Africa accounted for a quarter of all new TB cases worldwide in 2022 and has been at the center of many efforts to eradicate TB [1]. Since 1990, the continent has seen rapid urbanization, with 0.5 billion more people now living in urban areas [9]. While population density is generally associated with easier geographical access to health services, rapid urbanization is also intrinsically associated with socioeconomic disparities, including the development of crowded townships [10].

Since over 18% of the estimated 2022 global population was in Africa [12], this suggests either a truly lower incidence or conspicuous underreporting. Childhood brain/CNS tumors were more commonly reported in Africa, with 14.2% incidence rates (IRs) of new global brain/CNS tumor cases and 16.9% of deaths reported in 2022 for children aged 0-18 years old [11,12]. An additional source of underreporting of brain and CNS tumors in Africa is the scarcity of well-established tumor registries [9,10].

Cross-border movement has been identified as an important factor in COVID-19 transmission in Eastern and Southern Africa, and most countries in the region have restricted entry to reduce virus importation. However, the region’s economy and social fabric are dependent on the cross-border movement of goods and people, and it was anticipated that border closures would have the same, if not greater, impact than COVID-19 [1,2].

The main objective of this review is to examine available evidence regarding birth attendants’ experiences with upward referral systems in emergency obstetric care in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) since the inception of the SDGs. Based on the objective of this review, the following research questions have been developed:
What are the publication characteristics of evidence on upward obstetric referrals?
What are the experiences of birth attendants regarding upward obstetric emergency referrals in LMICs?

Maternal mortality is a critical public health issue, particularly in low-resource settings like sub-Saharan Africa, which accounts for over three-fourths of global maternal deaths [1]. Despite progress in reducing adverse maternal outcomes in countries like Ethiopia, high maternal mortality ratios persist, largely due to gaps and stockouts of essential supplies for managing obstetric emergencies [2,3]. Inadequate supplies for basic emergency obstetric care (BEm OC) can lead to delayed or suboptimal care.

Natural Language Processing Technologies for Public Health in Africa: Scoping Review
In practice, NLP-driven tools have already shown promise in Africa. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Whats App chatbots in South Africa, Rwanda, and Senegal were used to disseminate reliable information and facilitate rapid COVID-19 testing, while a Telegram-based chatbot in Ghana was developed to combat misinformation and provide accurate data to the public [18].

Over the past decade, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has seen a substantial rise in the number of people with access to digital technologies. Digital transformation has made a stark difference for previously disenfranchised communities, especially in the field of financial services [1].
One technology that stands out is mobile money, which allows the creation of bank accounts and enables financial transactions using unstructured supplementary service data codes without requiring an internet connection [1].

For example, over 80% of all adolescents living with HIV are in Sub-Saharan Africa [4], which also has the highest prevalence of adolescent pregnancy globally [5]. Melesse et al [6] conducted a review of demographic and health survey data from 33 African countries and reported that despite improvements in SRH among adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa, young people in this part of the world continue to have disproportionately high rates of unwanted pregnancies and STIs (including HIV/AIDS).

The dual benefit of interrupting prolonged sitting and encouraging transitioning between sitting and standing during class to mitigate the long-term risks to cardiometabolic and spinal health holds significant public health potential in resource-limited contexts, such as South Africa.

Other methods include phone surveys that have been increasingly popular, given the high rates of mobile phone ownership globally despite a relatively lower penetration rate in Sub-Saharan Africa (50%) [3]. Phone surveys with live interviewers can be effective but come with several challenges including the cost of hiring and training interviewers. They are also time-consuming for large samples and are prone to social desirability bias and to interviewer variability and bias [4,5].
