This study was conducted due to observable disruptions in FP service delivery at health facility level in Mutare, the third largest city of Zimbabwe. The study sought to establish if the Covid-19 pandemic affected the married women's fertility intentions and access to FP services, including method of choice by the married women and explore the unmet need for family planning for the married women.

Abstract: Background: Stroke is considered one of the most deadly and disabling diseases in the world. People with neuromotor sequelae after a stroke require rehabilitation to help them to recover independence and to have a better quality of life. However, the process to obtain a functional recovery is not simple. Many variables influence the progress. Different studies have shown that robot-assisted training, locomotor training, and conventional physiotherapy help to improve gait parameters and balance ability in an acute and chronic stage after the stroke. However, people's ability to recover varies widely; because of this, it is necessary to find different treatment options that are effective and help improve their quality of life.

Abstract: The "silent epidemic" of viral hepatitis affects a large part of the world's population without due attention from the health sector is increasingly recognized as a considerable public health problem. It is estimated that 240 million people are chronically infected with hepatitis B (HBV) and 170 million are chronically infected with hepatitis C (HCV). These numbers far exceed the number of people living with HIV, estimated at 34 million. People who inject drugs (PWID) are a key population affected by HBV and HCV. There are approximately 16 million people who inject drugs in 148 countries (Mathers BM et al 2008). In 2011 it was estimated that 1.2 million people who inject drugs are infected with HBV and 10 million people who inject drugs are infected with HCV (Nelson PK et al,2011)......
