Essential medicines or drugs are recognized as highly cost-effective components within contemporary healthcare, demonstrating significant potential for improving health outcomes. The provision of essential medicines directly impacts the functioning of healthcare facilities, resulting in financial hardship. This review aims to fill knowledge gaps by examining obstacles hindering access and utilization of essential medicines in India. This study conducted a comprehensive evidence synthesis, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, to analyse articles on the availability and utilization of essential medicines in India. The search strategy included various databases and keywords. Published, peer-reviewed articles focusing on the National/ State List of Essential Medicines and meeting specific criteria were considered. Data items included essential medicines, drug availability, utilization, and challenges. Data was extracted, synthesized, and analysed using thematic framework analysis. Out of 1,129 articles, 11 were selected for review. Studies consistently highlighted the inadequate availability of essential medicines in different Indian states. Availability of essential medicines varies in the range of 17-51 percent across major states of India. Stock-outs of medicines vary from 4 to 14 weeks. Governance issues including differential procurement mechanisms across states of India, hinder seamless availability of essential medicines. Other challenges included distribution and purchasing system inefficiencies, governance-related issues, and facility/ user-level challenges impacting drug utilization. Disruptions in utilization were observed due to improper prescription practices and non-availability of affordable options. Accessibility and affordability also affected drug utilization. Issues with supply chain management and conflicting guidelines further contributed to the obstacles faced in ensuring availability and utilization of essential medicines in India. Ensuring the availability, accessibility, and affordability of essential medicines is of utmost importance. The public health system needs to strengthen its procurement and distribution management. Strengthening the logistics support for an efficient supply of essential medicines will reduce the time lag in receipt of drugs. Guidelines on essential drugs prepared by the National Health System Resource Centre need to be strictly adhered to and monitored in inventory management system. There is an urgent need to develop a sustainable model for achieving uniformity in the availability and utilization of essential medicines in India.

Background: Gujarat has implemented an mHealth program, technology for community health operations-plus (TeCHO+) in 2019. TeCHO+ is a mobile and web-based application that essentially enables data entry by the frontline workers providing service at the time and place of service delivery to improve the coverage and data quality. It also facilitates early identification of morbid condition and timely treatment. This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of TeCHO+ program in Gujarat. Materials and Methods: The study compared key program outcome indicators before and after the launch of TeCHO+ program. As the program was launched across the State, eMamta, the previous version of mother and child tracking system was used for comparison. A decision tree was parameterized to estimate change in disability-adjusted life year (DALY) and cost as a result of implementing TeCHO+ from a health system perspective. Results: TeCHO+ incurred a cost of Rs. 2,624 per beneficiary against Rs. 1,075 per beneficiary under the previous eMamta program. TeCHO+ has resulted in significant DALY averted through early identification of high-risk cases both among pregnant women and children. Overall, cost-effectiveness analysis indicated that TeCHO+ incurred an incremental cost of Rs. 1802.84 per DALY averted, which is 1.19% of the GDP per capita of India (year 2020). Conclusion: This study concludes that TeCHO+ is cost-effective for mother and child care and can be considered for replicating. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Ahmedabad city reported the highest number of cases and deaths. In order to guide various interventions and monitor future trends, evidence is required. Hence, we conducted the present study to explore the epidemiological determinants, clinical profile, risk factors, and predictors of mortality of COVID-19. Methods: This was a retrospective record-based descriptive study of 2268 confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted in a designated COVID hospital of Ahmedabad city from March to July 2020. Results: The median age of patients was 54 years, and 60.9% of them were males. Majority (83.27%) had comorbidities; the most common comorbidity was hypertension (62.59%) followed by diabetes (44.76%). The most common symptoms reported were fever (69.76%), breathlessness (55.47%), and cough (53.18%). Majority (61.12%) of the patients showed lymphocytopenia, and in one-third (34.85%), D-dimer levels were elevated (>1 μg/ml). Odds of inhospital deaths were higher in patients having breathlessness and gastrointestinal symptoms and comorbidities. More of the deceased had leukocytosis and lymphocytopenia, high D-dimer levels, C-reactive protein, and altered liver function tests as compared to the survivors. Conclusion: While making decisions such as prevention of exposure of high-risk population to the infection, control of the existing comorbid condition, and prioritization of this population for vaccination, criteria of case definition for surveillance keeping in mind the typical and atypical manifestations of the disease, require robust evidence which the current study could provide insight to.

