Quality of life (QoL) is essential for maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle, especially among individuals with chronic diseases. Saudi Arabia (SA) launched a health sector transformation program as part of the nationwide Vision 2030 initiative to ensure the sustainable development of efficient healthcare services, aiming to improve health by increasing well-being and QoL. More investigation into the current status of health rehabilitation services provided to individuals with chronic diseases and future needs to optimize services and improve QoL is needed. This was narratively discussed by experts from different health rehabilitation services in SA. Comprehensive health rehabilitation services including orthopedic, occupational, cardiac, pulmonary, critical care, perioperative, hearing and speech, substance use disorders, and vocational rehabilitation services were addressed. Health rehabilitation services in SA, as in other countries, are suboptimal for individuals in health rehabilitation programs. To optimize the QoL of individuals with chronic diseases, health rehabilitation services should be tailored based on the unique requirements of each service and its serving patients. The shared need to improve health rehabilitation services includes the adoption of home-based and telehealth services, the integration of multi-governmental sectors, the empowerment and allocation of health rehabilitation specialists, public awareness campaigns, policy legislation and guideline development, and the implementation of a long-term follow-up system. This review is one of the first to address the intersection of health rehabilitation services and QoL in SA; urgent and holistic actions are paramount to address the pressing need to optimize SA's health rehabilitation services. The experts' recommendations in this study may be applicable to other countries' health systems, as health rehabilitation services are not well optimized globally.

Vitamin D is a very important component of all vital functions in the human body. Its deficiency is a major public health issue worldwide and is associated with a broad spectrum of diseases. This study assessed knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding vitamin D deficiency among the general population in the Al-Qunfudhah governorate, Saudi Arabia.An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out among the population in Al-Qunfudhah governorate, Saudi Arabia. A self-administrated online questionnaire was utilized to collect the research data during a period of four months from November 2021 to February 2022.A sample of 466 participants was recruited in this study, about two-thirds of them were females (64.4%) and had a university education (67.8%). Despite 91% of them having previously heard about vitamin D, only (17.4%) were able to recognize sunlight exposure as a main source of vitamin D. Poor knowledge and positive attitude regarding vitamin D were obviously seen among 72.3% and 95.7%. Although 89% of the participants' family members had been diagnosed with hypovitaminosis D. Only 45% of the sample were willing to be compliant with vitamin D supplement whenever it is needed. The most reported source of information regarding vitamin D among the respondents was mass media (62.2%). The associated variables of good knowledge were female gender (P 0.001), young (P 0.001), unmarried (P 0.006), highly educated (P 0.048), and receiving medical information from physicians (P 0.018). Conclusion: This study reveals the poor level of knowledge about vitamin D deficiency among the Al-Qunfudhah population, and this negatively affected their compliance for vitamin D supplementation when having hypovitaminosis D. Positive attitude toward vitamin D deficiency among the majority of the participants was obvious and may direct them to change their behavior toward vitamin D. Therefore, this study highlights the necessity of educating and sensitizing population about vitamin D and prevention of its deficiency.

It all started in December 2019, a seafood market in Wuhan, China, with a series of pneumonia alike cases admitted with severe acute respiratory depression. Since they were unable to detect the precise cause, they named it "Pneumonia of unknown etiology". Later it was identified as SARS COV 2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome – coronavirus 2). At first, the disease spread locally affecting the people of Wuhan, and then started spreading throughout China, creating a worldwide panic. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 in China as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from China and local healthcare units organized an intensive outbreak investigation program. The causative organism of this infection is a new virus that belongs to the “coronavirus (CoV)” family. After which the disease was called nCoV-19 (Novel coronavirus – 19). On February 11, 2020, the WHO Director General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, renamed the disease as "COVID-19," which is the acronym of "coronavirus disease 2019". Viral epidemics like SARS-CoV in 2002, H1N1 influenza in 2009, and the most recent one the MERS-CoV Middle East Respiratory Distress Syndrome Coronavirus (first identified in Saudi Arabia) in 2012 threatened the health of mankind in the past two decades. All of these were successfully prevented by systematically approaching the problem to solve it. Healthcare professionals around the world are well trained to manage any type of health crisis. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 as a "PANDEMIC" pointing to over 118,000 cases and 80,000 dead in 110 countries or more. In a media briefing, the WHO Director General said: "This is not just a public health crisis, it is a crisis that will touch every sector, so every sector and every individual must be involved in the fight."

Introduction Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) is a viral respiratory infection caused by the MERS-CoV. MERS was first reported in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2012. Every year, the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca attracts more than two million pilgrims from 184 countries, making it one of the largest annual religious mass gatherings (MGs) worldwide. MGs in confined areas with a high number of pilgrims’ movements worldwide continues to elicit significant global public health concerns. MERCURIAL was designed by adopting a seroconversion surveillance approach to provide multiyear evidence of MG-associated MERS-CoV seroconversion among the Malaysian Hajj pilgrims. Methods and analysis MERCURIAL is an ongoing multiyear prospective cohort study. Every year, for the next 5 years, a cohort of 1000 Hajj pilgrims was enrolled beginning in the 2016 Hajj pilgrimage season. Pre-Hajj and post-Hajj serum samples were obtained and serologically analysed for evidence of MERS-CoV seroconversion. Sociodemographic data, underlying medical conditions, symptoms experienced during Hajj pilgrimage, and exposure to camel and untreated camel products were recorded using structured pre-Hajj and post-Hajj questionnaires. The possible risk factors associated with the seroconversion data were analysed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The primary outcome of this study is to better enhance our understanding of the potential threat of MERS-CoV spreading through MG beyond the Middle East. Ethics and dissemination This study has obtained ethical approval from the Medical Research and Ethics Committee (MREC), Ministry of Health Malaysia. Results from the study will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals and presented in conferences and scientific meetings. Trial registration number NMRR-15-1640-25391.

Background: Mass gatherings are worldwide events, and the Hajj season is considered one of the significant mass gathering events that happen annually in Makkah city, Saudi Arabia. Medical preparation such as preparation for transportation, training, and medical staffing for mass gatherings at existing sites has been discussed. Aims: This study aimed to assess the role of emergency medical services (EMS) providers during Hajj Season 2019 and the preparedness of the EMS system through providers' perspectives. Settings and Design: A cross-sectional survey using a questionnaire has been conducted in Makkah during the Hajj season 2019, which took place in Mena valley and Arafat. Methods: Convenience sampling from two major institutions (the Saudi Red Crescent and the National Guards Hospital, EMS Department) was used. The inclusion criteria included emergency medical specialists and emergency medical technicians. Statistical Analysis Used: The data were analyzed using JMP. Data for continuous variables were presented as mean and standard deviation if normally distributed, otherwise median and interquartile range were used. Data for the categorical variables were presented as frequencies and percentages. Results: The majority of EMS providers were male in gender and almost half of them were emergency medical technicians with a diploma qualification. Most of them had specific training before Hajj such as basic life support. However, the majority reported the use of medications during transport and training are areas that require improvement. During Hajj, the majority of the EMS providers do ambulance decontamination. Busy shifts and lack of workforce were the main reasons for working more than 12 h per shift. Conclusions: This study offers important recommendations for improving the EMS system's preparedness during Hajj, which include more workforce coverage as well as improved providers' qualifications and level of training. Furthermore, this study provides a recommendation to change the scope of practice to treat and release in the majority of cases rather than unnecessarily transport to the hospital. This study urges the importance of collaboration between agencies to facilitate the EMS system.

Background: Saudi Arabia has the highest prevalence of resistant pathogens in the Gulf Region, with a rapid increase in antibiotic resistance seen in recent years. Misuse is common despite laws prohibiting dispensing antibiotics without prescription. This study was conducted to determine the association between awareness of antibiotic resistance and antibiotic misuse among Saudi university students. Specifically, it aimed to determine the proportion of university students who were aware of antibiotic resistance, the proportion of university students who were aware that antibiotic resistance is a public health problem, the prevalence of antibiotic misuse among university students, and the association between awareness and antibiotic misuse. Methods: The study utilized an analytic cross-sectional design. By using a self-administrated survey, responses on awareness of antibiotic resistance as well as antibiotic use among bachelor students were obtained. Two-stage stratified cluster sampling was conducted to select the required 825 participants. Epi Info ® version 7 was used to estimate the proportion of students who were aware of antibiotic resistance as well as the proportion of students who misused antibiotics. Logistic regression was used to determine the association between awareness of antibiotic resistance and antibiotic use. Results: Over 75% of university students were aware of antibiotic resistance (95% CI: 72.09% - 77.98%), while 54.67% (95% CI: 51.26% - 58.03%) were aware that antibiotic resistance is a public health problem. Nearly 67% misused antibiotics (95% CI: 63.63% - 70.04%) with failure to follow the prescribed number of days of antibiotic therapy and using leftover antibiotics as the most common forms of misuse. Students who were aware of antibiotic resistance were 27.96% less likely to misuse antibiotics (OR = 0.7204, p = 0.0642). Those who were aware that antibiotic resistance is a public health problem were 51.32% less likely to misuse antibiotics (OR = 0.4868, p < 0.0001). Conclusion: Awareness of antibiotic resistance is associated with lower antibiotic misuse. Education campaigns on the consequences of inappropriate antibiotic use and the development of antibiotic resistance should be intensified.

Background: Diabetes mellitus prevalence continues to rise globally, causing disability and decreased productivity among patients, a significant strain on healthcare systems, and a burden on national economies. In 2021, diabetes will affect approximately 537 million adults. The rising prevalence of prediabetes worldwide also poses a significant public health threat, as it is estimated that by 2030, more than 470 million individuals will be prediabetic. Objective: This study aimed to determine the association between the risk of prediabetes and the level of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) prevention among faculty members and administrative staff of a Saudi university. Methods: An analytic cross-sectional study design was utilized. The prediabetes risk of respondents was assessed using a risk test developed by the CDC, while the participants’ diabetes prevention practices were determined using a researcher-developed questionnaire. Data were collected from 360 selected faculty members and administrative staff of three randomly selected health colleges and three non-health colleges at King Faisal University, Hofuf, Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia, between September 25 and October 13, 2022. The collected data were subjected to estimation of proportion and logistic regression analyses using Epi InfoTM version 7. Results: Nearly 40% of respondents (39.72%, 95% CI: 34.80, 44.86) were found to be at high risk for prediabetes. The majority of university faculty and administrative staff consistently practiced T2DM preventive measures related to the limitation of processed food consumption, smoking cessation, and regular checking of weight and the nutritional value of food. However, there was poor T2DM prevention practice in terms of exercise, consumption of sweetened beverages, and stress reduction. Those who had a high prediabetes risk were 1.17 times more likely to engage in T2DM prevention practices. However, they were found to be 19% less likely to perform T2DM prevention practices when sociodemographic variables were held constant. Conclusion: Prediabetes risk was prevalent among Saudi university faculty and administrative staff. T2DM prevention was not consistently practiced by those who had a high risk for prediabetes. High prediabetes risk was negatively associated with the level of T2DM prevention.

Abstract Background Group therapy assists individuals in learning many behavioral techniques for smoking cessation and providing each other with mutual support. Group behavior therapy is not routinely provided as a modality of tobacco cessation assistance in tobacco cessation clinics in Saudi Arabia despite it is effectiveness. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and beliefs toward group behavior therapy programs among male adults who attend smoking cessation clinics and to identify the associated factors. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with a targeted sample of 229 males aged 18 and above who were attending smoking cessation clinics. The participants were randomly selected. Data were collected using a paper-based questionnaire. One-way ANOVA and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results Results showed a high percentage of the study participants were in the age group of 21–40 years. Most of them were consuming 10–20 cigarettes per day. Around 79% of the participants had previous attempted to quit smoking. This study demonstrated a deficit in knowledge about group behavior therapy. The mean score for attitude and beliefs was 5.3 out of 11. Multiple factors influenced their attitudes and beliefs, such as previous attempts to quit smoking ( p -value < 0.05) and the number of cigarettes used per day ( p -value = 0.03). The knowledge was found to be affected by the level of education ( p -value = 0.04). Conclusion The study demonstrates a deficit in knowledge about group behavior therapy and it shows that the level of education was associated with the knowledge. Additionally, previous attempts to quit smoking and the number of cigarettes used per day, influenced the participants’ attitude and beliefs toward group behavioral therapy. Increase awareness about the role of group behavior therapy in smoking cessation is required before this method is implemented in the routine practice.

EditorialA New Era of Infections Khalid F. TabbaraMD Khalid F. Tabbara Search for more papers by this author Published Online:1 Sep 1994https://doi.org/10.5144/0256-4947.1994.365SectionsPDF ToolsAdd to favoritesDownload citationTrack citations ShareShare onFacebookTwitterLinked InRedditEmail AboutIntroductionIn this issue, three articles focus on infectious diseases: the first concerns a bacterial infection;1 the second discusses a parasitic disease;2 and a viral infection is the subject of the third.3 These three papers emphasize the persistence of certain classic infectious agents that lead to significant morbidity. Nonetheless, there has been a dramatic decrease in the incidence of classic infectious diseases since the beginning of this century, a development that can be largely attributed to public health measures and mass vaccination. Vaccination, for its part, has led to the eradication of smallpox and mumps, rubella, pertussis and diphtheria.The availability of potable water, the introduction of safe sewage disposal facilities and improved housing conditions have together made a major impact on diseases transmitted by food and water such as cholera, plague, tuberculosis, typhus, typhoid, leishmaniasis, and malaria.As the 20th century draws to a close, however, infectious diseases continue to cause serious morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in the field of medicine, some of these classic infections persist in certain developing countries.Control of vectors has decreased the incidence of malaria, schistosomiasis and leishmaniasis, but vaccines have not been developed for many pathogens, and public health measures have not been successful in controlling sexually transmitted diseases. Unconquered infections include tuberculosis, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and AIDS. Control of infectious disease is not just a medical problem, however. Control measures often fail, not because of deficiencies in scientific knowledge or public health awareness, but because political turmoil causes the collapse of the economic policies that underpin them. But there is another, modern twist to infection control: the resilience of viruses and the tenacity of bacteria have led to the emergence of new infections and the evolution of old ones. Emerging infections pose a serious threat to humans. There is trouble ahead, with new viruses on our doorsteps. HIV is but one. Previously unknown viruses are coming out of the equatorial wilderness and discovering the human race. The tropical rain forest is by far the earth's largest reservoir of both plant and animal species and, since all animals carry viruses, it is also the largest reservoir of viruses. No one knows how many fatal viruses are to be found in the rain forests.When an ecological system suffers degradation and destruction, many species die out and survivors undergo a population explosion. Selective pressure may be at work in the wild unchecked viruses that can adapt, react to change, mutate, and jump species. Some new and serious viruses for which there is no cure include Lassa fever, Rift Valley virus, Hunta virus, Junin virus, Machuppo virus, Guanarito virus, and tick-borne encephalitis. By way of example, the Marburg virus first appeared in Marburg, Germany where a laboratory imported a shipment of African green monkeys whose kidney cells are used in vaccine production. The technician who was handling the monkeys contracted a virus from them and died within one week; seven out of 31 lab workers who acquired the disease also died.Most of the new viruses are transmitted to man from animals. Destruction of the rain forests is exposing mankind not only to ecological disaster but also to new viruses. We can be confident that new diseases will emerge. Air travel has broken the geographic barriers to infection. A virus can jump from the jungles of Africa to the urban communities of Europe in less than 12 hours. We need a worldwide surveillance system and the capacity to develop new genetically engineered vaccines so that we can confront what is as yet unknown - but inevitable.Recent technological developments have made it possible to introduce recombinant DNA into mycobacteria such as BCG, the tuberculosis vaccine. Now that it is feasible to introduce foreign genes, it is possible to envisage the development of recombinant multiple vaccine vehicles in the near future.We cannot rest on the laurels we won for overcoming the classic infections: it is vital that we prepare for battle against the emerging infectious diseases.ARTICLE REFERENCES:1.

In 2017, 29 countries received UN humanitarian assistance, with coverage reaching 93 million people.1UNGlobal humanitarian overview 2017. Office of the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).http://www.unocha.org/sites/unocha/files/dms/GHO-JuneStatusReport2017-EN.pdfDate: June, 2017Date accessed: October 15, 2017Google Scholar In 2014–15, three west African countries experienced Ebola-virus-related emergencies that adversely affected health systems.2Elston JW Moosa AJ Moses F et al.Impact of the Ebola outbreak on health systems and population health in Sierra Leone.J Public Health. 2016; 38: 673-678Google Scholar Man-made and natural emergencies lead to weakening or cessation of disease control efforts and surveillance systems, allowing outbreaks of infectious diseases to go undetected before reaching epidemic thresholds.3Gayer M Legros D Formenty P Connolly MA Conflict and emerging infectious diseases.Emerg Infect Dis. 2007; 13: 1625Crossref PubMed Scopus (128) Google Scholar Ample historical evidence suggests an ecological association between conflicts and diseases; examples include the Roman civil war in 165–189 (the Antonine plague), the Crimean war in 1854–55 (cholera), and World War 2 in 1939–45 (diphtheria).4Short A War and disease. War epidemics in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.ADF Health. 1949; 11: 15-18Google Scholar The consequences of ongoing conflicts and recent emergencies transcend nations and affect public health in all countries. With international travel, diseases with short incubation periods and high infectiousness, such as measles,5WHODisease outbreak news.https://www.promedmail.org/post/20170325.4925882Date: March 25, 2017Date accessed: October 19, 2017Google Scholar have the potential to find a niche in marginalised populations worldwide. The emergence of measles in 14 European countries in 2017, and more recently in Venezuela, underscores the fact that although conflict-related disruptions might be unique to developing countries, they create infectious reservoirs that pose a risk to stable and developed health systems. Yemen's cholera outbreak persists amidst the ongoing conflict. Outbreaks of cholera, Ebola, and yellow fever happened in The Democratic Republic of the Congo amidst a long conflict. The post-earthquake epidemic of south Asian cholera in Haiti in 2010–12, which was transmitted by Nepalese UN peacekeepers,6Frerichs RR Keim PS Barrais R Piarroux R Nepalese origin of cholera epidemic in Haiti.Clin Microbiol Infect. 2012; 18: E158-E163Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (88) Google Scholar is perhaps the most recent reminder that despite advances in all aspects of disease surveillance and prevention services, disease will continue to spread via unsuspected routes of transmission. Several aspects of conflicts and emergencies are of concern during mass gatherings. First, the UN has recorded more conflicts in the Middle Eastern and African regions than in other regions. These regions also constitute the largest group of countries participating in the Hajj, with a population that amounts to more than 90% of all international pilgrims (table). In 2018, 12 million pilgrims are expected to visit Saudi Arabia for both Hajj and Umrah.7Al-Tawfiq JA Memish ZA Mass gathering medicine: 2014 Hajj and Umra preparation as a leading example.Int J Infect Dis. 2014; 27: 26-31Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (57) Google Scholar Second, because of the substantial interconnectedness of the affected regions through international air travel, migration, and trade, even countries that do not have conflicts become transit points for potential disease transmission. Third, nearly half of all deaths from infectious diseases affect people in the African region (16 of the 29 countries in humanitarian crisis are home to 93% of pilgrims), making this region a very vulnerable hotspot for emerging diseases. The Asia and Pacific regions (with two of 29 countries in humanitarian crisis) are affected by drug-resistant tuberculosis, cholera, malaria, and emerging strains of avian influenza.7Al-Tawfiq JA Memish ZA Mass gathering medicine: 2014 Hajj and Umra preparation as a leading example.Int J Infect Dis. 2014; 27: 26-31Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (57) Google Scholar, 8Yezli S Zumla A Yassin Y et al.Undiagnosed active pulmonary tuberculosis among pilgrims during the 2015 Hajj mass gathering: a prospective cross-sectional study.Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2017; 97: 1304-1309Crossref PubMed Scopus (12) Google Scholar, 9Al-Tawfiq JA Memish ZA Mass gatherings and infectious diseases: prevention, detection, and control.Infect Dis Clin North Am. 2012; 26: 725-737Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (36) Google Scholar Finally, from anecdotal evidence of the spread of 1957 influenza to national and international meningococcal meningitis outbreaks and polio during the Hajj, mass gatherings have been linked to infectious disease transmission due to factors such as overcrowding, high numbers of viral influenza-like illness, and the gathering of millions of people in a small geographical area.7Al-Tawfiq JA Memish ZA Mass gathering medicine: 2014 Hajj and Umra preparation as a leading example.Int J Infect Dis. 2014; 27: 26-31Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (57) Google Scholar, 8Yezli S Zumla A Yassin Y et al.Undiagnosed active pulmonary tuberculosis among pilgrims during the 2015 Hajj mass gathering: a prospective cross-sectional study.Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2017; 97: 1304-1309Crossref PubMed Scopus (12) Google Scholar, 9Al-Tawfiq JA Memish ZA Mass gatherings and infectious diseases: prevention, detection, and control.Infect Dis Clin North Am. 2012; 26: 725-737Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (36) Google ScholarTableHajj mass gathering pilgrims from countries needing UN humanitarian assistance in 2017PilgrimsTotal number of pilgrims from abroad1 374 110Asia2%Afghanistan24 243Myanmar3299Middle East4%Iraq28 001Yemen20 201Syria1724Palestine894Africa93%Nigeria72 498Sudan24 470Niger22 072Senegal9109Somalia7342Mali7311Chad7056Libya5067Burkina Faso4807Cameroon3607Mauritania3477Gambia1388Djibouti902Burundi92Zimbabwe69Central Africa1Haiti4Ukraine2Data are % or n.

