Acceptability and Implementation Challenges of Benzathine Penicillin G Secondary Prophylaxis for Rheumatic Heart Disease in Ethiopia: A Qualitative Study by Eshetie Melese Birru, Kevin T. Batty, Laurens Manning, Stephanie L. Enkel, Brioni R. Moore

“…Based on these data, we suggest RHD control programs should (1) provide cross-disciplinary training and education programs to support safe and context-appropriate delivery of BPG (2) improve resourcing of health facilities to facilitate safe drug delivery, (3) establish a comprehensive system for auditing severe adverse reactions post-BPG injection to generate robust pharmacovigilance data, and consider alternative approaches to BPG delivery including access to improved formulations (e.g., BPG suspension formulations in pre-filled syringes). Highlights: • Key barriers included (a) resistance from healthcare providers to administer benzathine penicillin G (BPG) due to their concerns about injection-related severe adverse events, and potential repercussions should an event occur, (b) poor community and healthcare provider awareness of the disease and its treatment, (c) lack of resources to manage adverse events, and (d) injection pain. • Key enablers included (a) perceived superior treatment benefits of BPG and (b) co-administration of lidocaine/analgesics to reduce injection pain. • Recommendations to address identified challenges include (a) improved training/education on RHD diagnosis, disease progression, and treatment, (b) improved access to supportive resources, (c) active adverse reaction monitoring and reporting, and (d) encouraging the provision/access of globally subsidized BPG suspension formulations in pre-filled syringes.…”
