3 FACTORS AFFECTING THE NATION s HEALTH I. PHYSICAL / ENVIRONMENTAL Source : Aynalem Adugna Yemane Berhane, Damen Haile Mariam, Helmut Kloos (eds.) Epidemiology and Ecology of Health and Disease in Ethiopia. Shama Books. Addis Ababa. Ethiopia. Consideration of physical/biotic factors allows understandingof : o The Suitability of vector/agent habitat: vegetation, soil, rock- type, etc. for transmission of diseases o Toxicity and chemical composition of soil, rocks, and water. o The role of climatic and geologic events and disasters such as floods and draught. o The role of the physical environment in determining agricultural productivity, food security, etc. o Man-made changes to the environment and its impacts on the ecology of diseases and the carrying-capacity of land o The role of plants, and plant products in utilization of traditional medicine :

4 The Health Impacts of Topography Altitude and Geology o Living in highland plateaus over 2000 mt may be affecting hemoglobin content and Oxygensaturation o Depletion of fertile volcanic soil due to erosion caused by over population has triggered out-migration to the low lands with major health implications CLIMATE

5 o Kolla risk of heat- stroke, vector habitat o Dega and Woyna Dega acute respiratory diseases, vector/agent habitatintensity and duration o Temperature - Kolla C -Woyna Dega C - Dega C o Rainfall : Variability of rainfallhas contributed to frequent food shortages and famines that have been recorded for hundreds of years Variability in rainfall amounts makes the prediction of transmission patterns and intensity of malaria, trypanosomiasis meningiococcal meningitis, diarrhoea, and other water- related diseases difficult and at times impossible AIR QUALITY The use of fuel wood and dung in rural Ethiopia is responsible for very high levels of indoor pollution. Additionally, increasing automobile traffic and industrialization, together with persistent reliance.. on firewood for household use and Addis Ababa s location between mountains on three sides is largely responsible for high air pollution levels in this city

6 WATER AND SOIL o The 12 major river basins carry about 110 billion cubic meters of water in the highlands annually across deeply incised valleys towards the low-lying peripheries and neighboring countries o The gradients of most rivers andstreams is steep and their currents correspondingly strong, affecting the habitats of vectors. o Other water-related health issues include, contamination by human and animal waste, infection risks associated with standing water used in irrigation schemes, and the agricultural impacts of massive top-soil loss due to erosion of fertile volcanic soil from the highlands and its deposition in the lowlands, or in neighboring countries with serious consequences for land productivity, food security, and nutritional content.

7 Examples of the importance ofsoils in disease transmission include verisols in the highland plateaus of Ethiopia with a tendency toform deep cracks when dry making them an excellent habitat for phlebotomous flies transmitting leishmaniasis VEGETATION Long histories of settlement, massive deforestation, recurrent draughts, wars, villagization under the Derg regime, and resettlement have reduced Ethiopia s forest cover to only 3% of areas in the West and Southwest with serious implications for biodiversity, climate change, sustainabledevelopment and attendant health consequences. BIO DIVERSITY Introduction of genetically engineered grain crops from North America as part of food aid programs constitutes a potential threat to the biodiversity of Ethiopian crops and thereby, its food security.

8 BIO DIVERSITY Contd. The need to preserve aspects of of indigenous Ethiopian land use practices is increasingly being recognized with several advantages over recently introduced conservation measures. The advantages include its compatibility with local environment,land use, the farming system and objectives of the farming community but also its ease of implementation and gradual adoption by farmers on an incremental basis. II ECONOMY A country s level of economic development has significant impacts on the health of its citizens. Conversely, the health of its citizens determines the overall health of theeconomy. The impact on economy happens inthree important ways: 1. Loss of production by sick individuals as a result of decreased working capacity, and absenteeism. 2. The opportunity costs of people involved in caring for the sick 3. Countries with higher disease burden are forced to manage morbidities and disabilities by shifting resources that would have been invested in other productive activities

9 The country s per capita income of $590 is substantially lower than the regional average (source: Gross National Income, Atlas Method). The government aspires to reach lowermiddle income status over the next decade. The economy has experienced strong and broad-based growth over the past decade, averaging 10.8% per year in 2003/ /15 compared to the regional average of 5.4%. The expansion of services and the agricultural sector account for most of this growth, while manufacturing performance was relatively modest. Private consumption and public investment explain demand-side growth, with the latter assuming an increasingly important role in recent years. Economic growth brought with it positive trends in poverty reduction in both urban and rural areas. While 55.3% of Ethiopians lived in extreme poverty in 2000, by 2011, this figure was reduced to 33.5%, as measured by the international poverty line of less than $1.90 per day. The government is currently implementing the second phase of its Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP II). GTP II, which will run from 2015/16 to 2019/20, aims to continue improvements in physical infrastructure through public investment projects and transform the country into a manufacturing hub. The overarching goal is to turn Ethiopia into a lower-middle-income country by Growth targets are comparable to those under the previous plan, with annual average GDP growth of 11%; in line with the manufacturing strategy, the industrial sector is slated to grow by an average of 20%.

