Detection of pulmonary tuberculosis through mobile X-ray based active case-finding in Pakistan
Recent evidence suggests that community-wide active case finding (ACF) can reduce tuberculosis (TB) incidence and prevalence. Mass-screening at the community level, supported by mobile digital chest X-ray units, is now being scaled up by programmes across high burden countries. However, there is limited evidence of case-detection yields from programmes conducting ACF at scale in low-resource settings. We retrospectively analysed aggregate data fr…

Insights into tuberculosis burden in Karachi, Pakistan
Pakistan is one of the five highest tuberculosis burden countries globally. We estimated prevalence of adult bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis and annual risk of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M . tuberculosis) infection in children aged 2–4 years in Karachi, Pakistan. The survey design enabled exploration of tuberculosis burden by whether the population had previously been exposed to widespread tuberculosis active case-finding (ACF…

Re-evaluating the merits of decentralization as a core strategy for effective delivery of drug-resistant tuberculosis care in Pakistan
Decentralized, person-centred models of care delivery for drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) continue to be under-resourced in high-burden TB countries. The implementation of such models—made increasingly urgent by the COVID-19 pandemic—are key to addressing gaps in DR-TB care. We abstracted data of rifampicin-resistant (RR)/multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients initiated on treatment at 11 facilities between 2010 and 2017 in Sindh …
Effect of vaccine reminder and tracker bracelets on routine childhood immunization coverage and timeliness in urban Pakistan (2017-18)
Background Inability to track children’s vaccination history coupled with parents’ lack of awareness of vaccination due dates compounds the problem of low immunization coverage and timeliness in developing countries. We evaluated the impact of two types of silicone immunization reminder bracelets for children in improving immunization coverage and timeliness of Pentavalent-3 and the Measles-1 vaccines. Methods Children < 3 months were enrolled in…
Tuberculosis control and care in the era of Covid-19
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious cause of mortality globally, with almost 4000 daily deaths. The treatment coverage and success rate are ongoing challenges for low- and middle-income countries (WHO, 2019). To effectively control the TB epidemic and meet the EndTB goals, the Zero TB Initiative was launched in October 2015. It aims to create ‘islands of TB elimination’ using a comprehensive approach of search, treat and prevent. Unfortun…

Economic analysis of childhood pneumonia in Northern Pakistan
OBJECTIVES: This study estimates household costs for treatment of pneumonia, severe pneumonia and very severe febrile disease. Combined with reported costs from the health care provider perspective, an estimate of the overall financial burden of these diseases has been developed for the Northern Areas of Pakistan. METHODS: Data on the duration and economic implications of the illnesses for households were collected from caretakers of children und…
