Low- and middle-income countries suffer from excessive accumulation of electronic waste (e-waste), partly owing to a lack of recycling infrastructure and relevant policy frameworks, which can lead to significant toxic exposure of the surrounding population ...

Access to sufficient water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services is a crucial requirement for patients during therapy and general well-being in the hospital. However, in low- and middle-income countries, these services are often inadequate, resulting in ...

The issues of forced displacement and energy for sustainable development are convergent: an estimated 90% of displaced people globally have no access to electricity, while 85% of refugees are hosted in developing countries. However, few tools to plan and d ...

Recommendations for storage of most vaccines imply a continuous exposure to a temperature range between 0 degrees C and 10 degrees C, from the production to the administration to beneficiaries. According to the World Health Organization, more than 50% of v ...

Aims Most glucose self-monitoring devices have been developed with high-income countries in mind. We developed a target product profile (TPP) for new glucose self-monitoring technologies for users in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods A draf ...

Vaccines need to be continuously stored between 2°C to 8°C, from their production to administration to beneficiaries. Every year, more than 25% of vaccines are wasted. One of the main reasons for this wastage is the lack of cold chain continuity in low-inc ...