10 WATER Accessibility to Improved Water Sources Nearly all urban households in Ethiopia (97%) have access to an improved source of drinking water. Only 57% of rural households have such access. The phrase Improved sources of drinking water is a reference to the availability of piped water, stand pipes, public taps, boreholes, tube wells, protected dug wells and springs, and rainwater. Households using bottled water for drinking are classified as using an improved source only if the water they use for cooking and hand washing comes from an improved source. Some of the findings from the 2016 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) on this subject include : o Fetching drinking water is an additional chore that could be of great cost to household members o More than half of rural households (53%) travel 30 minutes or longer round trip to fetch drinking water o In both rural and urban households, adult women are most likely to be responsible for fetching drinking water (17% in urban households and 68% in rural households). o In rural areas, female children under age 15 are three times more likely than male children in the same age group to fetch drinking water (13% versus 4%).

15 SANITATION Accessibility to Improved Sanitation Improved toilet facilities Include any non-shared toilet of the following types: flush/pour flush toilets to piped sewer systems, septic tanks, and pit latrines; ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrines; pit latrines with slabs; and composting toilets. DHS 2016, Page 10 Overall, 6% of Ethiopian households use improved toilet facilities (16% in urban areas and 4% in rural areas). More than half (56%) of rural households use unimproved toilet facilities. More than one-third (35%) of toilet facilities are shared in urban households, whereas only 2% of rural households share their toilet facilities with other households. One in three households in Ethiopia have no toilet facility (39% in rural areas and 7% in urban areas).

19 HEALTH AND DISEASE IN ETHIOPIA HEALTH SERVICES and Health Indicators Health Policy : The country s national health policy is based on the principles of democratization and decentralization of the health cares system with primary focus on preventive, promotive and curative health services for the population. Private and nongovernmental organizations are encouraged to participation in the health sector. Five-year plans : The health sector follows five-year rolling plans which started in 1997/1998 with three consecutive plan phases completed so far. The country is and currently implementing the fourth comprehensive Health Sector Development Program (HSDP) with Wereda health offices managing and coordinating the operation of the Wereda health system under their jurisdiction. Source: : Adugna The health system has had a huge transformation over the past two decades, with a dramatically improved potential access to care through the accelerated expansion of health facilities. An innovative community-level health service, the Health Extension Programme was introduced by training and deploying female health extension workers and institutionalizing community health care at the health post level. Over the past decade, the Government of Ethiopiahas given priority to the expansion of health facilities, especially those of primary health care. In order to expand comprehensive obstetric care services further to the community level, the Government is planning an accelerated expansion of primary hospitals in each woreda. Source: : Adugna

20 The Ministry of Health has introduced a three-tier health care delivery system : I. Level one is a woreda health system comprised of a primary hospital (for people), health centres (for population) and their satellite health posts (for population), connected to each other by a referral system. The primary hospital, health centres and health posts form a primary health care unit. II. Level two is a general hospital for million people III. Level three is a specialized hospital for million people. Source: : Adugna Health Care Workforce For population, there are o <0.5 physicians, o 2 nursing and midwifery workers, o <0.5 dentistry workers, o <0.5 pharmaceutical personnel, o <0.5 environmental and public health workers, o 3 community health workers and o 2 hospital beds. [3] The shortage, uneven distribution, poor skill mix and high attrition of trained health professionals remain the major concerns. [1] The medicine supply system is unreliable and has long procurement procedures, resulting in low availability of medicines. Availability of essential medicines is 52% in the public sector and 88% in the private sector. Source: : Adugna

21 HEALTH PERSONNEL

22 DOCTORS : Age/Sex Distribution and Turnover There were 2,300 medical doctors in 5 regions and 2 city administrations in 6 years of observations [ ]. Of these, 553 (24.04%) medical doctors moved out of their duty stations and the remaining 1,747 (75.96%) were working actively. Of the actively working, the majority of the medical doctors, 1,407 (80.5%), were males, [of] which 889 (50.9%) were born after the year 1985, 997 (57%) had work experience of <3 years, and most, 1,471 (84.2%), were general practitioners. Within the observation period, physician turnover among specialists ranged from 21.4% in Dire Dawa to 43.3% in Amhara region. The capital, Addis Ababa, was the place of destination for 32 (82%) of the physicians who moved out to other regions Source : Aynalem Adugna Adugna Health Care Workforce The below facts, numbers, and graphs are based on a World Bank Report (2012) shown below.

