Abstract:

In 1970 the medical associations of South Africa and Rhodesia (now, Zimbabwe) were expelled from the Commonwealth Medical Association. The latter had been set up, as the British Medical Commonwealth Medical Conference, in the late 1940s by the British Medical Association (BMA). These expulsions, and the events leading up to them, are the central focus of this article. The BMA’s original intention was to establish an organisation bringing together the medical associations of the constituent parts of the expanding Commonwealth. Among the new body’s preoccupations was the relationship between the medical profession and the state in the associations’ respective countries. It thus has to be seen as primarily a medico-political organisation rather than one concerned with medicine per se. Although, there were also tensions from the outset regarding the membership of the Southern African medical associations. Such stresses notwithstanding, these two organisations remained in the BMA-sponsored body even after South Africa and Rhodesia had left the Commonwealth. This was not, however, a situation which could outlast the growing number of African associations which joined in the wake of decolonisation; and hardening attitudes towards apartheid. The article therefore considers: why the BMA set up this Commonwealth body in the first place and what it hoped to achieve; the history of the problems associated with South African and Rhodesian membership; and how their associations came to be expelled.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article describes the role of transnational anti-apartheid activism in South Africa, Britain and the United States in generating international moral outrage over the readmission of the Medical Association of South Africa (MASA) to the World Medical Association (WMA), which had taken place in 1981 after it had withdrawn from that body in 1976. It discusses an example of a controversy where an international health organisation (IHO) lost moral authority as a result of being accused of white supremacy and a pro-American engagement in Cold War politics. At the time of its readmission to the WMA, the MASA was controversial because of its failure to strike off its membership roll one of the doctors implicated the death in detention of Black Consciousness leader Steve Biko in 1977. It details how these activists viewed the American Medical Association as having campaigned for the MASA’s readmission. The WMA’s readmission of the MASA cost the former its relationships with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the British Medical Association – a dispute which continued until South Africa’s democratic transition of 1994. With its focus on transnational activism in relation to the WMA and the effects of activists’ allegations of racism on its internal politics, this article contributes to the literature on the history of IHOs. Ultimately, this controversy shows the deficiency of international medical professional associations as ethical arbitrators of last resort.

Abstract:

Magister Artium - MA
The intention of this dissertation is to clarify the psychological processes and effects which operate in the political detention situation, and to outline effective treatment and coping strategies. An overview of research literature and theory is provided, and the importance of viewing detention within a broad 'socio-political context is emphasised. In the analysis of the detention situation a number of variables likely to be operative are considered. Solitary confinement, torture, interrogation, reactions to severe stress situation s, and uncertainty, unpredictability and uncontrollability are given separate discussion, interaction situation. prior to an attempt to consider the of these variable s in the detention This projected picture is compared with case material gathered in the area. It is noted that political detention is not a uniform experience with a uniform set of effects. Rather, the effects are seen to be dependent on the particular differences in re-ponse. Nevertheless, political detention is shown to be commonly both objectively and subjectively severely stressful, with a strong likelihood of the detainee developing debilitating psychological sequelae. post-traumatic stress disorder appears to be commonly implicated, and symptom s may persist for many years. Family and community members and organisations to which the detainee belongs suffer not only the effects of the loss of that person, but also the problems of effectively helping him or her to reintegrate. It is shown that detainees have commonly drawn on a number of resources or strategies to counteract the potentially debilitating effects of prior preparation of detention. The for the detention experience to facilitate an accurate appraisal of the situation and better coping is emphasized. Useful strategies that may be learned or fostered are outlined. A multidisciplinary approach to treatment that acknowledges all of the difficulties and needs particular to any specific ex-detainee, and that draws on as broad a recommended. It is shown range of available supports Physiotherapy, psychotherapy, and family involvement are as possible, is medication where stressed. Necessary that much may be learned from Canadian and European units that rehabilitate victims of torture - mainly from South American countries; but that strategies need to be adapted to South African conditions.

