Byass, Peter. "Microcomputer support for health care delivery in the Gambia." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 1990. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/12413/.

Abstract:
Microcomputer support for health care delivery is a relatively new concept in developing countries, despite serious shortages of human expertise. In this light, the concept of microcomputer-based decision support for patient management at the rural health centre level in The Gambia is discussed and developed. Possible methodologies are devised and evaluated, taking into account constraints imposed both by feasibility of hardware for the rural African setting and by appropriate software techniques. Clinical data were collected for a pilot system, which was implemented using a Bayesian methodolo

Abstract:
Health care associated infections cause major challenges to the provision of health care. This isdue to the burden placed on individuals, their families, and health services. Hand hygiene actions are cost effective measures towards reducing the spread of health care associated infections and have proven very effective in preventing microbial transmission during patient care. It has beenproven that health care workers hands are the main routes of transmission of health care associated infections. Despite this, hand hygiene is still frequently overlooked by health careworkers especially in setti

Abstract:
This research builds upon a body of previous research on health informatics in developing countries. Early research on this area was motivated by a desire to understand the role of different health informatics applications for an effective and efficient health care delivery in developing countries. These applications range from the use of medical expert systems for clinical diagnosis to epidemiological systems at the central level. None of these looked at health information systems at the district level, especially in relation to the information needs of district health staff. Therefore, this

Abstract:
This research focuses on injuries from all mechanisms, with particular focus on road traffic injuries in urban Gambia. Data from trauma registries established in two major trauma hospitals were used to address three aims: 1) examine the general characteristics of injured individuals and their injuries, and identify factors associated with discharge status from the hospital emergency room; 2) identify differences in road-user, collision, vehicle, and driver factors, among individuals hospitalized with a road traffic injury; and 3) examine personal, crash, and injury factors associated with tran

Abstract:
Thirty years after the concept of primary health care (PHC) was declared the path to health for all, a crisis continues in human resources for health in Africa. This involves the low prioritisation of education and training for primary health care personnel (PHCP) which is crucial to effective practice in severely under-resourced settings. The curriculum required for this education, involving pictures and textual materials, must meet the needs and capacities of the learners so that learning transfer can occur and community health needs are met. This research set out to establish the basis upon

Abstract:
Insecticide-impregnated bednets are currently being promoted as one of the promising malaria control methods in endemic regions of most developing countries. Although, much is known about the entomological and epidemiological aspects of treated bednets, little is known about the efficiency of malaria control programmes in general, and bednets in particular. This cost-effectiveness analysis forms part of the evaluation of the Gambian National Insecticide-impregnated Bednet Programme (NIBP). The research was conducted in the rural Gambia where malaria is endemic. An integrated approach to data c
