The Critical Creative Innovative Thinking (CCIT) is a forum formed at the Aga Khan University (AKU) in Karachi, Pakistan, aiming to provide an arena conducive to lateral thinking and to equip biomedical professionals with the skill set to enable and promote creativity and innovation in paediatric care for resource-limited backgrounds.
The promoter of this project, Asad Mian, (Departments of Emergency Medicine, Paediatrics & Child Health, AKU) tells global commissioning editor of ADC, Nick Brown, how the CCIT is making a positive difference in Pakistan and could be applied to other low-income settings.
Dr Mian is also an Associate Professor at the AKU. Read the article “Paediatric Innovation In Pakistan Our Experience And A Call To Action” in the Archives of Diseases in Childhood website: http://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2017/05/26/archdischild-2016-312123.

The global eradication of polio is closer than ever. Milestones in this effort include the eradication of type-2 polio (one of three), the ongoing introduction of inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) into routine immunisation schedules, and the complex synchronised switch from trivalent OPV (all three types) to bivalent OPV (types 1 and 3) in all OPV-using countries during two weeks in April, 2016.
A year on since the implementation of that switch, Julie Garon (Department of Infectious Diseases, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia, USA) describes it as an “overall huge success”, involving coordination and commitment from all levels of vaccination programs. However, work is still needed to eliminate the final cases of wild poliovirus.
Ms. Garon talks Associate Editor of ADC Nick Brown through the rationale behind and the steps involved in the unprecedented synchronised switch from tOPV to bOPV.