Abstract:

Access to safe, legal abortion services is an important public health measure to address morbidity and mortality from unsafe abortion. To expand access and strengthen medical abortion provision in South Africa, evidence is needed on the safety, effectiveness, feasibility and acceptability of task sharing strategies and the implementation of evidence-based regimens. This research aims to: (a) evaluate the safety and acceptability of task sharing gestational age estimation for women seeking abortion, (b) determine the effectiveness and acceptability of text messaging on mobile phones to support women self-managing medical abortion, (c) evaluate the feasibility, safety and acceptability of self-assessment of medical abortion completion using mobile phones alone or in combination with a low-sensitivity pregnancy test, and (d) document clinical outcomes and women's experiences following the introduction of mifepristone into second trimester medical abortion services. Published or submitted papers included in this thesis are from four prospective studies evaluating interventions and interviewing women and health care workers in South African public sector and non-governmental clinics between 2011 and 2015. The first paper establishes that last menstrual period is sufficiently accurate to estimate gestational age in selected women (97%) and has potential to be task shared with community health workers or women themselves. The second paper reports reduced anxiety (p=0.013) and better preparedness (p=0.016) for self-managing abortion symptoms among women receiving automated text messages (compared to those receiving standard care). The third and fourth papers show that mobile phones are a feasible modality for self-assessment for most women (86%), but that clinical history needs to be combined with an appropriate pregnancy test to detect incomplete or failed procedures. Self-assessment using a low-sensitivity pregnancy test is preferred by most women (98%) to in-clinic follow-up, and providing a guided demonstration on the use of a low-sensitivity pregnancy test does not significantly impact on the accuracy of self-assessed abortion outcome compared to simple verbal instructions (88% vs. 85% accuracy; p=0.449). The fifth paper documents successful self-administration of mifepristone, a higher 24-hour abortion rate (93% vs 77%; p<0.001), and greater acceptability following the introduction of mifepristone into second trimester abortion care, compared to historic cohorts receiving misoprostol only. The thesis concludes that supported self-management and task sharing can strengthen medical abortion provision in South Africa. Research evaluating task sharing of medical abortion care has potential to inform similar approaches for other health care services.

Abstract:

Background: Craniosynostosis refers to the premature fusion of calvarial bones which lead to restricted growth potential. Compensatory growth occurs in the dimensions not restricted by fusion and causes progressive distortion in the skull shape. The majority of craniosynostosis cases occur in isolation and are so called non-syndromic craniosynostosis. In about 30 % of all cases, anomalies are noted along with the craniosynostosis, often defining a described and recognised syndrome. The aim is to delineate the phenotype observed in a South African population. Methods: In this descriptive study, hospital records for the preceding five years were retrospectively reviewed to describe the profile of patients with craniosynostosis seen at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in Cape Town. In addition to the retrospective review, a sub cohort of patients were prospectively phenotyped. The patients were subdivided into three groups namely: non-syndromic craniosynostosis, syndromic craniosynostosis and craniosynostosis with additional features. The last group included patients who had additional malformations or clinical findings without a syndromic diagnosis. The prevalence of phenotypic findings, teratogen exposure, birth complications, congenital malformations, surgical interventions and results of genetic testing in this cohort is described. Descriptive statistical analysis was used. Results: A total of 47 children with craniosynostosis were included in this study. Twenty-five individuals of the cohort were male, and one patient has a disorder of sexual development. Eighteen patients had non-syndromic synostosis. Twelve of these had sagittal type synostosis and five had metopic type synostosis with one unspecified. Thirteen had syndromic synostosis. Eight were clinically diagnosed with Crouzon syndrome of which three were molecularly confirmed. Four patients had Apert syndrome and one had Pfeiffer syndrome, these were clinically diagnosed without molecular confirmation. Sixteen patients had craniosynostosis with some additional findings but no syndromic diagnosis. The suture involved in the majority of patients was the sagittal suture. Ten patients had an additional structural brain abnormality and 13 had signs of raised intracranial pressure. The average age at confirmation of diagnosis of craniosynostosis by CT scan was 22.5 months (SD = 31.4, range: 0.1 – 140.9). Thirty of the 47 patients had craniosynostosis surgery. The average age of surgery was 22.4 months (SD = 19; range: 5-79). The anthropometric, phenotype and developmental features indicate that this is a highly heterogenous group of disorders. Conclusion: Craniosynostosis has been widely reported worldwide, especially in individuals of European descent with only a few reports on craniosynostosis in South African or African populations. Knowledge of the phenotypic spectrum will aid in understanding and documenting this group of disorders in our local population. This study also highlights that this is a complex condition best managed by a multidisciplinary team that should include a medical geneticist. The recognition of specific craniosynostosis syndromes together with appropriate molecular testing can be cost effective even in a limited resource setting and aid in accurate prognosis and recurrence risk information for families.

