Doctors taking bribes from pharmaceutical companies is common and not substantially reduced by an educational intervention
INTRODUCTION: Incentive-linked prescribing, which is when healthcare providers accept incentives from pharmaceutical companies for prescribing promoted medicines, is a form of bribery that harms patients and health systems globally. We developed a novel method using data collectors posing as pharmaceutical company sales representatives to evaluate private doctors' engagement in incentive-linked prescribing and the impact of a multifaceted educati…
Healthcare consumers’ perceptions of incentive-linked prescribing
Incentive-linked prescribing (ILP) is considered a controversial practice universally. If incentivised, physicians may prioritise meeting pharmaceutical sales targets through prescriptions, rather than considering patients’ health and wellbeing. Despite the potential harms of ILP to patients and important stakeholders in the healthcare system, healthcare consumers (HCCs) which include patients and the general public often have far less awareness …
Health research priorities in Pakistan
Background: The National Health Vision of Pakistan 2016-2025 is to provide affordable health services through a resilient and responsive health system for achieving health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and universal health coverage (UHC) targets. Through this study, we wanted to identify the research priorities at the national level that would help to provide the necessary evidence for achieving this vision through essential packag…
Socioecological factors linked with pharmaceutical incentive-driven prescribing in Pakistan
Pharmaceutical marketing through financial incentivisation to general practitioners (GPs) is a poorly studied health system problem in Pakistan. Pharmaceutical incentivisation is seen to be distorting GPs prescribing behaviour that can compromise the health and well-being of patients. We draw on a conceptual framework outlined in the ecological system theory to identify multiple factors linked with pharmaceutical incentivisation to GPs in Pakista…
Behavioral problems and its associated factors among siblings of children with developmental disabilities
The typically developing siblings of children with disabilities are vulnerable to behavioral problems as they grow up in an environment of considerable stress. Yet, the needs and behavior problems of these siblings are often neglected especially in Pakistan. In this cross-sectional study, we assessed the behavior problems among siblings of children with developmental disabilities. The strength and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) was administered…
Depression literacy in women attending university hospital clinics in Riyadh Saudi Arabia
BACKGROUND: Depression literacy in general population constitutes an ability to understand depression, with knowledge of disease, its risk factors and symptoms. High levels of depression literacy promote early intervention, potentially reducing related disability. AIM: This study investigated the depression literacy in women visitors to clinics of a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. METHODS: Women of 18 and more years were surveyed …
Development and validation of sunlight exposure measurement questionnaire (SEM-Q) for use in adult population residing in Pakistan
The sunlight exposure measurement questionnaires were valid tools for use in large epidemiological studies to quantify sunlight exposure
Does improving maternal knowledge of vaccines impact infant immunization rates? A community-based randomized-controlled trial in Karachi, Pakistan
A simple educational intervention designed for low-literate populations, improved DPT-3/Hepatitis B vaccine completion rates by 39%. These findings have important implications for improving routine immunization rates in Pakistan
