      Global Health: Science and Practice August 2014, 2(3):285-294; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-14-00043

      Oxytocin-in-Uniject devices could be stored 30 to 40 days without refrigeration under typical field conditions, with wastage levels below 10%, based on simulation studies.

      Are national policies and programs for prevention and management of postpartum hemorrhage and preeclampsia adequate? A key informant survey in 37 countries
      Jeffrey Michael Smith, Sheena Currie, Tirza Cannon, Deborah Armbruster and Julia Perri
      Global Health: Science and Practice August 2014, 2(3):275-284; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-14-00034

      Most surveyed countries have many supportive policies and program elements, but issues remain that impede maternal health efforts, including: inconsistent availability of essential commodities, particularly misoprostol; limitations on midwives' scope of practice; incomplete or out-of-date service delivery guidelines; and weak reporting systems.

      Strategic contracting practices to improve procurement of health commodities
      Leslie Arney, Prashant Yadav, Roger Miller and Taylor Wilkerson
      Global Health: Science and Practice August 2014, 2(3):295-306; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-14-00068

      Practices such as flexible, pre-established framework agreements can improve timeliness and cost of procurement and help improve commodity security. Addressing legislative barriers and building technical capacity in contract management may facilitate the use of such practices.

      Maximizing the benefits of improved cookstoves: moving from acquisition to correct and consistent use
      Anita Shankar, Michael Johnson, Ethan Kay, Raj Pannu, Theresa Beltramo, Elisa Derby, Stephen Harrell, Curt Davis and Helen Petach
      Global Health: Science and Practice August 2014, 2(3):268-274; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-14-00060

      The adoption of clean cooking technologies goes beyond mere product acquisition and requires attention to issues of cooking traditions, user engagement, gender dynamics, culture, and religion to effect correct and consistent use.

      Global Health: Science and Practice August 2014, 2(3):328-341; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-14-00080

      Between 2008 and 2011, Rwanda introduced iCCM of childhood illness nationwide. One year after iCCM rollout, community-based treatment for diarrhea and pneumonia had increased significantly, and under-5 mortality and overall health facility use had declined significantly.

      Combating trafficking in persons: a call to action for global health professionals
      Luis CdeBaca and Jane Nady Sigmon
      Global Health: Science and Practice August 2014, 2(3):261-267; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-13-00142

      Health care professionals can help identify victims of human trafficking, who commonly come into contact with providers during captivity. Providers can also help restore the physical and mental health of trafficking survivors. Training should focus on recognizing trafficking signs, interviewing techniques, and recommended responses when a victim is identified.
