TL;DR: If routine health care is disrupted and access to food is decreased (as a result of unavoidable shocks, health system collapse, or intentional choices made in responding to the pandemic), the increase in child and maternal deaths will be devastating.

TL;DR: The prevalence of non-communicable diseases among Syrian refugees in non-camp settings in Jordan was characterized to better understand issues related to care-seeking for NCDs and identify the means to maintain and improve access to NCD care.

TL;DR: Supervision of CHWs could be strengthened by streamlining supervision protocols to focus less on report checking and more on problem solving and skills development, and further exploring CHW supervision innovations, such as an enhanced role for community actors, who may be more suitable to support CHWs engaged primarily in health promotion than scarce and over-worked facility health workers.

TL;DR: The RSU did not result in coverage increases or mortality reductions in Burkina Faso, but it cannot draw conclusions about the effectiveness of the iCCM strategy, given implementation shortcomings, and the evaluation results highlight the need for greater attention to implementation of i CCM programs.

TL;DR: The estimated immunization rates were lower than expected and raise serious concerns about gaps in vaccine coverage among Syrian refugees, suggesting a clear need to increase awareness, accessibility, and uptake of immunization services.