In view of the disruption of public health systems in conflicted regions and countries, mass gathering events are an opportunity for one-stop sentinel surveillance and public health interventions with rapid tests, storage infrastructure for biological specimens for future investigation, and assessment of measures to stop transmission.10Elachola H Gozzer E Zhuo J et al.Mass gatherings: a one-stop opportunity to complement global disease surveillance.J Health Spec. 2016; 4: 178Crossref Google Scholar This opportunity for multicountry surveillance programmes in a single venue and within a specific timeframe is of particular interest to regions and countries in conflict and to international partners. The 2009 pH1N1 pandemic and the Hajj showed the potential of mass gatherings for disease surveillance and assessment of control measures.11Memish ZA Ebrahim SH Ahmed QA Deming M Assiri A Pandemic H1N1 influenza at the 2009 Hajj: understanding the unexpectedly low H1N1 burden.J R Soc Med. 2010; 103: 386Crossref PubMed Scopus (13) Google Scholar No single intervention can address all aspects of disease transmission during mass gatherings amidst ongoing conflicts, but a combination of efforts by host and home countries of visitors and pilgrims can help prepare for outbreaks. Available tools include education and awareness-generating programmes provided before departure and during travel to mass gatherings as well as during predeparture health visits, mandatory travel vaccinations, visa restrictions (as appropriate), arrival and departure health checks at points of entry or departure, prophylaxis for known diseases (such as for polio provided at Jeddah airport during the Hajj for pilgrims arriving from countries with ongoing transmission, and temperature and symptom screening for Ebola virus during outbreaks), surveillance using live electronic reporting, and easily accessible care and prevention activities at venues of mass gathering.7Al-Tawfiq JA Memish ZA Mass gathering medicine: 2014 Hajj and Umra preparation as a leading example.Int J Infect Dis. 2014; 27: 26-31Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (57) Google Scholar, 10Elachola H Gozzer E Zhuo J et al.Mass gatherings: a one-stop opportunity to complement global disease surveillance.J Health Spec. 2016; 4: 178Crossref Google Scholar, 11Memish ZA Ebrahim SH Ahmed QA Deming M Assiri A Pandemic H1N1 influenza at the 2009 Hajj: understanding the unexpectedly low H1N1 burden.J R Soc Med. 2010; 103: 386Crossref PubMed Scopus (13) Google Scholar Support and coordination with some international entities, including WHO, the International Air Transport Association, and transportation companies, will help improve results with these measures. Adequate financing might not be available from one country alone, and collective contribution would be necessary.12Yamey G Schäferhoff M Aars OK et al.Financing of international collective action for epidemic and pandemic preparedness.Lancet Glob Health. 2017; 5: e742-e744Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (15) Google Scholar No single entity can fully be responsible for the implementation of these measures, and collaboration and coordination are key to success.

Recently Natural Language Processing (NLP) constituted an important area of computational linguistics and artificial intelligence, where the virtual and digital world has become an essential aspect of our daily lives. Sentiment analysis and data mining are sub-fields of NLP, which draw the attention of researchers to search and mine various issues on social media. This study explores the public's sentiments and opinions towards the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination doses in Saudi Arabia. It tries to provide insights on the motivations and barriers in taking the first and second vaccine doses and how the public's awareness and attitudes differ in the two doses. The research objects are 6.232 public tweets and comments that have been harvested from official social media platforms (Twitter and YouTube) between December 19, 2020, and December 10, 2021. The sentiment analysis measured polarity using the NLTK VADER analyzer, and the opinions were identified and classified based on the multidimensional scaling method. The results show that in the case of the first vaccine dose of the 2989 opinions enrolled, 61.5% of the public were willing to take the COVID-19 vaccination—the majority trust the vaccine safety and the Ministry of Health measures and decisions. While 21.1% show negative attitudes towards the vaccination, most of them untrust the vaccine and are worried about its syndromes. In the case of the second vaccine dose of the 3,243 opinions enrolled, 63.2% also show positive attitudes towards taking the vaccine. Trusting the vaccine safety and not being prevented from work, travel, and other activities are the primary motivations to receive the vaccine in this phase. While negative sentiments scored 30.3%, the most frequent determinant is the suspicion of the vaccine safety, symptoms, and decision discrepancies. Identifying public sentiments and attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination would provide a better understanding of the reasons behind vaccine rejection or acceptance would help the health policymakers better develop and implement vaccine awareness strategies and appropriate communication to enhance vaccine taking.

Background Establishing evidence-based medicine (EBM) is important for pharmaceutical care services to be effective and for adding value to patient care. Increasing examples are illustrating that health professionals hold positive attitudes toward EBM. Nevertheless, their knowledge and skills are relatively insufficient. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of research educational intervention on knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, and pharmacy practices towards evidence-based medicine among junior pharmacists. Methods A one group pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental design was conducted on postgraduate junior pharmacy staff working or training at one of the three randomly selected tertiary care settings in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This study consisted of two phases. During the first phase, a structured questionnaire assessing the knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes of the participants regarding EBM, as well as basic biostatistics, epidemiology and the utilization of EBM, was administered. The second phase was scheduled to begin four weeks after the distribution of the educational materials, whereby the same questionnaire was redistributed among the same participants. Results Sixty-seven pharmacists participated in this study. The overall percentage mean score of correct responses of the study participants' knowledge was 37.0% in the pre-test compared to 44.4% in the post-test. The percentage mean score of correct responses for biostatistics and epidemiology and study design sections significantly increased after the study intervention (p < 0.001), (p = 0.02), respectively. Regarding the study participants' attitudes towards EBM, only one item, "Willingness to support the promotion of EBM implementation," was statistically significantly higher in the post-test (61, 93.8%) participants compared to participants (53, 80.3%) in the pre-test, while "Possessing sufficient skills to implement EBM principles" was the only statistically significant item for the study participants' perceptions towards EBM in the pre-test compared to the post-test, (82.1%, 92.4%), respectively. Moreover, our results showed that 74.6% of the respondents were practicing EBM before the study intervention versus 81.5% after the intervention. Conclusion The results of this study reveal that comprehensive educational intervention might improve the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of EBM among pharmacists and encourage them to incorporate this into their everyday clinical practice.

Background In order to avoid high rates of COVID-19 infection, one of the main tasks that must be performed is to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) about the virus. In this sense, Health Education is an essential tool for dealing with the virus. The aim of health education is to educate individuals through educational, motivational, skill development, and awareness techniques, and an understanding of the main needs of KAP is essential for this. Many KAP studies were published during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the aim of the present study was to analyze these publications through a bibliometric study. Methods A bibliometric analysis of the publications on KAP and COVID-19 was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection database. The RStudio Bibliometrix and VOSviewer packages were utilized to analyze the scientific production, authors, citations, countries, publishers, journals, research areas, and keywords. Results Of the 1,129 articles published, 777 were included in the study. The year with the most publications and citations was 2021. Three authors were underlined (all from Ethiopia), due to the number of articles published, the number of citations, and the collaboration networks established. As for the countries, most of the publications came from Saudi Arabia, while China obtained the most citations. PLOS One and Frontiers in Public Health published the most articles on the subject. The most frequent keywords were knowledge, attitudes, practices, and COVID-19. At the same time, others were identified based on the population group analyzed. Conclusion This is the first bibliometric study on KAP and COVID-19. The significant number of publications identified on KAP and its relationship to the COVID-19 pandemic, in the span of only 3 years, indicates the increased interest in this area. The study provides relevant information to researchers who are approaching this subject for the first time. It is a useful tool that can stimulate new studies and collaborations between researchers from different countries, areas and approaches. At the methodological level, a step-by-step guide is provided for future authors who wish to perform a bibliometric analysis.

<b>Background/aims</b> Hand hygiene is recognized globally as a leading measure to reduce healthcare-associated infection. However, compliance with hand hygiene is unacceptably low. Physicians − in particular − have repeatedly been observed to be poor compliers. Promotion of this important practice is a complex issue. It is important to study the behavioral determinants in relation to hand hygiene practices to develop effective improvement strategies. The aims of our study are to assess the knowledge of the physician and their attitudes and practices of hand hygiene, to identify the behavioral determinants of noncompliance, and to recommend interventions that could increase the practice.<br><b>Participants and methods</b> An anonymous questionnaire was administered that included four sections: participants’ demographic data, self-reported compliance on the basis of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Guidelines, attitudes in relation to the studied behavior adapted from a validated published questionnaire, and the knowledge assessment section chosen from the WHO questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed by infection control practitioners at King Saud Medical City − a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia − and self-completed by 127 physicians of different specialties during March–May 2015.<br><b>Results</b> The response rate was 75%. The mean self-reported compliance rate was 89.4%. A multiple linear regression analysis was carried out on the studied variables that identified three main predictors most likely to be correlated with hand hygiene behavior noncompliance: self-efficacy (<i>β</i>=0.252; <i>P</i>=0.004), time-related attitude (<i>β</i>=0.16), and usefulness-related attitude (<i>β</i>=0.148).<br><b>Conclusion</b> Understanding the determinants of a fundamental behavior such as hand hygiene in healthcare settings is among the essential steps to plan more effectual intervention strategies for compliance improvement. Contributions from behavioral and social sciences are crucial when designing studies to investigate and improve behavior acquiescence. The healthcare system is complex and more studies are needed to elaborate specific behavioral determinants in relation to the practice of hand hygiene in other variable work situations and among different healthcare workers categories and employee belong to different culture group.<br>

The first and second cases of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection in the USA were reported by the Indiana State Department of Health and the Florida Department of Health on May 1 and May 11, respectively, to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These two cases, like all previous cases reported worldwide, have a Middle Eastern connection. Person-to-person transmission of MERS-CoV has not been sustained, but the number of cases reported to WHO has been increasing. However, according to the WHO Statement on the Fifth Meeting of the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee released on May 14, the conditions have not yet been met for a MERS-CoV public health emergency of international concern. More than 600 laboratory-confirmed cases have been reported to WHO so far. Alarmingly, Simon Cauchemez and colleagues reported that at least 62% of asymptomatic cases had not been detected up to Aug 8, 2013. Although severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus and MERS-CoV have different infection sources, some of the lessons learnt from SARS since 2003 are relevant for the prevention of MERS-CoV transmission. All confirmed and probable cases of MERS-CoV infection should be notified to WHO. Health-care personnel should be taught or given refreshers on infection control practices to safeguard against nosocomial transmission. In a Comment, Alimuddin Zumla and David Hui stress the importance of basic measures for infection control for curbing the increase in nosocomial infections. Since the first case of MERS-CoV was reported in Saudi Arabia in September, 2012, much remains to be learnt about the virus. In 2013, Abdullah Assiri and colleagues pointed out major gaps in knowledge about the epidemiology, community prevalence, and clinical range of MERS-CoV. Questions that still need to be addressed include what are the optimum measures for infection control, what is the potential for person-to-person transmission, and what is the complete range of expression of disease? International collaboration is imperative to address the gaps in knowledge and apply the lessons learnt from past outbreaks to existing and emerging infectious diseases. MERS-CoV enigma deepens as reported cases surgeExperts are puzzled by an explosion of new cases of MERS-CoV, as a WHO committee raises concerns over the handling of the outbreak. David Holmes reports. Full-Text PDF

Abstract Background Children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) need carefully monitoring even during school hours to avoid emergencies. Hence, it is crucial for teachers to have appropriate knowledge and positive attitudes toward diabetes to effectively manage the disease and its complications. This study aimed to compare the knowledge, attitudes, and practices with respect to T1DM among Saudi male and female public-school teachers living in Jeddah and to identify the associated factors. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among primary, intermediate, and secondary public-school teachers working in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between October 2021 and March 2022. Data were collected through an online survey. The survey included information on the socio-demographics of school teachers, the presence of chronic diseases, teachers’ health behaviours, and knowledge, attitude, and practice with respect to T1DM. Results This study included 378 school teachers. The majority of school teachers from both genders were married, held a bachelor’s degree, and aged 45–54 years. Male school teachers were married ( P = 0.02), held postgraduate certificates ( P < 0.001), smoked cigarette and shisha ( P < 0.001), and were physically active ( P < 0.001) compared to female school teachers. Regarding teachers’ knowledge of T1DM, it was found that female teachers were significantly more knowledgeable of T1DM children’s and its symptoms than male teachers ( P = 0.03; P = 0.01, respectively). However, male teachers were more willing to accommodate T1DM students in their classes and attend programs to support T1DM students as compared to female teachers ( P = 0.004; P = 0.004, respectively). Moreover, the study showed poor practice scores for T1DM. In addition, the knowledge, attitudes, and practice scores toward T1DM were significantly associated with advanced age ( P = 0.002), and extended years of teaching experience ( P ≤ 0.002). Also, diabetic teachers had the highest knowledge ( P = 0.03) and attitude ( P = 0.02) scores compared to non-diabetic teachers. Male teachers who were married ( P = 0.002), shisha smokers ( P = 0.01), and had never practiced activity ( P = 0.03) had better attitudes and practices toward T1DM. Similarly, female teachers who held bachelor’s certificates had better attitudes toward T1DM ( P = 0.02). Conclusion The present study revealed moderate knowledge, favorable attitudes, and poor practices related to T1DM among school teachers in Jeddah. It is crucial for policymakers to provide school teachers with training for necessary diabetes care for diabetic students.

February 2014 witnessed two remarkable public health events' start on Earth: The first case of Ebola outbreak in West Africa was confirmed. A total number of suspected and confirmed cases in the Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever (EHF) outbreak had increased to 28,637 cases, including 15,249 laboratory-confirmed cases and 11,324 deaths in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria, Mali, Senegal, Spain, and the United States as of November 29, 2015 1, 2.
Another unexpected epidemic, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) outbreak surprised the world hitting the Republic of Korea (ROK) late in May 2015. This produced 186 confirmed cases including one case exported to China and 37 deaths [3]. This hospital-based outbreak has brought a hug impact on the general public and economy of ROK, which has one of the most advanced medical and public health systems in the world.
From the unprecedented outbreaks in West Africa and Korea showed that health could directly apply to national security and the necessity for immediate action to establish global capacity to prevent, detect and rapidly respond to biological threats like Ebola and MERS. The Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) was launched on February 13, 2014 to secure the world from infectious disease threats and unite nations to make new, concrete commitments, and to elevate global health security as a national leaders-level priority [4]. The G7 endorsed the GHSA in June 2014; and Finland and Indonesia hosted commitment development meetings in May and August. Ministers and senior officials from 44 countries and leading international organizations gathered in the White House, Washington DC to make specific commitments to implement the GHSA and to work toward a commitment to assist West Africa with needed global health security capacity within 3 years.
Countries developed 11 Action Packages to support the GHSA. The Action Packages are designed to outline measurable steps required to prevent outbreaks, detect threats in real time, and rapidly respond to infectious disease threats whether naturally occurring, the result of laboratory accidents, or an act of bioterrorism. The Action Packages include specific targets and indicators that can be used as a basis to measure how national, regional, and global capacities are developed and maintained over the long-term. The United States has committed to assist at least 30 countries over five years to achieve the objectives of the GHSA and has placed a priority for actions on combating antibiotic resistant bacteria, to improve biosafety and biosecurity on a global basis, and preventing bioterrorism [5].
Ten countries have agreed to serve on the GHSA Steering Group, which has been chaired by Finland starting in 2015 and Indonesia will take the chairmanship in 2016, with representation from countries around the world, including: Canada, Chile, Finland, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Korea, and the United States. The Steering Group is charged with tracking progress, identifying challenges, and overseeing implementation for achieving the objectives of the GHSA in support of international standards set by the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and the World Organization for Animal Health. This includes the implementation of internationally agreed standards for core capacities, such as the World Health Organization International Health Regulations, the World Organization for Animal Health Performance of Veterinary Services Pathway, and other global health security frameworks. To provide accountability and drive progress toward GHSA goals, an independent, objective and transparent assessment process will be needed. Independent evaluation conducted over the five-year course of the GHSA will help highlight gaps and needed course corrections to ensure that the GHSA targets are reached.
In the current special issue of the Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives, articles on GHSA are included to celebrate the GHSA second high level meeting in Seoul, hold in Seoul, Korea in September 7 to 9, 2015.
It is true that until the development of vaccine, rapid detect, respond and control measures of emerging infectious diseases like EHF and MERS should be conducted on a global basis. GHSA could provide a bumper with the world until development of vaccine.

