Global Child Health - An informal forum is driving innovation in Pakistan

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.
