Introduction: Tonsillectomy is one of the commonest surgical procedures performed worldwide and has implications for reducing morbidity for patients. There has been variability in tonsillectomy care patterns but we are unaware of any study conducted in Tanzania to survey such variable patterns. The objective of this study is to assess the current patterns of peri-operative care, techniques used and outcome of tonsillectomy by otorhinolaryngologists in Tanzania. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study in which a structured 18-item questionnaire was used to obtain information on tonsillectomy care patterns. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 20. Results: Among 26 (78.8%) of 33 otorhinolaryngologists practicing in Tanzania who responded to the questionnaire, three (11.5%) were females and 23 (88.4%) were males. Regarding intraoperatively use of steroids, eight (30.8%) otorhinolaryngologists do not use intraoperative steroids while four (15.4%) always used steroids. Twenty-four (92.3%) routinely prescribed postoperative antibiotics. Among the otorhinolaryngologists, 34.6% reported to have never performed same day tonsillectomy while 65.4% sometimes performed same day tonsillectomy. Conclusion: This study has shown a similar diversity as compared elsewhere in the world of the practice of tonsillectomy care patterns, technique used and outcome among otorhinolaryngologists.

Introduction: Glaucoma remains the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. Early detection and treatment play a key role in glaucoma management. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of glaucoma among patients attending the eye clinic at Buluk Eye Centre from 1st January to 31st December 2017. Method: This study was a cross-sectional retrospective study using data extracted from the registration cards of patients at Buluk Eye Centre from 1st of January 2017 to 31st of December 2017. A datasheet was used to collect the relevant variables including demographic variables. Data were entered, organized and analysed using SPSS version 21 [IBM SPSS Statistics] and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The studied population was 16,727 patients (33,454 eyes) seen, age range from 7 months to 90 years, (mean 56.7, SD 14.7). There were 63% females and 37% males, ratio of 1.7:1 (p<0.05). Glaucoma accounted for 2.3% of diseases seen with p<0.05. Females (58%) were more affected than males (42%), with age group 46-60 years being the most affected (36.9% p<0.05). Most of the patients (71.9%) had visual acuity of less than 3/60 in both eyes (p<0.05). The highest proportion of glaucoma cases (29.4%) presented in July to September, with the least (21.2%) from January to March. Most of the glaucoma cases (39%) originated from Central Equatoria and the least (1%) from Abyei. Conclusion: Glaucoma remains a significant cause of severe sight loss in South Sudan, particularly affecting females and those aged 45-60 years.

Introduction: The number of patients presenting with musculoskeletal disorders to the outpatient clinic at Juba Military Hospital is increasing. The aim of this study was to determine the proportion and types of musculoskeletal disorders among patients attending the orthopaedic outreach clinic during September 2021. Method: A cross-sectional study designed to determine the proportion and types of musculoskeletal disorders among patients presenting to Juba Military Hospital. One hundred and thirty-three patients were recruited. After informed consent, data were collected using a paper-based Questionnaire and analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. Result: A total of 327 patients presented to outreach clinic, 133 patients consented and were included in the study. The mean age was 41 years (3 to 73 years, SD 16.9); 52.6% were male and 47% female. The conditions diagnosed were osteoarthritis of major joints, 20.3%, low back pain 18.8%, non-union 15.8% and mal-union 11.3%. Among patients with knee problems, 54% were unilateral knee osteoarthritis and 28% bilateral knee osteoarthritis. Patients with back problems: 80% low back pain of unspecified cause, 16% spondylolisthesis and 4% Pott’s disease of the spine. Also 29% mal-union femur and 25% femoral neck fracture. Tibia condition: 40% Non-union, 20% mal-union Tibia fracture. Conclusion: Musculoskeletal disorders are common among the residents of Juba city. There is high proportion of osteoarthritis and low back pain among other diagnosed conditions.

