The historical quarry for a lasting solution to the problem of rural development has led scholars and development planners to the realization that without a participatory approach, especially the participation of women in the developmental process, all the development efforts are inequitable and non-sustainable. Because of this truth, a participatory approach acquires universal importance and like many other less developed countries, a number of participatory initiatives were supported in Pakistan. With respect to participatory initiatives in Pakistan, Aga Khan Rural Supports Program (AKRSP) is one of the main contributors who has made valuable contributions in promoting rural development through community participation. The main focus of AKRSP is on fostering village organizations (VOs) and women organizations (WOs) and linking them with development institutions to accelerate the process of development. The prime rationale of the following study is to visualize the composite role of Women Organizations (WOs) in the socio-economic development both at micro and macro levels in Northern Areas (NAs) of Pakistan because as a part of the world wide range of development activities in NAs, WOs established by AKRSP, were conceived a new approach to development especially for women living in extreme poverty. The present study has drawn on a broad spectrum of case studies and experiences in Northern Areas of Pakistan to evaluate the economic interventions of Aga Khan Rural Support Program (AKRSP) which are implemented with the participation of local women A multistage random sampling technique is used to select the districts, number of villages and then interviewees. For this study the data was collected through interviewing xxi the two groups of women i.e., “registered and non-registered”. The data is analyzed using different statistical techniques including multiple regression, paired t-test and poverty gap index. The study concludes that AKRSP plays a major role in the socio-economic development of rural women and hence in rural development through credit and savings schemes, providing training in different fields of agriculture and also by social mobilization.

Effect of a Voice Recognition System on Paediatric Outpatient Medication Errors

Background: Medication errors have potential to cause harm and death; especially children who are three times more vulnerable than adults. Risk of medication errors is higher in out- patient settings due to a stressful work environment with less familiarity of individual patients. This problem in sub-Saharan Africa is however largely undetermined. A Voice Recognition System that converts verbal messages into text and stores it in a database in a retrievable format could impact on reduction of medication errors. Objectives: The primary objective was to compare medication prescription and dispensing errors in written prescriptions with those from a Voice Recognition System. Secondary objectives were to determine the types and frequency of medication errors, determinants of medication errors and acceptability of routine use of a Voice Recognition System to make medication prescriptions. Study design: A before -after Intervention study to determine the impact of introduction of a Voice Recognition System on the occurrence of medication errors. Methods: Prescriptions issued from the Paediatric Accident and Emergency Department at Aga Khan University Hospital Nairobi over a six month period were randomly selected and analyzed for errors. Patient‟s bio-data, diagnosis, prescriber‟s specialization and time of prescription were retrieved from outpatient medical records and documented in a standard study tool. A Voice Recognition System was installed and doctors and pharmacists consenting to use Voice Recognition were trained to enhance proficiency in its use. During consultations, doctors enrolled patients who provided written informed consent to have their prescriptions made using Voice Recognition. Prescription and dispensing records were analysed to determine the occurrence of medication errors. Questionnaires were issued to pharmacists and doctors to rate the use of Voice Recognition in the medication process. Results: During the VRS phase the proportion of female patients reviewed were 56.9% compared to 40% in the pre VRS phase. (OR= 0.5 (95% CI 0.37-0.69), P<0.001). The top five conditions diagnosed at the pediatric A&E department were upper respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and gastroenteritis. Incidence was similar in both pre VRS and VRS phases. (51.5% and 58.3% OR=0.74 (95% CI 0.53-1.01), P=0.063.) Overall, there was a 19.5% reduction in prescription errors from 86.1% in the pre Voice Recognition phase to 69.3% in the Voice Recognition phase (P<0.001). Among prescription errors analysed, there was a 31.9% reduction in omitted drug route (P <0.001) and a 64.8 % reduction in incorrect drug dose (P<0.001). Analysis of dispensing errors revealed the greatest