Abstract:

South Africa’s Constitution and the Employment Equity Act have a major impact on the performance of medical examinations within the employment relationship. Health and safety statutes list a number of occupational medical examinations, which an employer must perform. Other legislation permits the execution of medical examinations. After listing the different statutory references to occupational medical examinations, this treatise examines under which conditions medical testing is required or permissible. The fairness of employment discrimination based on medical facts, employment conditions, social policy, distribution of employee benefits and inherent job requirement is analysed through a study of the legal texts, experts’ opinions and case studies. The particularities of the ethical and legal duties of the medical professional, performing the occupational medical examination, are also examined. Finally, a comprehensive analysis of the different forms of occupational medical examinations is compiled by combining legal and policy-related job requirements and is attached as an annexure. This is the practical result of the research in this treatise combined with the personal experience of the author.

Medical practitioners in South Africa are increasingly confronted with requests to treat patients with opioid use disorders. Many do not possess the required knowledge and skills to deal with these patients effectively. This overview of the medical treatment of opioid dependence was compiled by an elected working group of doctors working in the field of substance dependence. Recommendations are based on current best practice derived from scientific evidence and consensus of the working group, but should never replace individual clinical judgement.

Abstract:

Labour law in South Africa has evolved over the past century at an ever increasing pace. The establishment of a democratic government in 1995 has been the trigger for a large number of labour law statutes being promulgated, particularly with reference to the laws governing the employment relationship and dismissal. From very humble and employer biased dispute resolution application under the common law of contract, labour law in this country has evolved through the various acts culminating in a labour law system which is highly regulated and codified. Dismissal for medical incapacity in this treatise is reviewed with regard to the applicable statutes and the various codes of good practice as the law has evolved and developed from the period covered by the common law through that covered by the 1995 LRA up to and including the current period. Particular attention is paid to both substantive and procedural requirements as well as the remedies applicable under the different legal regimes and the pertinent tribunals and courts. Regard is also given to the duration and causes of incapacity and the effect this may have on the applicable remedy applied by these tribunals. It will become apparant that the medically incapacitated employee occupied a relatively weak and vulnerable position under the common law as opposed to the current position under the 1995 LRA. The influence of the remedies applied by the tribunals under the 1956 LRA are clearly evident in the current regulations and codes under the 1995 LRA which contain specific statutory provisions for employees not to be unfairly dismissed. Distinctions are drawn between permissible and impermissible dismissals, with medical incapacity falling under the former. Furthermore, a distinction is drawn statutorily between permanent and temporary illhealth/injury incapacity with detailed guidelines for substantive and procedural fairness requirements to be met by employers. The powers of the specialist tribunals (CCMA, Bargaining Councils and Labour Courts) are regulated by statutory provisions and deal with appropriate remedies (reinstatement and/or compensation) a wardable in appropriate circumstances. Certain specific areas nonetheless still remain problematic for these tribunals and hence questions that require clear direction from the drafters of our law are: How to distinguish misconduct in alcohol and drug abuse cases? What degree of intermittent absenteeism is required before dismissal would be warranted? In certain other areas the tribunals have been fairly consistent and prescriptive in their approach and remedies awarded. Included here would be permanent incapacity, HIV cases and misconduct. It will emerge, however, that under the 1995 LRA the position of employees and the protections afforded them have been greatly increased.

