Abstract:

Despite years of investment in urban water infrastructure, and the state-a supposedly benign public entity-being the major actor in governing water, many poor residents in global south cities such as Blantyre experience unprecedented water-related problems. The neoliberal narrative unequivocally advocates privatising water; it frames the water problem as symptomatic of the unravelling of non-economic means of distributing this basic necessity of life while revering the free market as a panacea to this long-standing challenge. This thesis draws from the production/urbanisation of nature/space l

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with understanding the patient flow from diagnosis of HIV infection to initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Untreated HIV-infected individuals have a high risk of progression to AIDS and death, and of transmitting infection to others. Interventions to ensure prompt linkage into HIV care and ART could have substantial individual and public health benefits. At the turn of the millennium, very few HIV-infected individuals in sub-Saharan Africa had access to lifesaving ART. Since then, national HIV care programmes, supported by international funding, have driven imp

Abstract:

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a global health problem. In sub-Saharan Africa, where the majority of HIV infected individuals live, 1.5 million HIV positive individuals die and 1.2 million become infected every year. Ensuring timely access to anti-retroviral therapy (ART) and efficacious HIV prevention strategies could potentially end the epidemic. To realise these benefits, individuals need access to frequent HIV testing and retesting. Facility-based HIV testing and counselling (HTC) is not popular in the region. HIV self-testing (HIVST), where individuals test in the

Abstract:

Magister Public Health - MPH<br>Background: Cerebral malaria (CM) kills up to 25% of its patients and about one third of its survivors develop neurological impairments (NIs). With advancements in diagnostic and management techniques for CM, more children are likely to survive. The increase in the number of CM survivors may increase the prevalence of children with NIs. In Malawi, rehabilitation for children with NIs is mostly institution-based with erratic community-outreach services, resulting in poor long-term outcomes. To date, community-based rehabilitation (CBR), a comprehensive rehabilita

Energy is the driver of activity in every economy and, therefore, its importance cannot be overemphasised. However, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces general problems of access to modern energy. Most households and industry in SSA use traditional and unclean energy resources for activities such as cooking, lighting and drying of farm produce. Many households in less developed countries have very limited choices with regard to alternatives to traditional energy supplies. Energy poverty is overt in many poor countries, particularly in the Sub-Saharan region where 700 million people are deprived of
