  • Urban Health in Africa: a Critical Global Public Health Priority Jo Vearey1, Isaac Luginaah2,Ng’Weina Francis Magitta3, Dativa J
    Vearey et al. BMC Public Health (2019) 19:340 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-019-6674-8 CORRESPONDENCE Open Access Urban health in Africa: a critical global public health priority Jo Vearey1, Isaac Luginaah2,Ng’weina Francis Magitta3, Dativa J. Shilla4 and Tolu Oni5,6,7* Abstract The African continent is predicted to be home to over half of the expected global population growth between 2015 and 2050, highlighting the importance of addressing population health in Africa for improving public health globally. By 2050, nearly 60% of the population of the continent is expected to be living in urban areas and 35– 40% of children and adolescents globally are projected to be living in Africa. Urgent attention is therefore required to respond to this population growth - particularly in the context of an increasingly urban and young population. To this end, the Research Initiative for Cities Health and Equity in Africa (RICHE Africa) Network aims to support the development of evidence to inform policy and programming to improve urban health across the continent. This paper highlights the importance of action in the African continent for achieving global public health targets. Specifically, we argue that a focus on urban health in Africa is urgently required in order to support progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other global and regional public health targets, including Universal Health Coverage (UHC), the new Urban Agenda, and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. Action on urban public health in Africa is critical for achieving global public health targets. Four key research and training priorities for improving urban health in Africa, are outlined: (1) increase intersectoral urban health literacy; (2) apply a healthy urban governance and systems approach; (3) develop a participatory and collaborative urban health planning process; and, (4) produce a new generation of urban health scholars and practitioners.

  • The Association Between a Detectable HIV Viral Load and Non-Communicable Diseases Comorbidity in HIV Positive Adults on Antiretr
    George et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2019) 19:348 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-019-3956-9 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access The association between a detectable HIV viral load and non-communicable diseases comorbidity in HIV positive adults on antiretroviral therapy in Western Cape, South Africa S. George1, N. McGrath2,3,4 and T. Oni5,6* Abstract Background: Past studies have found a relationship between detectable HIV viral load and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in HIV-infected individuals on antiretroviral therapy in high-income settings, however there is little research in South Africa. Our objective was to investigate the association between detectable HIV viral load and prevalent NCDs in a primary health centre in peri-urban South Africa. Methods: HIV-infected adults (aged ≥25) who had been on antiretroviral therapy for ≥ six months and attended the HIV clinic within a primary health centre in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, were recruited. We recorded participants’ demographics, HIV characteristics, the presence of NCDs via self-report, from clinic folders and from measurement of their blood pressure on the day of interview. We used logistic regression to estimate the association between a detectable HIV viral load and NCD comorbidity. Results: We recruited 330 adults. We found no association between a detectable HIV viral load and NCD comorbidity. Within our multivariable model, female gender (OR3·26; p = 0·02) age > 35 (OR 0·40; p = 0·02) low CD4 count (compared to CD4 < 300 (reference category): CD4:300–449 OR 0·28; CD4:450–599 OR 0·12, CD4:≥600 OR 0·12; p = < 0·001), and ever smoking (OR 3·95; p = < 0·001) were associated with a detectable HIV viral load.

  • Patterns of HIV, TB, and Non-Communicable
    Oni et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2015) 15:20 DOI 10.1186/s12879-015-0750-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Patterns of HIV, TB, and non-communicable disease multi-morbidity in peri-urban South Africa- a cross sectional study Tolu Oni1,2,3*, Elizabeth Youngblood4, Andrew Boulle2,3, Nuala McGrath5,6, Robert J Wilkinson2,4,7,8 and Naomi S Levitt4,9 Abstract Background: Many low and middle-income countries are experiencing colliding epidemics of chronic infectious (ID) and non-communicable diseases (NCD). As a result, the prevalence of multiple morbidities (MM) is rising. Methods: We conducted a study to describe the epidemiology of MM in a primary care clinic in Khayelitsha. Adults with at least one of HIV, tuberculosis (TB), diabetes (DM), and hypertension (HPT) were identified between Sept 2012-May 2013 on electronic databases. Using unique patient identifiers, drugs prescribed across all facilities in the province were linked to each patient and each drug class assigned a condition. Results: These 4 diseases accounted for 45% of all prescription visits. Among 14364 chronic disease patients, HPT was the most common morbidity (65%). 22.6% of patients had MM, with an increasing prevalence with age; and a high prevalence among younger antiretroviral therapy (ART) patients (26% and 30% in 18-35 yr and 36–45 year age groups respectively). Among these younger ART patients with MM, HPT and DM prevalence was higher than in those not on ART. Conclusions: We highlight the co-existence of multiple ID and NCD. This presents both challenges (increasing complexity and the impact on health services, providers and patients), and opportunities for chronic diseases screening in a population linked to care.

