New article! In our latest article in the Special Issue of the Indian Journal of Medical Research on Implementation Research, we highlight the perceptions and practices of remote rural and tribal communities in Maharashtra and Odisha regarding snakebite envenomation. We document various cultural practices, myths and beliefs of people for the prevention and first aid of snakebite. We provide crucial insights for reducing the snakebite burden via the Barrier to Prevention and Barrier to Management frameworks that could be used by researchers in all high burden regions globally to design snakebite control strategies.

Exciting Research Announcement! I'm thrilled to share the publication of my latest research titled "An Investigation on the Lighting in Jordanian Hospitals, Focusing on Daylight and the Preferences of the Staff" in the Malaysian Journal of Public Health Medicine. This study explores the profound impact of natural daylight on the well-being of both hospital staff and patients. Our findings highlight that access to natural light significantly enhances comfort, reduces stress, and improves overall health outcomes. For hospital staff, natural light contributes to increased job satisfaction and work efficiency, while patients benefit from shorter recovery times and improved health conditions. Key takeaways: ✅ Natural light enhances mood and reduces stress for staff and patients. ✅ Well-lit environments lead to better health outcomes and faster patient recovery. ✅ Effective daylighting strategies are crucial in hospital design to foster healing and operational efficiency. This research underscores the importance of incorporating natural light into hospital construction and renovation projects, advocating for windows, skylights, and reflective surfaces to create therapeutic environments. I extend my gratitude to my co-authors, Marzuki Ibrahim and Fatema Yousef Kassawneh, and the institutions involved for their invaluable support.
