Senior Research Assistant, Department of Medicine
12 hours ago
The Aga Khan University was founded in 1983 as Pakistan's first private university. Aga Khan University is a not-for-profit institution and an agency of the Aga Khan Development Network. Starting in 2000, the University expanded to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, United Kingdom and Afghanistan. AKU began life as a health-sciences university.
Despite global TB control efforts being implemented over the last 25 years, the disease remains a global public health threat with 9.9 million new cases and 1.3 million deaths estimated in 2020. One of the key high-risk groups within the TPT target comprises household contacts of pulmonary TB patients (index TB patients). To date, the global implementation of this intervention has been poor. In the three years between 2018 and 2020, 1.2 million (29% of target) household contacts aged < 5 years and 0.32 million other household contacts (1.6% of target) received TPT: this amounts to 6.3% of all household contacts. We believe that the "7-1-7" target can be adapted to household contact investigation in the context of TB control efforts, and thus enable household contact screening and initiation of TPT or active TB treatment to be timely and efficient.
