Abstract

Background: The challenges of the health system are further exacerbated by the growing impacts of climate change, particularly in northern Nigeria. Climate change-related issues such as heat waves, flooding, and insurgency have worsened the burden of disease and highlighted vulnerabilities in health infrastructure and management structures. Aims: This study investigated entrepreneurship, innovative education, and cross-sector collaboration as catalysts for a sustainable health system in Nigeria. Methods: This study adopted a desk research design, sourcing data from Google Scholar, ERIC, JSTOR, Scopus, ResearchGate, and other websites. A total of 20 documents were identified and screened; 10 studies were finally selected because they were written in English, had a clear study purpose, were obtained from the identified sources, met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and were used for analysis. Results: The study revealed that entrepreneurship contributes to the sustainability of the Nigerian Health System. Entrepreneurship in healthcare is considered the ability to bridge gaps in health service delivery through market-driven innovations that promote efficiency and responsiveness. The study also found that innovative education influences the sustainability of the health system. The study revealed that cross-sector collaboration catalyses a sustainable health system in Nigeria by introducing market-driven innovation, business practices that enhance health system resilience, improving coordination, and addressing social determinants of health that fall outside the purview of the conventional health sector. Conclusion: Entrepreneurship, innovative education, and cross-sector collaboration offer a feasible approach to developing a resilient and sustainable health system in Nigeria. When a good environment is created, it enables the promotion of entrepreneurship, innovation, partnerships, and health policies. This study suggests that Nigeria could strengthen the sustainability of its health system by implementing policies and initiatives that promote entrepreneurship, foster innovation in health education, and enhance cross-sector collaboration.

Abstract

Malaria continues to be a major cause of mortality and long-term neurologic handicap globally; the burden of disease is particularly high among children. Those living in rural and poorly resourced areas of the world are the most severely affected, in large part because of inequities in health care for malaria that impact children. School-aged children are a subset of the at risk population who are particularly vulnerable to the adverse consequences of delayed diagnosis, sub-optimal care and repeated infection; both the short and long-term neurologic effects that can result are recognized to compromise the learning ability of affected children. Because of this, schools are a logical and appropriate venue for focusing the fight against malaria. This photo essay illustrates how an effective intervention in rural African schools combines the parallel implementation of a prevention strategy based on the promotion of bed net use by pupils, with a teacher-driven strategy to diagnose and treat malaria through the use of rapid diagnostic testing and artemisinin combination therapy. Strategies such as this reduce inequities in care and offer a way to reduce morbidity from malaria; this in turn gives school children a greater chance of achieving their academic potential by avoiding both absence from school and the long term effects that malaria can have on their ability to learn.

Abstract

Background: Public health decision-making increasingly requires individuals to interpret numerical information such as risks, probabilities, treatment benefits, and epidemiological trends. However, disparities in quantitative literacy may contribute to inequitable health outcomes and reduced participation in informed decision-making. Despite growing interest in health literacy and equity, systematic reviews have examined health numeracy, risk communication, and health literacy; however, limited research has specifically examined the role of social justice mathematics in strengthening equitable health decision-making. Aim: This systematic review examined how quantitative literacy and health numeracy influence health decision-making, explored how numeracy disparities contribute to public health inequities, and assessed how social justice mathematics may support equitable engagement with health information. Methods: Guided by PRISMA 2020, a systematic search of Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and ERIC was conducted for studies published between 2000 and 2025. Following screening and eligibility assessment, 50 studies were included in the final synthesis. Two independent reviewers conducted article screening and quality appraisal, with disagreements resolved through discussion and consensus. A narrative synthesis approach was adopted due to methodological heterogeneity across studies. Findings: The review found that limited numeracy contributed to misinterpretation of health risks, reduced screening participation, difficulties in treatment decision-making, and lower engagement in preventive healthcare, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. The findings further showed that social justice mathematics may strengthen critical interpretation of health data, improve engagement with public health issues, and support awareness of structural inequities. However, empirical evidence directly linking social justice mathematics interventions to measurable health outcomes remains limited. Conclusion: Quantitative literacy is a critical determinant of equitable health decision-making. Public health systems should adopt numeracy-sensitive communication strategies, while education systems should integrate socially responsive quantitative literacy and authentic health data into mathematics curricula to strengthen informed participation and reduce health inequities.

