Differentiated care delivery aims to simplify care of people living with HIV, reflect their preferences, reduce burdens on the healthcare system, maintain care quality and preserve resources.

G-estimation provides an analytical framework useful to the assessment of similar programs using observational data.
Postpartum hemorrhage is the most common cause of maternal death. Oxytocin is the standard therapy for the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage, but it requires cold storage, which is not available in many countries. In a large trial, we compared a novel formulation of heat-stable carbetocin with oxytocin.
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) comprises invasive mole (IM), choriocarcinoma(CCM), placental site trophoblastic tumour(PSTT) and epithelioid trophoblastic tumour (ETT). Choriocarcinoma is the most common tumour in this category and is more fatal than the rest. Little is known about GTN in developing countries including the East African region. This study aims to determine the spectrum of GTN affecting thepopulationseekingmanagementinatertiaryhospitalinKenyaandthemortalityratesassociatedwith the disease.