HEWs are young women, with secondary education, paid and trained by the government, that woredas have identified to serve their local community. The training of the first cohort of health extension workers started in HEWs are trained to manage operations of health posts; conduct home visits and outreach services to promote preventive health actions; refer cases to health centers and follow up on referrals; identify, train, and collaborate with voluntary community health workers; and provide reports to district health offices. Health officers. Health officers provide clinical service at both health centers and primary hospitals, and manage district health offices. They hold skill sets and carry out tasks somewhere between a nurse and a doctor. The training of health officers started at Gonder University in 1954 dueto the shortage of physicians. Health officers hold bachelor s degrees and undergo a three-year training program plus one-year internship. Those who complete the master s degree provide advanced care, such as emergency surgery Source: World Bank Report, 2012 (full reference on slide 11)

46 CHILD HEALTH CARE Key findings of the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey o Child size and birth weight: Birth weight information was obtained for a very small percentage of newborns (only 14%) of births. Of these babies 13% weighed less than 2.5 kg at birth. o o Vaccinations: Of children aged months at the time of the survey, close to two in every five (39%) received all of the basic vaccinations at some time, and 22% were vaccinated by the appropriate age. The proportion of children age months who are fully vaccinated increased by 15 percent, from 24 percent in 2011 to 39 percent in Symptoms of acute respiratory infection (ARI): In the two weeks before the survey, seven percent of children under the age of five had symptoms of ARI. Roughly 30% of these children sought treatment. o Fever: In the two weeks before the survey 14% percent of children under 5 were reported to have fever. Of these, only 35% sought treatment from a health facility or provider. o Diarrhoea: Of children under the age of 5, 12% percent had diarrhoea in two weeks before the survey; 44% percent of these sought and 46% received some form of ORT. Another 39% received ORT or increased liquids.

51 NUTRITION OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS Key Findings of the 2016 Demographic and Health Survey Nutritional status of children: More that one in three (38%) of children under 5 years of age are stunted (short for their age) and 10% are wasted (thin for their height). Nearly a quarter (24%) are underweight (thin for their age). Only 1% of children under 5 are overweight (heavy for their height). Breastfeeding: Nearly all infants and children (97%) are breastfed at some point. However, a low percentage (only 58%) of infants under 6 months of age are exclusively breastfed. Minimum acceptable diet: Only 7% of children age 6-23 months meet the minimum acceptable dietary standards for breast feeding practices, and only 14% of children had a sufficiently diverse diet. Anaemia: Anemia is wide spread among women and children. It affects more than half of children age 6-59 months (57%) and 24% of women age Salt iodisation: Iodised salt for cooking by 89% households. Maternal nutrition: More than one in five (22%) of women age are thin (BMI < 18.5), while eight percent are overweight or obese.

52 Source: Direct quote, EDHS 2016, Page 188 DEFINITION Stunting (assessed via height-for-age) Height-for-age is a measure of linear growth retardation and cumulative growth deficits. Children whose height-for-age Z-score is below minus two standard deviations (-2 SD) from the median of the reference population are considered short for their age (stunted), or chronically undernourished. Children who are below minus three standard deviations (-3 SD) are considered severely stunted. Sample: Children under age 5 Wasting or weight-for-height The weight-for-height index measures body mass in relation to body height or length and describes current nutritional status. Children whose Z-score is below minus two standard deviations (-2 SD) from the median of the reference population are considered thin (wasted), or acutely undernourished. Children whose weight-for-height Z-score is below minus three standard deviations (-3 SD) from the median of the reference population are considered severely wasted. Sample: Children under age 5 Underweight or weight-for-age Weight-for-age is a composite index of height-for-age and weight-for-height that accounts for both acute and chronic undernutrition. Children whose weight-for-age Z-score is below minus two standard deviations (-2 SD) from the median of the reference population are classified as underweight. Children whose weight-for-age Z-score is below minus three standard deviations (-3 SD) from the median are considered severely underweight. Sample: Children under age 5 Overweight children Children whose weight-for-height Z-score is more than two standard deviations (+2 SD) above the median of the reference population are considered overweight. Sample: Children under age 5

53 Percent Percentage of Children Stunted, Underweight, and Wasted, DHS 2000, 2005, 2011, DHS2000 DHS2005 DHS2011 DHS2016 Stunted Under weight Wasted The percentage of children who are stunted has decreased substantially from 58% in 2000 to 38% in This translates into an average decline of more than 1 percentage point per year. The prevalence of underweight also decreased from 41% to 24% over the 16-year period but wasting has remained more or less constatnt Source : Aynalem Adugna Based on DERAL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF ETHIOPIA : Demographic and Health Survey 2016, Central Statistical Agency Addis Ababa, Ethiopia The DHS Program ICF, Rockville, Maryland, USA, July 2017, Page 187

54 Stunting, Underweight, Wasting.contd. o For children under age 5 stunting increases sharply between the age of 6 to 23 months, and peaks at ages months reflecting a scenario of overall undernutrition in the first 1,000 days of life. o There is an association between child malnutrition, childbirth size, and maternal malnutrition in that children who were small at birth are more likely to be stunted, wasted, or underweight than children who were normal weight or larger weight at birth. o On the other hand, children of thin mothers (BMI <18.5) are more likely to be stunted, wasted, or underweight than children of mothers with normal BMI, or of mothers who are overweight or obese. o Children in rural areas show higher levels of stunting, underweight, and wasting than those in urban areas. o Mothers education and wealth are important correlates of children's nutritional status as represented by the proportions of children who are stunted and underweight which declines with increasing mother s education and increasing household wealth.