On May 29, 2020, President Donald Trump announced the USA would sever its relationship with WHO and redirect funds to US global health priorities.1McNeil Jr, DG Trump says US is leaving WHO, but experts aren't so sure.The New York Times. May 30, 2020; https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/29/health/virus-who.htmlDate accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar On July 6, 2020, the US administration officially notified UN Secretary-General António Guterres of its intention to withdraw from WHO membership.2Rauhala E Demirjian K Olorunnipa T Trump administration sends letter withdrawing US from World Health Organization over coronavirus response.The Washington Post. July 7, 2020; https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/trump-united-states-withdrawal-world-health-organization-coronavirus/2020/07/07/ae0a25e4-b550-11ea-9a1d-d3db1cbe07ce_story.htmlDate accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar This notification coincides with record daily increases in COVID-19 cases worldwide and rising infections in more than three-quarters of the US states.3The New York TimesCoronavirus in the US: latest map and case count.The New York Times. July 7, 2020; https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-cases.htmlDate accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar, 4WHOCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) situation reports.https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/situation-reports/Date: 2020Date accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar In response, 750 leaders from academia, science, and law have urged the US Congress to block the president's action.5Gostin LO Koh HH Kavanagh MM et al.Letter to Congress on WHO withdrawal public health, law and international relations leaders.https://oneill.law.georgetown.edu/letter-to-congress-on-who-withdrawal-from-public-health-law-and-international-relations-leaders/Date: June 30, 2020Date accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar The US Congress, the courts, and the public all have the power to block this reckless decision. The USA entered WHO membership through a 1948 joint resolution passed by both houses of Congress and this resolution has been supported by successive administrations. Former President Harry Truman explicitly referenced that resolution as his legal basis for joining WHO.6Koh HH Trump's empty “withdrawal” from the World Health Organization.Just Security. May 30, 2020; https://www.justsecurity.org/70493/trumps-empty-withdrawal-from-the-world-health-organization/Date accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar The current US administration's unilateral action notifying the UN that the USA is withdrawing violates US law because it does not have express approval of Congress to leave WHO. A Supreme Court precedent has made clear that “When the President takes measures incompatible with the expressed or implied will of Congress, his power is at its lowest ebb.”7Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579 (1952).Google Scholar The US administration's decision to sever ties and terminate WHO funding violates a binding condition in Congress's 1948 resolution, which must be met before the USA may withdraw. The law mandates the USA must pay its financial obligations for the current fiscal year. Because withdrawal could not occur until next July, the USA must pay its mandatory WHO contributions through the end of 2021. And because any withdrawal could not take effect until July, 2021, a new US presidential administration could simply revoke the withdrawal upon taking office. Withdrawal from WHO would have dire consequences for US security, diplomacy, and influence. WHO has unmatched global reach and legitimacy. The US administration would be hard pressed to disentangle the country from WHO governance and programmes. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is among six WHO regional offices and is headquartered in Washington, DC, USA. The USA is also a state party to two WHO treaties: the WHO Constitution, establishing it as the “directing and co-ordinating authority on international health”;8WHOConstitution of the World Health Organization.https://apps.who.int/gb/bd/PDF/bd47/EN/constitution-en.pdfDate: 1946Date accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar and the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005), the governing framework for epidemic preparedness and response.9WHOInternational Health Regulations.https://www.who.int/health-topics/international-health-regulations#tab=tab_1Date: 2020Date accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar Various US institutions collaborate with WHO on vital work that would be harmed if the relationship is severed. There are 21 WHO collaborating centres at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and three at the National Institutes of Health, focused on US priorities, including polio eradication, cancer prevention, and global health security.10WHOWHO collaborating centres global database.https://apps.who.int/whocc/ReportDetails.aspx?bkGL7M2F8I0hgDOcgIgPXfIKvz3GAvXGshErTaG7+mI=Date: 2020Date accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar The Secretariat of the 44 WHO Collaborating Centers for Nursing and Midwifery is based in the USA. This autumn, seasonal influenza and COVID-19 will pose a double burden on health system capacities.11Gostin LO Salmon DA The dual epidemics of COVID-19 and influenza: vaccine acceptance, coverage, and mandates.JAMA. 2020; (published online June 11.)https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2020.10802Crossref Scopus (93) Google Scholar The USA could be cut out of the global system to design annual influenza vaccines. The WHO Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System aggregates data from countries around the world to track and study circulating viruses.12WHOInto the history of influenza control: GISRS: backbone of global influenza surveillance.https://www.who.int/influenza/gip-anniversary/en/Date: May 18, 2017Date accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar US agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and laboratories also rely on the WHO Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework to gain access to new influenza virus samples for research and development. Severing ties with WHO could impede US access to crucial tools for developing biological countermeasures to influenza. A COVID-19 vaccine is urgently needed not only to safeguard public health but also to safely reopen society. WHO is conducting the Solidarity trial for COVID-19 treatments joined by more than 100 countries.13WHO“Solidarity” clinical trial for COVID-19 treatments.https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/global-research-on-novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov/solidarity-clinical-trial-for-covid-19-treatmentsDate: 2020Date accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar WHO also leads the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator for COVID-19 diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines.14WHOThe access to COVID-19 tools (ACT) accelerator.https://www.who.int/initiatives/act-acceleratorDate: 2020Date accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar If the USA does not participate in these WHO initiatives, Americans could have limited access to scarce vaccine supplies, and are likely to be barred from travel to foreign destinations. Experienced US personnel are often seconded to WHO or embedded in outbreak response teams. US scientists gained access to Wuhan, China, as part of a WHO COVID-19 mission to China.15WHOWHO timeline—COVID-19.https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/27-04-2020-who-timeline-covid-19Date: April 27, 2020Date accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar US global health strategies to rapidly respond to international disease outbreaks will be compromised without membership of WHO. Beyond COVID-19, WHO is tracking and responding to dozens of infectious disease outbreaks around the world, including yellow fever in Togo, Middle East respiratory syndrome in Saudi Arabia, and dengue fever in Brazil.16WHODisease outbreak news.https://www.who.int/csr/don/en/Date: 2020Date accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar, 17PAHOReported cases of dengue fever in the Americas.https://www.paho.org/data/index.php/en/mnu-topics/indicadores-dengue-en/dengue-nacional-en/252-dengue-pais-ano-en.htmlDate: 2020Date accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar On June 25, 2020, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) Government declared the end of the world's second longest outbreak of Ebola virus disease.18WHODisease outbreak news. Ebola virus disease—Democratic Republic of Congo.https://www.who.int/csr/don/26-June-2020-ebola-drc/en/Date: June 26, 2020Date accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar WHO deployed staff to a Congolese warzone, even when the White House banned CDC personnel from involvement in this effort.19Gostin LO Kavanagh MM Cameron E Ebola and war in the Democratic Republic of Congo: avoiding failure and thinking ahead.JAMA. 2019; 321: 243-244Crossref PubMed Scopus (15) Google Scholar The DRC Government reported a new unrelated outbreak of Ebola virus disease in June, 2020, in the country's northwest, and WHO surge teams have been deployed.20Global Outbreak and Response NetworkNew Ebola outbreak detected in northwest Democratic Republic of the Congo; WHO surge team supporting the response.https://extranet.who.int/goarn/content/new-ebola-outbreak-detected-northwest-democratic-republic-congo-who-surge-team-supporting-0Date: 2020Date accessed: July 7, 2020Google Scholar WHO's crucial role in curtailing infectious diseases extends beyond outbreaks to diseases. In 1980, the World Health Assembly declared smallpox eradicated, WHO's historic achievement. Today, WHO's key work in HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, and maternal mortality makes US foreign assistance effective. COVID-19 has revealed shortcomings in WHO's powers and funding, warranting substantial reforms. WHO has limited authority to ensure state compliance with the IHR, including constrained ability to independently verify official state reports. But after leaving WHO, the USA would be on the outside looking in, without global influence to promote crucial reforms. Stand-alone US programmes, moreover, could never substitute for a truly global agency. Absent treaty obligations, in a multipolar world, mean there are no guarantees that countries will cooperate with the USA. Health and security in the USA and globally require robust collaboration with WHO—a cornerstone of US funding and policy since 1948. The USA cannot cut ties with WHO without incurring major disruption and damage, making Americans far less safe. That is the last thing the global community needs as the world faces a historic health emergency. LOG is director of the WHO Collaborating Center on National and Global Health Law.

Abstract Background Injuries pose a significant burden on population health of Saudi Arabia. Even in nonfatal injuries, the burden varies from temporary to permanent disabilities. Health outcomes following injuries can vary, and predictors of recovery from disability are not well understood. In the Kingdom, family values and cohesion can differ from other countries due to several factors, including religious beliefs and cultural traditions. Learning about predictors of injury recovery can improve prevention as well as planning for rehabilitation programs. Therefore, the study aims to evaluate the association between family cohesion and recovery following blunt injuries. Methods This prospective study included 249 patients who were hospitalized for at least 1 day following blunt trauma in King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh. Adult patients were interviewed twice: initially during admission, and a second interview via the phone 3 months after discharge. Baseline information included: demographics, injury characteristics, the five dimensions EQ-5D and family support scale. The follow-up interview captured only EQ-5D. Suboptimal family cohesion was defined as any issue with the relationship with parents, spouse, or siblings. Any disability was defined as a reported limitation in one or more domains of the EQ-5D scale. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between family cohesion and recovery at 3 months. Results Of the overall sample, 169 (67.8%) responded to the second interview, and three patients passed away. About 95.2% of patients reported disabilities at baseline, while 88.1% continued to report disabilities after 3 months. Forty patients (16.1%) reported suboptimal family cohesion. Of these patients, 37(94.87%) were in pain, 33(82.5%) reported problems with usual activities, 32(80%) faced problems with self-care, 32 (80%) patients had difficulty in mobility, and 23(57.5%) were depressed. Multivariable regression suggested that patients with suboptimal family cohesion were less likely to recover from disabilities. Conclusion The prevalence of any disability 3 months after discharge is striking. This study suggests that health outcomes after blunt trauma are affected by the strength of the patient’s family cohesion. More research is needed to identify effective ways through which the provision of social support can reduce short term disability after trauma.

Aims: The objective of the current study is to seek ways to improve the present situation on occupational risks and awareness about poor medical waste management. It introduces analysis which measures the awareness of hospital staff and knowledge of medical waste processing awareness of existing management methods, health and environmental impacts, realizing policies and concerns of the public about the existing medical waste management processes. Methods: This study utilizes both face- to- face interview and selfadministered questionnaires regarding staff age, years in service, infectious exposure accidents, and knowledge of the concept of medical waste and associated health and environmental impacts of poor medical waste management. Sixty two Healthcare Facilities (HCFs), including 15 large size HCFs (hospitals), and 47 medium to small size HCFs (medical laboratories and healthcare medical centers), are investigated. Herein, statistical multivariate procedures namely factor analysis and multiple regressions procedures are conducted using SPSS v.18.0 computer software. Results: Results indicate that the strongest exposure risk factor to sharp and needle stick injuries exists for Health care personnel (HCP) who are over 45 years old. Another significantly related factor is spending 3 years or less in service. Also, results on awareness and basic knowledge indicate that about 21% of hospital staff interviewed had a fair knowledge of the concept of medical waste, and about 58% are aware of the associated health and environmental impacts. A further 26.7% and 15.1% are either unaware or uncertain of the associated health risks and exposure risks of poor medical waste management. However, 42.7% of the respondents are unaware of any policy of any type related to the issue of medical waste while 62.1% had never attended any training course or workshops during their service. The results further reveal that 32% of the personnel interviewed had never received any biomedical waste management training from their healthcare managers concerning infectious accidents resulted from sharp and needle stick injuries (SHNSI). Conclusion: There is a great need to develop and adopt a comprehensive healthcare management strategy which includes three keys to success, namely: multi- sectorial cooperation, policy and legal framework, rigorous program for personnel training and raising awareness. Training programs for bodies of HCFs would help in simplifying all delivered guidelines on medical waste management. Such measures would lead to better treatment and controlling the process of monitoring made by administration officers. Recently, Saudi Arabia has implemented many exhaustive training and awareness- raising programs on the safe and proper management of medical wastes.

Abstract Purpose The credible data about the burden of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) in China when compared to other countries in the group of twenty (G20) remained unavailable. We aimed to assess the burden and trends of EOCRC and attributable risk factors in China. Meanwhile, the comparison in the burden and attributable risk factors between China and other G20 countries was also evaluated. Methods Data on the incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and attributable risk factors of EOCRC in China were obtained from Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 and compared with other G20countries. Temporal trends of age-standardized rates for incidence, prevalence, mortality, and DALYs were evaluated by estimated annual percentage change (EAPC). The autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model was used to forecast the incidence, mortality, and DALY rates of EOCRC in China from 2020 to 2029. Results From 1990 to 2019, the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) of EOCRC in China increased with the EAPCs of 4.61 [95% confidence interval ( CI ): 4.45–4.77] and 5.82 (95% CI : 5.60–6.05). When compared to G20 countries, China was ranked 13 th in the ASIR in 1990 and then increased to 2 nd in 2019, second only to Japan. The ASPRs increased in all G20 countries, being highest in Saudi Arabia, followed by China and Mexico. Moreover, China had the highest age-standardized mortality rate and highest age-standardized DALY rate in 2019. In China, the five leading risk factors, for both sexes, were diet low in milk [18.54% (95% UI: 12.71–24.07)], diet low in calcium [15.06% (95% UI: 10.70–20.03)], alcohol use [12.16% (95% UI: 8.87–15.64)], smoking [9.08% (95% UI: 3.39–14.11)], and diet high in red meat [9.08% (95% UI: 3.39–14.11)] in 2019. Over the next 10 years, ASIR, ASMR, and age-standardized DALY rate of EOCRC will increase continuously in males and females. Conclusion The burden of EOCRC in China and other G20 countries is worrisome, indicating that coordinated efforts are needed to conduct high-quality researches, allocate medical resources, adjust screening guidelines, and develop effective treatment and prevention strategies in the G20 countries.

The 21st century poses complex challenges for public health. Our planet is experiencing unprecedented levels of globalization, urbanization and mobility of its 7 billion inhabitants, many of whom live in poverty, conflict or are at risk of natural disasters and suffering from the effects of climate change. Infectious hazards, new and old, threaten the lives and well-being of billions of people across the globe. As the UN's specialized agency for health, WHO investigates around 300 disease outbreaks every year. But detecting and managing epidemic and pandemic-prone diseases is harder than ever. During the last two decades, several high profile disease outbreaks have had a profound effect on public health's response to epidemics and pandemics. Today, in sharp contrast to the last century, there is an expectation that we detect outbreaks faster and manage them better. The response to health emergencies today is vastly different from previous eras where containment was a pre-dominant strategy. Today, for any outbreak, we need to systematically use the combination of modern epidemiology utilizing the power of technology; new and easy-to -use field-based rapid diagnostic tools; clinical care even in the harshest of conditions, vaccines and other medical counter-measures, rapidly developing them if they don’t already exist; real-time training of front-line responders; and effective risk communication and community engagement. This new recognition that we need to marry the social aspects of epidemic and pandemic response with an ever stronger bio-medical response is changing the way disease outbreaks are being managed. Just in the last decade, lessons learnt from MERsCoV in Saudi Arabia and South Korea; Ebola in West Africa; Zika in South America; Yellow Fever in Angola and the Democratic republic of Congo, several ongoing outbreaks of Cholera and Diphtheria in Bangladesh have created the momentum to re-think disease outbreak management to prevent epidemics or pandemics. As the science of epidemic and pandemic diseases marches forward, and social science makes its presence increasingly felt, there is an effort to make the response operations more effective, particularly for large-scale epidemics. The introduction of Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) in countries, and WHO's own reform establishing the use of an incident management system (IMS) have had an impact on how disease outbreaks are viewed and managed. As the current generation of public health experts and personnel, we will undoubtedly write the next chapter in how the epidemics and pandemics of the rest of the 21st century will be managed.

February 2014 witnessed the start of two remarkable public health events on Earth: The Ebola outbreak and the launch of Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA). Since the first case of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa was confirmed, the total number of suspected and confirmed cases in the Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) outbreak has increased to 13,268, including 8168 laboratory-confirmed cases and 4960 deaths in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria, Mali, Senegal, Spain, and the United States (data as of November 4, 2014) [1].
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa stresses the necessity for immediate action to establish global health security capacity to prevent, detect, and rapidly respond to biological threats like Ebola. The GHSA was launched on February 13, 2014, to secure the world from infectious disease threats and unite nations to make new, concrete commitments, and to elevate global health security as a national leaders-level priority [2].The G7 endorsed the GHSA in June 2014, and Finland and Indonesia hosted commitment development meetings in May 2014 and August 2014. Ministers and senior officials from 44 countries and leading international organizations gathered in the White House, Washington DC to make specific commitments to implement the GHSA and to work toward a commitment to assist West Africa with the needed global health security capacity within 3 years.
The countries developed 11 action packages to support the GHSA. The action packages are designed to outline measurable steps required to prevent outbreaks, detect threats in real time, and rapidly respond to infectious disease threats that may occur naturally, as a result of laboratory accidents, or as an act of bioterrorism. The action packages include specific targets and indicators that can be used as a basis to measure how national, regional, and global capacities are developed and maintained over the long term. The United States has committed to assist at least 30 countries over 5 years to achieve the objectives of the GHSA and has placed a priority for actions on combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria, improving biosafety and biosecurity on a global basis, and preventing bioterrorism [3].
Ten countries have agreed to serve on the GHSA Steering Group, which will be chaired by Finland starting in 2015, with representation from countries around the world, including Canada, Chile, Finland, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Korea, and the United States. The Steering Group is charged with tracking progress, identifying challenges, and overseeing implementation for achieving the objectives of the GHSA in support of international standards set by the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and the World Organization for Animal Health. This includes the implementation of internationally agreed standards for core capacities, such as the World Health Organization International Health Regulations, the World Organization for Animal Health Performance of Veterinary Services Pathway, and other global health security frameworks. To provide accountability and drive progress toward GHSA goals, an independent, objective, and transparent assessment process is necessary. In this regard, independent evaluation conducted over the 5-year course of the GHSA will help to highlight gaps and needed course corrections to ensure the GHSA targets are reached.
EHF is one of the aggressive infectious pathogens that has no vaccine and prophylaxis. Preparedness including vaccine development, rapid treatment, and acute diagnostic methods will be helpful in decreasing and managing the infection as is the case with many other infectious diseases. Development of suitable vaccines is the best preparedness approach that can protect from the threat of high-risk infectious diseases.
In the current issue of the Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives, an article reports on the brief historical background on EHF and its vaccine development [4]. The authors mentioned that none of the vaccines tested have received regulatory approval so far; however, there is still an outbreak and spreading of EHF in Africa. The best preparedness strategy against a crisis generated by high-risk pathogens like Ebola or Marburg viruses is to stockpile vaccines after development. As a warning of the EHF outbreak, which has lethal fatality just after infection, immediate vaccination will be the most effective response against an outbreak and for controlling the spread of infection among people living in the most susceptible regions. Thus, developing effective vaccines is essential. Above the development of this kind of vaccine against high-risk pathogens such as Ebola virus, patient safety is much more important than the efficacy to prevent potential accidents. The authors conclude that the Ebola virus may be eradicated using a safe and efficient vaccine similar to the case of the smallpox virus, which was completely eliminated using the variola vaccine developed by Edward Jenner [4].
The authors' conclusion is somewhat hackneyed, but it is true that until the development of a suitable vaccine, rapid detection, response, and control measures should be carried out on a global basis. The GHSA could support the countries in need until the development of such a vaccine.

We reviewed the literature on mass gatherings published worldwide to determine event types and topics or epidemiologic aspects covered. Articles using the term mass gatherings indexed in the Scopus database between 2000 and 2015 were reviewed. Of the 518 returned, we selected 96 with relevant information. The main event types studied were related to sports (46%), music (25%) or religious/social content (23%), and the most commonly studied locations were the United States (n=21), the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (n=17), Australia (n=11), and the United Kingdom (n=10). The four most often studied events were the Hajj (n=17), the Olympic games (n=13), World Youth Day (n=8), and the FIFA World Cup (n=6). The main topics studied were models of health care (n=55), health care evaluation by means of rates of patients presenting for care or transferred to hospitals (n=21), respiratory pathogens (n=18), syndromic surveillance (n=10), and the global spread of diseases (n=10). Mass gatherings are an emerging area of study addressed by various medical specialties that have focused on studying the health care models used at such events. Emergency medicine is particularly involved with this research topic.Se revisa la gestión de las reuniones masivas de personas a nivel mundial con el propósito de conocer los eventos, temas y aspectos epidemiológicos abordados. Para ello, se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica de los documentos que utilizaban el concepto “mass gathering” indexados en la base de datos Scopus entre 2000 y 2015. De los 518 documentos recuperados se seleccionaron 96 con información relevante para su análisis específico. Los principales tipos de eventos estudiados fueron los deportivos (46%), musicales (25%) y religiosos/sociales (23%) desarrollados en Estados Unidos (n = 21), Reino de Arabia Saudita (n = 17), Australia (n = 11) y Reino Unido (n = 10). Los cuatro principales eventos fueron el Hajj (n = 17), Juegos Olímpicos (n = 13), Día de la Juventud (n = 8) y mundiales de fútbol (n = 6), y se evaluaron los diferentes modelos de asistencia sanitaria (n = 55), los ratios de presentación de pacientes y de traslado a hospitales (n = 21), los patógenos respiratorios (n = 18), la vigilancia sindrómica (n = 10) y la globalización de enfermedades (n = 10). Creemos que las reuniones masivas de personas constituyen un área de conocimiento incipiente vinculada con diferentes especialidades médicas, particularmente la medicina de emergencias, que se centra en la investigación de los modelos de asistencia sanitaria.

