  • Use of standardised patients to assess tuberculosis case management by private pharmacies in Patna, India

    Open AccessAnita Svadzian, Sebastian D Huber et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    As the first point of care for many healthcare seekers, private pharmacies play an important role in tuberculosis (TB) care. However, previous studies in India have showed that private pharmacies commonly dispense symptomatic treatments and broad-spectrum antibiotics over-the-counter (OTC), rather than referring patients for TB testing. Such inappropriate management by pharmacies can delaye TB diagnosis. We assessed medical advice and OTC drug di…

  • Tuberculosis diagnosis and management in the public versus private sector

    Open AccessBenjamin Daniels, Daksha Shah et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    BACKGROUND: There are few rigorous studies comparing quality of tuberculosis (TB) care in public versus private sectors. METHODS: We used standardised patients (SPs) to measure technical quality and patient experience in a sample of private and public facilities in Mumbai. RESULTS: SPs presented a 'classic, suspected TB' scenario and a 'recurrence or drug-resistance' scenario. In the private sector, SPs completed 643 interactions. In the public s…

  • Simulated patients and their reality

    Open AccessVeena Das, Benjamin Daniels et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2022Citada por: 4Referencias: 26

    Simulated standardized patients (SSP) have emerged as close to a 'gold standard' for measuring the quality of clinical care. This method resolves problems of patient mix across healthcare providers and allows care to be benchmarked against preexisting standards. Nevertheless, SSPs are not real patients. How, then, should data from SSPs be considered relative to clinical observations with 'real' patients in a given health system? Here, we reject t…

  • How the Body SpeaksIllness and the Lifeworld among the Urban Poor

    Veena Das, Ranendra Das et al.CHAPTERSubjectivity2007

    This chapter studies how illness experiences are a relational testing ground and life experiment for the urban poor in New Delhi, distinguishing differing medical practices, expertise, and practitioners, and identifying the ways illness categories emerge through medical interactions and local family dynamics. It goes beyond governmental institutions, to show the personal and domestic grounds of the state and medicine. The chapter also connects th…

  • Urban Health and Pharmaceutical Consumption in Delhi, India

    Open AccessVeena Das, Ranendra Das et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2005Citada por: 11

    This paper interrogates the routine and unproblematic use of terms such as 'self-medication' in biomedical and anthropological discourse. A typical depiction of the social factors that explain the practice of 'self-medication' in India is to put together the supply side factors (such as protection offered by the government for the production of generic drugs, especially in the small scale sector, and expansion of the number of drug store outlets)…
