Coverage, timeliness of measles immunisation and its predictors in Pakistan
BACKGROUND: Measles-related morbidity and mortality persists due to suboptimal and delayed vaccination, predominantly in low- and middle-income countries where more than 95% of global measles deaths occur. We evaluated the coverage, timeliness of measles vaccination and its predictors for children aged 12-23 months in Sindh, Pakistan. METHODS: We analysed immunisation data from Sindh Province's Electronic Immunisation Registry for 6.2 million chi…
Strengthening character among frontline health workers delivering care to underserved communities in Sindh, Pakistan
We conducted a multiphase mixed-methods pilot in two districts of Sindh, Pakistan, to evaluate the impact of a humanities-based curriculum on frontline health workers (FHWs). Rooted in local literature and arts, the curriculum aimed to foster character development and enhance well-being. A total of 112 FHWs participated in eight weekly sessions. We assessed the impact using an adapted Claremont Purpose Scale (CPS) pre- and post-intervention, alon…
Integrating humanities in healthcare
Lady health workers (LHWs) provide lifesaving maternal and child health services to >60% of Pakistan's population but are poorly compensated and overburdened. Moreover, LHWs' training does not incorporate efforts to nurture attributes necessary for equitable and holistic healthcare delivery. We developed an interdisciplinary humanities curriculum, deriving its strengths from local art and literature, to enhance character virtues such as empathy a…
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…
