Cervical-cancer screening strategies that involve the use of conventional cytology and require multiple visits have been impractical in developing countries.We used computer-based models to assess cost-effectiveness a variety cervical-cancer India, Kenya, Peru, South Africa, Thailand. Primary data were combined with from literature estimate age-specific incidence mortality rates for cancer effectiveness treatment precancerous lesions. We assessed direct medical, time, program-related costs...

Institutional care is a growing component of health costs in low- and middle-income countries, but local planners these countries have inadequate knowledge the different medical services. In India, greater utilisation hospital services driven both by rising incomes government insurance programmes that cover cost inpatient services; however, there still paucity unit information from Indian hospitals. this study, we estimated operating per outpatient visit, stay, emergency room surgery for...
BackgroundThe way in which a government chooses to finance health intervention can affect the uptake of interventions and consequently extent gains. In addition gains, some policies such as public insure against catastrophic expenditures. We aimed evaluate financial risk protection benefits selected that could be publicly financed by Ethiopia.MethodsWe used extended cost-effectiveness analysis assess gains (deaths averted) afforded (cases poverty bundle nine (among many other) Government...
Background Cost-effectiveness rankings of health interventions are useful inputs for national healthcare planning and budgeting. Previous comprehensive low- middle- income countries were undertaken in 2005 2006, accompanying the development strategies Millennium Development Goals. We update using studies published since 2000, as being considered Sustainable Methods Expert systematic searches literature a broad range interventions. results Disability Adjusted Life-Years (DALYs) outcome...
Background In November 2011, the GAVI Alliance made decision to add HPV vaccine as one of new vaccines for which countries eligible its funding (less than $1520 per capita income) could apply receive support national vaccination, provided they demonstrate ability deliver vaccines. This paper describes data and analysis shared with policymakers this regarding support. The reviews why strategies costs delivery are different from other what is known about cost components available that...
Antenatal care (ANC) is a key strategy to decreasing maternal mortality in low-resource settings. ANC clinics provide resources improve nutrition and health knowledge promote preventive practices. We sought compare the knowledge, attitude practices (KAP) among women seeking not-seeking rural Kenya. Data from community-based cross-sectional survey conducted Western Province, Kenya were used. Nutrition (NKS), (HKS), score (AS), dietary diversity (DDS) constructed indices. χ2 test Student's...
New vaccine introductions have put strains on supply chains around the world. While increasing storage and transportation may be most straightforward options, it is also important to consider what financial operational benefits can incurred. In 2012, suboptimal coverage impending prompted Republic of Benin's Ministry Health (MOH) explore ways improve their chain.Working alongside Beninese MOH, we utilized our computational model, HERMES, impact cost availability three possible options: (1)...
Objective To estimate the incremental delivery cost of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination young adolescent girls in Peru, Uganda and Viet Nam.Methods Data were collected from a sample facilities that participated five demonstration projects for HPV vaccine delivery: schoolbased was used Nam; health-centre-based also integrated delivery, which involved existing health services, Uganda.Microcosting methods to guide data collection on use resources (i.e.staff, supplies equipment) obtained...
Home HIV counselling and testing (HTC) achieves high coverage of linkage to care compared with existing facility-based approaches, particularly among asymptomatic individuals. In a modelling analysis we aimed assess the effect on population-level health cost-effectiveness community-based package home HTC in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.We parameterised an individual-based model data from field studies that achieved (91%) antiretroviral therapy (80%) rural Africa. Costs were derived linked...
Health systems aim to narrow inequality in access health care across socioeconomic groups and area of residency. However, low-income countries, studies are lacking that systematically monitor evaluate programs with regard their effect on specific inequalities. We aimed measure changes maternal child (MCH) interventions the Primary Care (PHC) facilities expansion Ethiopia. The Demographic Survey datasets from Ethiopia (2005 2011) were used. calculated utilization MCH morbidity. Concentration...
Programmatic approaches for delivering pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to pregnant and postpartum women in settings with high HIV burden are undefined. The PrEP Implementation Young Women Adolescents (PrIYA) Program developed maternal child health (MCH) clinics.Under the PrIYA Program, nurse-led teams worked MCH staff at 16 public, faith-based, private facilities Kisumu, Kenya, determine optimal clinic flow integration into antenatal care (ANC) postnatal (PNC). A program-dedicated nurse...
