  • COHRED Paper Research to Action and Policy PAKISTAN Mary Hilderbrand, Jonathan Simon, and Adnan Hyder Pakistan Faces a Wide Arra
    COHRED paper Research to Action and Policy PAKISTAN Mary Hilderbrand, Jonathan Simon, and Adnan Hyder Pakistan faces a wide array of health challenges, including communicable diseases and nutritional deficiencies connected with poverty and low levels of development, as well as non- communicable conditions more commonly associated with affluent countries. The former are major contributors to the national disease burden. The extent to which they continue to threaten and diminish the well-being of Pakistan’s children is of particular concern. Conquering them will require a wide range of resources and actions, some well beyond the concerns of health policy. But how effectively health policy and programs address the challenges remains critical, and health research can potentially be an important contributor to effective, efficient, and equitable policies and programs. Since at least 1953, with the founding of the Pakistan Medical Research Council (PMRC), Pakistan has officially recognized the importance of research in solving the health problems of the country. There have been repeated calls for more support for health research and for such research to be utilized more fully in policy. The 1990 and 1998 National Health Policies both mentioned research utilization as important and pledged to strengthen it (Government of Pakistan, Ministry of Health, 1990 and 1998). A process of defining an essential national health research agenda occurred in the early nineties and recently has been rejuvenated (COHRED 1999). We conducted a study to understand better the role that research plays in child health policy and programs in Pakistan.1 In open-ended, in-depth interviews, we asked informants about their views on health research and policy generally in Pakistan and about their own experience in linking research with policy.

  • Adding It Up: Costs and Benefits of Meeting the Contraceptive and Maternal and Newborn Health Needs of Women in Pakistan
    Adding It Up: Costs and Benefits Of Meeting the Contraceptive and Maternal and Newborn Health Needs of Women in Pakistan Aparna Sundaram, Rubina Hussain, Zeba Sathar, Sabahat Hussain, Emma Pliskin and Eva Weissman Key Points ■■ Modern contraceptive services and maternal and newborn health care are essential for protecting the health of Pakistani women, their families and communities. ■■ Based on data from 2017, women in Pakistan have an estimated 3.8 million unintended pregnancies each year, most of which result from unmet need for modern contraception. ■■ About 52% of married women of reproductive age (15–49) who want to avoid a pregnancy are not using a modern contraceptive method. If all unmet need for modern contraception were met, there would be 3.1 million fewer unintended pregnancies annually, 2.1 million fewer induced abortions and nearly 1,000 fewer maternal deaths. ■■ Pakistan is currently spending US$81 million per year on contraceptive services. Serving the full unmet need for modern contraception would require an additional US$92 million per year, for a total of US$173 million, based on public-sector health care costs. ■■ At current levels of contraceptive use, providing maternal and newborn health care to all women who have unintended pregnancies, at the standards recommended by the World Health Organization, would cost an estimated US$298 million. ■■ If all women wanting to avoid a pregnancy used modern contraceptives and all pregnant women and their newborns received the recommended care, the country would save US$152 million, compared with a scenario in which only maternal and newborn health care were increased.

  • Investigation on the Prevalence of Leukaemia at a Tertiary Care Hospital, Lahore
    INVESTIGATION ON THE PREVALENCE OF LEUKAEMIA AT A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL, LAHORE NIGHAT NASIM, KALIMUDDIN MALIK, NAUMAN A. MALIK SHAISTA MOBEEN, SAUD AWAN AND NAGHMANA MAZHAR Department of Pathology, PGMI / Lahore General Hospital, Lahore ABSTRACT Introduction: Cancer in all forms is causing about 12% deaths throughout the world. After recent advances and improvement in treatment and prevention in cardiovascular diseases, tumour is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. 1 The incidence of leukaemia across the world is 1 per 100,000 annually. It contributes to 25% of childhood cancers. 2 The study was designed to investi- gate the Prevalence of Leukemia subtypes at Lahore General Hospital / The Graduate Medical Insti- tute, Lahore and was carried out in the Bone Marrow Clinic. The study was cross – sectional pros- pective. The period of the study was two year from 01 June, 2010 to 30 June, 2012. Methodology: Complete blood counts, bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsies were perfor- med according to standard methods. Results: In a total of 45 cases of leukaemia, acute leukemia was more prevalent than chronic leu- kaemia. The ratio of acute and chronic leukaemias was 4:1. Male to female ratio was 1.3: 1. Most of the patients (42%) were below the age of 15 years. ALL (49%) was more common than AML (31%). Among chronic leukaemias, CML (16%) was more common than CLL (2%) and CMML (2%). The study of acute leukaemia subtypes revealed that ALL – L2 was more common (77%) than L 1 (24%). In AML subtypes, M3 (57%) was most prevalent while M 2 (14%) and M 4 (14%) and M 1 (7%) and M 6 (7%) were less prevalent of leukaemia subtypes.

  • Pakistanmamau Trainingstudyjun5 Al Edited Ah Ah
    Reinvigorating the Postpartum IUCD Using a Low-Cost Simulation Model Overview Jhpiego Pakistan, in collaboration with Saving Lives at Birth, conducted a study trial of a new, portable, low-cost training simulation model called Mama-U. Designed in partnership with Laerdal Global Health, the Mama-U was developed specifically to train health care providers on the insertion of the postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD). The main objectives of this study were to measure acceptability and appropriateness of the Mama-U, feasibility of this technology, confidence of providers during training and retention of provider skills associated with this new training simulation model. Given that the PPIUCD is new to family planning programs in Pakistan, the Mama-U was introduced to facilitate effective training of physicians, nurses and midwives to improve their insertion skills for placement of an IUCD after birth and to reduce the rate of expulsion. Eighty-eight health care providers—the majority of whom were physicians—participated in the study and were trained using the Mama-U model. Seventy clients were interviewed in a follow- up to the study. The key findings were: • 82% of the providers trained using the Mama-U model stated that they felt confident in providing PPIUCD services.
