Detection of Cervical Precancer Using Visual Inspection Method with Acetic Acid.

Background: Cervical cancer screening is the priority activity of the government. Visual inspection with Acetic acid (VIA), Pap smear Liquid-based cytology, and HPV DNA testing are different methods of screening. VIA-based screening is the cost-effective method of screening in a resource-constrained setting like in our country as this doesn't require cyto-histological testing, can be performed by trained paramedics too, and is as accurate as a cytological test.

Implementing a simplified neonatal resuscitation protocol-helping babies breathe at birth (HBB) - at a tertiary level hospital in Nepal for an increased perinatal survival.

Background: Reducing neonatal death has been an emerging challenge in low and middle income countries in the past decade. The development of the low cost interventions and their effective delivery are needed to reduce deaths from birth asphyxia. This study will assess the impact of a simplified neonatal resuscitation protocol provided by Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) at a tertiary hospital in Nepal.
