Karachi, Pakistan – February 11 2026: A focused workshop on “When Disease Collide: Strategies to Manage Coinfections – TB, HIV, Hepatitis-C and Malaria” was held at the Training Room, Old Building, 4th Floor, Indus University Hospital. The session brought together healthcare professionals to enhance their capacity in diagnosing and managing patients with multiple infectious diseases, a growing challenge in high-burden settings.

The workshop emphasized integrated clinical approaches for managing co-infections, including TB–HIV, HIV–HCV, and HIV–malaria. Participants explored common clinical presentations, diagnostic challenges, and strategies to manage drug–drug interactions and overlapping toxicities in patients with multi-morbidity. Case-based discussions allowed attendees to apply patient-centered approaches and strengthen clinical decision-making skills in real-world scenarios.

Additionally, participants reviewed global and national trends in these diseases to inform evidence-based clinical decisions, ensuring better outcomes for patients with complex infections. By the end of the session, attendees were equipped to manage multi-infection cases confidently using integrated, evidence-based strategies.

The workshop was facilitated by a distinguished team from Indus Hospital & Health Network, including Dr. Maria Omar, Deputy Manager, TB Program; Jinsar Ali Shah, Program Manager; Dr. Afsheen Faraz, Program Lead – Malaria; and Dr. Hina Shakeel, Specialist, Family Medicine.

This initiative reflects IHHN’s commitment to strengthening clinical expertise and improving patient outcomes in managing complex infectious disease co-infections.
