FROM SURGICAL WARD TO THE COMMUNITY: A TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH MODEL FOR CYSTIC ECHINOCOCCOSIS INSPIRED BY THE ALMATY DECLARATION ON PRIMARY HEALTH CARE (1978)

Résumé fourni par la source

Cystic echinococcosis is a neglected zoonotic disease with a heavy burden on surgical wards in endemic countries such. Despite advances in diagnostics and treatment, a gap persists between research findings and their translation into patient care and community-level control. In this mini-review, Cystic echinococcosis is discussed as a model for translational research within the framework of Primary Health Care tracing the path from bench to bedside and back. The Iranian experience, led by the Research Center for Hydatid Disease, demonstrates how surgical and clinical observations can drive innovations in registries, diagnostics, community education, and policy initiatives such as humane dog population management. This cycle of evidence generation, implementation, and feedback represents the essence of translational research, bringing science and services closer to people, as envisioned by the Almaty Declaration on Primary Health Care in 1978.