  • BOLDER ACTION for HEALTH in AFRICA.Qxp 2019-03-22 10:08 AM Page 1
    NEF - BOLDER ACTION FOR HEALTH IN AFRICA.qxp 2019-03-22 10:08 AM Page 1 BOLDER ACTION FOR HEALTH IN AFRICA from Building Health Systems to Building Systems for Health for NCD prevention NEF - BOLDER ACTION FOR HEALTH IN AFRICA.qxp 2019-03-22 10:08 AM Page 2 Key Messages 1. African countries are not on track to achieve their targets for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) prevention and management. These targets are - reducing the prevalence of NCDs by 25% by 2025 and by 30% by 2030. 2. The risk factors for NCDs are driven by complex ecological drivers including poor urban development, poverty, socio-cultural factors, and the unbridled proliferation of the commercial determinants of health including unhealthy food environments, tobacco, and alcohol. 3. The prevailing focus of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) on healthcare service provision is insufficient in itself to achieve health and wellbeing in Africa. This is because the risk factors for NCDs are shaped outside the healthcare sector. 4. To turn the tide of this emerging NCD epidemic in Africa, a re-think of universal health coverage towards a systems-for-health approach is required, from reactive provision of health services to proactive health creation and prevention 5. This approach incorporates health determinant sectors that produce health outcomes – housing, planning, waste management, education, governance, finance, amongst others; in strategies to improve health. 6. For long-term cost-saving, in addition to financing healthcare, investments in universal health coverage in Africa should invest in strengthening the systems that can be harnessed to produce health, aligning governance mechanisms and strategic objectives of all health determinant sectors for health creation.

  • MEDIA ALERT February 3, 2021 Leading Sustainability Experts
    MEDIA ALERT February 3, 2021 Leading sustainability experts examine equity, inclusivity and solidarity in live streamed event The first in a series of live streamed events called SRI Talks will take place on February 18, 2021, bringing together world-leading experts in sustainability science and practice to discuss vital questions around equity, inclusivity and solidarity. The free talk features a panel of globally renowned speakers who will discuss the topic ‘Sustainability for Whom?’: • M. Sanjayan, CEO Conservation International • Yolanda Kakabadse, Former Minister of Environment, Ecuador • Tolullah Oni, Joint lead of the Global Diet and Activity Research Group, University of Cambridge; Honorary Associate Professor, University of Cape Town; Founder & Principal of UrbanBetter • Winona LaDuke, Environmentalist and political activist Global sustainability cannot be realized without achieving sustainability for the most vulnerable and underrepresented communities – many of them in low- and middle-income countries, as well as those increasingly left behind in high-income countries. Yet the framing of sustainability, investment in innovation, and academic analysis has been dominated by processes that give relatively little regard to and participation from these communities, even when they are about them. This bias matters, because decisions on sustainability include important trade-offs, and processes that lack inclusivity and diversity miss many opportunities arising from the different social, cultural and demographic attributes. This SRI Talk theme, ‘Sustainability for Whom?’, is one of the five Congress Pillars of Sustainability Research and Innovation Congress 2021 (SRI2021) which will take place June 12-15, 2021, in Brisbane, Australia and will be live streamed online for registered participants. The upcoming 60-minute SRI Talk will be live streamed through the SRI2021 virtual platform and will include a moderated discussion and live audience Q&A.

When it comes to this continent, there is more to discuss than what tends to dominate the headlines – hardship, corruption and war. This issue primarily focuses on the potential of its talented young people. Take, for example, scientist Tolullah Oni from Nigeria, shown on our cover page. She is one of the fellows of the Next Einstein Forum (NEF), the largest African science conference to date – which took place for the second time this year. The NEF was created in partnership with the Rob- ert Bosch Stiftung. Our involvement in Africa has many other facets. Read, for example, about impres- sive people working toward peace and the resolving of conflicts, or learn why an African Robert Bosch Academy fellow considers development aid a mistake.
