About the special issue
Infectious diseases treatment challenges across low and low middle income countries: a health economics perspective
Our Guest Advisors Professor Mihajlo (Michael) Jakovljevic and Professor Chigozie Jesse Uneke invite you to contribute to our special focus issue on ‘Infectious diseases treatment challenges across low and low middle-income countries: a health economics perspective’.
Prior to advanced stage industrial revolutions and massive scale urbanization, most countries had similar morbidity. Burden of disease was heavily dominated by early childhood infectious diseases, maternal pregnancy, and delivery related issues. The rise of industrial and post-industrial societies and the transformation to a knowledge-based economy have led to sedentary lifestyle and more unhealthy diets – overall leading to expansion of non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs). LMIC countries now dominate the share of NCD global burden, meaning they face a double burden of infectious disease challenges alongside newly acquired NCDs. This is challenging as most LMIC countries have significantly lower affordability of essential medicines, surgery, or preventive medical care services compared to high-income countries – these issues become much worse in remote and rural communities of LMICs across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The vulnerabilities of health systems in LMIC countries against infectious diseases prevention, diagnosis, and therapy are the goal of this Special Issue.
The issue will cover challenges of neglected tropical diseases and hospital acquired infections in low resource areas, bottleneck inefficacies of inner health resource allocation strategies during recent pandemics, and vulnerabilities of LMICs health system against infectious diseases prevention, diagnosis, and therapy. We welcome review articles, original research, perspectives, interviews, drug profiles, and short editorials that address health economics and policy challenges across infectious diseases.
If you are interested in contributing or would like to learn more, then please reach out to the Commissioning Editor, Felicity Poole, who will be happy to assist.
