Establishment of a New Demographic and Health Surveillance Site in an Urban Resettlement Colony in Delhi to Study Disease-specific Epidemiology and Conduct Future Vaccine Trials
We will also estimate prevalence of other conditions of public health importance, build capacity in utilizing the data generated and to strengthen and impart new skills to the team.
The DHS will be established in Dakshinpuri, South Delhi, which is a low-middle-income setting with a population of around 2 lacs. Status: Study Ongoing

Optimizing Place of Treatment and Antibiotic Regimens for Young Infants Presenting with Signs of Possible Serious Bacterial Infection
In another study, we also aim to generate knowledge to allow us to assess if young infants with PSBI who need hospitalization but improve after 48 hours can be discharged early and continue to be treated at home. We will randomize 750 young infants with high-mortality risk signs: movement only when stimulated, not feeding well/stopped feeding well, ≥2 signs including low risk signs, who clinically improve after 48 hours of hospital treatment and have a negative CRP, to continue hospitalization for 5 d or be discharged from the hospital on oral amoxicillin BD for 5 d. Status: Study ongoing
