The Fair Priority Model offers a practical way to fulfill pledges distribute vaccines fairly and equitably
Health systems worldwide struggle to meet increasing demands for health care, and Norway is no exception. This paper discusses the new, comprehensive framework priority setting recently laid out by third Norwegian Committee on Priority Setting in Sector. The posits that should pursue goal of "the greatest number healthy life years all, fairly distributed" centres three criteria: 1) health-benefit criterion: an intervention increases with expected benefit (and other relevant welfare benefits)...
Two principles form the basis for much priority setting in health. According to greater benefit principle, resources should be directed toward intervention with health benefit. worse off benefiting those initially off. Jointly, these accord so-called prioritarianism. Crucial its operationalisation is specification of In this paper, we examine how can defined as fewer lifetime Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs). We contrast proposal several alternative specifications.
Background: Intersectoral collaboration is critical to the successful implementation of many public health interventions (PHIs). Little attention has been paid whether and how processes at stage evaluation can promote intersectoral collaboration. The objective this study was examine European experiences views on PHIs Methods: A qualitative design used. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 individuals centrally involved in 6 countries (Austria, Denmark, England, Germany, Norway,...
Geographical differences in health outcomes are reported many countries. Norway has led an active policy aiming for regional balance since the 1970s. Using data from Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2019, we examined development and current state across Norwegian counties.Data life expectancy, healthy expectancy (HALE), years lost (YLLs), lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) its 11 counties 1990 to 2019 were extracted GBD 2019. County-specific contributors...
Despite the documented benefits of using health technology assessments (HTA) to inform resource allocation in care systems, HTA remains underused, especially low- and middle-income countries. A survey global practitioners was conducted reveal top reasons ("excuses") that they had heard from colleagues, policymakers or other stakeholders for not their settings.
Multiple principles are relevant in priority setting, two of which often considered particularly important. According to the greater benefit principle, resources should be directed toward intervention with health benefit. This principle is intimately linked goal maximization and standard cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA). worse off benefiting those initially off. an idea equity. Together, accord prioritarianism; a view can motivate non-standard CEA. Crucial for actual application...
Most proposals for new international agreements aim to address important global challenges. If the goal is solve problems, then value of these depends on their ability influence world — shape norms, constrain behavior, facilitate cooperation, and mobilize action. A recent review empirical studies has suggested that many fail achieve aspirations. The indicates form in which states make commitments each other through an legal agreement or means may not be as commonly thought. It content how...

Abstract Recent developments have transformed the role and characteristics of middle-income countries (MICs). Many stakeholders now question appropriate MICs in system development assistance for health (DAH), key funders already recast their approach to these countries. The pressing is whether should be recipients, funders, both or neither. answer has deep implications individual citizens, DAH as a whole. We clarify fundamental issues involved emphasise special feature many MICs: mid-level...
We outline key conclusions of the World Health Organisation's report 'Making Fair Choices on Path to Universal Coverage (UHC)'. The Report argues that three principles should inform choices path UHC: I. be based need, with extra weight given needs worse off; II. One aim generate greatest total improvement in health; III. Contributions ability pay and not need. describe how these determine which trade-offs are (un)acceptable. also discuss institutions contribute fair accountable choices.
Background Choosing where to give birth can be a matter of life and death for both mother child. Migrants, registered or unregistered, may face different choices challenges than non-migrants. Despite this, previous research on the factors migrant women consider when deciding is very limited. This paper addresses this gap by examining women's decision making in respective border urban locale Thailand. Methods We held focus group discussions [13] with 72 non-Thai pregnant at non-government...
Development assistance for health targets younger more than older age groups, relative to their disease burden. This disparity increased between 1990 and 2013. There are several potential causes the increase.
Epidemics are among the greatest threats to humanity, and International Health Regulations world's key legal instrument for addressing this threat. Since their revision in 2005, IHR have faced two big tests: 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic 2014 Ebola epidemic West Africa. Both exposed major shortcomings of IHR, both offered profound lessons future. The objective Article is twofold. First, we seek compare learned from reforming order test hypothesis that they similar. Second, examine barriers...
