Background Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) can substantially reduce morbidity and mortality among women living with HIV (WLWH) prevent vertical transmission of HIV. However, in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), more than 50% new mothers discontinue ART care after childbirth. The role water insecurity (WI) adherence is not well-explored. We examined the relationship between WI pregnant postpartum WLWH Greater Accra region Ghana. Methods Using a cross-sectional survey, we recruited 176 on across 11 health facilities. association (measured using Household Water Insecurity Experience Scale, categorized as moderate severe compard low WI) poor (defined scoring below average observed CASE index score). Bivariate analysis was performed chi-square test followed by multivariate logistic regression models. included all variables p-values less 0.20 analysis. Results Most (79.5%) enrolled ART, were urban residents. Over 2/3 aged 30 years older. Overall, 33.5% respondents had adherence. Proportion 19.4% those WI, 44.4% 40.0% high WI. Respondents household greater odds reporting adherence, compared (adjusted Odds ratio (aOR) = 2.76, 95%CI: 1.14–6.66, p 0.024), even adjusting for food insecurity. Similarly, (aOR 1.49, 0.50–4.48, 0.479), Conclusion prevalent significant risk factor Governments other stakeholders working provision should prioritize security programming along continuum.

Abstract Surveillance indicators of the quality water for human consumption in Amazon were analysed from 2016 to 2020 using 185,528 samples 11 microregions. Of analysed, 93.20% urban areas, 66.65% public supply system (WSS), 31.02% Collective Alternative Solution-CAS, and 2.33% Individual Solution-IAS. There was an increase number records by WSS, with a downwards trend fluctuations CAS IAS. The chemical physical parameters areas higher than those rural traditional communities. Most presented pH values below recommended level. In quantification microbiological parameters, presence total coliforms E. coli identified conclusion, there inadequacies chemical, as well problems related supply, storage surveillance distributed consumption. These findings indicate need build agenda management address insecurity its likely effects on food region.

Abstract Evidence underscores that water inaccessibility in rural sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) disproportionately affects women due to patriarchal gender norms and practices. In the context of Sustainable Development Goals 5 (Gender Equality) 6 (Water Sanitation), globally driven efforts initiatives are set against a backdrop empowering women, improving accessibility, reducing water‐related risks. Furthermore, climate change is altering spatiotemporal patterns availability quality. A thematic analysis literature was conducted through Scopus Web Science identify drivers consequences as well coping strategies for (in)accessibility SSA. conceptual framework developed better understand assess research gaps points intervention mainstreaming mitigation reduce impacts Findings show complex intersecting factors underlie inaccessibility—and responses—among The socio‐ecological interlinkages among change, water, discussed case made more integrative (including dimensions vulnerability, impacts, effective grassroots co‐benefits) inform policy, planning, practice.