Abstract:

This is an overview of medical education today. It deals with tertiary education matters pertinent to medical schools in South Africa, the forces that will inevitably cause medical education to change and the responses of other countries to similar circumstances. These forces are medical, educational and political. The medical forces bringing about changes are concerned with the explosion in knowledge in the fields of medical facts, technologies, therapies and informatics. It is an ongoing educational problem as to how the burgeoning sciences can be balanced with the present call for the return to the humanities. Medical schools are being required, through their teaching and learning methodologies, to encourage the qualification of empathetic graduates with generalist (holistic) skills and attitudes to best serve their patients. Educational forces, in particular new curriculum strategies, will need to be explored to assist teachers and students to cope with the demands of communities and individuals for care with expertise. In many First World countries these demands have found expression in moves from Traditional to Innovative curricula. Fundamentally, Traditional schools teach normal Anatomy and Physiology first, then move to the abnormal, before students reach the Clinical Years where these "basic sciences" are applied. Innovative schools, on the other hand, employ Problem-Based Learning with Community-Orientation throughout their curricula, with early patient contact, horizontal and vertical integration of disciplines, group work and community interaction as crucial aspects of their students' learning. Supporters of the Innovative philosophy see as progressive the revising of Flexnerian notions of basic science building blocks, the debalkanising of instruction subject by subject and the motivational impetus achieved when learning takes place in context. Political factors can impinge on staff teaching and student learning by Governmental demands through statutory councils or through the power exerted by the universities. Macro politics dictate financial or other resources that are allocated and may in future directly influence what sort of doctor the various medical schools are expected to graduate. The politics of staffing the teaching institutions, the development of teachers, and the demographics of the student population raise important questions of direction and commitment, and may lead to new realignments. The recognition of the importance of teaching at a professional level is a crucial factor in educating students more appropriately. Teachers versed in the medical pedagogic process will be pivotal in producing a new breed of doctors. This new breed will not be expected to "know everything" but have a core knowledge carefully ascertained by each medical faculty and the ability to find information that is further required. Students will not be expected to acquire all the facts to sustain them through the rest of their professional lives, but to have enquiring minds and the motivation to continue their education, to satisfy their curiosity and provide improved patient care. Their skills in mastery of the behavioural sciences will be more pertinent than ever as preventative medicine becomes as important as curative. They will be expected to formulate ethical attitudes and provide leadership in community and individual dilemmas. These are challenges that will need to be faced critically by our medical teachers who are too often experts in content in ever-narrower sub-specialities. For these challenges to be met, teaching cannot be taken for granted, but must be viewed more seriously by the schools and changes made where appropriate. The University of Cape Town (UCT) has a considerable reputation in the quality of its medical graduates. However, for its medical faculty to remain in the forefront of medical education, it needs to reconsider the knowledge required, the skills and attitudes embodied in its graduates but, as importantly, it must take the lead in undergraduate training. The need for renewing strategies and the action required are the themes of this dissertation.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Recent years have been witness to the co-existence of incredible advances in human well-being and healthcare development on the one hand and extreme deprivation and a significant drop in numerous health indicators on the other. Central among this paradox lies the key to accessible, comprehensive and dedicated healthcare - the health workforce and the numerous factors impacting on health professionals and health professional data. Key to health care human resource planning is a comprehensive understanding of the environment and demands that health professionals are faced with. This must be supported by knowledge of the profile of health professionals in a specific country and should lead to detailed health resource planning, based on benchmarks and analytical interpretation of the factors that both determine and influence the number of health professionals. This research report provides an abbreviated background to the local and international health sectors, profiles the current number and distribution of medical practitioners and selected medical specialists in the country and internationally, identifies the key factors for consideration in projecting the number of medical practitioners and medical specialists required for South Africa and proposes a framework for taking the process forward. The research showed that, while there are positive aspects to the South African health professional environment, the country faces dire regional disparities and does not compare favourably to many of its international peers in terms of health professional resources. The key aspects that influence health human resources were identified and it became clear that sustainable and comprehensive health resource planning is not a mere matter of ratios, but is indeed dependent on a number of critical success factors. It is critical that health human resource planning in South Africa requires urgent and comprehensive attention. Failure to address this urgently will result in a health care system continuing to struggle to meet the health care needs of the population. A structured approach is possible, but requires dedication and careful planning.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die laaste paar jare is gekenmerk deur die kontras van indrukwekkende vooruitgang in lewenskwaliteit en gesondheidsorg aan die een kant en ekstreme tekortkominge en die verswakking van gesondheidstatistieke aan die ander. Sentraal tot hierdie paradoks is die sleutel tot toeganklike, omvattende en toegewyde gesondheidsorg - die gesondheidswerkers en die vele faktore wat gesondheidswerkers en - data beinvloed. Die kern van gesondheidsorg menslike hulpbronne beplanning is 'n omvattende begrip van die omgewing en vereistes waaraan gesondheidswerkers blootgestel word. Dit moet ondersteun word deur in diepte kennis van die gesondheidswerker profiel binne in 'n spesifieke land en behoort te lei tot gedetaileerde gesondheidsorg menslike hulpbronne beplanning, na aanleiding van toepaslike verwysingsraamwerke en 'n analitiese interpretasie van die faktore wat die aantal gesondheidswerkers beide bepaal en noodwendig beinvloed. Hierdie navorsingsverslag verskaf 'n sinoptiese agtergrondskets van die nasionale en internasionale gesondheidsektore, gevolg deur die profiel (getalle en verspreiding) van die algemene praktisyns en geselekteerde mediese spesialiste, beide in Suid Afrika en internasionaal. Dit identifiseer die belangrikste faktore vir oorweging in die projeksie van die aantal algmene praktisyns en mediese spesialiste benodig en sluit af met 'n voorgestelde raamwerk vir voortgesette omvattende beplanning. Die navorsing het getoon dat, alhoewel die Suid Afrikaanse gesondheidswerker omgewing deur positiewe aspekte gekenmerk word, die land steeds onderworpe is aan daadwerklike streeks ongelykhede en boonop nie besonder positief vertoon teenoor ander soortgelyke lande nie. Die kern kwessies wat gesondheidswerkers beinvloed is geidentifiseer en dit is duidelik dat onderhoudende en omvattende gesondheidsorg beplanning nie bloot die toepassing van ratios is nie, maar dat dit onderhewig is aan 'n groot verskeidenheid kritiese sukses faktore. Dit is van kritiese belang dat gesondheid menslike hulpbronne beplanning in SA daadwerklike aandag geniet. Die nalaat van hierdie verantwoordelikheid, sal lei tot 'n gesondheidsisteem wat nie in staat is om aan die behoeftes van die land te voldoen nie. 'n Gestruktureerde benadering is moontlik, maar verdien toewyding en beplanning.