A parental age at childbirth has previously been considered a possible risk factor of autism spectrum disorder.1 Reported results on the relationship between advanced parental age at child birth and autistic disorder (AD) have been inconsistent. A recent review and meta-analysis revealed a significant association between advanced parental age and AD.2,3 The accumulating data of the association does not indicate a direct causal effect, but it addresses an important public health concern. Bahrain, a developing country, showed a sharp decline in early marriage rates similar to other countries in the region. There are no epidemiological efforts locally, or regionally that address the importance of risk factors associated with AD, including advanced parental age. In this study, we aim is to examine the association of advancing parental age and childbirth order with AD. A case control design study was planned to study the relationship between advanced parental age at childbirth and childbirth order with the incidence of AD. The study received approval from the ethical committee, Ministry of Health, Bahrain, and the parents gave their informed consent prior to inclusion in the study. The study was conducted between July and December 2010. Bahrain is an archipelago situated in the Arabian Gulf, East of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It covers an area approximately 750 km2, and has a population of 1.25 million, estimates for 2010. Health services are free and accessible to all residents. The country is characterized by a low infant mortality rate, 7.2 per 1,000, and high life expectancy rate of 74.8. The study population was composed of cases evaluated at the Child & Adolescent Psychiatric Unit (CAPU) of the Psychiatric Hospital, Manama, Bahrain who received a diagnosis of AD in the period of 2000-2010 (n=100). The CAPU is the only referral clinic for the diagnosis of AD in Bahrain. The unit receives referrals for all types of psychiatric disorders from all kinds of sources including families. The diagnosis was made according to the: Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT), the American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM IV TR), and the Childhood Autism Rating scale (CARS). A control group comprised an equal number of CAPU cases from the same time period. They were randomly selected from a pool of 350 cases, matched for age (5 years group), and gender within each group. The controls were cases of nocturnal enuresis (n=64), mild behavior disorder (n=10), and no psychopathology (n=26). The medical records from CAPU were reviewed, and related data was extracted and entered in a specially designed form. Included in the form were items such as the child’s age, gender, pregnancy, delivery, pre-natal, natal and post natal complications; stressful life events during childhood; early years of development, the child’s sleeping history, eating pattern, language development, and birth order; the parents’ age at child’s birth; parents’ education, employment, psychiatric and medical history; and the family history of AD, and consanguinity. Neither the cases nor their parents were interviewed. Parents of 9 cases and 21 controls were contacted by telephone, or home visit by the CAPU social worker to clarify missing data. Only one case from the study group was excluded due to doubtful diagnosis. The data were entered and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 16.0. Chi-Square test of significance was used to assess differences when applicable. P-values 30 years at child’s birth), were 1.83 times more likely to develop AD (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.02-3.28) in comparison with the reference group (mothers aged ≤30 years at child birth) in both cases and control. Children of fathers in the paternal age group (>30 years at child birth) were 2.08 times more likely to develop AD (95% CI: 1.15-3.7) in comparison with the reference group. More cases of individuals with AD were first in birth order in comparison with the control individuals, but this difference did not show any statistical significance (odds ratio 1.67, 95% CI: 0.91-3.06, p=0.095). These study results are consistent with recently reported population-based, case-cohort design studies that found an association between advanced maternal and/or paternal age and the risk of AD.4 However, our

Immigrant populations in Saudi Arabia face significant health inequalities, including higher smoking prevalence and lower tobacco cessation rate, but little is known about smoking among expatriate workers.To identify the prevalence and workplace correlates of current smoking to enable targeted anti-smoking interventions.A cross-sectional survey of 4575 male expatriate workers was used to investigate the associations between self-reported tobacco smoking, sociodemographic characteristics, industry and occupation groups, health insurance status and overall health status using logistic regression analyses.Current smoking prevalence was 22.9% among male expatriate workers, which was lower than the estimated prevalence in the general population (25.9%). Factors significantly associated with current smoking included being married but not living with family [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) =1.278, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.048-1.560), health insurance coverage (AOR = 1.326, 1.124-1.565), manual (AOR=1.600, 1.234-2.075) and unskilled (AOR=1.788, 1.341-2.383) occupations, monthly income > 2000 Saudi riyal and duration of stay ≥ 1 year.Concerted efforts at the national (health policies)and employers' levels are required to reduce smoking prevalence among male expatriate workers, including provision of comprehensive health insurance with tobacco cessation therapy as benefits, enforcement of workplace smoking ban, anti-tobacco heal th programmes and web/telephone smoking cessation counselling.معدلات انتشار تدخين التبغ بين العاملين المغتربين الذكور وارتباطها بمكان العمل في المملكة العربية السعودية.هايسن اوكوهور، الخميس عبد الوهاب الخميس.تواجه مجموعات المغتربين في المملكة العربية السعودية جوانب كبيرة من التفاوت الصحي، ومنها المعدلات العالية لانتشار تدخين التبغ والمعدلات المنخفضة للإقلاع عنه، ولكن لا يُعرف إلا القليل حول التدخين بين العاملين المغتربين على وجه التحديد.هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى التعرف على الارتباطات بين معدل الانتشار الحالي للتدخين ومكان العمل، تمهيدًا لتدخلات تستهدف الإقلاع عنه.أجريت دراسة مقطعية شملت 4575 عاملً مغتربًا من الذكور لاستقصاء الارتباط بين الإبلاغ الذاتي عن تدخين التبغ والخصائص الاجتماعية والسكانية، والمجموعات الصناعية والمهنية، وحالة التأمين الصحي، والحالة الصحية العامة باستخدام تحليل التحوُّف اللوجستي.بلغ معدل الانتشار الحالي للتدخين بين العاملين الذكور المغتربين 22.9 %، وهو أقل من معدل الانتشار التقديري بين مجمل السكان (25.9%). ووجد أن العوامل التي ترتبط ارتباطًا ملحوظًا بالتدخين الحالي تشمل الزواج دون العيش مع الأسرة AOR = 1.278; %95 CI = 1.048-1.56)) ، والتغطية بالتأمين الصحي (AOR = 1.326; 1.124 - 1.565) ، والعمل بمهنة يدوية (AOR = 1.6; %95 CI = 1.234 - 2.075) ، والعمالة غير الماهرة (AOR = 1.788; %95 CI = 1.344 - 2.383) ، والأجر الشهري الذي يزيد على 2000 ريال سعودي، ومدة الإقامة تساوي أو تزيد عن سنة واحدة.تمسُّ الحاجة إلى القيام بجهود متناغمة على المستوى الوطني (السياسات الصحية) وعلى مستوى أرباب العمل لتخفيض معدلات انتشار التدخين بين العاملين المغتربين الذكور، وتشمل تلك الجهود: التأمين الصحي الشامل، بما يشمل معالجة الإقلاع عن التدخين (بمثابة مزايا إضافية)، وفرض حظر التدخين في مكان العمل، والبرامج الصحية لمكافحة التدخين، وتقديم المشورة عبر الإنترنت أو عبر الهاتف للإقلاع عن التدخين.Prévalence et corrélats du tabagisme en milieu de travail chez les travailleurs expatriés de sexe masculin en Arabie saoudite.Les populations immigrées en Arabie saoudite sont confrontées à des inégalités importantes en matière de santé, y compris une plus forte prévalence du tabagisme et un taux de sevrage plus faible. Le tabagisme chez les travailleurs expatriés reste cependant un sujet méconnu.Déterminer la prévalence et les corrélats du tabagisme en milieu de travail au moment de l’étude afin de mettre en oeuvre des interventions antitabac ciblées.Une étude transversale a été réalisée auprès de 4575 travailleurs expatriés de sexe masculin afin d’étudier les liens entre le tabagisme auto-déclaré, les caractéristiques sociodémographiques, le secteur et la profession, le régime d’assurance maladie et l’état de santé global en recourant aux analyses de régression logistique.La prévalence du tabagisme au moment de l’étude était de 22,9 % chez les travailleurs expatriés de sexe masculin, soit plus faible que la prévalence estimée dans la population générale (25,9 %). Les facteurs étroitement associés au tabagisme incluaient le fait d’être marié sans vivre avec la famille (odds ratio ajusté [ORa] = 1,278 ; intervalle de confiance [IC] à 95 % : 1,048-1,560), la couverture d’assurance-maladie (ORa= 1,326 ; IC à 95 % :1,124-1,565), le travail manuel (ORa = 1,600 ; IC à 95 % :1,234-2,075) et le fait d’être non qualifié (ORa = 1,788 ; IC à 95 % :1,341-2,383), un revenu mensuel supérieur à 2000 rials saoudiens et une durée de séjour supérieure ou égale à un an.Des efforts concertés doivent être mis en oeuvre par le gouvernement national (politiques de santé) et par les employeurs pour réduire la prévalence du tabagisme chez les travailleurs expatriés de sexe masculin, notamment par la fourniture d’une assurance maladie complète couvrant les thérapies de sevrage tabagique, l’application de l’interdiction de fumer sur les lieux de travail ainsi que la mise en place de programmes de prévention du tabagisme et de services de conseil en matière de sevrage tabagique (en ligne ou par téléphone).

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has questioning origin in Wuhan, an industrial city of China. The novel coronavirus 2 (NCV2) was first identified in December 2019, and World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a global public health emergency on 30 January 2020, officially named it as COVID-19 on February 11 2020, and a pandemic on 11 March 2020. COVID-19 causes physical and mental health problems of variable severity and outcomes among people around the world.
 Objective: This study has two aims;1) to conduct a scoping review of COVID-19’s epidemiological trend, clinical manifestations, therapeutics, diagnosis, and progress on vaccine development; and 2) to describe a case series of ten consultees’ and conveniently selected five family units’ mental and physical health effects of COVID-19 over the past 9 months, December to August 31, 2020.
 Methods: We used keywords and Boolean Operators for conducting electronic searches of published literature in three largest databases on COVID-19 and regularly received notifications from COVID-19 resource centers, scientific journals, international and national research and economic institutions, and various websites, which helped to retain 82 articles after iterative screening for this review. In addition, 10 cases and the heads of 5 family units were interviewed virtually for assessing the mental and physical health of all family members affected by COVID-19.
 Results: COVID-19 pandemic presents with variable clinical manifestations and outcomes attributable to the persons’ immune system, age and gender, physical and mental comorbidities, and adversely affects the biopsychosocial, cultural and economic fabrics of the world population. Basic preventive precautions and nonspecific drug interventions against COVID-19 are relatively effective with inconstant morbidity and mortality, and vaccine development researches (phase I-III) are in progress around the world. All persons in case series, not corona positive except one, presented with mental and physical health problems of wider nature that required integrated treatment interventions while majority of family unit members were less affected mentally or physically by COVID-19 and improved with preventive precautions.
 Conclusion: COVID-19 is highly virulent disease linked with variable mental health problems, greater morbidity and mortality, severe strains on healthcare organizations and economic downturn around the world. Despite difficult access to services, overall our case series and family members showed good outcome. Information concerning COVID-19 is continuously evolving and, hence, further scoping reviews, randomized clinical trials and surveys concerning its several perspectives are needed in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the Gulf countries.

More than one month has passed by since the first case of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was confirmed in Republic of Korea (ROK) on May 20, 2015 (1). Just a single patient, who visited Dammam, Saudi Arabia, devastatingly produced 183 hospital associated patients through secondary and tertiary infections, which yielded 33 fatalities by July 2, 2015 (2).
Widespread fear broke out among the residents of the area inhabited by the hospitals, and parents became hesitant in sending their children to schools. Regardless of the very low possibility of infection at the community-level, schools still remained vigilant for the possibility of outbreaks by the unfounded rumors about the virus going airborne. In addition, one province in China restricted travels to Korea after a seemingly asymptomatic Korean traveler was found to be harboring the virus overseas.
Ironically enough, ROK has a long-standing reputation for being rapid responders to emerging infectious diseases such as SARS, for example, worldwide. The ROK has been planning to host a high-level international conference on the subject of the Health Security Agenda in September this year. As one of the leading global advocates of the prevention and cessation of biological warfare, the ROK was drafting plans for simulation trainings such as a viral outbreak scenario as early as last year.
After Korea inadvertently produced its first overseas MERS patient, the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced to conduct a transparent investigation on the outbreak in a form of a Joint Mission from June 9 through 13, 2015. The investigation concluded that ROK was taking thorough countermeasures in tracking patients, isolation/quarantine, prevention, and limiting infected patients from traveling. Therefore, the Joint Mission recommended maintaining the status quo of efforts. The Director General convened the 9th meeting of International Health Regulation (IHR) Emergency Committee regarding MERS-CoV on June 17, 2015. Although neither a state of emergency nor travel limitation was recommended to be imposed upon the ROK, the large and complex was described in the following manner (3):
1. A lack of awareness of MERS among the health care workers and the general public;
2. Suboptimal infection prevention and control measures in the hospitals;
3. Close and prolonged contact of infected MERS patients in crowded emergency rooms and multi-bed rooms in hospitals;
4. The problematic practice of seeking care at multiple hospitals (shopping for doctors);
5. The custom of many visitors or family members staying with infected patients in the hospital rooms facilitating the secondary spread of infections.
Hence how then, should Korea overcome this exigent health and security crisis spurred on by the sudden emergence of a new infectious disease? Korea needs to realign its mindset from that of Infection to one resembling a Countermeasure of Bio-terrorism which is a concept of Model State Emergency Health Powers Act after September 11 (4), 2001 USA and to bring forth a new paradigm of values such as goods in order to repair the current public health vulnerabilities. The ROK must carefully formulate new comprehensive countermeasures of this new Global Health Security on Infection.
A change in the legalese regarding emerging infectious diseases would be the first step toward prevention. Diseases, such as Ebola, that are on the WHO watch list should be classified as first-tier diseases, to which the appropriate authorities would give the power during public health emergency, such as the quarantine and isolation, tracking of, and even temporarily suspending the employment of potential patients when necessary. Infectious diseases pose threats to global society such as antimicrobial resistance, zoonotic diseases, and diseases borne of bio-terror. Of course, vaccine preventable diseases must be prioritized by a nation to control critical diseases. It is necessary to make a new act for emergency health powers.
Second, to further preserve the safety of the hospitals, measures should be set in place so to equip the 'negative pressure isolation room (NPIR)' to allow all patients displaying symptoms of unknown fever to be isolated and treated. Every emergency department and intensive care unit should be equipped with an NPIR, with its costs paid by the government. A clinic dedicated solely to heat-related illnesses with an accompanying isolation center should be set up by district, city, and province as well.
Third, the surveillance network for infectious diseases must undergo a colossal re-haul in order to quickly and efficiently detect the diseases. A national laboratory network consisting of city/provincial BL3, a central BL4 laboratory and commercial laboratories must be formed, allowing the rapid and advanced identification of pathogens. Creating a mandatory surveillance for patients with severe pneumonia admitted in general hospitals would allow for providing a real-time reporting network for new infections. Front-line healthcare personnel should cooperate with local legal authority and trained through joint-programs. All public laboratories and infection research centers must be well-operated for 24 hours/7 days, which means to invest more money and manpower as well.
Fourth, a clear command control needs to be established for disease control, by Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC), a control tower at a national level, Infectious Disease Control Headquarters at city/provincial levels, and an Emergency Response Centers in the town and at county levels. A central command center, accompanied by an Epidemic Investigation Bureau must be organized in order to augment the collaboration of KCDC with other ministries at the time of public health crisis. Extra measurement may require new act for emergency health powers as well.
Fifth, crisis communication must be improved at a national/international level to minimize panic and further damage. A media center dedicated to raising awareness of infectious diseases must be created using the internet, social networks, and video channels. The media center should utilize different types of media to educate all ages on the topic of disease prevention, as well as offer materials in a variety of languages to minimize any risk of incoherent information and to increase transparency.
Finally, there must be a greater emphasis in the formation of local government programs that generate social capital. Therefore, the victims of infections do not feel as if they are isolated from the society. These programs should focus on fostering patient resilience and rehabilitate patients back to being functional members of the society, as well as altering society's opinions of the victims of the emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.

The success of the large-scale event industry, which deals with managing events such as
Olympiads and occasional mass tourism, depends mainly on two factors: the quality of the
program, and the quality of the facilities and services provided. The mega-event of the Hajj, the
annual Muslim pilgrimage to Makkah, Saudi Arabia, currently attracts more than two million
visitors from all over the world for about two weeks; generating a huge demand for services, for
short periods, at four nearby pilgrimage cities. Therefore, in order to enhance the feasibility,
availability, and the quality of services for the Hajj of the future, a system of Mobile Service Units
(MSUs) is proposed, instead of fixed service centres, to serve the expected 4.8 million pilgrims by
year 2025.
A Multi-disciplinary engineering approach has been used to investigate the proposed system of
Mobile Service Units in macroscopic and microscopic scales on the light of the new master plan
for the cities of the Hajj. A survey (questionnaire) was conducted to investigate the opinions of
service providers (297 respondents) to be considered. Various designs and configurations were
developed to investigate the ability to construct the proposed system. Modelling and simulation
of the system were used to develop and to investigate the operation and the control for the
system and its effect on the mass transportation of pilgrims during the Hajj.
It is found that whilst the service providers consider the current services relatively sufficient, they
are enthusiastic regarding implementing the proposed Mobile Service Units for the Hajj of the
future. They contributed actively in determining 44 types of services that they considered as
feasible to be mobile and highlighted their concerns, which are resolved by the findings of this
research and the master plan for the cities of the Hajj.
The possibility of making the proposed system of MSUs has been confirmed from many
perspectives. The web search has revealed that many mobile services are available
commercially and special MSUs could be built using existing technology. More MSUs designs
and configurations are proposed and various urban design layouts have demonstrated their
integration with the master plan of the cities of the Hajj. Moreover, an abundant and low-cost
resource for making MSUs is identified by recycling out-of-service buses used for the Hajj, and
modular extension units are proposed to simplify converting these buses to spacious MSUs.
Simulation results have identified the proper service capacities for the proposed MSUs.
An approach for Just-In-Time MSUs (JIT-MSUs) is shown, by simulation, as feasible to control
the proposed system of MSUs, through an online control of the orders to move MSUs to provide
the right services, at the right place, at the right time; achieving higher efficiency and utilization of
resources. A Fuzzy Logic method is used, on a microscopic scale to issue requests for MSUs
according to local situations; and on a macroscopic scale to evaluate all requests according to
global conditions relating to the system as a whole. Simulation results confirm that MSUs will not
affect the mass transportation of pilgrims as they make use of the unused capacity of the Shuttle
Buses road networks. Simulation results also show that a significant reduction in resources, and
a high increase in profit, compared with fixed services can be achieved using the proposed
MSUs.
It is concluded that, the proposed system of MSUs is technically, operationally and economically
viable and expected to contribute to the success of the mega-event of the Hajj throughout
providing an adequate amount of a wide variety of quality facilities and services, at all locations,
whenever needed, without increasing the cost of services. Further studies for establishing the
proposed system of MSUs for the Hall and integrating it with the Shuttle Buses transportation
system, according to the master plan of the cities of the Hajj, are suggested.

The Group of 20 (G20) Summit took place on June 28 and 29 in Osaka, Japan, amid escalating tensions over trade, climate change, and even the value of liberalism. With the dominant focus on the economy and global trade, especially deals between the USA and China, health discussions failed to make the mainstream media headlines. Indeed, progression on health was disappointing. The final G20 Osaka Leaders’ Declaration highlights commitments on the economy, global finance, and anti-corruption policies. Support for developing countries, and specifically the G20 Africa partnership, towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is highlighted as part of “realizing an inclusive and sustainable world”. Notably, the global health section begins with “Health is a prerequisite for sustainable and inclusive economic growth”, which signals G20 agreement to this important fundamental premise. The Declaration then reiterates past commitment to achieving universal health coverage (UHC), puts primary health care at the heart of advancing health and inclusion, and calls for greater collaboration between health and finance ministers. The appointment of Keizo Takemi as WHO Goodwill Ambassador for UHC signals Japan's commitment to promoting UHC. Promotion of healthy and active ageing (a theme championed by the current Japanese Government); public health preparedness and financial help to combat Ebola; the eradication of polio and ending the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria; and tackling antimicrobial resistance through the One Health approach are additional and unsurprising commitments. On climate change, little has changed, with the USA reiterating its decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe expressed Japan's wish to promote a free and open, inclusive and sustainable, “human-centered future society”. On health, the G20 Osaka Summit recognised that “global health… is essential as a basis for sustainable growth of the global economy”, and noted “the importance of sustainable health financing towards UHC”. However, the first Joint Session of the G20 Finance and Health Ministers as part of the G20 Osaka Summit was also a disappointment, with no formal outcome document, and with health ministers simply capitulating to the constraints set by finance ministers. A report released by the World Bank on June 27 projects that by 2030, the target date of the SDGs, there will be a US$176 billion gap in the 54 poorest countries between the financing needed to provide their populations with quality, affordable health services and the funding that is actually available. The report calls for increased national investment in health and making investment in health a whole-of-government priority, improving financial sustainability by scaling proven investments like primary health services that reach the poorest, and taxing tobacco, alcohol, and sugary drinks to raise revenue and improve health. It also calls for increased international assistance for health, and building national institutions and capacities. In response, Egypt, currently chair of the African Union, reiterated the Union's commitment to increase national investments in health in Africa and to promote collaboration between ministers of finance and health. In a Health Policy paper published on June 27 in The Lancet ahead of the G20 Summit, Joseph L Dieleman and colleagues call for G20 countries to increase their funds for development assistance for health (DAH) and to discuss how to focus DAH for equitable health gains; how to deliver DAH to strengthen health systems; and how to promote domestic financing for sustainable impact. The UK's pledge of €1·4 billion to The Global Fund, increasing its funding by 16%, is a welcome start. Bronwyn McBride and colleagues in BMC Public Health have commended BRICS, G7, and the G20 leadership on global health, but highlight their narrow focus on the potential impact of ill health primarily in relation to the economy and trade. 2017 was the first time that the G20 health ministers discussed global health issues. McBride and colleagues recommend that BRICS, G7, and G20 expand their focus to the neglected SDG 3 health targets; place greater emphasis on equity and leaving no-one behind; adopt explicit rights-based approaches; and make quantitative commitments with clear accountability mechanisms. In the words of Dr Tedros, WHO's Director-General, who was invited to G20 Osaka: “Health is a political choice. As @g20org leaders, you have a unique opportunity to make that choice for a better world.” The G20 Osaka Summit could best be described as building momentum on past global health commitments. The Health Ministers’ Meeting on Oct 19–20, 2019, in Okayama and the G20 Summit in Saudi Arabia are the next milestones. Progress on the Declaration commitments must now be demonstrated.

The Summit presents a valuable opportunity to reflect on the provision and receipt of development assistance for health (DAH) and the role the G20 can have in shaping the future of health financing. The participants at the G20 Summit (ie, the world's largest providers of DAH, emerging donors, and DAH recipients) and this Summit's particular focus on global health and the Sustainable Development Goals offers a unique forum to consider the changing DAH context and its pressing questions.