Information on people living with HIV (PLHIV) and current COVID-19 pandemic is still scarce in Indian setting. This case series of PLHIV with COVID-19 describes clinical characteristics and outcome in this special group of patients. This case series included 11 confirmed cases of COVID-19 among PLHIV admitted at a tertiary care hospital in Gujarat, India during April–December 2020. This retrospective study was conducted by doing secondary data analysis from case records of patients for various variables including demographic, clinical characteristics, HIV-related parameters, and outcome (discharged/death). The mean age of patients was 39.2 years ranging from 20 to 55 years. Nearly, 18% (2/11) of patients had major comorbidities like diabetes and hypertension. All were taking antiretroviral therapy drugs with >95% drug adherence and had CD4 count ranging from 79/cu.mm. to 1189/cu.mm. Majority (91%) of patients recovered and were discharged while only one patient (9%) died during course of COVID-19 treatment. COVID-19 showed a similar clinical and epidemiological profile among PLHIV like other group of people. Further studies with large-sample size are recommended to find risks of COVID-19 among PLHIV and its impact on treatment outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Health and Family Welfare Department, Government of Gujarat, is implementing a program named Technology for Community Health Operation or TeCHO+ addressing state's priority health issues. This program envisages replacing the existing mother and child tracking system or e-Mamta application in the state. This program is based on ImTeCHO--Innovative Mobile Technology for Community Health Operations--which was piloted in Jhagadia, Bharuch district of Gujarat in 2013. The program showed improvements not only in terms of coverage of maternal and newborn care packages averting malnutrition but also was cost-effective. This paper details the protocol for health technology assessment to assess the impact of TeCHO+ program on data quality, improvement in service delivery coverage, reduction in morbidity and mortality as well as assess the cost-effectiveness. The study will be conducted in five districts of the state. A mixedmethod approach will be adopted. Data will be validated in a phased manner over a period of 3 years along with an assessment of key outcome indicators. Additionally, key informant interviews will be conducted and cost data will be gathered to perform cost-effectiveness analysis. The study will inform policymakers about the impact of TeCHO+ program on quality, access and cost-effectiveness of healthcare services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Reduced fat Cheddar cheeses, manufactured from pasteurized milk (1.3 7 to 1.38% fat) as control or from the same pasteurized milk supplemented with 5% ultrafiltered sweet buttermilk (UBM) as buttermilk treatment, were used to manufacture reduced fat Process cheese. Sixteen and 8 wk old reduced fat Cheddar cheese in 1: 1 blend and disodium phosphate and trisodium citrate ( 1: 1 blend) at 0.50, 1.25 or 2.00% w/w were used for each cheese treatment. Processing was carried out in an open steam-jacketed kettle with indirect heating to 71 °C for 3 min, cooling to room temperature and storing at 4 to 6°C. There were no differences between treatments (P > 0.05) in moisture (48%) and moisture in non fat substance of the Process cheeses. Because of compositional differences between base cheeses, Process cheeses from the buttermilk treatment had lower fat (P < 0.05) than the controls (14.48 vs. 15.10%) and were therefore harder. Ash and pH were not affected by UBM but increased (P < 0.05) with emulsifying salts level while hardness decreased. At similar emulsifying salts levels Process cheeses from the buttermilk treatment had lower (P < 0.05) free oil than control cheeses. Reduced fat Process cheeses from the buttermilk treatment melted less (P< 0.05) and had higher (P < 0.05) apparent viscosity than the control cheeses. Meltability increased in cheeses from the buttermilk treatment with increasing emulsifying salts up to 1.25%, while it was highest in the controls at 1.25%. The UBM did not influence sensory attributes, while emulsifying salts level only influenced mouthfeel and appearance, both being judged better at 2.00% than at 0 .50% emulsifying salts. Microstructure studies revealed a finer dispersion of fat in reduced fat Process cheeses from the buttermilk treatment at 0.50 and 1.25% emulsifying salts. These differences diminished at 2.00% emulsifying salts. This along with the lower free oil suggest better emulsification of fat in cheeses from the buttermilk treatment. The application of UBM to tailor functionality of reduced fat Process cheese appears to be promising.