Abstract:

The purpose of the research is to assess how the Port Elizabeth Land and Community Restoration project has been perceived by the beneficiaries with regard to spatial transformation.The study is about land restitution programme in Port Elizabeth; with specific emphasis on those land claims which were lodged through a community based organization called Port Elizabeth Land and Community Restoration Association (PELCRA) for the restitution of Fairview, South End, Salisbury Park and Korsten. Such land claims were subsequently part of the PELCRA project for the restitution of Fairview. The study looks specifically at claimants who were dispossessed of their land rights as a result of the implementation of Group Areas Act in the 1960s. The claimants were forcefully removed from Fairview, Korsten, South End and Salisbury Park to their respective race group areas, such as Bloemendal for coloureds, Malabar for Indians and Kwa-Zakhele for Africans.However, before the general objectives of the study could be discussed, it is important to provide a brief historical context that brought about racial segregation in the South African urban setting, and how the post-apartheid government sought to re-integrate, restructure the towns and cities, as well as healing the boundaries set by racial zoning through land reform. This will then followed by the discussion on how the various communities of Port Elizabeth responded to the introduction of the Land Restitution Act 22 of 1994. The post-apartheid government in South Africa faces serious challenges in undoing the legacy of apartheid. One such product of apartheid system is the ‘apartheid city’. It stands out as an extreme example of social engineering. According to Freund (2001, 537) urban segregation was pervasive across the colonial world, some other cities in colonial and even post-colonial Africa were subject to massive forced removals or urbanisation that were comparable to South Africa under the apartheid regime. Urban segregation is therefore not unique to South Africa. It has to be said though that the South African apartheid city was distinctive in a number of ways.

