Identifying Barriers to Access to Treatment with Hydroxyurea for Patients with Sickle Cell Disease – A Qualitative Analysis of the Supply Chain in Ghana
Hydroxyurea is an approved disease modifying therapy for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), which reduces complications associated with SCD and therefore increases quality of life while prolonging life expectancy. Access to comprehensive disease management varies greatly between high- and low-resource countries (Kato et al, 2018, p.11). This study therefore aims to examine how patients with SCD in Ghana access hydroxyurea treatment. Since a country’s supply chain management plays a crucial role in enabling access to pharmaceutical products, this paper also addresses two sub-questions:
- What is the status-quo of the supply chain of hydroxyurea in Ghana?
- What barriers can be identified that hinder SCD patients from accessing treatment with hydroxyurea in Ghana? |

Identifikation des Unterstützungsbedarfs von Patienten mit COPD zur Entwicklung eines Digital Health Assistants
Ziel dieser Studie ist die Identifikation des Unterstützungsbedarfs im Alltag von COPD-Patienten. Basierend darauf soll ein «Digital Health Assistant» entwickelt werden, durch den die Patientendisziplin gesteigert, der Krankheitsverlauf verlangsamt und Krankenhauseinweisungen reduziert werden.
Die Projektmethodik nutzt eine online Patientenumfrage. Die Umfrage dient zur Identifikation des Unterstützungsbedarfs, der dann durch den Digital Health Assistant abgebildet wird. |

What makes the difference on the decision for the delivery mode?
Elective cesarean sections (CS) are primary CS, which oftentimes do not have any medical indication, but are conducted due to psychological issues or woman’s personal preferences. This is the first paper to identify the elective CS ratio in Switzerland, based on a holistic assessment. To identify influencing factors on the decision for the delivery mode, literature was consulted and applied to the Swiss context. Around 8% of all conducted CS are classified as elective. Age, insurance class, movement score, number of nurses per bed, and income per capita are significantly higher for women with elective CS. Contrastingly, a high rurality score and the number of midwives per canton are negatively associated with elective CS. Based on these findings, countermeasures may be formulated to decrease the number of elective CS, as the risk of morbidity and mortality is higher for both the woman and the neonatal.