Dear Editor, Poliomyelitis is an acute communicable disease caused by a single-stranded RNA enterovirus with 3 serotypes of poliovirus (Type1,2,3) causing an irreversible paralytic disease that occurs in about 0.5% of poliovirus infections in children less than 5 years of age (1 in every 200 susceptible children affected). The remaining infected individuals are either asymptomatic or show flu-like symptoms. Approximately 5–10% of paralytic patients may die due to respiratory muscle paralysis. Polio has no cure, but the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) and live-attenuated oral polio vaccine (OPV) are effective in preventing infection by all poliovirus types: type 1, type 2, and type 3. The disease is transmitted through fecal-oral and oral-oral routes depending on the level of sanitation, with the fecal-oral route being the primary method of transmission for polioviruses, the virus replicates in the intestine, from where they can be shed in the feces or affect the nervous system. In 1988, the WHO started the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) to eradicate polio. Since then, a significant decline has been in the number of wild poliovirus infections (WPV); from 350 000 cases in 1988 to 650 cases in 2011, and most recently 6 cases in 2021 globally [1]. Since 1999, there have been no reported cases of wild poliovirus type 2, while the last case of wild poliovirus type 3 occurred in 2012. Both strains were declared to be globally eradicated in 2015 and 2019, respectively. Currently, WPV type 1 is the only strain that causes polio, and in 2022, it continues to be endemic only in Pakistan and Afghanistan [2]. However, the OPV attenuated virus can mutate to regain neurovirulence, particularly in areas with low vaccination coverage where the population has low immunity. The uninterrupted circulation of the attenuated virus can thus increase the likelihood of its mutation and lead to circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) outbreaks [3,4]. Around 800 cases of cVDPV were reported between the years 2000 and 2015, with the prime contributor being cVDPV type 2 [5,6]. As a response to the vaccine-derived disease clusters, the trivalent vaccine (containing types 1, 2, and 3) was switched in 2016 to the bivalent vaccine (containing types 1 and 3), together with providing IPV into routine vaccination programs to maintain immunity against all polioviruses, including poliovirus type 2. This switch aimed to eradicate both wild polioviruses and cVDVP simultaneously [7]. However, more cVDPV outbreaks, infected cases, affected countries, and new genetic emergence have been reported since then. Between January 2016 and August 30, 2022, cVDPV affected approximately 2660 cases, 96% of which were caused by cVDVP2, primarily in countries with low vaccine coverage, exceeding the number of those infected with the wild types (Fig. 1) [3,4].Fig. 1.: The trend of polio cases from 2000 to August 30, 2022. Data are from WHO (https://extranet.who.int/polis/public/CaseCount.aspx) and GPEI (https://polioeradication.org/polio-today/polio-now/this-week/circulating-vaccine-derived-poliovirus/).The cessation of the type 2 component of trivalent OPV and the delay in IPV introduction may be the causes of the early rise in the outbreaks. Since 2019, the outbreaks have substantially increased, probably due to using mono OPV type 2 (mOPV2) to control cVDVP2 outbreaks, leading to around 60 new genetic emergence [4]. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic, which delayed routine vaccination, delivery of the mOPV2 in response to outbreaks, and suspended field surveillance, may have contributed to the dramatic rise in cases observed in 2020, reaching the highest number of cases ever recorded. Since the early 2000s, high-income countries such as the US, the UK, and Scandinavia have used the IPV vaccine alone to eradicate vaccine-derived and wild polio. However, IPV is five times more expensive than OPV and more difficult to administer. Furthermore, IPV is less effective at interrupting the transmission of infection, particularly during outbreaks, since it offers less intestinal immunity than OPV, allowing for viral replication in the intestine and shedding in the feces. These factors limit IPV's ability to control cVDPV2 outbreaks in countries with low vaccination rates and limited resources [8]. A novel OPV type 2 (nOPV2) vaccine was developed and granted Emergency Use Listing in 2021. It outperformed the conventional mOPV2 regarding genetic stability and the likelihood of not seeding new VDPV outbreaks [9]. The introduction of the novel vaccine as the primary vaccine in response to VDPV type 2 outbreaks is one of the primary strategies of the Polio Eradication Strategy 2022–2026 launched by GPEI [10]. Polio cases are currently being reported from various Asian and African countries (Table 1). However, in 2022, cVDPV2 was found in sewage in London, UK and Israel, and a paralytic case caused by the virus was reported in a county with the highest immunization coverage in New York state, USA [11]. In November 2021, Malawi reported the first WPV type 1 paralytic case in Africa since 2016. This virus strain was related to one found previously in Pakistan. Later in July 2022, five cases were reported from Mozambique, a neighboring country [12]. As a result, the risk of wild or vaccine-associated poliovirus reemergence remains in countries that have eradicated wild polioviruses or stopped using the OPV vaccine in routine immunization. This will continue to be a challenge as long as there are unvaccinated groups, or the virus has not been eradicated globally. Poliovirus eradication should be prioritized again, with high immunization coverage rates maintained and mOPV2 replaced with nOPV2 in the outbreak response. Country-specific precise and individualized strategy is required to eradicate WPV and cVDPV simultaneously. We recommend enhancing acute flaccid paralysis surveillance and environmental surveillance for all cases reported globally. We also believe it is imperative to address the ‘anticipated vaccination needs’ through behavior change communication and focused group discussions to improve vaccine acceptability and coverage in all pockets.Table 1: Prevalence of polio cases in 2022.

Aims. This research investigated the health status (e. g. weight perception and BMI, mental
health conditions and general health complaints), and the lifestyle behaviours (e. g. smoking,
alcohol consumption, and dietary behaviour) of Libyan higher education students (HES). The
objectives were to compare their health status and lifestyle behaviours in the different regions
of Libya; and to compare Libyan HES with those from other countries. In addition to this, the
study aimed to determine if any association existed between demographic and academic
variables and health and lifestyle variables. Purpose. The purpose of the study was to provide
baseline data required by university health programmes in Libya for planning related to the
health needs of students. Methods. The sample consisted of 1300 higher education students
from different higher education institutes and different disciplines. The self-administered
health questionnaire used included questions on health and health-related behaviours and
their associated social and economic factors. It was conducted during lecture time. Data were
analysed with SPSS. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify sociodemographic
variables associated with health and lifestyle variables. Results. In this sample
of students, the prevalence of overweight was higher than the prevalence of underweight and
obesity (14.5%, 18.2%, and 4.2% respectively), and 40% of students were trying to lose
weight. High rates (45%) of depressive symptoms were found, however; overall 8.8% of
respondents reported being diagnosed with anxiety, and 4.3% with depression. The findings
of this study also indicated that students reported high levels of subjective health complaints.
The majority of students reported that their physical activity levels were insufficient; only 5%
of students met the international recommended levels of physical activity. Only one in ten
students was found to be consuming an adequate amount of fruit and vegetables (at least five
times a day). About 6% of the students self-identified themselves as current smokers, and the
results revealed that smoking was a male phenomenon in Libya. Alcohol consumption is not
very common among Libyan students, and only 3.5% reported drinking alcohol; overall,
1.6% reported using drugs, and all students who reported using drugs reported cannabis use.
A gender difference was noticeable and consistent across types of complaints; depressive
symptoms, dietary behaviour, physical activity, smoking and alcohol and drug consumption.
Females reported significantly worse health status than males in terms of health complaints,
and depressive symptoms. Males reported higher levels of physical activity and higher levels
of smoking and alcohol and drug consumption than females. Students in North Libya showed
the highest levels of physical activity, and also the highest levels of smoking, alcohol and
drug consumption, whereas students in East Libya had the highest levels of fruit and
vegetable consumption. Logistic regression analysis revealed substantial associations
between females and depressive symptoms, dietary behaviour and higher levels of
complaints, and also between social support and anxiety and depression. The comparisons
with other survey data showed that the Libyan rates of overweight and obesity were similar to
rates reported amongst students at Alexandria University in Egypt, and much higher than
those reported in other countries such as Poland, Japan and Korea. Depressive symptom rates
were similar to the rates reported among university students in Bulgaria and higher than those
reported in Germany, Denmark and Poland with respect to male students, and Libyan HES
reported lower rates of health complaints than students in certain other European countries. In
addition, the levels of fruit and vegetable consumption amongst Libyan HES were lower than
those reported amongst Australian students. The prevalence of physical activity levels was
lower than that reported amongst university students in the United Arab Emirates. The results
of this study clearly indicate that the prevalence of smoking and alcohol and drug
consumption among students in Libya was lower than among those from other Arabic countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Conclusion. Efforts to
promote a healthy lifestyle among students are needed and should place greater emphasis on
physical activity and increased fruit and vegetable consumption, and on discouraging
smoking and body dissatisfaction. There is a need for future research on student health, which
should be carried out with a larger sample group to develop a national standardized
instrument. Future research will be helpful for accurately identifying perceived barriers to,
and recommending changes to enhance, physical activity among HES.

On May 19–24, 2014, WHO hosted the sixty-seventh session of the World Health Assembly (WHA) in Geneva, Switzerland. This annual event is a time when senior health officials from member states convene to review WHO's practices and finances, and adopt new goals and assign tasks in public health policies. According to the press release at the close of the WHA, more than 20 resolutions on important public health issues were adopted.1WHOWorld Health Assembly closes, news release.http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2014/WHA-20140524/en/Date: May 24, 2014Google Scholar Margaret Chan, WHO's Director-General, is quoted in the release as saying: “This has been an intense Health Assembly, with a record-breaking number of agenda items, documents and resolutions, and nearly 3500 registered delegates. This is a reflection of the growing number of complexity of health issues, and your deep interest in addressing them.”1WHOWorld Health Assembly closes, news release.http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2014/WHA-20140524/en/Date: May 24, 2014Google Scholar However, one group of participants, namely the media, felt somewhat ostracised from the debates that took place at the WHA. For the second year in a row, Margaret Chan did not give a specific address to the media at the WHA, despite a request before the WHA from the Geneva-based Association of Correspondents Accredited to the United Nations (ACANU) to do so. ACANU asked Margaret Chan to meet the press to discuss the main topics of the WHA; she declined this request, arguing a lack of time, a reason that journalists found disrespectful. Throughout the week, Margaret Chan was not available to the media for comment, and there was no process by which she could receive questions from the media and respond. The reactions from the media at the WHA's daily press briefings ranged from disappointment to outrage, and, unsurprisingly, Margaret Chan's absence became a story in itself. Yet the Director-General was visible elsewhere during the WHA, addressing technical briefings and other ministerial events. Furthermore, access to WHO technical experts and ministers was also limited throughout the week. Again, the media were told that these individuals were just too busy to meet the media, although they were available for interviews on WHO's daily digital event World Health+SocialGood. When asked to comment on why WHO's Director-General declined requests to meet the press formally, a WHO spokesperson said: “As you know, it has not been normal practice for the Director-General to meet the media during the World Health Assembly. Other members of staff do that on behalf of the Organization, because Dr Chan's own schedule is so packed. This was a particularly intense World Health Assembly, attended by nearly 3500 registered delegates, which passed more than 20 resolutions. The Director-General's daily agenda was a long series of back-to-back meetings of the governing bodies, technical briefings and side events, and meetings requested by Ministers of Health. But WHO is keenly aware of the importance of keeping the media informed about the Health Assembly. We held daily press briefings, facilitated interviews with senior WHO experts, organised topic specific briefings, and ensured that guest speakers gave press conferences within the Palais des Nations, as well as live-streaming daily commentary on the proceedings.” But there is an unwritten rule between the UN press corps and heads of UN agencies based in Geneva that at least once a year they talk to the press. Since September, 2013, ACANU has had press conferences with the heads of many UN agencies. Beyond the UN family, the Director-General of the World Trade Organization, the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, and other institutional leaders have also briefed the ACANU in person. Even UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon finds time to meet the press when he comes to Geneva. Why should WHO's Director-General be any different? These briefings with the press are important because the international media have a responsibility to report properly and accurately. It is vital that they have access to all information sources, especially to key experts and delegates. The head of an organisation that is financed by states has an obligation to speak to the media and is accountable to them. The transparency and credibility of the organisation depends on it. So it is unacceptable that the media were relegated to a position of such unimportance during the WHA, especially at a time when threats to public health are high with the current outbreaks of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, polio, and Ebola haemorrhagic fever,2Kelland K Special report—Saudi Arabia takes heat for spread of MERS virus.Reuters. May 22, 2014; (accessed May 28, 2014).http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/05/22/uk-saudi-mers-special-report-idUKKBN0E207Z20140522Google Scholar, 3Moghtader M Iran confirms first two cases of MERS.Reuters.

A senior UN correspondent told us, “there is a restrictive and increasingly closed door culture that has become a major impediment for reporters covering global public health and humanitarian issues”. Furthermore, at a time when WHO is undergoing a period of reform the agency needs to be scrutinised. For example, WHO's engagement with non-state actors, which include the private sector, philanthropic foundations, academia, and non-governmental organisations, continued to be a topic of debate at this year's WHA.6WHOSixty-seventh World Health Assembly Provisional agenda item 11.1. WHO reform: progress report on reform implementation. Report by the Director-General.http://apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/WHA67/A67_4-en.pdfDate: May 8, 2014Google Scholar Certain parties have called for the need to preserve the integrity of WHO and to ensure transparency in relation to private sector funding.7Clift C What's the World Health Organization for? Final report from the Centre on Global Health Security Working Group on Health Governance. Chatham House/The Royal Institute of International Affairs, London2014http://www.chathamhouse.org/sites/default/files/home/chatham/public_html/sites/default/files/20140521WHOHealthGovernanceClift.pdfGoogle Scholar In this context, the media have a vital part to play by raising questions about the common practices of the agency and how it is funded, as well as by monitoring the progress of reform. We believe Margaret Chan would better serve her organisation by building closer relations with UN correspondents instead of disregarding the press. In terms of public awareness and engagement, the media are important allies to WHO's mission. It is imperative that by the sixty-eighth WHA, in 2015, efforts to improve the relationship between WHO and the media are made, and the Director-General takes time out of her busy schedule to address the media formally. GS is President of the Association des Correspondants Auprès des Nations Unies. Global health and the mediaWe commend Pamela Das and Gabriela Sotomayor for shining a light on WHO and its recent handling of communications at the 67th World Health Assembly (June 21, p 2102).1 What this article also touches on is the role of the media and global health more broadly.

In 2011, WHO reached a global health milestone when the organisation achieved international agreement on a framework for pandemic influenza preparedness that would facilitate the sharing of influenza virus samples and data, allow vaccine access, and address aspects relevant to low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).1WHOSixty-fourth World Health Assembly. WHA64.5. Pandemic influenza preparedness: sharing of influenza viruses and access to vaccines and other benefits. World Health Organization, Geneva2011Google Scholar Similarly, in 2015, a WHO consultation during the Ebola virus outbreak in west Africa emphasised the need for global norms and for the public availability of data during public health emergencies.2WHODeveloping global norms for sharing data and results during public health emergencies. World Health Organization, 2015http://www.who.int/medicines/ebola-treatment/data-sharing_phe/en/Date accessed: July 15, 2020Google Scholar This position was echoed a few months later by the Wellcome Trust and other leading scientific organisations and health agencies during the Zika virus outbreak in the Americas, which encouraged widespread and rapid data availability.3Wellcome TrustSharing data during Zika and other global health emergencies.https://wellcome.ac.uk/news/sharing-data-during-zika-and-other-global-health-emergenciesDate: Feb 10, 2016Date accessed: July 15, 2020Google Scholar The notion of sharing data during public health emergencies is thus generally accepted and practised during times of crisis. Indeed, data sharing is a cornerstone of the COVID-19 pandemic response, informing public health policies and interventions and measuring their effects. However, these crisis experiences provide a strong argument that data sharing should not simply be limited to emergencies or a few high-priority threats. Emergency preparedness for anticipated and novel public health challenges requires near real-time, broad-based, continuous information, and a collaborative framework for data collection, sharing, analysis, alerts, investigation, and response. Clinical microbiology laboratories worldwide routinely report pathogen identification and antimicrobial susceptibility results of diagnostic samples, but typically only to the patient's health-care provider. Only a small proportion of these data are subsequently reported to national authorities to support public health objectives and action. Recognising the richness of data generated through routine diagnostic testing facilities and the potential for geographically comprehensive and real-time alerts for emerging resistance threats, in 2015, WHO established the Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (GLASS) to promote a standardised approach to the collection, analysis, and sharing of antimicrobial resistance data at the global level, including modules for routine reporting and reporting of emerging antimicrobial resistance, thereby informing global action plans on antimicrobial resistance.4WHOGlobal antimicrobial resistance surveillance system (GLASS). World Health Organization.https://www.who.int/glass/en/Date accessed: July 15, 2020Google Scholar 91 countries and territories now participate in GLASS,5WHOGlobal antimicrobial resistance surveillance system (GLASS) report: early implementation. World Health Organization, 2020https://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/332081Date accessed: July 15, 2020Google Scholar with data sharing becoming increasingly acceptable. However, all microbiology laboratories and surveillance sites have yet to be enrolled to ensure comprehensive data collection, and data sharing is not in real time. Automation and digitisation are central to empowering data use, and technological capacity can be best leveraged when standardised data from many sources are collated and analysed. This approach allows the detection of dangerous outbreaks and open sharing of genetic information from pathogenic organisms as well as providing evidence to policy and decision makers to inform public health responses. Such surveillance offers unparalleled opportunities to create a global infrastructure comprising collaborating clinical, public health, academic, and research laboratories as the basis of a microbial sensor network for data sharing, analysis, notification, and response by pre-designated responders.6O'Brien T Stelling J The world's microbiology laboratories can be a global microbial sensor network.Biomedica. 2014; 34: 9-15PubMed Google Scholar However, challenges remain in the technical and legal ability to achieve such data sharing mechanisms, particularly in the context of LMICs. Clinicians and scientists might not be able to share clinical, routine diagnostic, and genomic data effectively because of inadequate infrastructure, workforce capacity, or legal frameworks. Uncertainties over data ownership, authentication, and validation can present further barriers to effective data sharing, especially with the diverse teams of professionals mobilised in response efforts.7Yozwiak NL Schaffner SF Sabeti PC Data sharing: make outbreak research open access.Nature. 2015; 518: 477-479Crossref PubMed Scopus (92) Google Scholar As highlighted by the well publicised retraction of published studies due to concerns regarding data validity and integrity, data authentication and validation are an important challenge. Another challenge is protecting intellectual property, particularly concerning new discoveries, research publications, and secondary use of data. Standard mechanisms for data users to credit data providers are required,7Yozwiak NL Schaffner SF Sabeti PC Data sharing: make outbreak research open access.Nature. 2015; 518: 477-479Crossref PubMed Scopus (92) Google Scholar along with appropriate agreements ensuring patient confidentiality and data use. Many public health and governmental agencies rely on manual efforts to gather, structure, and submit data, resulting in incomplete and missing information and therefore loss of data integrity and an inability to predict and map infection surges. In the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, novel approaches have been explored, such as e-signatures and e-consent for clinical trials and the collection and biobanking of residual human biological material obtained during routine clinical care, which could serve as a useful model for expansion.8Bagiella E Bhatt DL Gaudino M The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on non-COVID-19 clinical trials.J Am Coll Cardiol. 2020; 76: 342-345Crossref PubMed Scopus (32) Google Scholar Nevertheless, automation of data aggregation (eg, with dashboards for test availability, bed occupancy rates, and ventilators) to monitor the response to outbreaks is challenging, particularly in LMICs with limited resources. Real-time data sharing is not free of drawbacks and can be misused, particularly during conflicts of interest, political disputes, and trade tensions. An automated approach requires strong and shared transparency. Thus, boosting trust between countries, nations, and international bodies is crucial. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic can act as a transformation catalyst for global health, accelerating the implementation and adoption of changes in public health interventions. Economic and structural barriers to transformation will be softened, allowing new models of health-care delivery to emerge with more emphasis on preventive measures, remote care, and technology-enabled data sharing. Compulsory powers in response to public health emergencies are justified under a common legal and ethical standard, taking into account the risk of the pathogen to the individual and the general population, the incidence rate and transmission mode of the pathogen, the effectiveness of available public health interventions, and the availability and type of clinical treatments. In the case of emerging crises, as in the case of COVID-19 when the science is uncertain, adoption of the precautionary principle is reasonable to ensure public safety. The global nature, scale, and rapidity of spread across nations, continents, and the globe will require international collaboration to assess these measures on their timing, effectiveness, and resource implications; whether the nature of the measures and their implementation was proportionate to the risk; whether the health and legal assessments of the partial scientific evidence were successful; and the effect of sovereign nations adopting different approaches on the extent of international spread of COVID-19.9Jazieh AR Kozlakidis Z Healthcare transformation in the post-coronavirus pandemic era.Front Med. 2020; 7: 429Crossref Scopus (33) Google Scholar This assessment of COVID-19-related responses should be integrated into the wider discussion of high-quality health systems.10Kruk ME Gage AD Arsenault C et al.High quality health systems in the Sustainable Development Goals era: time for a revolution.Lancet Glob Health. 2018; 6: e1196-e1252Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (1242) Google Scholar High-quality health systems represent a new generation of health systems that are judged primarily on their effects, including the equitable distribution of improved health, the confidence of people in the system's efficacy, and the system's wider economic benefit. In addition to these strong foundations, health systems need to develop the capacity to measure and use data to learn, including surveillance data that can inform the emergence of or response to infectious diseases. Public health's scope of responsibility is increasing along with the technological solutions that might support a more prescient public health policy. A new expression of global health policy that is data-driven needs to emerge, strongly intertwined with surveillance, infection control, and policy making to optimally combat existing and future pandemics. With the economic consequences of a global pandemic now evident, the political will to invest in a new vision of public and global health has never been more important.

