Mashup Score: 12Stuck in ‘the field’: why applied epidemiology needs to go home - 17 day(s) ago
Between December 2010 and January 2011, 16 children presented to a mission hospital, in what at the time was, the Brong Ahafo Region (BAR) of Ghana, with unusual forms of seizure and paralysis. Initial testing suggested that the cause was B virus, a zoonotic monkey-borne virus not previously seen in Africa. These unexpected and concerning results spurred national public health authorities to deploy a field epidemiology team from the capital. Although short-lived, the findings from their investigation implicated a local monkey population occupying a forest belt which stretched along all of the affected communities. Newly collected samples were sent to a foreign reference laboratory for confirmatory testing, but no results were reported back. In the interim, several transnational research coalitions were formed to investigate the outbreak further. One did manage to obtain some confirmatory testing and the results suggested that B virus was not the cause of the outbreak. This prompted the

In 2007, Allan Maleche began working as a legal associate in Nairobi, Kenya. His first role was as research assistant on the case of a waitress tested for HIV without her consent by a hospital doctor who released her results to her employer, which resulted in the termination of her employment. The case compounded an interest in informed consent that had been building for the newly qualified Maleche during his undergraduate studies in law at the University of Nairobi, Kenya. This case highlighted “that there were so many legal and human rights issues, at a time when we had very few lawyers in Kenya who would touch work on HIV because HIV was still stigmatised, and not something people wanted to be associated with”, he explains.

Despite remarkable advances in medicine, millions of people are still denied health care. The report of the International AIDS Society–Lancet Commission on Health and Human Rights is an important contribution on the urgent need for accelerated and transformational action on realising the right to health.1 The right to health is a duty held by all states under international human rights law2 and covers a range of entitlements, including available, accessible, acceptable, and good quality health care for mental and physical health, along with freedoms such as bodily autonomy.
