Article Synopsis
- Despite the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in reducing opportunistic infections (OIs), these infections continue to seriously affect children with HIV, particularly in low and middle-income countries like Ethiopia.
- This study focuses on examining the incidence and predictors of common OIs among HIV-infected children receiving ART in Bahir Dar City through a retrospective cohort study involving 403 participants.
- The findings revealed an overall incidence rate of 7.06 OIs per 100 person-years, with significant risk factors identified such as advanced WHO clinical stages and poor adherence to ART.
Introduction: Although the efforts at global and national levels have attempted to decrease the COVID-19 pandemic, the low level of preparedness among healthcare providers is a challenge mainly in developing countries. Hence, this study is aimed at assessing the level of preparedness for COVID-19 and its associated factors among frontline healthcare providers in South Gondar public hospitals, northwest Ethiopia.
Methods And Materials: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 207 selected healthcare providers who were working in South Gondar public hospital from July 08 to August 29, 2020.
