    Aleksander Dawidziuk, Michal Kawka, Bartosz Szyszka, Ignatius Wadunde and Aastha Ghimire
    Global Health: Science and Practice January 2021, https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00455

    Although some medical education institutions in high-income countries have the capacity to shift education to eLearning during the COVID-19 pandemic, educational institutions in low- and middle-income countries might struggle to fully implement it. We argue for medical students to advocate for national and international collaboration in adopting technology-enhanced learning globally.

    Hospitals in low- and middle-income countries urgently need to improve their oxygen systems for COVID-19 and other health emergencies. We share practical tips to improve pulse oximetry and oxygen use, support biomedical engineers to optimize existing oxygen supplies, and expand existing oxygen systems with robust equipment and smart design.

    Go Where the Virus Is: An HIV Micro-epidemic Control Approach to Stop HIV Transmission
    Michael M. Cassell, Rose Wilcher, Reshmie A. Ramautarsing, Nittaya Phanuphak and Timothy D. Mastro
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2020, 8(4):614-625; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00418

    Essentially all HIV transmission is from people living with HIV who are not virally suppressed. An HIV micro-epidemic control approach that differentiates treatment support and prevention services for people living with HIV and their network members according to viral burden could optimize the impact of epidemic control efforts.

    Implementation of a Pediatric Early Warning Score to Improve Communication and Nursing Empowerment in a Rural District Hospital in Rwanda
    Shela Sridhar, Alexis Schmid, Francois Biziyaremye, Samantha Hodge, Ngamika Patient and Kim Wilson
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2020, 8(4):838-845; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00075

    Implementation of the Pediatric Early Warning Score for Resource-Limited Settings tool improved nurses’ competency and confidence in their triage capabilities. This tool has the potential to improve patient outcomes. However, staff turnover and limited physician buy-in were barriers to sustainability of the tool in low-resource settings.
