What happens when public primary care is ill-prepared to respond to non-communicable diseases
Background: With rapid urbanisation in low- and middle-income countries, public primary care is struggling to respond to the growing prevalence of hypertension and diabetes, while the private sector has grown to meet demand. We aimed to understand current use and readiness of public and private primary care diabetes and hypertension services, and how readiness impacts perceptions and practices of urban communities. Methods: We conducted a converg…
Essential newborn care practices in health facilities of Nepal
Availability of newborn care practices in health facilities (HFs) plays an important role in improving the survival and well-being of newborns. In this paper, we aimed to assess practice of carrying out different newborn care practices among HFs between 2015 and 2021, and associated factors in Nepal. We analyzed data of 621 and 786 HFs offering delivery and newborn care services from Nepal Health Facility Surveys 2015 and 2021, respectively. We s…
Factors associated with uptake of breast and cervical cancer screening among Nepalese women
Breast cancer screening (BCS) and cervical cancer screening (CCS) are integral parts of initiatives to reduce the burden associated with these diseases. In this context, we aimed to determine factors associated with BCS and CCS uptake among Nepalese women aged 30 to 49 years using data from the Nepal Demographic Health Survey (NDHS) 2022. We performed a weighted analysis to account complex survey design of the NDHS 2022. We employed univariable a…
Contextual factors affecting the implementation of an anemia focused virtual counseling intervention for pregnant women in plains Nepal
It is important to understand gender norms, mobile access, and mobile literacy before implementing an mHealth intervention. The contextual barriers to implementation meant that we were not able to engage family members as much as we had hoped, and we were not able to minimize in-person contact with families. We recommend a flexible approach to mHealth interventions which can be responsive to local context and the situation of participants. Home v…

In a qualitative study on the stigma associated with tuberculosis (TB), involving 73 interviews and eight focus groups conducted in five sites across three countries (Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan), participants spoke of TB's negative impact on the marriage prospects of women in particular. Combining the approach to discovering grounded theory with a conceptualization of causality based on a realist ontology, we developed a theory to explain th…
