Abstract:

There are good reasons why the remarkable outpouring of work on Southern African urban history that has taken place over the last twenty years has largely bypassed Malawi. To the overwhelmingly rural character of the Malawi economy must be added the weak impact of settler colonialism in the interwar period and hence the failure of Blantyre, one of the oldest colonial settlements in Central Africa, with a history going back to the foundation of the Blantyre mission in 1876, to develop as a substantial commercial centre. This feature was reinforced in turn by Sir Harry Johnston's decision, taken

Abstract:

Background Consumption of herbal medicines among people living with HIV is a common practice in Sub-Saharan Africa. The utilization of herbal medicines was at 17.5% and 67.9% in Malawi and Nigeria, respectively. There is inadequate data on use and adverse reactions (ADRs) reporting of herbal medicines among people living with HIV (PLWHIV). This study was designed to investigate use and ADRs reporting of herbal medicines among PLWHIV at the University Teaching Hospitals in Blantyre, Malawi and Ibadan, Nigeria.MethodologyA cross-sectional study was conducted among PLWHIV attending Antiretroviral

Abstract:

‘Waste’ is everywhere, a common aspect of daily life in both the West and the Global South. However, the ways in which we as individuals understand it as a problem is far from universal. It does not exist independently from the people it affects, rather, waste, as a problem, is continually made and remade through human practice. The purpose of this article is to explore how and why certain ‘waste’ items are and become understood as problems. We adopt Foucault’s (1984) notion of ‘problematisa-tion’, as an analytical lens for conceptualising processes of problem formation through the eyes of two

AbstractIn Blantyre, Malawi's main urban centre with a population of over 400,000, there are some thirty to forty young preachers who between them run fifteen or so organisations that constitute the Born Again movement. The organisations include ‘ministries’ and ‘fellowships’ as well as ‘churches’. The movement started c.1974. What is significant is that all the leaders were then teenagers; even today the second ‘generation’ of preachers are teenagers or in their early twenties.

Abstract:

This article argues that the high level of poverty within the CCAP Blantyre Synod has been due to a lack of kenōsis within the church. The Synod is located in the southern part of Malawi which experiences the highest level of poverty in Malawi. If the kenōsis of Jesus were practised, it would lead to drastic change and enhance societal progress in the lives of the people. The CCAP Synod's inability to practise kenōsis in their daily social and economic life is reflected in the high level of poverty within the congregants and the entire Synod operating system.

Abstract:

As a clinician and lifelong learner, my academic journey has been shaped by curiosity, determination, and the desire to make a meaningful impact. My academic journey has taken me across different districts in Malawi and beyond its borders, shaping my adaptability and resilience. While many assume that I have always been in Blantyre, my early years were quite the opposite.

Abstract 26 Background: Population-based cancer registration is essential to inform cancer control, yet high-quality cancer registration is absent in much of Africa. We undertook this work to initiate and sustain the Malawi National Cancer Registry (MNCR) to: collect high-quality, population-based cancer data to describe the national burden; inform national cancer control programs and policies; provide a rich national resource for epidemiologic cancer research; and develop collaborations with other partners to increase MNCR impact. Methods: MNCR began in 1989 as a hospital-based pathology regi

Abstract:

Background Human infection studies (HIS) also known as Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIM) are a relatively new concept in African countries to clinicians, scientists, and communities alike. We have introduced HIS/CHIM studies to Malawi during the last four years by developing an experimental human pneumococcal carriage model. This CHIM was used to test the efficacy of a licensed 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13) against experimental nasal pneumococcal carriage. Traditional and digital recruitment strategies into this novel trial were explored. Objectives To describe variou

Abstract:

HIV testing is the entry point to the cascade of services within HIV care. Although Malawi has made positive strides in HIV testing, men are lagging at 65.5% while women are at 81.6%. This study explored the preferences of men on the avenues for HIV testing in Blantyre, Malawi. This was a descriptive qualitative study in the phenomenological tradition in seven public health facilities in Blantyre, Malawi, among men and health-care workers (HCWs). We conducted 20 in-depth interviews and held 14 focus group discussions among 113 men of varying HIV statuses. All our participants were purposively

Background There is limited access to diabetes care services at primary care facilities in Malawi. Assessing the capacity of facilities to provide diabetes care is an initial step to integrating services at primary care. Aim To assess the preparedness for delivering diabetes services at primary care level within the Blantyre District Health Office (DHO) to support the response to NCD epidemic in Malawi. Setting Blantyre DHO primary care facilities. Materials and methods A mixed methods approach nested in a national needs assessment for NCD response in Malawi was used. Fourteen primary healthca

Abstract:

Recent evidence shows rapidly changing tuberculosis (TB) epidemiology in Southern and Eastern Africa, with need for subdistrict prevalence estimates to guide targeted interventions. We conducted a pulmonary TB prevalence survey to estimate current TB burden in Blantyre city, Malawi. From May 2019 to March 2020, 115 households in middle/high-density residential Blantyre, were randomly-selected from each of 72 clusters. Consenting eligible participants (household residents ≥ 18 years) were interviewed, including for cough (any duration), and offered HIV testing and chest X-ray; participants with
