The majority of the countries in the world are grappling with the onslaught of COVID-19 by engaging in various measures to safeguard the lives of citizens of their country. Against this backdrop, the present research aims at identifying the attributes that governments need to pay increased attention. The perception data was collected from citizens of two countries i.e., Bangladeshis (n = 102) and Malaysians (n = 97). The Importance Compliance Analysis (ICA) was applied on 29 attributes for the two countries' citizens and a comparison was made on the findings. Apart from ICA, Paired as well as Independent Sample t-tests were performed on the data collected. According to the findings (which are applicable for both countries), the respective government should take measures so that their citizens strictly adhere to the recommended attributes. The study findings may also help other countries as well in limiting the spread of COVID-19.

Social inequalities have been linked to mental disorders, with the poor and disadvantaged reporting higher rates. Additionally, differences in socioeconomic status have substantial effects on both physical and mental health through access to healthcare, environmental exposure, and health behaviour. This paper directly controls for race and ethnicity in addition to gender, education and income, and finds physical activity, for all races and ethnicities, to be associated with lower number of reported mentally unhealthy days. Complementing early work using accelerometers but not limited by their methodological constraints, our work highlights the manner by which mental health varies by race, ethnicity, and gender for the adult population. These results are relevant to public policy setting, showing how physical activity benefits a wider scope of factors regarding mental health.

Poor accessibility of healthcare interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has resulted in increased suffering and lower health benefits. This is caused by a host of demand-side and supply-side barriers that need to be investigated to design effective strategies. The rate of underutilisation of healthcare interventions is high in LMICs and the utilisation is lower at the lowest tier of the population ladder. The supply-side factors include inefficient resources, inappropriate allocations and inadequate quality. The demand-side factors include income, price, non-price cost, location, nature of household decision-making and broader cultural influences. Policy interventions at the demand and supply side should be aligned together to achieve balanced progress. This can be achieved by exploring options of financial rewards, pre-payment schemes, supporting community-based financing, influencing household preferences, addressing cultural and societal sensitivities and empowering healthcare professionals, especially in the rural areas.
