abstract: 'Background
|
||||
|
||||
Ethiopia bears a high burden of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Early
|
||||
|
||||
access to VL diagnosis and care improves clinical prognosis and reduces
|
||||
|
||||
transmission from infected humans; however, significant obstacles exist.
|
||||
|
||||
The approximate 250,000 seasonal mobile workers (MW) employed annually
|
||||
|
||||
in northwestern Ethiopia may be particularly disadvantaged and at risk
|
||||
|
||||
of VL acquisition and death. Our study aimed to assess barriers, and
|
||||
|
||||
recommend interventions to increase access, to VL diagnosis and care
|
||||
|
||||
among MWs.
|
||||
|
||||
Methodology/Principal findings
|
||||
|
||||
In 2017, 50 interviews and 11 focus group discussions were conducted
|
||||
|
||||
with MWs, mobile residents, VL patients and caretakers, community
|
||||
|
||||
leaders and healthcare workers in Kafta Humera District, Tigray.
|
||||
|
||||
Participants reported high vulnerability to VL among MWs and residents
|
||||
|
||||
engaged in transitory work. Multiple visits to health facilities were
|
||||
|
||||
consistently needed to access VL diagnosis. Inadequate healthcare worker
|
||||
|
||||
training, diagnostic test kit unavailability at the primary healthcare
|
||||
|
||||
level, lack of VL awareness, insufficient finances for care-seeking and
|
||||
|
||||
prioritization of income-generating activities were significant barriers
|
||||
|
||||
to diagnosis and care. Social (decision-making and financial) support
|
||||
|
||||
strongly and positively influenced care-seeking; workers unable to
|
||||
|
||||
receive salary advances, compensation for partial work, or peer
|
||||
|
||||
assistance for contract completion were particularly disadvantaged.
|
||||
|
||||
Participants recommended the government/stakeholders intervene to
|
||||
|
||||
ensure: MWs access to bed-nets, food, shelter, water, and healthcare at
|
||||
|
||||
farms or sick leave; decentralization of diagnostic tests to primary
|
||||
|
||||
healthcare facilities; surplus medications/staff during the peak season;
|
||||
|
||||
improved referral/feedback/reporting/training within the health system;
|
||||
|
||||
free comprehensive healthcare for all VL-related services; and community
|
||||
|
||||
health education.
|
||||
|
||||
Conclusions/Significance
|
||||
|
||||
Contrary to what health policy for VL dictates in this endemic setting,
|
||||
|
||||
study participants reported very poor access to diagnosis and,
|
||||
|
||||
consequently, significantly delayed access to treatment. Interventions
|
||||
|
||||
tailored to the socio-economic and health needs of MWs (and other
|
||||
|
||||
persons suffering from VL) are urgently needed to reduce health
|
||||
|
||||
disparities and the VL burden.'
