Estimating the costs of health interventions is important to policy-makers for a number reasons including fact that results can be used as component in assessment and improvement their system performance. Costs can, example, assess if scarce resources are being efficiently or whether there scope reallocate them way would lead improvements population health. As part its WHO-CHOICE project, WHO has been developing database on overall different parts world an input discussions about priority...
Nigeria has the second largest share of undiagnosed TB cases in world and a large private health sector estimated to be point initial care-seeking for 67% patients. There is evidence that COVID-19 restrictions disrupted healthcare provision, but insufficient data on how provision changed as result pandemic. We conducted qualitative interviews survey assess impact pandemic, government response disruptions providers experienced, particularly services. Using mixed methods, we targeted...
Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is the application of insecticide to interior walls household structures that often serve as resting sites for mosquito vectors malaria. Human exposure malaria reduced when IRS involves proper pre-determined concentrations active ingredient specific formulation choice. The impact can be affected by dosage insecticide, spray coverage, vector behavior, susceptibility insecticides, and efficacy applied. This report compiles data on insecticides used in campaigns...
Methods Overview9][20] Extended cost-effectiveness analysis is a policy assessment method for estimating the impact on three major outcomes: (i) health benefits (i.e. reduction in premature Objective To assess potential of new tax sweetened beverages deaths associated with noncommunicable diseases Philippines.Methods In January 2018, Philippines began imposing 6 Philippine pesos per litre (around 13%) to curb obesity burden.Using national data sources, we conducted an extended estimate...
Pre-COVID-19, individuals with tuberculosis (TB) in Nigeria were often underdiagnosed and untreated. TB services mostly the public sector only 15% of new cases 2019 reported from private sector. Reports highlighted challenges accessing care sector, which accounted for 67% all initial care-seeking. Our study examined patients' health seeking pathways Nigeria's explored any changes to during COVID-19.
Nigeria has a high burden of tuberculosis (TB) and low case detection rates. Nigeria's large private health sector footprint represents an untapped resource for combating the disease. To examine quality contributions to TB, USAID-funded Sustaining Health Outcomes through Private Sector (SHOPS) Plus program evaluated adherence national standards management presumptive confirmed TB among clinical facilities, laboratories, pharmacies, drug shops it trained deliver services. The study used...
Abstract Recent studies such as the Commission on Macroeconomics and Health have highlighted need for expanding coverage of services HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, immunisations other diseases. In order policy makers to plan these changes, they analyse change in costs when interventions are ‘scaled‐up’ cover greater percentages population. Previous suggest that applying current unit an entire population can misconstrue true intervention. This study presents methodology used WHO‐CHOICE's...
Objective To estimate the amount of additional resources needed to scale up maternal and newborn health services within context Millennium Development Goals, inform countries, donors multilateral agencies about achieve these goals.Methods A costing model based on WHO's clinical guidelines was used incremental resource needs for care in 75 countries.The estimated costs during pregnancy, childbirth, neonatal period postpartum period, as well family planning counselling, abortion post-abortion...
Objective: Nigeria has high rates of mother-to-child HIV transmission. We sought to determine whether new WHO recommendations for long-course antiretroviral therapy (ART) prophylaxis are cost-effective prevention transmission (PMTCT) compared short-course strategies in Nigeria. Design: conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis from health-system perspective, with target population consisting HIV-infected pregnant women Methods: A decision-analysis model two PMTCT: intervention – maternal...
Rotarix (GlaxoSmithKline), a newly licensed rotavirus vaccine requiring 2 doses, may have the potential to save hundreds of thousands lives in Africa. Nations such as Malawi, where is currently under phase III investigation, nevertheless face difficult economic choices considering adoption.The cost-effectiveness implementing program Malawi was estimated using published estimates burden, efficacy, and health care utilization costs.With 49.5% could avert 2582 deaths annually. With GAVI...
Regional generalized cost-effectiveness estimates of prevention, screening and treatment interventions for colorectal cancer are presented. Standardised WHO-CHOICE methodology was used. A model employed to provide effectiveness. Intervention effectiveness determined via a population state-transition (PopMod) that simulates the evolution sub-regional accounting births, deaths disease epidemiology. Economic costs procedures were estimated, including programme overhead training costs. In...
This paper assesses the extent of financial burden due to out-of-pocket payments for health care incurred by people living with HIV (PLHIV) and effect this on their capacity. Data were collected in a cross-sectional survey 353 PLHIV from three cities Indonesia (Jakarta, Jogjakarta Merauke). Respondents Jakarta sampled one hospital non-governmental organization working PLHIV. In Merauke, all patients antiretroviral therapy (ART) who came selected hospitals during interview period asked...
Abstract Background Malaria is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Widespread resistance to pyrethroids threatens the gains achieved by vector control. To counter pyrethroids, third-generation indoor residual spraying (3GIRS) products have been developed. This study details results multi-country cost cost-effectiveness analysis (IRS) programmes using Actellic ® 300CS, 3GIRS product with pirimiphos-methyl, Africa 2017 added standard malaria...
Formalized task shifting structures have been used to rapidly scale up antiretroviral service delivery underserved populations in several countries, and may be a promising mechanism for accomplishing universal health coverage. However, studies evaluating the quality of through largely ignored patient perspective, focusing on outcomes acceptability care providers regulatory bodies, despite worldwide that shown significance satisfaction as an indicator quality. This study aimed measure with...
Little is known about the impact of combination HIV prevention interventions for men who have sex with (MSM) and impacts on wider epidemics. Modelling analyses MSM-specific across varied epidemics may inform evidence-based responses. The Goals model was adapted to project providing MSM access expanded coverage antiretroviral therapy (ART) adults measure effects adult in Peru, Ukraine, Kenya Thailand. Positive were observed all four countries. Across epidemics, 14-25% infections among be...