Saudi Arabia hosted this virtual summit to leverage the role of digital health in the fight against current and future pandemics. Opportunities and challenges for telehealth within, and beyond, a pandemicThe COVID-19 pandemic is unlike any previous pandemic. The ubiquity of international travel, the ease of transmission of the virus, and symptom variability have resulted in an unprecedented rate of spread. The need for physical distancing has also led to the rapid adoption of telehealth solutions globally. Full-Text PDF Open AccessApplications of predictive modelling early in the COVID-19 epidemicOn Jan 30, 2020, WHO declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, a month after COVID-19 was identified in Wuhan, China. By this point, several mathematical and computational models had already raised the alarm about the potential for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to cause a global pandemic and the dire consequences for public health should drastic action not be taken. During the emergence of a novel pandemic, predictive modelling is important in public health planning and response. Full-Text PDF Open AccessCommunicating in a public health crisisDespite previous pandemics and reports on pandemic preparedness,1 many countries struggle to prevent and manage public health emergencies.2 A key component of an effective pandemic response is communication between governments, health professionals, scientists, the media, and the public.3 Full-Text PDF Open AccessDigital public health and COVID-19Digital public health refers to the use of technology, new types of data, and new ways of working that come with digitisation of public health and associated data. Data have been central to public health ever since John Snow used maps and case reports to identify the Broad Street pump as a source of cholera in London in 1854.1 Even today, data are just as central to public health, and digital technology provides new ways to collect data through efficient administrative interfaces, sensors, and non-traditional sources such as social media; new ways to link different data sources to generate new insights; and new ways to visualise and analyse data.

In the Lancet Series on Canada's global health role (April 28, p 1736),1Nixon SA Lee K Bhutta ZA et al.Canada's global health role: supporting equity and global citizenship as a middle power.Lancet. 2018; 391: 1736-1748Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (28) Google Scholar Stephanie A Nixon and colleagues perpetuate liberal myths about Canadian nation-building and foreign policy, proffering an uncritical historical assessment of the country's global health involvement. Particularly egregious is the argument that Canada needs to return to the imagined post-war glory days, when core values of health equity and diversity purportedly directed foreign policy. The authors ignore the fact that global health policy has long been compelled by political–economic imperatives that prioritise commercial interests, such as the 1950 Colombo Plan.2Dmitrienko KA Birn AE Juggling demands: Canadian health aid to Latin America since World War II.Can J Public Health. 2006; 97: 12-17Google Scholar By highlighting Canada's largely biomedical global health contributions, the Nixon and colleagues also negate a 21st century health axiom: health is profoundly determined by sociopolitical and environmental structures.3WHOClosing the gap in a generation: health equity through action on the social determinants of health.

Global health equity demands more than aspirational narratives and meek apologies. A bona fide contribution would entail exposing the full range of Canadian policies' deleterious effects on health in order to reverse them. We declare no competing interests. Canada's global health role: supporting equity and global citizenship as a middle powerCanada's history of nation building, combined with its status as a so-called middle power in international affairs, has been translated into an approach to global health that is focused on equity and global citizenship. Canada has often aspired to be a socially progressive force abroad, using alliance building and collective action to exert influence beyond that expected from a country with moderate financial and military resources. Conversely, when Canada has primarily used economic self-interest to define its global role, the country's perceived leadership in global health has diminished. Full-Text PDF Canada's global health roleThe Lancet Series on Canada's global health role1 provides an analysis of Canada's global health leadership, including in research and innovation. However, the authors do not cite the available evaluations of the programmes they compare, particularly the Global Health Research Initiative2 and Grand Challenges Canada.3 The evidence from these evaluations reach a different conclusion than the authors' opinion that suggested the Global Health Research Initiative had initial success that should have been continued, and that there were mixed views about Grand Challenges Canada's impact (appendix). Full-Text PDF Canada's global health role – Authors' replyKarlee Silver and colleagues highlight two reports about Canadian funding programmes for global health research that we did not include in our analysis of Canada's role in global health.1 We thank them for bringing attention to these two reports. One report assesses the Teasdale-Corti Global Health Research Partnership Program (in a largely negative light)2 and the other assesses Grand Challenges Canada (in a largely positive light).3 We note the Teasdale-Corti programme as one of many Canadian contributions to global health, and outline the history and mission of Grand Challenges Canada in a single paragraph.

Box 3354 MBC 58, Riyadh 11211, Saudi Arabia Search for more papers by this author Published Online:1 May 2003https://doi.org/10.5144/0256-4947.2003.116SectionsPDF ToolsAdd to favoritesDownload citationTrack citations ShareShare onFacebookTwitterLinked InRedditEmail AboutIntroductionIn the midst of a world fearful of bioterrorism, a mysterious disease swept through East Asia. The illness first appeared in late 2002 in Guangdong Province in Southern China. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) named it SARS—severe acute respiratory syndrome—an unusual, atypical pneumonia that as of May 31st had infected 8360 persons in 32 countries and caused 764 deaths (case fatality proportion, 9%). Medical personnel, including physicians, nurses, and hospital workers, are among those commonly infected. SARS is the first major new infectious disease of this century, and SARS is taking full advantage of opportunities provided by world international travel. For this issue of the journal, Dr. Al-Ateeg, of the Health Programs Sector of the Institute of Public Administration, has written a comprehensive review of the evolution of this emerging disease. He summarizes what has been learned about SARS in the span of just a few months.Researchers initially thought the epidemic might be linked to small outbreak of a virulent bird flu (strain H5N1) that killed a man from Hong Kong in February 2003 and sickened his 9-year-old son. But no link was found. On March 24th, scientists at the CDC and the University of Hong Kong announced that a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV) had been isolated from a patient with SARS. The entire genome of this virus has been sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis and sequence comparison showed that this novel virus is not closely related to any of the previously characterized coronaviruses. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay detected SARS-CoV ribonucleic acid (RNA) in half of the nasopharyngeal specimens from aSARS patient. Rising antibody titers to the virus were noted in all 32 SARS patients from whom second serum specimens were obtained. Viral RNA was also found in 10 of 18 fecal samples from SARS patients. The virus has produced SARS in monkeys.The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that the research group in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China detected several coronaviruses closely related genetically to the SARS-CoV in two animals species (masked palm civet and raccoon dog) taken from a market. One additional species (Chinese ferret badger) also elicited antibodies against the SARS coronavirus. Sequencing of viruses isolated from these animals demonstrated (with the exception of a small additional sequence) that the viruses are identical with the human SARS virus, but more research is needed before any conclusions can be reached as to the potential role of animals in the transmission of SARS to humans.No treatment has been identified. A regimen of ribavirin, oseltamivir, and steroids is potentially useful, but unproven. Some 3C proteinase inhibitors have shown promising in vitro activity, but there are no 3C proteinase inhibitors licensed for human use. Researchers are already working on a potential vaccine, but until that effort comes to fruition the only means of controlling the current epidemic is to block the transmission of infection. If public health officials can identify people infected with SARS and isolate them for an appropriate time, the cycle of transmission can be broken. If it is not, there is a possibility that SARS will establish itself in communities. If that occurs, we will have to cope with it for a long time. Voluntary isolation and quarantine are a great inconvenience, but they are currently our best tools to save lives.SARS has taught us two important lessons. Diseases are not necessarily geographically exclusive; global travel can facilitate the spread of deadly diseases from the South to the North within hours. And, the entire world can unite against a disease threat. In the 1980s, it took two years to identify HIV as the cause of AIDS. In 2003, a network of 13 laboratories in 10 countries created by WHO was successful in identifying the SARS virus and its entire genome in four weeks. However, despite our scientific and technological advances, sobering questions remain: Are we fast enough? Will SARS be contained in China? Can we prevent a global pandemic of SARS? There is optimism, but the outcome cannot be predicted.ARTICLE REFERENCES:1. Pouteanen SM, Low DE, Henry B, et al.. "Identification of severe acute respiratory syndrome in Canada" . N.

Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are not thought of as unavoidable random occurrences or “accidents” anymore. Public health practitioners deem RTAs preventable and predictable since they are usually caused by avoidable and anticipated human behaviors. Although prevention of automobile crashes showed huge success in road traffic injury control history, RTAs are still considered a major public health concern globally. In Saudi Arabia, injury is the leading cause of mortality. The number of registered vehicles is continuously expanding all over the world and in Saudi Arabia. The rise in demand for emergency medical services (EMS) in Saudi Arabia is associated with increasing number of RTAs. This escalation of RTAs is of profound public health significance and has been considered by the Saudi government, but little improvement was made. EMS in Saudi Arabia faces a number of issues. One issue is the lack of effective trauma systems. Trauma is the number one killer in Saudi Arabia, yet the country lacks sufficient trauma centers. One significant component of trauma system is pre-hospital care, where first responders drive to the scene, assess patients, and transport them to the hospital emergency department (ED). Since EMS is a timely service that requires prompt response, the handover of patients from paramedics to ED clinicians is very critical and requires a lot of attention. In Saudi Arabia, the EMS response time is affected by a number of factors including the lack of sufficient communication at both ends (EMS, and hospital staff), clear guidance, standardized protocols, and regulations. Patient handover is considered a “high-risk” process, and is associated with serious adverse events. Therefore, good communication between ambulance staff and ED clinicians is required. In this paper, I will discuss patient handover models and compare them to the model used in Saudi Arabian EDs, in order to design and recommend a patient transition model that improves the EMS process in Saudi Arabia.

Work-related safety and health in Saudi Arabia is an area that always have full consideration from the governmental and nongovernmental official to ensure the protection and health safety to all Saudi Arabia workers . The main objective of Saudi Arabia government is the promotion of safe and healthy work environment; the Saudi government views this as moral religious obligations to provide the protection of all workers and others stakeholders in the work related issues. The work safety and health in Saudi Arabia should have many organization and groups cooperate among them to accomplish three main different objectives: a) the protection and promotion of workers’ health and working capability; b) the enhancement of working environment and work to become more safe and healthy; c) Create work groups and working traditions to ensure the safety at workplace. All of this will help develop a new and encouraging social environment which eventually will increase the efficiency of the Saudi workforce.

Tobacco use is a major threat to public health and if current consumption patterns remain unchanged, it will result in one billion deaths in 21st century [1]. A combination of public health efforts in recent years has resulted in a general decline in the prevalence of tobacco use worldwide; however, the total number of smokers has increased due to population growth [2]. Furthermore, the most poor, marginal, and vulnerable sections of the society have not benefitted from such efforts and hence tobacco consumption remains high in these groups leading to devastating consequences and rising health inequalities [3, 4]. These include those with low socioeconomic status, homeless people, indigenous and minority ethnic groups, and patients with debilitating conditions such as tuberculosis, HIV, and mental disorders. This is particularly devastating as their disadvantage increases their likelihood of consuming tobacco as a “coping strategy” and, subsequently, their tobacco use increases their disadvantage through poor health, less money for essentials, and economic burden [1]. In order to achieve further decline in global tobacco consumption, tobacco control communities need to focus their efforts on reducing tobacco-related health disparities. There are a number of potential barriers to such efforts. Firstly, we understand very little about how exposure to disadvantaged circumstances shapes smoking careers throughout the life course [5]. Secondly, measures such as socioeconomic status are often not included in the evaluation of tobacco control interventions. Thirdly, tobacco control interventions are often not tailored to the particular needs of disadvantaged populations. Finally, tobacco control policy is generally not linked to policies to tackle social determinants of health [6]. It is, therefore, not a surprise that, apart from taxation measures, tobacco control interventions appear to have very little effect on reducing health inequalities [7]. In this special issue, we have included eleven research articles that help to expand our understanding of social disparities in tobacco use and highlight the need for progressive approaches to tackle these.
Three studies by M. Lund, N. J. Grills et al., and F. Janssen and F. van Poppel remind us of the role of education, occupation, and gender in determining the course of tobacco epidemic. In a study of 1,200 Norwegian smokers that used successive cross-sectional data, M. Lund demonstrated a strong association between low levels of education and high levels of cigarette consumption, dependence, and lack of intention to quit. In another large study of tobacco prevalence and attitudes from North India, where nearly 70% of men are tobacco users, N. J. Grills et al. identified a range of educational and occupational disparities in tobacco use. Applying a historical perspective, F. Janssen and F. van Poppel examined gender differences in smoking adoption patterns in Netherlands and found that these differences played a major role in differences in life expectancy and smoking related cancer mortality between men and women.
Two other studies by K. A. Vickerman et al. and R. Hiscock et al. examined the distribution and determinants of low cessation rates in tobacco quitline programme in three USA states and in English Stop Smoking Services, respectively. In the USA-based study, K. A. Vickerman et al. followed up 3,262 clients for a period of seven months and found that the self-reported quit rates among those with one or more than one mental health condition were lower than those without. Authors concluded that, for those with mental health conditions, cessation programmes such as quitline need to be tailored accordingly. In the UK-based study, R. Hiscock et al. identified some important factors, which contribute to lower cessation rates among smokers who belong to lower socioeconomic status. Material factors, such as housing tenure, along with social factors and use of cessation medication were identified as significantly associated with smoking abstinence among this group.
In a series of three studies, A. Singh et al., M. Jawad et al., and M. Jawad et al. examined noncigarette forms of tobacco, a neglected but important topic from the perspective of vulnerable populations. In a secondary analysis of Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) 2009-10 data, A. Singh et al. demonstrated that in India social gradient for tobacco use changes with the type of tobacco products where cigarette smoking is common among wealthier individuals while bidi smoking and smokeless tobacco are common among impoverished and less educated. The other two studies focused on waterpipe smoking, a traditional form of tobacco smoking in Middle East and South Asia but a relatively modern trend among young people in Europe and USA. In a qualitative study, M. Jawad et al. assessed the impact of health warning labels on waterpipe. The findings highlights that noncigarette forms of tobacco may not be as sensitive to existing tobacco control legislation as cigarettes, and in attempt to address disparities we may need to adapt our interventions accordingly. In the other paper by M. Jawad et al., the longitudinal analysis of a simple social media campaign gives us insight into how disparities in intervention effects can be unique to different social media platforms. The description of a low-resource social media campaign may be a valuable tool for those wishing to embark on mass media campaigns for further tobacco control interventions.
Two of the studies included here by A. J. Saari et al. and A. H. Al-Zalabani et al. remind us of the importance of adolescence in establishing tobacco-related norms. In a longitudinal study in Finland, A. J. Saari et al. showed the predictive effect of low self-esteem during adolescence on subsequent smoking behaviours during adulthood. In another school-based survey in Saudi Arabia, A. H. Al-Zalabani et al. demonstrated a considerable high prevalence of second-hand smoke exposure among adolescents, which was strongly associated with the smoking behaviours of their parents, peers, and other family members.
Finally, in a systematic review examining the epidemiology of tobacco use among khat users, S. Kassim et al. emphasize the high prevalence of tobacco use among people who chew khat, a socially acceptable mild amphetamine popular in parts of the Middle East and East Africa. Not only does this remind us that risk behaviours come in tandem, but also the review provides interesting hypotheses about the synergism that khat plays in the dependence profile of tobacco users.

Title: Needs Assessment for Developing a Doctorate of Clinical Psychology Program in Saudi Arabia
Introduction: There are a number of challenges in Saudi Arabia regarding developing higher health standards and particularly psychological services. There are challenges in existing psychological training, but also a significant lack of learning from Western standards in psychological work both academically and clinically. Objectives: This study has two primary aims: (1) to examine the attitude of local practicing physicians (who are working with psychologists) towards the current psychologists? work and towards establishing a Doctorate of Clinical Psychology program; and (2) to explore the needs for such a program to have culturally relevant content and competencies to meet local needs and enhance general professional competencies. Methods and Participants: The sample of participants consisted of 73 (54 male [74%] and, 19 female [26%]) practicing physicians in Saudi Arabia. Participants ranged from 29 to 59 years of age (M…

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a major tropical infection of public health importance. It is caused by a group of protozoan intracellular parasites. Several factors contribute to the prevalence and transmission of CL. More than 1400 cases of CL were reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012. Although several studies have looked at CL in Saudi Arabia and emphasized on the Eastern province of the country, the highest prevalence of CL was reported in Al- Quaseem area. In this review, we report on the species of Leishmania parasites causing CL in Saudi Arabia, its distribution and its incidence in the past seven years. We also report on the methods used to diagnose this infection and the treatment protocols used to treat CL in the country.

Obesity is a fast growing health problem that is reaching epidemic proportions in many countries, including Saudi Arabia. In accordance with the recommendations of the Science and Technology National Policy in Saudi Arabia and based on the huge impact of obesity on the Saudi society, we established a comprehensive research center, the Obesity Research Center (ORC), to study the complex problem of obesity. The strategic objectives of the ORC are to execute a multidisciplinary research program on obesity syndrome, to support state-of-the art education and training on research for Saudis and to increase public awareness for obesity. We will present here the successful story of the ORC emphasizing its role in the implementation of an efficient health plan to combat obesity and its related diseases in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Cooperation Council countries. This would also provide a practical model for the foundation of similar centers in developing countries.

The aim of this narrative review is to investigate and summarize studies conducted for prevalence of glaucoma in Saudi Arabia. Search criteria were; published studies after theyear of 2000 and included Saudi population. Any studies that focused on subtypes of glaucoma and their relations with other ocular conditions were excluded. There were three studies that estimated the prevalence of glaucoma in Saudi Arabia. The prevalence reported in these studies ranged from 5.4% to 5.8%. However, these studies were conducted in specific regions and did not represent the national prevalence of glaucoma in Saudi Arabia. It was concludedthat there is a high demand for accurate estimate for the national prevalence of glaucoma in Saudi Arabia. Accurate estimate of prevalence and epidemiology of glaucoma leads to constrain the challenges of glaucoma as a public health concern in Saudi Arabia.

The dissemination of information via social media is important, particularly during a public health emergency. However, while it is undoubtedly useful in the targeting of genuine health communications, social media may also be used to spread health-related misinformation at times of disease outbreak or pandemic. The study presented here researches the spread of COVID-19 misinformation in Saudi Arabia, by exploring the relevant understanding, attitudes, and behaviors of Saudi Arabian citizens. The current study comprises a survey of 318 adults in Saudi Arabia, of all age groups and educational backgrounds, and from all Saudi Arabian provinces. This study highlights the significance of COVID-19 misinformation and concludes that, despite risks to public health and wellbeing, Saudi Arabian citizens do not consider COVID-19 misinformation to be a significant problem. Participants in this study were relatively aware of such misinformation and its dangers, but it did not greatly concern them, and generally they declined to tackle it proactively.

As an initial step towards diversifying Saudi Arabia economy, the kingdom is focusing on the development and improvement of all public services through technology especially the health sector to meet the standards of the western world. We discuss the progress of the health informatics education globally with the main focus on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. For this purpose, we survey all academic institutions with their levels of education and found that only 9% of the 109 academic institutions offered specific programs in Health Informatics. While we focus on Saudi Arabia, we also gather information on courses per AMIA identification for Saudi academic institutions.

Background: In March 2020, the first case of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia was confirmed. In reaction to the outbreak, Saudi Arabia ordered the closure of the majority of governmental and private services. Technology and digital solutions have made it possible to provide essential services after the implementation of these severe protection requirements. Objective: This study aims to show how Saudi Arabia used digital technology during the COVID-19 epidemic in the fields of public health and health care services, and shedding insight on the efficacy of digital transformation in Saudi Arabia for preventing the spread of Covid-19. Methods: Using public announcements, press briefings and releases, news clips, published statistics, peerreviewed literature, and professional debates, we documented Saudi Arabia's usage of digital technologies throughout the epidemic. Results: The government and business sectors of Saudi Arabia jointly created and released around 19 applications and platforms that support public health duties and offer health care. Detailed descriptions of each are given. Companies in the telecommunications industry collaborated well and took steps to assist continuing efforts. Using social media, websites, and SMS text messages, risk communication initiatives adhered to best practice guidelines. Conclusions: An important step toward digital transformation has been taken by Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 framework. This shift was made possible by COVID-19. For future epidemics in Saudi Arabia, artificial intelligence might be used to integrate data from several sources. Reducing the number of applications and combining their operations may also boost and make it easier for people to utilize them.