Abstract

Background: Financial constraints are a significant stressor for university students in South Africa, particularly those without stable financial support. These students often face challenges in meeting tuition, accommodation, and other basic needs, which may negatively impact their mental health. Despite growing recognition of student mental health, the experiences of financially disadvantaged students remain underexplored. Aims: This scoping review maps and synthesises evidence on mental health challenges among financially disadvantaged students at South African universities, identifying key stressors, associated factors, and research gaps Methods: A comprehensive search of peer-reviewed and grey literature was conducted across Google Scholar, PubMed, Sabinet, Psych-info, and Web of Science for studies published between January 2020 and December 2025. Eligible studies focused on financially disadvantaged students at South African universities and reported mental health outcomes. Two reviewers independently screened studies and extracted data, with disagreements resolved through consensus. The final search was completed on 31 January 2026. Sixteen studies were included and analysed using a narrative synthesis approach guided by a thematic approach. Results: Financially disadvantaged students consistently reported anxiety, stress, depressive symptoms, and psychological distress associated with financial hardship. The most represented populations were first-year students, low-income or rural students, and NSFAS-funded students. Food insecurity, unstable accommodation, and academic pressure commonly co-occurred with financial hardship, while limited access to mental health services further compounded these challenges. Few studies examined integrated interventions addressing both financial and mental health challenges. Conclusion: Financially disadvantaged students face complex mental health challenges driven by socio-economic and institutional factors. A major gap identified is the lack of integrated interventions addressing both financially disadvantaged students and mental health. The findings highlight an urgent need for coordinated context-specific institutional responses that integrate financial support, mental health services, and academic assistance within South African higher education.

Abstract

Background: There appears to be a decline in public health expenditure per capita amid high levels of air pollution in South Africa, and it is not clear whether this has a toll on the country's crude mortality rate. This study examined the asymmetric effects of particulate matter air pollution (PM2.5) and public health expenditure on crude mortality rates in South Africa. Coal is the major source of electricity in South Africa, and it generates high levels of PM2.5. This has implications for human respiratory systems and airway health, potentially affecting mortality rates despite increases in public health expenditure. Aims: The study examined whether increases or decreases in air pollution and public health expenditure per capita significantly affect mortality rate in South Africa, and how access to electricity and income per capita affect mortality amidst these non-linear interactions. Methods: The study employed annual time-series data covering 35 years (1990 to 2024). The study adopted the Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) cointegration framework, which separates positive and negative shocks to air pollution and health expenditure and allows estimation of the long- and short-run effects of both types of shocks on mortality. The study also explicitly included the percentage of the population with access to electricity to examine the effect of access to clean energy on the pollution-mortality relationship. The study also used national per capita income to assess its influence on mortality rates in South Africa. Results: The results show a statistically significant long-run effect of air pollution on mortality. Health expenditure per capita, however, did not produce any significant asymmetric effects on the crude mortality rate, both in the short-run and long run. However, access to electricity has a statistically significant positive effect on mortality, indicating that increased electricity access is a positive and significant factor in productivity, but may also co-evolve with energy-use patterns that require careful environmental management. Mortality is negatively associated with GDP per capita, consistent with the epidemiological transition hypothesis. The error-correction term verifies the quick adjustment towards the long-run equilibrium, indicating that about 90.4% of the disequilibrium is corrected each year. Conclusion: The study concludes that while positive and negative shocks in public health expenditure did not significantly affect the mortality rate, negative shocks in air pollution did. These findings underscore the need for the government of South Africa to work towards a clean energy transition, target health spending toward pollution-related respiratory illnesses, improve citizens’ incomes, and control air pollution to reduce mortality rates.

