Identifying missed opportunities in tuberculosis preventive treatment care cascade
Tuberculosis infection is a condition when a person harbours the bacilli without having signs of active disease. In India, over 50% of household contacts of people with pulmonary tuberculosis have the infection.

Maharashtra is one of the bigger states in India with high tuberculosis burden. We analysed the pr…
Consequences of school closures due to Covid-19 in DRC, Nigeria, Senegal, and Uganda
In 2020 and 2021, Governments across the globe instituted school closures to reduce social interaction and interrupt COVID-19 transmission. We examined the consequences of school closures due to COVID-19 across four sub–Saharan African countries: the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Nigeria, Senegal, and Uganda.

Eleven tips for operational researchers working with health programmes
Due to the workload and lack of a critical mass of trained operational researchers within their ranks, health systems and programmes may not be able to dedicate sufficient time to conducting operational research (OR). Hence, they may need the technical support of operational researchers from research/academic organisations. Additionally, there is a knowledge gap regarding implementing differentiated tuberculosis (TB) care in programme settings. I…
Multi-country cross-sectional study of colonization with multidrug-resistant organisms
This is the first study to use a common protocol to evaluate population-based prevalence and risk factors associated with MDRO colonization among community-dwelling and hospitalized adults in multiple countries with diverse epidemiological conditions, including low- and middle-income settings. The results will be used to better describe the global epidemiology of MDROs and guide the development of mitigation strategies in both community and healt…