Abstract:

Introduction and background: At least 23 000 new-born babies in South Africa die annually, 45% due to preterm-related complications or the lack of proper healthcare. Prematurity is the leading cause of death in children under five years old with at least 2.5 million preterm infants dying globally each year. What is more, is that greater disparity in mortality is being seen between rich and poor countries. Knowledge of the contributing and causative factors of prematurity within a community can help address modifiable risk factors and create vigilance and awareness around the non-modifiable risk factors leading to preterm birth. Aims and objectives: The aim of the study was to identify which risk factors are associated with prematurity at Bisho Hospital, a district hospital in central Eastern Cape, South Africa. The objectives of the study were to identify which risk factors between the full-term and preterm group were more prevalent and therefore associated with prematurity. Methodology: A descriptive quantitative correlation study design was used, where premature as well as full-term infants were included in the study. Data was collected by means of a questionnaire. All accessible medical notes of both the mother and infant were used as well. The questionnaire was used to establish which risk factors were most prevalent during the pregnancies of women in each group and whether these risk factors were significant contributors to prematurity. Results: A sample of 130 mothers, 50 from the preterm group and 80 from the full-term group were included in the study. Of the 51 questions and various risk factors investigated, only four risk factors showed to have statistical significance in its association with prematurity. These were: a positive HIV status (p=0.022), a poor maternal nutritional status (p=0.031), mothers living far distances from their local clinic (0.041-0.024) and mothers having previously delivered a pre-term baby (p=0.009). In addition to this, mothers who smoked during pregnancy and who had a previous TB diagnosis, was associated with delivering smaller birth weight babies of 580g and 537g less, respectively. Conclusion: The results of this study enlightened the study population on the causes of prematurity, specific to its catchment area. Modifiable risk factors have since been addressed at facility level, with more mothers with a poor nutritional status being referred for nutritional support. Non-modifiable risk factors are in the process of being addressed through the involvement of primary health care facilities to ensure timeous referrals of those at-risk patients as identified within the study. This study has also inspired the continued research on the management of premature infants at District Hospitals, with hopes to improve and optimise management and reduce pre-term related deaths and disability. Key Words: Preterm birth; poor maternal nutritional status; district hospital; Eastern Cape; South Africa

Abstract:

This case study focuses on the integration of gender issues in medical education in Maharashtra, India, and its expansion to other states. The programme was selected as a promising practice because it addresses the integration of gender perspectives into medical education, recognised as vital for enhancing the competence of medical and healthcare professionals, enabling them to provide effective, culturally sensitive healthcare that promotes gender equity in health and improves wellbeing (House et al. 2021). Based on in-depth analyses of interviews and published materials, it documents and analyses contextual factors that gave rise to the gender in medical education (GME) initiative, the enabling factors and challenges encountered, some of the outcomes achieved and lessons learned, including those that might be transferable to other contexts working on integrating GME, both within India and abroad.

Full text

Abstract:

In their stormy response to Nancy MacLean’s book Democracy in Chains, some academics on the libertarian right have conducted a concerted defense of Nobel Laureate James Buchanan’s credentials as an anti-racist, or at least a non-racist. An odd component of their argument is a claim of innocence by association: the peripatetic South African economist and Mont Pelerin Society founding member William Harold Hutt was against apartheid; Buchanan was a friend and supporter of Hutt; therefore, Buchanan could not have been abetting segregationists with his support for public funding of segregationist private schools. At the core of this chain of argument is the inference that Hutt’s opposition to apartheid proves that Hutt himself was committed to racial equality. However, just as there were white supremacists who opposed slavery in the United States, we demonstrate Hutt was a white supremacist who opposed apartheid in South Africa. We document how Hutt embraced notions of black inferiority, even in The Economics of the Colour Bar, his most ferocious attack on apartheid. Whether or not innocence by association is a sound defense of anyone’s ideology or conduct, Hutt, himself, was not innocent of white supremacy.

Abstract:

This case focuses on how gender integration was embedded within the practices and administration of a tertiary hospital in the Philippines. The programme was selected as a promising practice because BGHMC stands out as an example of how to address gender inequalities and improve cultural competence. Based on in-depth analyses of interviews and published materials, it examines the contextual factors that gave rise to the institutionalisation of gender integration in BGHMC, the enabling factors and challenges encountered, outcomes achieved, and lessons learned, including those that might be transferable to other contexts.