Recently, special attention has been given to the community pharmacy and how ready it is to meet the growing demand for health care at times of pandemics. Several studies have discussed the roles and contributions of the community pharmacy amid COVID-19. An online assessment among pharmacy personnel in South Sudan showed that 57.5% of respondents had answered correctly to at least 60% of knowledge questions on the COVID-19 pandemic. The attitudes were a mix of neutral and positive. Physical distance (“social distancing”) and hand hygiene practices (95%) were the most often preventive measures used at the community pharmacy. In conclusion, the pharmacy is the first and, often, the last point of contact for patients. Therefore, it can play a role in identifying suspected infectious diseases and advising and instructing the public against any health emergency.

Introduction: The HIV/AIDS scourge remains a major public health threat in South Sudan particularly to the unborn children due to vertical transmission. Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of HIV among pregnant mothers receiving antenatal care (ANC) services at Kator Primary Healthcare Centre in Juba. Method: The study used a cross-sectional design in which systematically selected ANC records of January to June 2021 were collected and analyzed using SPSS Version 16.0. Fisher’s exact values were obtained to test for significance. Results: The HIV prevalence rate among pregnant mothers receiving ANC services at Kator PHCC was 2.25%. The modal age group was 21-25 years. HIV prevalence was highest among mothers who attained primary education or less, urban dwellers and married mothers in their 3rd trimester of pregnancy. Conclusion: HIV prevalence among pregnant mothers receiving ANC services at Kator PHCC in Juba is comparable to the national average.

Global Health Media Project creates teaching videos on basic health care practices for providers and people in low-resource settings. The organization was founded by Deborah Van Dyke, whose work and experience in South Sudan helped her see that practical, “how-to” videos would be an effective way to teach health workers at scale. Their live-action videos—filmed in developing world clinics—feature “best-practice” care with real patients. They have now produced more than 200 videos that fill an important gap in health care education worldwide.

Introduction: Globally, poor male participation in antenatal care (ANC) and reproductive health issues is still a challenge towards improvement of maternal and child health. Quality antenatal care and birth outcomes depend on the shared responsibility between men and women. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the level of male participation in ANC and the associated social demographic determinants. Method: The study was cross-sectional and was based in the community in the Nyamagana district, Tanzania. Male partners aged 18-49 years were interviewed using the four dichotomized (yes or no) variables to determine the level of male participation in ANC. The data were analyzed by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Version 24). Chi-square test was used to determine the association between demographic characteristics and the level of male involvement in ANC. Results: The level of male participation was high in this study (76.3%). Men with a primary level of education were twice (AOR 2.15, 95% CI [1.15– 4.02], p-value 0.01) as likely to participate in ANC compared to men with no formal education. If the number of children was more than two, there was a significant association with male participation in ANC (OR 1.57, 95% CI [1.12–1.77], p =0.02). Conclusion: The level of male participation in ANC is high in Nyamagana district. The number of children and level of education are social demographic determinants of male participation in ANC.
导言:在全球范围内，男性对产前保健和生殖健康问题的参与不足，仍然是改善孕产妇和儿童健康的一个挑战。高质量的产前保健和分娩结果取决于男女之间的共同责任。目的:本研究的目的是评估男性参与ANC的水平和相关的社会人口统计学决定因素。方法:本研究采用横断面方法，以坦桑尼亚尼亚马加纳地区的社区为基础。对年龄在18-49岁的男性伴侣进行访谈，使用四种二分法(是或否)变量来确定男性参与ANC的水平。使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS Version 24)对数据进行分析。采用卡方检验确定人口统计学特征与男性参与ANC水平之间的关系。结果:本研究男性参照率较高(76.3%)。与未接受过正规教育的男性相比，接受过初级教育的男性参加ANC的可能性是前者的两倍(AOR 2.15, 95% CI [1.15 - 4.02]， p值0.01)。如果儿童数量大于2个，则与男性参与ANC有显著相关性(OR 1.57, 95% CI [1.12-1.77]， p =0.02)。结论:Nyamagana区ANC的男性参与率较高。儿童人数和教育水平是男性参加非国大的社会人口决定因素。