The consumption of energy drinks (EDs) by young people has become a public health concern: United Kingdom (UK) and Saudi Arabia are in the top 10 countries by per capita ED consumption. This study investigated the prevalence of ED consumption and the health and behavioural outcomes among young people by ED consumption in two culturally diverse areas: Wales and Riyadh. A mixed-method design involving cross-sectional studies of young people was used: the Welsh
Health Behaviour of School Children (N = 112,045) survey and a cross-sectional survey conducted in Riyadh (N = 2,000). A qualitative study explored the attitudes and perceptions of young people residing in Saudi Arabia.
ED consumption was prevalent in Riyadh; 52.5 % reported regular consumption compared to 40% in Wales. In both Wales and Saudi Arabia, ED consumption was positively associated with eating an unhealthy diet (Wales: OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.07; Saudi Arabia: OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.53 to 1.86), nicotine use (Wales: OR 4.66, 95% CI 4.35 to 5.00; Saudi Arabia: OR 5.91, 95% CI 3.47 to 10.07) and negatively associated with eating breakfast (Wales: OR 0.87, 95% CI 0.86 to 0.88; Saudi Arabia: OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.83 to 0.95) and feeling low, irritability and nervousness
(Wales: OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.93 to 0.99; Saudi Arabia: OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.93 to 0.99). Qualitative data indicated that most of the young people in Riyadh had little knowledge about ED active ingredients and associated health outcomes. Results indicated that the availability, affordability and marketing of EDs, along with peer pressure, play a fundamental role in the decision to consume EDs. Since most of the participants reported regular consumption of EDs and acknowledged feeling some adverse health outcomes, there is a public health need to reduce the consumption of EDs.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a common disease in Saudi Arabia. As most cases of tuberculosis are due to reactivation of latent infection, identification of individuals with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) who are at increased risk of progression to active disease, is a key element of tuberculosis control programs. Whereas general screening of individuals for LTBI is not cost-effective, targeted testing of individuals at high risk of disease progression is the right approach. Treatment of those patients with LTBI can diminish the risk of progression to active tuberculosis disease in the majority of treated patients. This statement is the first Saudi guideline for testing and treatment of LTBI and is a result of the cooperative efforts of four local Saudi scientific societies. This Guideline is intended to provide physicians and allied health workers in Saudi Arabia with the standard of care for testing and treatment of LTBI.

The Hajj pilgrimage is one of the largest annual mass gatherings in the world, and has been held for a long time. This study presents an overview of a systematic research of published literature on the Role of the Governments of Indonesia and Saudi Arabia in organizing of the Hajj pilgrimage from 2015 until 2021 Period, with the aim of providing policy recommendations for the future. From this research, it can be concluded that the implementation of Hajj pilgirmage in Indonesia is strongly influenced by the bilateral relations between the two countries. This can be seen from a historical perspective, since Indonesia's independence there were quite a lot of pilgrims from Indonesia. The relationship between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia has been established from colonial era until now. In the future, bilateral relations between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia in the context of organizing the Hajj will continue to be intensified. Considering that for the past 2 years, Indonesia has not sent hajj pilgrims due to the pandemic, as well as Saudi Arabia which has not opened its doors for hajj pilgrims outside of Arabia for 2 years, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia good governance diplomacy is the solution for better implementation of the Hajj Pilgrimage in the future.

According to the World Health Organization Saudi Arabia has the second highest diabetes rate in the Middle East and ranks seventh globally. Around 7 million people are diabetic, and almost 3 million have pre-diabetes, according to estimates. Perhaps even more concerning is the recent increase in diabetes cases reported in Saudi Arabia. In fact, diabetes has risen by ten times in Saudi Arabia during the last three centuries. Diabetic foot ulcer is the leading source of morbidity and prolonged hospitalization, with approximately twice the likelihood of amputations compared to ulcers that are not infected. Diabetic foot ulcer affects 6.3% of the world's population, with men being more prone to developing them. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about rates of amputation among diabetics in Saudi Arabia. Even though diabetes is a significant public health concern in the Middle East and North Africa area, with high incidence of diabetic foot problems, data on prevalence and mortality among this high-risk group is scarce. As the prevalence of the diabetes is increasing in Saudi Arabia so are the diabetes related complications and diabetic foot complications are becoming more common as well. To analyse the existing condition and audit the ongoing prevention programs, large community-based surveys must be conducted. Efforts must be made to minimize the risk of amputation as well as fatalities among diabetic foot problems patients.

Objectives This study aims to describe the common myths and misconceptions in addition to the perception and attitudes toward coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines in the Saudi Arabian community. Methods This is a cross-sectional study that included adults (18 years and older) residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Participants were asked to complete an online survey that evaluated their perception and attitudes toward the available COVID-19 vaccines in Saudi Arabia. Statistical comparison between two groups and more was done using chi-square, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA. Results A total of 471 responses were analyzed with a majority (83.2%) believing that vaccinations are important. The vaccine preferred among the Saudi Arabian population was Pfizer (65.4%). More than half of our respondents (54.8%) strongly agreed that COVID-19 vaccines can reduce the severity of the COVID-19 infection. Respondents in the healthcare sector were significantly more likely to have a more positive view on vaccines compared to those in non-healthcare sectors (p < 0.001). Conclusion The Saudi Arabian population has shown substantial awareness about COVID-19 vaccines; however, public health officials need to further increase awareness measures on COVID-19 vaccines to limit myths and misconceptions, especially among certain populations that are more prone to it.

Objective Inborn errors of metabolism are a significant public health problem in Saudi Arabia. Incidence is estimated to be 5 times higher than in the US. Adherence to a special diet is essential for management of phenylketonuria (PKU) in order to prevent developmental disability. Our aim is to identify risk factors that lead to inadequate control over PKU and its diet for patients at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre in Saudi Arabia to improve nutritional management. Methods Qualitative study: assessed nutritional knowledge, attitudes and practices: 5 interviews and 2 focus groups with health care providers; 6 interviews with patients; and 17 interviews with families. Quantitative study: anthropometric measurements, dietary intake, phenylalanine blood levels, developmental assessments, and questionnaires with 40 PKU patients and their families. Results Major qualitative themes: lack of sufficient services; limited dietary knowledge; limited resources; social and emotional attitudes towards diet and compliance. Quantitative initial results Of the 40 patients 62% have developmental disabilities ranging from mild to severe. This is due to delayed diagnosis (77%), poor compliance (92%), limited knowledge or a combination of these. Conclusion In Saudi Arabia targeted nutrition management programmes need to be developed to support patients and their families. Education and metabolic care services need major improvements to be able to deliver optimal care.

On 7 Aug 2020, the Department of Disease Control, the Thai Ministry of Public Health, was notified of 14 COVID-19 cases from Saudi Arabia. The objectives of this study were to verify diagnosis, describe characteristics of the cases and identify possible causes of infection. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted by reviewing the cases’ medical records, interviewing the cases and state quarantine staff, and surveying the environment. A confirmed COVID-19 case was defined as a passenger in a flight from Saudi Arabia on 25 Jul 2020 with positive RT-PCR. Out of 219, 14 were infected with SARS-CoV-2. Most of them were Thai students in Saudi Arabia. The median age of cases was 26 years and male to female ratio was 13:1. The median RT-PCR cycle thresholds for ORF1ab and N genes were 36 and 35. The state quarantine process mainly followed the national guidelines. These cases were likely to have contracted COVID-19 from Saudi Arabia. The risks of infection in Saudi Arabia included living together in the same dormitory and visiting crowded areas. The introduction of state quarantine and COVID-19 testing worked well in preventing new cases. The government should communicate with people planning to travel about the importance of physical distancing and avoiding any risk behaviors while being abroad.

The SARS-CoV-2 is mutating persistently with the newer variant, Omicron infecting many countries including Saudi Arabia. There are concerns regarding the efficacy of the existing treatment and vaccinations in this context. Although the Saudi ministry has issued selected exemptions, public awareness about the need for social distancing, masks, and personal hygiene is key to prevention. COVID-19 booster doses are freely available and easily accessible in Saudi Arabia, and the Ministry of Health (MOH) has underlined the importance of the booster dose vaccine to maintain active immune status in the Tawalkana App, the Saudi Arabian government’s frontline application for managing and combating the pandemic. Moreover, their official website has established forty distinct guidelines for tackling COVID-19. The MOH of Saudi Arabia has also implemented an effective COVID-19 treatment protocol with strict governmental surveillance enabling them to be among the first to lift COVID-19 preventive measures and serve as a role model for others. Nevertheless, considering limited research data, further studies are necessary for the in-depth evaluation of new variants, including Omicron, and their potential implications.

Childhood obesity is a concerning trend and represents one of the most significant challenges to public health worldwide. Childhood obesity in Saudi Arabia has become a significant concern for scholars and healthcare professionals. An extensive amount of research has been conducted to identify the most effective interventions to prevent childhood obesity in light of its prevalence, health consequences, and associated costs. Studies indicate that identifying and addressing obesity-related behaviours can be valuable for developing and implementing effective interventions and prevention measures to mitigate childhood obesity in Saudi Arabia. It has been shown that obesity-related behaviours can be changed through school-based health promotion interventions. Therefore, the present review summarises the current evidence on childhood obesity, including its prevalence, health consequences, and obesity-related behaviours in children and adolescents in Saudi Arabia. In addition, it aimed to determine the scope of school-based health promotion efforts in Saudi schools to reduce childhood obesity. Keywords: Childhood Obesity, Overweight, Children, Adolescence, Health Promotion, School, Saudi Arabia

The Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes-Stuttering (POSHA-S) was used to measure the attitudes of the general population in Saudi Arabia toward people who stutter (PWS) and to identify the predictors of the overall stuttering score (OSS).A total of 404 adults from Saudi Arabia (16.8% male and 83.2% female) completed an online POSHA-S questionnaire.The attitudes of adults in Saudi Arabia were similar to those of other samples worldwide. Working status, income, and multilingualism were substantial predictors of the OSS.Saudi adults have positive impressions, beliefs, and self-reactions to PWS. However, their knowledge of stuttering tends to be limited. Therefore, campaigns conducted to raise awareness of stuttering should adopt the most widely used sources of knowledge in the Saudi Arabian community (i.e., the Internet and social media). Sociodemographic variables predictive of positive versus negative OSS include working status and multilingualism. Unpredictive variables, that do not predict positive versus negative OSS, include age, gender, education, parental status, health, abilities, and income.

Dengue fever is a global disease with a spectrum of clinical manifestation ranging from mild febrile disease to a severe disease in the form of dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. Dengue virus is one viral hemorrhagic fever that exists in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in addition to Alkhurma (Alkhurma) Hemorrhagic Fever, Chikungunya virus, Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, and Rift Valley Fever. The disease is limited to the Western and South-western regions of Saudi Arabia, where Aedes aegypti exists. The majority of the cases in Saudi Arabia had mild disease and is related to serotypes 1-3 but not 4. The prospect for Dengue virus control relies on vector control, health education, and possibly vaccine use. Despite extensive collaborative efforts between multiple governmental sectors, including Ministry of Health, Ministry of Municipalities and Rural Affairs, and Ministry of Water, dengue remains a major public health concern in the regions affected.

In recent years, precision medicine has increased public awareness, particularly since 2020, when the COVID-19 epidemic struck almost every country in the world. Saudi Arabia is one of the affected countries, and this public health issue has affected many aspects of the country, including some key decision making in political, economic, healthcare and other major sector. Saudi Arabia is a country with the largest oil export in the world, and controlling the second largest oil reserves and the fourth largest gas reserves in the world, all these significant advantages make it occupy an important position in international relations. However, these advantages have also been a problem in the national development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. For example, the revenue of the nation is too dependent on oil, resulting in uneven industrial development. With the launch of Saudi Vision 2030, the government shows its ambition in non-oil sectors and the nation also shows high interest on healthcare sector, such as precision medicine. In order to analyse the investment feasibility in precision medicine related projects in Saudi Arabia, data from different directions, such as political, economic, social and technological factors have been analysed.

Background: Each year, tobacco kills more than 8 million people. More than 7 million of these deaths are due to direct tobacco use, while 1.2 million are caused by non-smokers exposed to secondhand smoke. The Ministry of Health (MOH) has increased its efforts toward combating tobacco consumption in Saudi Arabia. This study objective is to measure the publics&apos; knowledge in Saudi Arabia about the various smoking cessation resources and services offered by the MOH. Methods: A link to a cross-sectional online survey was distributed to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, residents on social media platforms in January 2022 (n = 415). Survey questions were adapted from the Global Tobacco Surveillance System. The data were analyzed using Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences software (v22.0). Results: A total of (n = 319) responses were analyzed. Current tobacco smokers represented 60% of them. The smokers were composed of 75% of males and 25% of females who consumed tobacco. Despite a large number of the respondent being smokers, there were inadequate levels of knowledge about the various smoking cessation services offered by the MOH (40.9% of the respondents acknowledged the services provided, and 53.5% were neutral regarding these services). Conclusion: Despite the MOH&apos;s efforts to provide numerous smoking cessation services, there remains a lack of knowledge amongst the population of Riyadh. This can slow the MOH efforts toward decreasing smoking rates amongst the population in Saudi Arabia; more efforts are needed to raise awareness of these services in Saudi Arabia.

There is a growing body of literature that recognises the importance of curriculum in promoting extracurricular activities and physical education. Promoting physical activity in high schools helps to reduce the rates of obesity in addition to eliminating risk factors for other ailments associated with the lack of physical activity, such as cardiovascular diseases. Recent evidence suggests that a school’s curriculum is the best vehicle for delivering physical education for school going children at all academic levels. However, research has consistently shown that in order to reap maximum benefits, teachers conducting physical education must balance physical education time so that they can avail sufficient time for physical activities. Furthermore, teachers and leaders of academic institutions are advised to lead by example, thus entailing the promotion of habits that encourage healthy lifestyles, such as eating healthy foods and doing physical exercises on a regular basis, preferably, in the company of children. The issue of obesity has grown in importance recently in Australia as policymakers report that Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) especially in secondary schools is not enough to reduce the rates of obesity (Ward-Begnoche, Gance-Cleveland, Harris, & Dean, 2008). One observer has previously drawn attention to the paradox of physical education and physical activity in high schools. Physical education requires sufficient time to be spent lecturing students on the health benefits of exercise, yet simultaneously, competes with the time allocated to exercise. However, in the Saudi Arabian context, a major obstacle is that there is no clear promotion of physical activity and healthy eating habits to high school students, something that has significantly contributed to rising rates of obesity in secondary schools. Investigating the role of curriculum in reducing the high rates of obesity in Australia and Saudi Arabia is a continuing concern for key educational policy makers as they continue to make persistent efforts to reduce this condition. A much-debated question is whether PDHPE is indeed promoting physical activity and healthy eating in schools. Previous studies of the role of PDHPE in reducing obesity in Australia and Saudi Arabia have not dealt with a number of environmental and social changes which have limited children’s access to safe places where they can walk, play, and bike. In Saudi Arabia, for example, there are numerous traffic dangers in the neighbourhood in addition to the lack of proper sidewalks for children to ride bicycles to and from school. This decrease in active transport for children in Saudi Arabia has contributed to the high levels of obesity being experienced right now. This paper attempts to show that curriculum plays a vital role in reducing the rates of obesity in secondary schools and will compare the literature that reports the effects of physical education in Australia and Saudi Arabia in reducing the rates of obesity.

This study employs the Walt and Gilson Policy Triangle Method to analyse the mental health policy in Saudi Arabia and explore the position of gender equality within the content context, process and development of mental health. Four relevant articles were reviewed, focusing on policy development, legislation, human rights, financing, organisational integration, and women's mental health challenges. The national mental health policy in Saudi Arabia highlights access to care, quality of services, awareness, prevention, and family support, with 4% of the healthcare budget allocated to mental health services. However, gender-specific needs and experiences of women may need to be adequately addressed. Contextual factors such as cultural norms, religious beliefs, and gender segregation shape mental health policy in Saudi Arabia. The process of policy development involves collaboration between the Ministry of Health and various stakeholders, incorporating international guidelines. The study also underlines the Transformational Plan of Saudi Vision 2030 and its influence on mental health policy. However, gender equality actions are not explicitly addressed in the current policies. The research shows the need for comprehensive policy improvements to ensure gender equality in mental health care and provide appropriate support for women's mental health needs in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Drug Information Centers (DICs) and Drug and Poison Information Centers (DPICs) in Saudi Arabia are pharmacy-based departments that provide drug information services for prescribers and or public. We sought to evaluate their current role in handling poisoning cases.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of all DICs and DPICs in Riyadh and included 17 potential respondent centers. We developed a brief questionnaire with nine questions about DICs and DPICs resources.Results: The response rate was 82%. Most responding centers provide service only during daytime hours. Three provide services on weekends, and five have staff on-call after business hours. Handling poisoning cases is not available in five centers and found to be minimal among all other centers.Conclusion: DICs and DPICs provide limited poison information services in Saudi Arabia. In accord with the current Vision 2030 reform effort, establishing comprehensive poison control center services is a necessity for the health care system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Diabetes is the most frequently encountered endocrine disorder in pregnancy and is associated with adverse outcomes. Despite the urgent need for interventions to improve the outcomes for pregnancies complicated with diabetes, and the consistent recognition of preconception care as an effective intervention, there has been lack of systematically produced evidence to support it.
My first publication (Preconception Care for Diabetic Women for Improving Maternal and Fetal Outcomes: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis) was the first systematically produced high level evidence addressing the effectiveness and the safety of all aspects of preconception care. This publication had high impact on practice and research evident by the incorporation of its findings in clinical guidelines and the number of times it was cited in the literature. My second publication (Pre-pregnancy care for women with pre-gestational mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis) was designed for deeper analysis of the safety of preconception care.
The third and the fourth publications addressed the prevalence of pre-gestational and gestational and the rate of complications associated with in pregnancy in Saudi Arabia and contributed to the quantification of in pregnancy as a public health in the country. These two publications provided important information, considering that there was paucity of publications about in pregnancy in Saudi Arabia for more than a decade, and they gave the needed evidence to revise the hospital policy for screening and management of in pregnancy as well as the implementation of preconception care for women with pre-existing diabetes.
My fifth publication investigated an important clinical intervention for pregnant women with which is induction of labour. Similar to the second and third publication there was paucity of information about the indications and the determinants of successful induction of labour in Saudi Arabia. This publication was the first to address this important intervention in the practice of obstetrics in general and in the specific management of women with diabetes.
Thus my work in diabetes in pregnancy as a clinical and public health problem provided an important evaluation of interventions at the clinical and public health levels and important information for the management of diabetic pregnant women in Saudi Arabia and across the world.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a critical public health issue in Saudi Arabia, where it is the leading cause of death. The economic burden of CVD in the country is expected to triple by 2035, reaching $9.8 billion. This paper provides an overview of CVD in Saudi Arabia and its risk factors, impact on healthcare, and effects on patients' quality of life. The review emphasizes the potential of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs in addressing the CVD epidemic. CR programs have been shown to reduce morbidity, mortality, and hospital readmissions while improving patients' cardiovascular health and overall well-being. However, these programs are underutilized and inaccessible in Saudi Arabia. The paper highlights the urgent need for CR programs in the country and suggests key strategies for implementation. These include increasing patient referrals, tailoring programs to individual needs, enhancing patient education, and making CR accessible through home-based options. Fostering multidisciplinary collaboration and developing tailored guidelines for Arab countries can further enhance the impact of CR programs. In conclusion, this review underscores the vital importance of comprehensive CR programs in Saudi Arabia to combat the rising CVD burden, improve patient quality of life, and align with the goals of the Saudi 2030 Vision for a healthier society.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of health care professionals on the early detection of breast cancer.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Jeddah and Abha regions of Saudi Arabia from May to November 2009. A detailed questionnaire was distributed to 500 doctors from different hospitals. The questionnaire contained items on the practice of clinical breast examination and mammogram examination, and the doctor's perception of their roles in education.
RESULTS: The results of 337 questionnaires analyzed indicated that most health care professionals do not practice clinical breast examination and mammography, and the perception of their roles in education is not as expected.
CONCLUSION: Health care providers are one of the main barriers in improving early detection of breast cancer in Saudi Arabia. There is a need to increase awareness among health care providers of their role in the fight against breast cancer through focused education and training programs

Objective: To study epidemiological trends related to cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Al Hassa, an endemic area in Saudi Arabia. Methods: This retrospective study included the spatial/ temporal analysis of the reported cases of CL using the available surveillance database for the disease at the regional Vector Control Unit, from 2000 to 2010. Results: The incidence of CL was declining at a stable rate especially during the last 3 years of the study (2008-2010). An interesting finding was the percentage of expatriates affected was increasing over the last 10 years compared to that of the Saudis. Conclusions: A definite declining trend in the incidence of CL was observed in Al Hassa. Further studies are warranted to assess whether special public health measures are needed for better control of CL in expatriate populations in Saudi Arabia.

