Intersecting sociocultural, gendered, and structural barriers to rehabilitation access in Pakistan
Prioritizing rehabilitation in Pakistan’s health system
Rehabilitation, is a neglected domain in Pakistan’s health system. There are insufficient financial and human resources to address the unmet needs. Despite the increasing demand for rehabilitation and assistive technology (AT) and implications for improving health inequities, it receives little political attention. This analysis identifies the factors that shape the prioritization of rehabilitation in Pakistan’s national health system. We conduct…
Effectiveness of interventions to prevent drowning among children under age 20 years
Background: Drowning is a leading cause of death among young children. The United Nations Resolution on global drowning prevention (2021) and World Health Assembly Resolution in 2023 have drawn attention to the issue. This scoping review synthesizes the current evidence on the effectiveness of child drowning prevention interventions since the 2008 World Report on Child Injury Prevention and implications for their implementation.

Prioritizing rehabilitation in low- and middle-income country national health systems
This framework can support stakeholders in identifying the key components impeding prioritization for rehabilitation across different national contexts. This is a crucial step for ultimately better advancing the issue on national policy agendas and improving equity in access to rehabilitation services
Stronger together
The global increase in COVID-19 cases in 2021 has primarily been due to an uncontrolled surge in South Asia. It is estimated that by 1 September 2021, approximately 1.4 million in South Asians will die due to COVID-19 alone.1 The total number of excess deaths will be much higher—including non-COVID causes, as health systems are on the brink of collapse.2 With 33.4% of South Asians being extremely poor3 and the large-scale loss of livelihood being…
Adaptation and validation of Unicef/Washington group child functioning module at the Iganga-Mayuge health and demographic surveillance site in Uganda
CFM is a two-factor, valid and reliable scale for assessing disability in Uganda and can be applied to other similar settings to contribute towards disability data from the region. It is an easy-to-administer tool that can help in deeper understanding of context-specific burden and extent of disability in children between 5 and 17 years of age
Global Childhood Unintentional Injury Study
Objectives. We aimed to analyze the epidemiology of childhood unintentional injuries presenting to hospitals in 5 select sites in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) (Bangladesh, Colombia, Egypt, Malaysia, and Pakistan). Methods. We collected standardized data from children ages 0 to 12 years at participating emergency departments (EDs) in 2007. Statistical analyses were conducted to compare the characteristics of these injuries and to explo…
Disseminating Childhood Home Injury Risk Reduction Information in Pakistan
This pilot project demonstrates the potential utility of using home-visit tutorials to decrease home hazards in a low-income neighborhood in Pakistan. A longer-term randomized study is needed to assess actual effectiveness of the use of allied health workers for home-based injury education and whether this results in decreased home injuries
P2-520 Injury- related mortality among women aged 12–49 years
Introduction Beyond maternal health, there are other issues of women health like injury prevention that adequately need to be recognised. The objective is to look at the causes of injury mortality among Pakistani women. Methods DHS in Pakistan was conducted from September 2006 till February 2007. The survey adopted a two-stage, stratified, random sample design. It included 95 000 households out of which a total of 1125 female deaths (12–49 years)…
SP6-23 Unintentional childhood home injuries
Introduction Unintentional injuries are a leading cause of death among children and young adults. Over 875 000 children ≤18 years of age die annually in the world as a result of injuries, mostly in low- and middle-income countries. Objective is to describe epidemiology of childhood unintentional home injuries in Karachi, Pakistan. Methods This was secondary analysis of a childhood unintentional injury surveillance database setup in the emergency …

Introduction Despite the importance of helmet in prevention of head injuries in motorcyclists, there is lack of use of helmet both by riders and pillion passengers. It is a common practice in Pakistan that women pillion passengers do not wear helmet. The objective of the study is to assess the knowledge of women pillion riders regarding the motorcycle safety especially use of helmets.