Full text

Abstract:

This brief summarises key considerations concerning cross-border dynamics between Tanzania and Uganda in the context of the outbreak of Ebola (Sudan Virus Disease, SVD) in Uganda. It is part of a series focusing on at-risk border areas between Uganda and four high priority neighbouring countries: Rwanda; Tanzania; Kenya and South Sudan. The current outbreak is of the Sudan strain of Ebola (SVD). SVD is used in this paper to refer to the current outbreak in East Africa, whereas outbreaks of Zaire Ebolavirus disease or general references to Ebola are referred to as EVD. The current outbreak began in Mubende, Uganda, on 19 September 2022, approximately 240km from the Uganda-Tanzania border. It has since spread to nine Ugandan districts, including two in the Kampala metropolitan area. Kampala is a transport hub, with a population over 3.6 million. While the global risk from SVD remains low according to the World Health Organization, its presence in the Ugandan capital has significantly heightened the risk to regional neighbours. At the time of writing, there had been no cases of Ebola imported from Uganda into Tanzania. This brief provides details about cross-border relations, the political and economic dynamics likely to influence these, and specific areas and actors most at risk. It is based on a rapid review of existing published and grey literature, previous ethnographic research in Tanzania, and informal discussions with colleagues from the Tanzania’s Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MoHCDGEC), Tanzania National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), Uganda Red Cross Society, Tanzania Red Cross Society (TRCS), International Organization for Migration (IOM), IFRC, US CDC and CDC Tanzania. The brief was developed by Shelley Lees and Mark Marchant (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine) with support from Olivia Tulloch (Anthrologica) and Hugh Lamarque (University of Edinburgh). Additional review and inputs were provided by The Tanzania Red Cross and UNICEF. The brief is the responsibility of the Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP).

Abstract:

The 14th Biennial Meeting of the International Human Rights Network of Academies and Scholarly Societies (IHRN) began with an Early Career Scholars Panel, during which up-and-coming scholars deliberated on present-day global human rights issues. The moderator of the panel was Prof Catherine Burns (Associate Professor of Medical History, University of Witwatersrand) and the panel members were Lt Col Dr Esewu Mxolisi Mathebula (South African Association of PhDs), Mr Michael Martin (New Voices in Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, U.S. National Academies), Prof Mzukisi Njotini (Dean of the Faculty of Law, University of Fort Hare, South African Young Academy of Science) and Prof Martha Bradley (Associate Professor in the Department of Public Law, University of Johannesburg, Future Professors Programme). In this session, the Early Career Scholars gave their perspectives on topics related to the theme of the IHRN meeting, ‘The Role of National Academies and Universities in Promoting Human Rights and Enhancing Equality.’ The session had posed a greater number of questions than it had provided answers for. However, some questions stood out, namely how scholars communicate their scientific knowledge in ways that are respectful and dignified, but still critical and engaged across class, gender, hierarchy and region. ASSAf was acknowledged for bringing scholars and colleagues from learned societies together at this event and addressing current and controversial issues. Science can correct itself only through processes such as this.

Programming for HIV prevention in South African schools. Population Council, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/hiv2003.1011.

Full text

Abstract:

As national education programs incorporate HIV prevention into school curricula, policymakers and educators need to know what they can expect from these initiatives. Can such courses influence the behavior of students as well as their knowledge and attitudes? If not, what can these courses reasonably be expected to accomplish, and what part can they play in overall HIV programming for youth? To help answer these questions, the Medical Research Council of South Africa and the Horizons Program studied the Life Skills Grade 9 Curriculum, a school-based HIV/AIDS initiative, as it was introduced in the Pietermaritzburg region of KwaZulu Natal Province in 2001. The 16-hour Grade 9 Curriculum is taught at least once a week over two school terms as part of the Life Orientation subject. The national and provincial South African departments of education, health, and social welfare collaborated on the curriculum design, teacher training, and course introduction. Horizons assessed the life skills program in KwaZulu Natal using both a population-based survey and an evaluation of the course curriculum. This brief focuses on the impact of the curriculum that was being introduced to ninth-grade students.