The annual pilgrimage to Makkah is the largest congregation of people
in the world. It is a fertile area for the propagation of communicable
diseases. This mass gathering unless controlled poses a dangerous health
threat not only to Saudi Arabia but also to the countries from which the
pilgrims come from and the countries they transit on their return
journey.

There is a lack of Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) and Master of Public Health (MPH) dual degree programs in Saudi Arabia. This study aims to examine current pharmacy students' perceptions regarding establishing such a program and the perceived limitations and advantages of pursuing such a degree. We conducted a cross-sectional web-based short survey to assess the feasibility of establishing a PharmD/MPH dual degree program in several randomly selected pharmacy schools in Saudi Arabia. Our cohort consisted of 657 students. Almost 56% were males, and nearly 58% were fourth-year pharmacy students. Close to 85% had a "very well" or "well" understanding regarding the pharmacist's role in the public health area, and almost 70% stated that they see themselves playing a role in public health as a future pharmacist. Nearly 93% reported that they are either "very likely" or "likely" to enroll in such a program if given the opportunity. Almost 80% felt it would increase their job opportunities. On the other hand, close to 70% felt it would increase workload and stress. This study highlights pharmacy students' positive perceptions regarding establishing a PharmD/MPH dual degree program in Saudi Arabia. The study results could be utilized as the starting point to propose and establish this program to health education policymakers in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Constipation remains a persistent health problem, most associated with lifestyle habits, and is challenging to diagnose worldwide. There is a paucity of studies exploring constipation and risk factors in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of constipation among the Saudi population. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 219 individuals aged 18-30 from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, using the Cleveland Clinic Constipation Score. Results: Findings showed that most participants were female (54.3%) and in the 22-25 age group (55.9%). The prevalence of 13.2% and female gender (65.5%), eating junk food, drinking less water, and fiber-deficient food intake are key factors related to higher constipation prevalence. Conclusion: The prevalence of constipation among young adults in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is high, despite being similar to locally and internationally reported prevalence rates. Therefore, public education and awareness campaigns are recommended to tackle this problem.

Rationale and Objectives: Hemoglobinopathies are among the most commonly inherited genetic disorders in humans and are considered as a major public health problem in Saudi Arabia. The prevalence of hemoglobinopathies is a severe health threat to the society and future generations if the assessment of hemoglobinopathies in pre-marriage cohorts is not monitored. The purpose of this study is to analyze the type of hemoglobinopathies in relation to age, gender and genetic mutations and to assess the prevalence of hemoglobinopathies in pre-marriage cohort. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study including a sample of 7054 patients who are older than 14 years (i.e. age ≥ 14 years) and were diagnosed with hemoglobinopathies. This study includes adults of both genders (male and female) from pre-marriage screening cohorts at King Abdul- Aziz Medical City, Ministry of National Guard – health affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Patients were analyzed over a period of 4 years i.e. 2013 o 2017. Results: The comparative analysis of patient’s clinical characteristics were recorded and among 7054 patient sample, 3822 (54.2%) were male while 3232 (45.8%) were females. The results of the proposed study showed that Saudi Arabia has a high prevalence rate of Sickle Cell Anemia (30.7%) and β-thalassemia (12.8%). The sickle cell trait was the most repeated hemoglobinopathy in this research. Conclusion: According to the results of this cohort study Β-thalassemia and SCA are the most common hemoglobinopathy disorders in Saudi Arabia with a higher prevalence. In countries with a high prevalence of hemoglobinopathies, premarital screening is helpful for identification and prevention of high-risk marriage challenges. There is need for preventive measures and future comprehensive program with reference to the management, diagnosis and prevention of β-thalassemia and sickle cell diseases among patients in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract Introduction Patient involvement in care is a major component of high quality of care and is becoming recognized worldwide with many beneficial for improving patient outcomes. However, a little is known about patient involvement in the Middle East region and Saudi Arabia in particular. Objectives To evaluate patients’ perceptions of their involvement during their interactions with healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia. Methods A qualitative exploratory study using semi structured interview was conducted from February 2022 to March 2022. Responses were transcribed and analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. Results We conducted seven interviews with patients with diabetes ranging in age from 19 to 69 years old. We identified the following themes:1) patients’ perceptions of their involvement in care, 2) barriers to patient involvement, 3) effective communication, 4) empathy, and 5) culture. We found that patients had minimal knowledge of patient involvement in care. Conclusion There is a clear need to improve education and awareness of patient involvement in Saudi Arabia. By educating patients about the possibilities of patient involvement and explaining their role it will make it easier for patients to understand appropriate levels of involvement. In addition, there is a need to understand the patient-centred care culture in Saudi Arabia through establishing frameworks with the focus on culture and patient-centred healthcare delivery.

The Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a novel virus which was first isolated in April 2012 from a patient with severe acute respiratory infection in Jordan. As of September 7, 2013, there have been 114 cases of laboratory-confirmed infection with MERS-CoV in the Middle East (predominantly Saudi Arabia) and Europe, including 54 deaths. All reported cases outside of the Middle East have occurred in recent travelers to the Middle East or their close contacts, and the majority of fatalities have occurred in individuals with underlying medical conditions. Much remains unknown about the epidemiology of MERS-CoV, including the exact mode of transmission, number of asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic cases, and presence of an animal reservoir. Transmission seems to occur primarily among household contacts and has also been reported in health care facilities, including an outbreak with 23 confirmed and 11 probable cases in four health care facilities in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia during April and May 2013. The incubation period of MERSCoV is thought to be up to 14 days, which can facilitate spread of the virus when infected individuals travel prior to becoming symptomatic. At present, there is no available vaccine for MERS-CoV, and treatment consists of supportive measures only. However, due to lack of sustained transmission in communities, the World Health Organization (WHO) does not consider MERS-CoV to be a public health emergency at this time. The Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia is one of the largest mass gatherings in the world, drawing more than three million Muslims from around the globe each year. Transmission of communicable diseases during mass gatherings such as the Hajj has become an increasing concern, as such gatherings bring individuals from all over the world into close contact for days at a time. In fact, “mass gathering medicine” has recently emerged as a medical specialty focused on preventing and treating illness and injury during such events. In order to prevent transmission of communicable diseases during the Hajj, the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health currently requires certain vaccines (for yellow fever, meningococcal meningitis, and poliomyelitis) depending on a traveler's country of origin. Influenza vaccination, strict attention to personal hygiene (especially handwashing and cough etiquette), and avoidance of unnecessary contact with animals are also strongly recommended. Despite reassurance by the WHO that the risk of infection with MERS-CoV among those traveling to Saudi Arabia this October for the Hajj is very low, there remains significant concern among the international community about the poDepartment of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, Weill Cornell, Medical College, New York, NY, USA

The adoption of health information technology is seen worldwide as one method to reduce the widening health care demand and supply gap. The purpose of this paper was to identify the current state of the health information technology in public hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The goal was to analyze the implementation outcomes from Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) by using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. A comprehensive literature review of peer-reviewed articles was undertaken to identify the current state of knowledge related to the implementation of health information technology in Saudi Arabia and the wider medical fields. This paper examines the extent of HIT on EMRs adoption in Saudi public hospitals by using a case study approach. The study is based on two case studies Ohud hospital and King Fahad hospital in Madinah, Saudi Arabia. In-depth interviews were used with health professionals and administration staffs. The secondary date was collected from annual reports; workshops reports, reviews, and websites. The primary results were introduced under four factors which are Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), the social influence (SI) and Facilitating Condition (FC). The main result, there is entirely agreements between both cases study there was not model to adopt the EMRs.

<h3>Background</h3> Drug shortages are a major public health concern and remain a persistent problem worldwide. Saudi Arabia is one of the richest and fastest growing countries in the Middle East. Despite that, Saudi Arabian drug markets are not immune to drug shortages. Although exact figures about drug shortages in Middle Eastern countries in general and in Saudi Arabia, in particular, are lacking, there is an emerging yet still limited number of reports about the drug shortage. It is, however, a fact that the drug shortages are affecting the Middle East in general and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) in particular. At the time we conducted this project, the Saudi Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) had not yet fully activated and implemented its role in tracking drug shortages and the role of other regulatory bodies were either outdated or unknown. Healthcare is one of the main focus areas of Saudi Vision 2030, which represents a comprehensive plan for the entire economic structure of Saudi Arabia. In order to ensure the Saudi Vision 2030 becomes reality, we should focus on more efficient use of our current resources. Based on that, we identified an innovative solution at the national level to collaborate and cope with the current situation by developing a centralized Medication Exchange and Sharing Network Program (MESNP). <h3>Methods</h3> A quality improvement process map method was used for this project. Baseline evaluation included a review of possible reasons and strategies to manage medication shortages, recognize potential associated safety issues, and we developed MESNP as a national novel project to cope with medication shortages using a telegram as the preferred social media platform for group creation and communication. <h3>Results</h3> A total of 500 reports were received. The majority of reports (70%) were raised by the Ministry of Health (MOH). A number of reports constituted requests for drug supplies due to shortages (n=315) and reports indicating the availability of overstock items for redistribution (n=185). Almost 98% of overstocking drug reports were redistributed, which covered 75% of drug shortage requests. <h3>Conclusion</h3> We believe that this is the first national novel project aiming to address drug shortages. The optimistic findings of this project were the proactive identification of data and development of a framework to collect data about national drug shortages to facilitate the medication exchange and sharing between organizations to prevent drug wastages and shortages for better patient care.

The objective of this study is to analyze the gross domestic product (GDP) and its impact on the expenses on the development of human resources and the community health in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia period 2000/2017. In fact, the GDP has been used as a separate variable while the expenditure on both the human resource development and community health in Saudi Arabia is used as a follow-up variable. an analytical prescriptive approach has been followed concluding that there is a strong moral effect of spending on human resource development as a percentage of GDP amounted to 1.03. In fact, through a descriptive analytical approach, this study concluded that there is a relationship with a strong moral impact of spending on both human resource development, as a proportion of the gross domestic product, and health, as a percentage of GDP amounted to 1.09.. The study also recommended the increase of the general public spending on human resources, as a percentage of local production and the increase of the proportion of public spending allocated to community health and localization of treatment within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Abstract: Background: The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is a public health emergency and constitutes a challenge to psychological health. This study aimed to assess the psychological conditions among university students in Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methods: During the period between the 4th and 18th of June 2020, the students at Umm AlQura University in Saudi Arabia were invited to complete an online survey. The survey assessed their sociodemographic characteristics, educational disciplines, and manifestations of depression, anxiety, and stress as determined by the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). Results: The study included 936 students. Of them, 41.1% had depressive symptoms (31.7% mild to moderate and 9.4% severe to very severe), 26.9% had anxiety symptoms (15.8% mild to moderate and 11.1% severe to very severe), and 22.4% had stress symptoms (15.2% mild to moderate and 7.2% severe to very severe). Students who reported having a friend or relative infected with or died from COVID-19, watching or reading news about the pandemic ≥2 hours/day, and not having emotional support from family, university, and society were more likely to show psychological problems. Conclusion: Symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress were common among Saudi university students. Psychological counseling and support should be provided to university students in Saudi Arabia. Keywords: Depression; Anxiety; Stress; COVID-19; University students; Saudi Arabia

Smoking is the most important avoidable cause of premature morbidity and mortality in the world. The estimated annual death rate of 4.9 million people in 1999 is expected to rise to 10 million by the 2020s and 2030s, 7 million of which will occur in developing countries. The present study aims to determine the factors of smoking among the Saudi youth in the Northern Border Region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, besides studying the impact of Smoking on expenses, savings and smoker sensitivity to price. Moreover, the study assessed the effectiveness of Tobacco Control Program. Across-Sectional study was conducted of 1022 among the secondary schools students 656 for males, Northern Border University students 139 for males, Northern Border University students 153 for females and 74 for cafe visitors. The qualitative data was collected from focus group discussions and interviews. Results revealed that prevalence of smokers was 24.7%, 38.1%, 9.8% and 70.3% for the four groups of youth respectively. The most common reason for initiating smoking among youth groups was being the frequent contact with others with following proportions: (65.5%) for secondary school students, (74.3%) for male university students, (82%) for cafe visitors. In contrast the most common reason for female university students to smoke was feeling comfort (41.7%). Regarding the effectiveness of the Tobacco Control Program (41.4%) of the overall smokers think that the program is effective. Smoking is high among the youth in the Northern Border Region, Saudi Arabia. Interventions are needed to decrease the prevalence of smoking in Saudi Arabia.

<h3>Background</h3> HealthMap.org is an online platform that collects, filters and maps reports of infectious diseases globally through scanning the web, in particular social media, for infectious disease reports in multiple languages (currently English, Arabic, Vietnamese, Chinese and French).Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Corona virus (MERS-Cov) is a novel virus that was first identified in Saudi Arabia in mid-2012. Since then there have been over 1,000 cases (as of April 2015) in 22 countries (including the Philippines, Malaysia, UAE, UK and France). 974 of these cases have been in Saudi Arabia. However very little s understood about the epidemiologic profile of this virus. <h3>Objectives</h3> To understand the epidemiologic spread and charecteristics of the outbreak including, rproductive number, charescteristics of primary and secondary infection cases.To demonstrate the use of publicly available data in identifying, tracking and studying emerging infectious diseases. <h3>Methods</h3> Data curation, mining and verifying reports and outcome data for individual case reports of MERS infection in Saudi Arabia, from Saudi Ministry of Health, WHO and within the Arabic language social media. Data was curated for variable information including, report date, date of diagnosis, location, age, gender, contact with livestock (specifically camels), co morbidities and case outcomes. Currently using the data to conduct R0 analysis, univariate and survival analysis. <h3>Result</h3> Data has yielded several exploratory results, particularly concerning demographics; currently MERS infection in Saudi Arabia yields a 43.8% case fatality, 28.3% of cases have been nosocomial infections and 65.1% of cases have been male. We have also observed a slight rise in the number of sporadic cases after an outbreak in the spring of 2014, as compared to before the outbreak. However more detailed analysis has yet to be published. <h3>Conclusion</h3> The use of online platforms presents a great oppertunity for the accumalation of high resolution, publicly avalable data for the tracking and study of novel infectious diseases, ultimately to inform natinal and international efforts to contan and combat outbreaks.

After the discovery of the first Corona case in Saudi Arabia in 2012, it became a government priority to provide accurate information for the local and the international community. The disease which has influenza-like symptoms requires surveillance in order to know how to direct resources to where it is needed. Big Data has been successfully used in disaster management and in reporting wildfires in the US. By applying this framework, real-time insight to the status of the spread of the disease can deliver invaluable information that can be used in saving lives. This paper proposes a Big Data framework for collecting Health Informatics and it's accompanying analytical framework for the purpose of reporting on influenza and Corona cases in the Saudi Arabia.

FILLING THE GAPS IN SAUDI ARABIA’S HEALTH SERVICES
This article outlines the strides taken by Saudi Arabia since 1980
towards providing primary health care for the entire population. Basic
facilities have been introduced in accessible locations, more personnel
have been trained and retrained, and considerable attention has been
given to the education of the public in health matters.
Before 1951 there was no adequate tradition of health care in Saudi
Arabia, and not even a Ministry of Health. During the next 30 years or
so the major objective of the Ministry of Health was to establish
hospitals, dispensaries and other curative facilities. Due to an acute
shortage of qualified personnel there was a great dependence on
expatriates to formulate plans and objectives. Much emphasis was put
on founding sophisticated medical institutions for the provision of
secondary and tertiary care. By 1980 there were enough institutions of
this kind to cover most of the population.

Monkeypox, a zoonotic disease caused by the Monkeypox virus, has emerged as a potential threat with pandemic potential in various regions. While it is challenging to predict specific outbreaks, understanding the factors contributing to Monkeypox’s pandemic potential is important. This discussion paper explores the future risks and preparedness measures concerning Monkeypox in Saudi Arabia. The study reviews the past and current knowledge on the Monkeypox outbreak, including its clinical presentation, transmission dynamics (animals-to-humans and humans-to-human), epidemiology, and diagnostic methods. Furthermore, it explores the potential risk factors for the spread of Monkeypox within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, mainly in the Saudi Arabian context, considering factors such as urbanization and travel and trade patterns. The paper emphasizes the importance of early virus detection, surveillance systems, and laboratory capacity in vaccinating and responding to Monkeypox cases. Additionally, it highlights the future risks and preparedness in Saudi Arabia and the usage of social media during the pandemic seeking support and awareness about Monkeypox, and it also highlights the need for effective communication strategies of leaders through social media channels to disseminate accurate information to the public, healthcare providers, and policymakers. The discussion concludes by calling for collaborative efforts among health authorities, researchers, and international medical partners to enhance surveillance, develop outbreak response plans, and ensure the availability of vaccines and treatment options. This research serves as a foundation for guiding future preventive measures and strengthening the overall preparedness of Saudi Arabia in facing the potential emergence of Monkeypox as a future pandemic.

Introduction Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common global health issue, yet awareness and knowledge about UTIs among the general population can vary widely. This study aimed to assess the awareness, knowledge, and attitudes regarding UTIs among Saudi Arabian citizens residing in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among Saudi Arabian citizens aged 18 and above residing in Alhassa. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on participants' awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and experiences related to UTIs. Data were analyzed using IBM® SPSS® Statistics. Results The study included 445 participants, predominantly males, with 279 (62.7%) and a range of educational backgrounds. Approximately 302 (70.1%) of the participants were aware of UTIs. However, misconceptions about the definition of UTI and its risk factors were common. Most participants recognized bacteria as the primary cause of UTIs, with 261 (58.7%) identifying this factor. Symptoms such as painful urination were recognized by 390 participants, which is a significant proportion. When experiencing UTI symptoms, 285 (66.1%) indicated they would go to the hospital. Significant associations were found between awareness, knowledge, and socio-demographic factors. Conclusion This study highlights the need for increased awareness and knowledge about UTIs among Saudi Arabian citizens in Alhassa. Tailored educational interventions are essential to correct misconceptions, promote accurate risk factor awareness, and encourage appropriate management strategies. Public health campaigns can contribute to reducing the burden of UTIs in the community.

Background: Lifelong ickle cell disease (SCD), a group of inherited blood disorders, afflicts millions of individuals. Sickle cell disease (SCD), with a global prevalence of 112 cases per 100,000 individuals, frequently gives rise to this condition. Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) exhibits a high prevalence in various regions, including Sub-Saharan Africa, Saudi Arabia, India, South and Central America, as well as the Mediterranean. We conducted a study in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia to assess the level of public knowledge and awareness of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). Methods: The present study employed a cross-sectional observational design, encompassing a sample of 386 individuals residing in Tabuk, who were over the age of 18 and represented both genders and various nationalities. Demographic data and sickle cell disease awareness were obtained through the utilization of a structured questionnaire that was developed from previous research. Results: The present study included a total of 386 adults residing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, who satisfied the predetermined inclusion criteria. Among the participants, 47.4% fell between the age range of 18 to 25 years. The majority of participants had a satisfactory level of knowledge, with 24.1% of individuals aged 18-25, 10.1% of those aged 26-35, 7.3% and 6.55% of individuals aged 36-45, and a significant proportion of participants aged over 45. Conclusion: The survey participants demonstrated a satisfactory degree of understanding on the prevalence of sickle cell disease (SCD) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

The 2013 Hajj (Muslims’ annual pilgrimage to Mecca) was marked by an outbreak of the middle-east respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in Saudi Arabia. In response to this threat, the Ivoirian health authorities carried out campaigns to inform and sensitize future pilgrims. Before departure to Saudi Arabia, a survey was conducted among the pilgrims to assess their level of knowledge about MERS-CoV as well as their perception concerning the risks of the illness. A cross-sectional study was carried out from September 19 to 29, 2013 at the Riviera Golf Mosque in Abidjan, a large gathering point for Hajj pilgrims. The sample size was estimated using a sampling rate of 10% on an estimated population of 4,500 pilgrim’s. 460 respondents were selected using simple random sampling. A logistic regression analysis was carried out using SPSS software. Overall, 255 (55.4%) people had knowledge about MERS-CoV. Among those aware of MERS-CoV, 63.5% (162) expressed fear of contracting the illness during the Hajj. In a multivariable analysis, factors significantly associated with the fear of contracting MERS-CoV were sex (OR=0.4; CI 95% = 0.225-0.723) and participation in a MERS-CoV sensitization campaign in Saudi Arabia (OR=1.80; CI 95% = 0.980-3, 270). Ivoirian hajj pilgrims expressed great fear about contracting MERS-CoV.
Key words: Knowledge, middle-east corona virus, Hajj.
