Abstract	Background: The research was assessed the Ethiopian Emergency Medical Services Case teams' and officers views on Emergency Medical services in Ethiopia. The aim of study was to present the point of views, prospect and priorities of Emergency medical services case teams and its coordinator along some main dimensions of emergency medical services, such as Leadership, Motivation, Structure, and Assurance for implementation. Methods: Six focus group discussion were facilitated with EMS case teams, focal persons and FMoH emergency medical services case teams from December to August, 2017 in all regions chosen of the study. The focus group techniques were used in the study as qualitative research method for examination of viewpoints of case team members towards to the emergency medical care system and overall pre-hospital and at hospital emergency care services. The discussion was addressing the topics of: general aspects of emergency Medical Services (EMS) and which occupations included in EMS; possibilities to importance review EMS issues based on Leadership, Motivation, Structure, and Assurance for implementation of EMS in the country. Finally, thematic analysis was used to evaluate data sets which collected during the focus group discussion. Results: There were 6 focus groups in total: an Emergency medical services case teams, officers, Directorates, and integrated disease prevention and control program coordinators groups in each of the regional, city Administration Health Bureau and Federal Ministry of Health in Ethiopia. Findings of the thematic analysis were summarized along the following dimensions: Leadership, Motivation, Structure, and Assurance for implementation. The result shown that lack of resources, shortage of training, lack of professionals and community awareness on EMS, immaturity of EMS strategic plan and lack of revision, workload as a result of limited skilled manpower, lack of partnerships and collaboration on EMS and lack of research and community services evidence are among factors affecting the quality EMS and continuity of the program at various health care facilities at the regional and national levels. Conclusion: The study shows views of the Ethiopian Emergency Medical Services Case teams' and officers in Emergency Medical services in Ethiopia. The participants were considered determining factors of the EMS were rather similar among the participated regional, city Administration Health Bureau and Federal Ministry of health. Nonetheless, there was some degree of difference among those participated institutes. Especially, as a national level, Ethiopian Ministry of Health is exists only one emergency medical service directorate that leading the whole national activities. Therefore, EMS program need to respond to the challenges by respondents to articulate emergency medical services policies appropriate to Ethiopia, including the pre-hospital, at hospital care system and Ambulance services with more reformed professional skills and case team work at country level including all regions, Zone, Woreda (Districts) and other related sectors.

Abstract	Background: Ethiopia has a well established health care system but lacks significant improvements on emergency medical services and suffers a shortage of equally initiative among all regional states and city administration of Ethiopia. This study aimed to examine the drivers, challenges, and opportunities of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and to identify new evidence for future policy making in Ethiopia. Method: A narrative review of the literature related to EMS was undertaken to describe the drivers, challenges, and opportunities for EMS in Ethiopia from July, 2000 to September, 2018. The search was done from four relevant electronic databases: MEDLINE, Science Directs, Scopus and PubMed by using Google Scholar and Google with key search words used mainly as "Emergency Medical services in Ethiopia". The inclusion criteria were an original study or review studies involving Emergency Medical Services in Ethiopia. Among the available papers, the relevant articles were selected while the irrelevant ones were excluded. Results: There was lack of trained emergency medical providers and misdistribution of trained professionals, immaturity of the program, lack of partnership and stakeholders and lack of motivation towards Emergency medical services. Emergency medical services hamper significant problems similar to other African countries that required being addressed in Ethiopia context for achieving the program and in order to obtain intended outcomes for the country. Conclusion: A long-term discussion is needed to further improve the services system in various health care facilities. An Emergency Medical services policy making and analysis framework is needed to make quality emergency medical care at Emergency department in hospitals and outside the hospitals.

Abstract	Background: Currently, Ethiopia is undergoing an epidemiological transition. Consequently, NCDs are becoming an increasingly important public health problem in the country. Furthermore, the country has faced a high level of food insecurity. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive review based on published articles from 2010 to 2018 and WHO reports on food insecurity, malnutrition and their impacts on the burden of NCDs death in order to obtain a deeper understanding of the seriousness of the NCDs cause of deaths in relation to food insecurity and malnutrition. In addition, policy for protecting vulnerability and the implementation of SDGs on food insecurity, malnutrition, and NCDs were also discussed. The results of this review highlight the progress that was made in the overall condition of food insecurity, nutrition, and diseases in the country. Results: The finding shows that there has been large burden of recurrent food insecurity, which could be due to malnutrition that might be associated to inconsistent rainfall distribution and also the experience of violent conflict in recent periods. However, the prevalence of undernourishment was declined from 75% in 1990s to 32% in 2015 though the numbers indicate a marginal reduction. But unexpectedly still the child mortality rate of under-five that results from malnutrition accounts about 57% of all children deaths. As the result of malnutrition, obesity is recognized as the determinants for a number of NCDs such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Communicable diseases seems the only identified health problem in the country, however; the burden of NCDs is facing major aspects. Hence, NCDs like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, currently, are among the leading causes of death among adults, which is responsible for 39% of deaths in the country in 2015 while the risk of premature NCDs mortality was reached about 15.2%. Of these deaths, 4% was due to cancer and 9% was related to other NCDs such as obesity and nutrition-related cases. Therefore, food insecurity has a high-flying impact in early death from chronic health conditions and the cause of undernutrition that leads to an augmented susceptibility and decreased flexibility to NCDs as a result of compromised nutrition. Conclusion: In order to sustain the economic growth, reduce poverty and achieving food security, the Ethiopian government has started discourse at high level of agenda hoping to avoid recurrent violent conflict, food insecurity and famine by targeting urban low-income households and empowering youth and women.

