorithm (CDSA), called ePOCT+, was created to help reduce childhood mortality and improve antibiotic prescribing practices in low- and middle-income countries by guiding clinicians to follow established medical guidelines.
- medAL-Suite
- : The medAL-suite software was developed to streamline the creation and application of CDSAs, allowing healthcare professionals without technical skills to design algorithms easily, using tools like medAL-creator and medAL-reader for consultations.
- Validation and Future Plans
- : The algorithms underwent thorough reviews and usability tests by experts across several countries to ensure clinical relevance, with ongoing clinical validation studies planned in Tanzania, Rwanda, Kenya, Senegal, and India
Purpose: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Hospital care practices of pediatric TBI patients in LMICs are unknown. Our objective was to report on hospital management and outcomes of children with TBI in three centers in LMICs.

This study aimed to explore perceptions and acceptance of bereaved families and health-care professionals regarding MITS in the context of MITS initiation in Rwanda as an alternative to clinical autopsy.
Methods: This was a qualitative phenomenological study with thematic analysis.
Implementing context-appropriate neonatal and paediatric advanced life support management interventions has increasingly been recommended as one of the approaches to reduce under-five mortality in resource-constrained settings like Rwanda. One such intervention is ETAT+, which stands for Emergency Triage, Assessment and Treatment plus Admission care for severely ill newborns and children. In 2013, ETAT+ was implemented in Rwandan district hospitals.
