Assessing family planning progress in exemplar countries
Family planning (FP) is a critical component of reproductive health, enabling individuals to plan the number and timing of children through various contraceptive methods. We outline the conceptual framework and country case study methodology used by the Exemplars in Family Planning (EFP) project. This was based on the wider Exemplars in Global Health programme, which uses mixed-methods to examine determinants of FP progress in countries that exce…
Progress in family planning in Sierra Leone
INTRODUCTION: Expanding access to voluntary family planning is a global health priority, yet progress has been uneven across low-income and middle-income countries. Despite being a fragile state with historically high fertility and limited health resources, Sierra Leone has achieved one of the fastest increases in modern contraceptive prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa. This study explores the drivers of this progress through a mixed-methods case s…
Policy in practice
BACKGROUND: Senegal has made significant progress in family planning (FP), with the modern contraceptive prevalence rate (mCPR) increasing from 12% in 2010 to 26% in 2023, along with a sharp decline in unmet need. Once among West Africa's lowest performers, Senegal now stands out for its advancements in FP access and equity. OBJECTIVES: This study examines the main factors driving Senegal's FP progress-including policy leadership, financing mecha…

Digitizing tuberculosis treatment monitoring in Wuhan city, China, 2020–2021
Introduction: Digital technologies can improve adherence to tuberculosis (TB) treatment. We studied the impact of digitizing TB treatment monitoring on adherence among TB patients in Wuhan, China, during 2020-2021. Methods: We compared an electronic system introduced to monitor TB medication adherence (e-Patient Service System; e-PSS) with the p paper-based standard of care (TB Control Information System; TCIS) in terms of prescribed TB treatment…
Geographic accessibility to childhood tuberculosis care in Pakistan
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) in children is difficult to detect and often needs specialists to diagnose; the health system is supposed to refer to higher level of health care when diagnosis is not settled in a sick child. In Pakistan, the primary health care level can usually not diagnose childhood TB and will refer to a paediatricians working at a secondary or tertiary care hospital. We aimed to determine the health services access to child TB …
How do private practitioners in Pakistan manage children suspected having tuberculosis? A cross sectional study
This study showed that many private providers referred children suspected having TB to laboratories for further diagnosis, but the cases identified in these investigations were often not notified to the NTP. This problem could be resolved by strengthening the referral linkages between private health providers, NTP laboratories and treatment centres through capacity building and training of their staff