Abstract

The Editorial Board gratefully acknowledges the reviewers who contributed their time, expertise, and careful judgment to the manuscripts published in the issue of the Global Health Management Journal (Vol. 9, No. 2, 2026). Many of the contributions in this issue share a common concern with the conditions that shape health opportunities and outcomes. Kpum and Gasa (2026) challenge educational systems to recognize the financial and safety realities faced by women learners, while Mboma et al. (2026) draw attention to the vulnerabilities experienced by street-connected children in Kinshasa. Beyond individual experiences, Ali and Makoni (2026) demonstrate how climate variability can intensify financial hardship and worsen health outcomes among households affected by non-communicable diseases, reinforcing the need for policies that respond to both social and environmental challenges. Looking ahead, Peter and Gasa (2026) highlight the potential of entrepreneurship, innovative education, and cross-sector collaboration in building more sustainable and resilient health systems. The recently completed publications from Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Swadaya Gunung Jati, processed under Special Edition commitment, represent new insights from biomedical and educational research. Genetic studies by Rizqulloh et al. (2026) and Soeroso et al. (2026) explore biological factors associated with diabetes and malaria, offering insights that may guide future research and disease prevention efforts. Within medical education, Maharani et al. (2026) examine the attributes of lecturers facilitating problem-based learning, emphasizing the continuing importance of student-centered approaches in preparing future health professionals. Completing the issue, Sanitaquin et al. (2026) explore cardiovascular endurance and blood pressure among university employees, adding to the ongoing conversation on lifestyle, health, and disease prevention. Together, the articles in this issue remind us that improving health requires not only scientific advances, but also a deeper understanding of the social, educational, economic, and environmental realities in which people live. We are grateful for the Editorial Boards and Reviewers’ commitment to advancing global health research and supporting a rigorous peer-review process.

Abstract

Background: Health data systems in Sub-Saharan Africa have been designed largely on Western biostatistical and epidemiological models, which devalue and disregard the Indigenous mathematical practices that communities in the region have used to interpret, communicate, and act on health-related information. This epistemological mismatch results in enduring knowledge gaps within communities, weak effectiveness of public health interventions, and the replication of a colonial knowledge hierarchy in the governance of global health. Aims: This synthesis aims to synthesize the current state of knowledge on the nature and health outcomes of Indigenous and community-based mathematical practices in the interpretation of health data across Sub-Saharan Africa, and to inform decolonial mathematics education curricula and community health data literacy interventions. Methods: This review is reported in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 statement and eMERGe reporting guidelines for meta-ethnography. Nine electronic databases were searched. A meta-ethnographic thematic analysis was used to synthesize findings from 52 studies distributed across West, East, and Southern Africa. Results: The synthesis resulted in three broad clusters of Indigenous mathematical practices: quantifying relationships within the community and using ratios and proportions to describe; epidemiological infrastructure narrated through mnemonic structures that encode and transmit quantitative information about health in community places; and embodied spatial reasoning for the purposes of environmental health surveillance at the community level. In terms of health outcomes, these Indigenous surveillance and monitoring practices allow for an effective community-based approach, but the review shows that there are considerable risks associated with epistemological dissonance. This mismatch between Indigenous norms and Western biomedical norms typically involves not recognizing health issues, such as nutrient deficiencies, or not involving communities in formal health services. Conclusion: The results show that Indigenous mathematical traditions are is a complex and culturally relevant way of understanding, articulating, and acting on health-related information. Integrating community-based relational and spatial reasoning into decolonial mathematics curricula, these results offer crucial evidence base. Moreover, the results inform the design of community health data literacy interventions that are epistemically local and enhance the relevance of health communication and the promotion of epistemic justice in the African public health landscape.
