Gazans are not only fighting illness but also confronting systemic injustices that disrupt their basic right to health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This war in Gaza shows a critical link between human rights violations and health inequities, as civilians endure dire conditions marked by displacement and severe shortages of basic needs. Over 1.7 million Gazans have been displaced, with essential infrastructure like water, sanitation, and healthcare systematically destroyed [&lt;span&gt;2, 3&lt;/span&gt;].

Using an institutional work perspective, we conducted an explanatory case study involving documental analysis and primary data collection through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, direct observations, and informal conversations with 121 participants, including women, health professionals, and family members from Xai-Xai in Southern Mozambique. Our findings reveal that <i>pudor</i>, an emotion tied to a deep-seated sense of reserve rooted in patriarchal culture and masculine dominance, plays a significant role in limiting women's motivation to participate in screening. This emotion, shaped by social and cultural norms around privacy, intimacy, and sexuality, leads women to view cervical cancer screening as culturally unacceptable, often responding with attitudes emphasising modesty and avoidance.

The data on BDs was collected between April 2021 and March 2023 from 38 Primary Health Centres (PHCs), nine Rural Hospitals (RH) and three Sub-district Hospitals (SDH) from seven tribal blocks of Palghar district. A total of 402 BDs were identified during the study period through facility and community-based approaches. Certain challenges were encountered at different levels of surveillance including underreporting by healthcare workers (ASHAs), non-functional District Early Intervention Centres (DEICs), a non-operational web portal for data entry and parenteral barriers attributing to screening, referral and management of BDs. Measures were taken to overcome these challenges comprising refresher training for ASHAs, the creation of communication channels and the distribution of educational materials. These initiatives encouraged and significantly improved the reporting of Visible BDs (VBDs) through ASHAs and programs (Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram) at the end of the reporting period. This study highlights that addressing these system shortcomings could be effectively achieved through intersectoral coordination and the involvement of Health Care Workers (HCWs) aligning with programme objectives.

Recognising the foundational role of patient participation in enhancing clinical outcomes, healthcare organisations increasingly integrate patient inputs and resources into their management strategies. Patient and family advisory councils represent a primary form of collective patient engagement at the organisational level. Patient and family advisory councils actively engage in all levels of the hospital system to enhance quality improvement and meet the demands of patients. Despite recognised importance, empirical evidence regarding their roles as strategic resources and impact on hospital performance remains unexplored. Incorporating patient engagement into the social resource-based view, this study addresses how comprehensive strategic resources are associated with a hospital's quality of care and patient satisfaction outcomes. Utilising hospital-level data from 2018 to 2020, a cross-sectional time-series ordered logit analysis examines the quality of care and patient satisfaction models. The findings reveal that patient engagement, physical resources, and human capital are positively associated with hospital quality of care and patient satisfaction. In contrast, a social resource—a minority population—is negatively associated with hospital outcomes. This study contributes theoretical and practical implications. It synthesises patient engagement into the Social Resource-Based approach and provides consistent empirical evidence.
