Traditional screening tools like the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) and Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE), often based on questionnaires, face criticism for subjectivity, limited generalisability to diverse populations (especially in low- and middle-income countries, LMICs), and difficulty detecting subclinical disease. This commentary explores the potential of artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiogram (AI + ECG) analysis as a superior alternative. AI + ECG leverages objective electrophysiological data, offering automated, potentially more accurate, cost-effective, and accessible risk stratification, particularly valuable in resource-constrained settings where 80% of cardiovascular deaths occur. Evidence suggests AI + ECG models outperform traditional methods in various diagnostic tasks and show promise in cost-effectiveness. However, significant gaps remain, primarily the need for validation in diverse global populations, especially LMICs. This paper argues for a policy shift towards AI + ECG screenings, advocating for urgent, large-scale validation trials, development of ethical and regulatory frameworks, and sustained funding to democratise early IHD detection and reduce global mortality.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47637,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Health Planning and Management","volume":"41 4","pages":"781-785"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147575881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Transgender Act of 2019 and SMILE—Support for Marginalised Individuals for Livelihood and Enterprise project by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment in 2022 have boosted the efforts further. The Act emphasises that at least one government hospital in a state should provide safe and free gender-affirming surgery and related services. A major component of the SMILE scheme focuses on transgender health, providing a comprehensive medical health package in conjunction with the integration of Ayushman Bharat—Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY).

In order to ensure effective implementation, an inclusive approach across the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of health system is warranted.

Establishment of a dedicated transgender OPD, separate wards/units, measures to improve quality of holistic care, sensitisation of care providers and hospital machinery, continuous medical education and advocacy for equal access are some of the measures suggested for institutionalisation of services.

This enables us to determine whether migrants are victims of occupational downgrading in the host country or whether it is a deliberate choice. We investigated the willingness among HCWs in Nigeria to accept occupational downgrading post-migration. Using a cross-sectional online survey, we analysed responses from 411 respondents who indicated emigration intentions. We computed logistic regression models at a 95% level of significance. We found that 65.3% of healthcare workers reported a willingness to accept occupational downgrading. Male HCWs were twice as likely as their female counterparts to accept occupational downgrading, and pharmacists were 16 times more likely to accept it than medical doctors and dentists. Work hours and job satisfaction were also significantly associated with the acceptance of occupational downgrading.

Three patterns support this interpretation: the contrast between uniformly low influenza uptake and higher HPV coverage in younger cohorts, the sharp decline in coverage among older youth after school-based eligibility, and the poorer uptake among recent immigrants who may not be captured by established delivery pathways. Together, these findings suggest that under-vaccination accumulates when adolescents age out of school-based programmes, miss catch-up opportunities, or enter the system through newcomer pathways that are poorly linked to immunisation services. Prior evidence from Alberta and other settings indicates that organised school-based delivery, registry-supported follow-up, and strong provider recommendation can substantially improve coverage, while disruptions to these systems are associated with marked declines. We therefore propose that adolescent vaccine uptake should be conceptualised less as a residual behavioural problem and more as a delivery-system transition problem.

Traditional methods based on pristine Body Mass Index (BMI) fail to encapsulate the multifaceted biological and lifestyle variables responsible for weight gain, leading to misclassification and treatment unresponsiveness. To overcome the challenge of a precise obesity classification, this study proposes two hybrid Artificial Intelligence (AI) models—CNN + TabNet and Self-Attention BiLSTM (SA-BiLSTM) + TabNet—that conjointly employs deep characterisation learning and TabNet's sparse attention–mechanism feature selection.

The novel approach of blending TabNet's dynamic sparse-attention feature selection with CNN- and SA-BiLSTM-based deep characterisations enables the joint spatial-temporal learning with interpretable and data-efficient obesity prediction.
