Traditional Medicine in Contemporary Equatorial Guinea's Healthcare Systems
type: item
description: Traditional medicine plays a significant role in healthcare systems across Africa, including Equatorial Guinea. A comprehensive search strategy was employed to identify relevant literature using various databases and academic sources. Studies published between and were included, focusing on the integration, efficacy, and challenges of traditional medicine within modern healthcare systems in Equatorial Guinea. Traditional medicine is widely practiced and utilised by a substantial portion (68%) of the population for various health conditions. However, there are significant gaps in formal recognition and regulation, with only 25% of practitioners having any form of official certification. While traditional medicine contributes substantially to healthcare access, its role is underrecognized and unregulated. There is a need for improved integration and standardization within the healthcare system. The government should develop policies that recognise and support traditional medicine while ensuring safety standards are met. Collaboration between traditional healers and modern healthcare providers is essential for effective service delivery.

Analysing Early Childhood Development Programmes’ Impact on Reducing School Dropout Rates in Ethiopia
type: item
description: Early childhood development (ECD) programmes are interventions designed to support children's cognitive, social-emotional, and physical development from birth to age five. In Ethiopia, despite significant efforts in ECD, school dropout rates remain high among early learners. The study employed an RCT design with pre- and post-intervention assessments to measure changes in children's developmental outcomes. A total of 500 schools were randomly assigned, with half receiving ECD programmes and the other half serving as controls. Children who participated in ECD programmes showed a statistically significant improvement in cognitive skills (p < 0.01) compared to those without such support. The findings suggest that ECD programmes can effectively mitigate school dropout rates by enhancing children's foundational learning and social-emotional competencies. Public health authorities should prioritise funding for integrated ECD services, especially in underserved regions of Ethiopia. Schools and communities must be involved to ensure the sustainability of these initiatives.
