  • In 2018, the WHO and India's Ministry of Health initiated the Learning Districts Initiative to enhance the National Adolescent Health Programme at the district level and to gather insights from its implementation.
  • An assessment from 2019 to 2023 utilized various data collection methods to evaluate the initiative's development, government collaboration, effectiveness, and potential for sustainability within the health system.
  • By 2022, notable progress was made in integrating adolescent health into district agendas, building staff capacity, and facilitating structured health activities, although challenges like staffing issues and low adolescent engagement still need to be addressed.

Medical image analysis and classification is an important application of computer vision wherein disease prediction based on an input image is provided to assist healthcare professionals. There are many deep learning architectures that accept the different medical image modalities and provide the decisions about the diagnosis of various cancers, including breast cancer, cervical cancer, etc. The Pap-smear test is the commonly used diagnostic procedure for early identification of cervical cancer, but it has a high rate of false-positive results due to human error.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and the breast mass recognition model can effectively assist doctors in clinical diagnosis. However, the scarcity of medical image samples makes the recognition model prone to overfitting. A breast mass recognition model integrated with deep pathological information mining is proposed: constructing a sample selection strategy, screening high-quality samples across different mammography image datasets, and dealing with the scarcity of medical image samples from the perspective of data enhancement; mining the pathology contained in limited labeled models from shallow to deep information; and dealing with the shortage of medical image samples from the perspective of feature optimization.

Sex differentials in the uptake of HIV testing have been reported in a range of settings, however, men's and women's testing patterns are not consistent across these settings, suggesting the need to set sex differentials against gender norms in patient testing behaviour and provider practices. A community-based, cross-sectional survey among 347 people living with HIV in three HIV high prevalence districts of India examined reasons for undergoing an HIV test, location of testing and conditions under which individuals were tested. HIV testing was almost always provider-initiated for men.