Abstract	Background: The study aimed to investigate the associations between life and health satisfaction with health-related quality of life (HRQoL), body mass index (BMI) and chronic disease among people who are covered by health insurance schemes in Tehran city, Iran. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Tehran city, Iran, from May to June 2016. A total of 600 people were included in the study using a cluster sampling technique. The questionnaire that used for data collection included demographic and socioeconomic variables, questions about health variables such as chronic disease, weight, height, smoking status, and EQ-5D-3L questionnaire. Two univariate and multivariate regression models performed to examine affecting factors on life and health satisfaction. Results: The univariate regression showed that on average female have 0.22 and 0.69 score lower than males with their life and health satisfaction, respectively. Explanatory variables of gender, age, level of education, and employment status were not significantly associated with life and health satisfaction in multiple regression models. However, marital status was correlated with life satisfaction. Furthermore, HRQoL, BMI and chronic disease and smoking were associated with dependent variables ( Conclusions: The result showed that there was a strong association between BMI, HRQoL, chronic disease, and life and health satisfaction among participants. Therefore, the Iranian policymakers need to consider these factors on life and health satisfaction of adults and design health-promoting programs to improve health outcomes of them. Further studies should assess the associations between BMI, HRQoL, chronic conditions, and life and health satisfaction among Iranian adults.

Abstract	Background: Trauma is one of the important public health problems that causes significant economic and social crisis with more than 10% of all disease cases are associated with it. We aimed to identify and describe the prevalence, patterns, magnitude and associated factors of trauma in the Emergency Department at Health Institute in Ethiopia. Methods: In this systematic review, we searched for peer-reviewed and grey literature publications reporting the prevalence, pattern, magnitude and associated factors of trauma between 2000 and 2019. The documents which recruited are directly related to trauma and emergency department. In this regard, we searched databases of PubMed, Elsevier, Science directed, MEDLINE, and Google scholar by using Google as searching engine. Furthermore, publication with secondary data and not in English was excluded. Findings: A total of 9,768 injured participants were included in the studies, of which 71.2% (6950) were males. Among the injured participants, 53.4% of cases were living in Addis Ababa followed by Gondar and Jimma with 20.3% and 11.3% cases, respectively. Severe road traffic accident, occupational injury, and surgical patients were among the major risk factors of trauma. The mortality rate of the trauma case fatality was reached about 4%. The majority of the studies (37.5%) analyzed the pattern and magnitude of trauma among patients seen at emergency outpatient department of health institutes in Ethiopia. The largest percentage of studies (62.5%) relied on systematic random sampling. Thirty eight percent of the reviewed studies were utilized retrospective approaches to address the research questions. An completed the registry forms and/or Kampla Trauma Score (KTS), which accounted for 37.5% of articles on prevalence, pattern, magnitude and associated factors of trauma in the emergency was the most commonly used strategy. The majority (75%) of the reviewed studies were used both descriptive statistics and bivarate and multivariate logistic regression for data analysis. The majority 6950 (71%) of the participants who have been included in those reviewed articles were male and 2818 (29%) were female by gender. Meanwhile, the majority 5 (62.5%) of reviewed studies had included < 1000 injured persons. Conclusion: The degree and types of injuries in different hospitals in Ethiopia was considerably high and its casualty is also under predictable. Therefore, a variety of actions including policy decision should be implemented in order to minimize the incidence of trauma at department of emergency care center in the country.

Abstract	Background: The Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has proved to be one of the most burdensome respiratory disease outbreaks ever. Moreover, the public health emergency of the COVID-19 outbreak has been seen by the World Health Organization (WHO) as global health concern since March 2020 and there has been a significantly increased morbidity and mortality in the community worldwide. The objective of this review is to describe and review the global public health significances and community and healthcare perception of features, treatments, prevention and control methods to slow the transmission of the outbreak. Methods: For this review, the literature has been searched by following online databases, including medRxiv, pubmed, medline and Google scholar databases. The key search terms 'COVID-19', '2019 novel coronavirus', '2019-nCoV', 'novel coronavirus' and 'Pneumonia' were used to search the literature. Scientific papers published online by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the WHO from 01 January to 06 May 2020 in the English language were included for analysis. Results: The results of this review indicated that COVID-19 is a serious global public health problem. It affects immune compromised individuals living with chronic diseases, the elderly and pregnant women more severely. The disease spread rapidly from one country to countries worldwide. In all, 212 countries highlighted the weakened state of essential public health and emergency services. The researchers addressed the lack of perception in communities, including health professionals, with regard to COVID-19. Healthcare settings were analyzed in terms of the pandemic nature of the virus, onset and the overall characteristics of disease outbreak. Microbiogists were also used to assess the daily cumulative index of COVID-19. With regard to treatment, chloroquine phosphate and herbal medicines were shown to be promising as supportive treatments to slow COVID-19 transmission, coupled with isolation and quarantine techniques. Conclusion: The review indicates that COVID-19 has a high global public health significance due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. Still, there was no specific or effective vaccine or treatment, moreover, the community, including health professionals, have a low perception as regards COVID-19, even though different prevention and control methods have been conducted. Thus, there is a need for awareness creation, alongside further research applied to finding effective vaccine and treatments.
