Mashup Score: 5Uncertainties about the quality of medical products globally: lessons from multidisciplinary research - 11 month(s) ago
The world was shocked when it emerged that at least three hundred young children, all under the age of 5, died of acute kidney injury between 2022 and 2023 in The Gambia, Indonesia and Uzbekistan. They had ingested cough syrups heavily contaminated with diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol.1 Even if the prevalence of substandard and falsified (SF) medical products and their impact on health are…

There was, and possibly still is, potential for COVID-19 to disrupt power inequities and contribute to positive transformation in global health research that increases equity. While there is consensus about the need to decolonise by transforming global health, and a roadmap outlining how we could approach it, there are few examples of steps that could be taken to transform the mechanics of global…

#### Summary box The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed deep fault lines in global governance of health emergencies. In particular, the inadequacies of an existing mechanism—the international health regulations (IHRs)—in coordinating nation-states and ensuring equitable access to medical countermeasures (MCMs) during emergencies.1 The IHRs require states to put in place core capacities to detect as…

Health metrics have evolved with increasing sophistication. The disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) has emerged as a widely used metric. While DALYs vary between countries, the global disability weights (DWs) that are integral to the DALY ignore the potential impact of local factors on the burden of disease. Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), a spectrum of hip pathologies, typically…
