Excited to share my latest citation! As we continue to celebrate small wins in research publications join me in celebrating the first citation of my Master of science degree thesis now published in a peer reviewed journal and accessible  via this link https://lnkd.in/d-MXEBE4 . In the paper, we investigated the Health seeking behaviours associated with eye care services in Malawi. The work in entrenched in the health belief model which "hypothesizes that health related behaviour depends on the combination of several factors including perceived susceptibility, perceived severity,perceived benefits,perceived barriers,cues to action and self-efficacy". #research #publication #healthseekingbehaviour #healthbeliefmodel #access #universalcoverage

In what should be my 50th Scopus-indexed paper, we once more bring the conversation of evidence-translation to the front seat. Here, we showed particular interest in mathematical and economic models and how such important evidence is used by health policymakers in Nigeria. An interesting take is the appreciation of scientific evidence by policymakers. However, the structures and relationships that should compel health policymakers to steadfastly use scientific evidence, inclusive of models, are missing in some contexts, and/or suboptimal in others. We show how these lapses in our health system can be sustainably addressed, and we recognise some good examples ongoing in the system.

DEVELOPING WORLD IN SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING - For the first time in history, we are offering the developing world the opportunity to sit at, not be on, the table in starting and operating a scholarly global health journal. Our pilot work with authors from #Nigeria, a major producer of scholarly work in Africa, is promising. Together, we are growing International Journal of Translational Medical Research and Public Health #IJTransmed is rigorous, fast, and widely disseminated.

How to manage publication fees as a member of an LMIC like Bangladesh? Publication fees, also known as article processing charges (APC), are fees charged to authors. It makes academic work available as open access, in either a full open access journal or in a hybrid journal. The global average per-journal APC by reputed publishers like Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, Taylor & Francis is $1,626. Of course, there is a wide variation (from $100 to $5,000), but you must be prepared for around $2,000. Now the question is how to manage such a huge amount by a member of a low and middle-income country like Bangladesh? The answers are: 1. Firstly, a majority of open-access journals do not charge article processing fees for a member of LMIC; you need to find those journals during your primary selection. 2. Secondly, if this manuscript is from a funded project, you can have APC from your project (but make sure your project has this budget) 3. Thirdly, please check with your organization/institute. Nowadays, many of them in LMIC support their researchers by providing APC to uplift their research capacity and achieve higher rank. 4. Fourthly, you can contribute by yourself (all authors can share among them). 5. Finally, if everything fails, you can request a waiver as a member of LMIC and non-funded research. Most journal editors will be kind enough to provide you with at least a 50% waiver. Dear readers, please add if there are any other possible ways. I hope this will help many young researchers to plan their APC.

🙌 I am excited to share my insights on current challenges and opportunities in Ukrainian health sector at the upcoming EuHealth Economics Association (EuHEA) Conference in Vienna from June 30 to July 3!  The conference is a significant event for the European health sector and spotlights several aspects of health economics. I am grateful for the opportunity to present two pivotal studies conducted by our USAID Health Reform Support team and to chair a session on healthcare reform during the war: 📊 Examining the Landscape of Informal Payments in Ukraine at 15:00 (CET) on July 2  📊 Healthcare Reform and War in Ukraine: Examining Perspectives of Healthcare Workers at 13:15 (CET) on July 3 – this is the session I’m chairing 💪 These presentations will offer insights into current challenges and opportunities within Ukraine’s health sector. I look forward to engaging with conference participants and contributing to meaningful health economics and policy discussions. Participation in this conference is crucial for USAID HRS as it provides a platform to share our experiences, showcase the positive outcomes of our health reform efforts despite the ongoing war, and foster international collaboration in addressing healthcare challenges. If you’re attending the conference, I invite you to join these sessions! 👉 For more details, check out the conference program via the link in the first comment on this post. #HealthEconomics #HealthcareReform #USAID #HealthReformSupport #UkraineHealth #EuHEA #Conference

Excited to share that I'll be speaking at the Somali American Medical Association's virtual research event "How to Obtain Research Experience." where I'll be sharing my research experience to help medical students and those early in their residency bolster their research. I'll be answering the following questions and more: 1. Where to start with no research experience? 2. How to approach research opportunities and mentorship? 3. What type of research to focus on and when? 4. How to align research with your specific field of interest? Join me, Dr. Hawa Ali, and Dr. Abdirahman Wardhere on August 11, 2024, at 11 AM ET. #SAMA
