This document describes a project aimed at improving access to health services and quality of care for mothers and children in Tanzania. It outlines the implementation research team leading the project and focuses on incorporating social and gender considerations into the research design. Specifically, it discusses (1) using a social and gender focus to understand factors influencing access and utilization of maternal and child health services, (2) designing interventions to ensure equitable access through engagement of men and women, and (3) conducting a social and gender analysis to evaluate the impact on different groups. Preliminary baseline findings assess decision-making roles and barriers to health access. The project employs participatory women's groups and gender training to empower women and promote equitable access to care.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.

Objective 1: Understand the processes and context at the community and health facility level that affect
acceptability, quality, equity and utilization of maternal, newborn and child health services.
• SAGF is to better understand how gender, equity, social and cultural values, norms and practices, beliefs
and perceptions are related to acceptability, quality, access and utilization of MNCH services
Objective 2: Understand the mechanisms by which the integrated demand and supply side interventions may
influence the acceptability, quality, equity and utilization of MNCH services.
• SAGF is to assess how gender, equity, social and cultural values, norms and practices, values, beliefs and
perceptions and other Social and Gendered learnings can be integrated into the demand and supply side
interventions of the project to ensure equitable aceess and utilization of quality MNCH services through
active engagement of men and women in the community and health facility
Objective 3: Assess the impact of community level and health facility level interventions on acceptability,
quality, equity and utilization of MNCH services
• SAGF is to conduct social and gender analyses at different stages of assessment and impact evaluation
of the research to assess variations/improvements in
a. access to health services and QoC for Mothers and Children by different social identity groups
b. roles and responsibilities of men and women in relation to MNCH services
c. decision making roles and responsibilities among men and women in relation to access and
utilization of MNCH services
4. By nature the target beneficiaries are pro-poor marginalized group
Social and gender focused baseline situation analyses through a mixed method approach
• Quantitative household survey of mothers/caregivers of children 0-23.9 mo
• Quantitative health facility assessment and exit interview of mothers/caregivers of children 0-23.9 mo and
pregnant and lactating women
• Qualitative assessment of social and gender relations in men and women regarding MNCH (FGDs & IDIs)
Attention was given to recruit women from poor households as well as women living with HIV/AIDS in
order to ensure that the voices of the marginalized women are taken into account.
FGDs were conducted separately for men and women to ensure that women expressed their views
freely without being dominated by men.
Intervention design based on existing gender and social consideration to empower women, increase women’s
voice in the community and promote women’s leadership in MNCH services through
• Women’s participatory Learning and Action Groups (WPLAG) meetings
• Sharing WPLAG findings through community meetings to engage husbands, men and other community
members in MNCH
• Gender equity and social inclusion (GESI) training to all project staff, facility staff and members of Health
Facility Governing Committee (HFGCs)
• Ongoing monitoring of intervention processes to assess equity in project participation, access to and
utilization of MNCH services
Impact evaluation to assess project impact on various social identity groups (disaggregated by age, education,
socioeconomic status, geographic location/facility catchment area, HIV status and so on)
Social and Gendered Dimensions of Research Methods
5. Social and Gendered Dimensions of Baseline Tools
Household survey tools included social and gendered focused questions
• HH socio-economic status, women’s education and decision making on major
household purchases, health care including decision on place of delivery
• Health care provisions from a male or female care provider and women’s
preference including privacy during care seeking at health facility
• Social and perception factors related to delay, access and utilization of facilities
Health facility assessment tools looked into
• Ratio of men and women member in the Health Facility Governing Committee
• User fee waiver for poor families, pregnant women, under-five children or over-
sixty clients
• Infrastructural, funding and resource status of the health facility
• Family planning and obstetric services provided at the facility
6. Social and Gendered Dimensions of Baseline Tools
Health facility exit interview tools looked into
• Social, economic and perception factors related to delay, access and utilization of
facilities
• Barriers and facilitators of care seeking at the facility from women users’
perspective
Social and gender assessment tools included
• Men and women participants including traditional birth attendants, faith leaders
and health workers
• Focused on gender, equity, social and cultural values, norms and practices, beliefs
and perceptions related to acceptability, quality, access and utilization of MNCH
services including barriers and enabling factors
7. Completed baseline assessment including social and gender focused IDIs (80) and FGDs (#38) using tools
that included questions on social and gender relations of MNCH services (467 HHS, 19 HFA and 217 exit
interviews in both intervention and comparison sites)
For example, FGDs with women addressed issues around men accompanying women during care
seeking at health facilities and decision making power of women and men as regard to MNCH
20 WPLAG was formed in 20 intervention villages which included a total of 400 women (15-49 years, ≥2
pregnant women in each group, ≥2 Champion women in each group)—to conduct WPLAG meetings
For example, these WPLAG meetings are conducted by women community members but findings
are shared periodically with other men and women in the communities to facilitate men’s
engagement and accountability
40 Women Group Facilitators (WGFs) was recruited from 20 intervention villages (male: female=1:1)
WPLAGs and WGFs were trained on participatory action research and social and gender equity issues

Current/Emerging Social and Gendered Research Findings
9. Current/Emerging Social and Gendered Research Findings
Baseline qualitative social and gender analyses
Men are mainly responsible for household decision making although in some cases decisions are
made jointly
Although women have limited decision making power, “permission” from the male partner is “not
a big problem” to access MNCH services
Entrenched belief is that men are not responsible for pregnancy and childbirth related matters
Walking is the main mode of attending health facility
Distance to the health facility and economic factors are barriers to access in some wards
Transportation and costs are major challenges for transferring referred critically ill patent and
pregnant women during delivery
Despite these barriers, women still prefer to give birth in a health facility and believes that TBAs
are not adequately equipped to handle deliveries (Baseline HHS reported 97.4% health facility
delivery rate)
Drug stock-out and staff-shortage were mentioned as barriers to access adequate care in some
facilities
