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...
Background. Measles remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children developing countries. Due to the success measles reduction elimination efforts thus far, WHO has raised question whether global eradication is economically feasible.
The purpose, methods, data sources and assumptions behind the World Health Organization (WHO) Cervical Cancer Prevention Control Costing (C4P) tool that was developed to assist low- middle-income countries (LMICs) with planning costing their nationwide human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination program are presented. Tanzania is presented as a case study where WHO C4P used cost plan roll-out of HPV vaccines part national comprehensive cervical cancer prevention control strategy. focuses on...
Introduction In 2010, the World Health Organization released a new cholera vaccine position paper, which recommended use of vaccines in high-risk endemic areas. However, there is paucity data on burden countries. This article reviewed available surveillance from Uganda and assessed sufficiency these to inform country-specific strategies for vaccination. Methods The Ministry conducts guide outbreak control activities. includes reporting number cases based standardized clinical definition plus...
Detailed cost evaluations of delivery new vaccines such as pneumococcal conjugate, human papillomavirus (HPV), and rotavirus in low middle-income countries are scarce. This paper differs from others by comparing the costs introducing multiple a single country then assessing financial economic impact at time implications for future. The objective analysis was to understand introduction per dose or child three Rwanda inform domestic external resource mobilization.Start-up, recurrent, capital...
Effective RI microplanning requires accurate population estimates and maps showing health facilities locations of villages target populations. Traditional relies on census figures to project populations community distances, while GIS uses satellite imagery estimate spatial analyses distances. This paper the cost-effectiveness geographical information systems (GIS)-based for routine immunization (RI) programming in two states northern Nigeria. For our analysis, we captured cost all inputs...
This paper is a synthesis of case study provider and consumer costs, along with selected quality indicators, for six maternal health services provided at one public hospital, mission centre centre, in Uganda, Malawi Ghana. The examines the costs providing number facilities order to examine reasons behind cost differences, assess efficiency service delivery, determine whether management improvements might achieve savings without hurting quality. assessment important African countries...
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended widespread use of the RTS,S/AS01 (RTS,S) malaria vaccine among children residing in regions moderate to high transmission. This recommendation is informed by RTS,S evidence, including findings from pilot rollout Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi. study estimates incremental costs introducing delivering within routine immunization programs context introduction, help inform decision-making.An activity-based, retrospective costing was conducted...
Abstract Low- and middle-income countries need to consider economic issues such as cost-effectiveness, affordability sustainability before introducing a program for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. However, many lack the technical capacity data conduct their own analyses. Analysts informing policy decisions should address following questions: 1) Is an analysis needed? 2) Should analyses costs, epidemiological outcomes, or both? 3) If costs are considered, what sort of is 4) outcomes...
Background Cholera remains an important public health problem in major cities Bangladesh, especially slum areas. In response to growing interest among local policymakers control this disease, study estimated the impact and cost-effectiveness of preventive cholera vaccination over a ten-year period high-risk population Dhaka inform decisions about use oral vaccines as key tool reducing risk such populations. Methodology/Principal findings Assuming two-dose killed whole-cell vaccine be...

Sensitivity analyses were conducted scenarios.The...
Since 2000, the incidence of measles and rubella has declined as measles-rubella (MR) vaccine coverage increased due to intensified routine immunisation (RI) supplementary activities (SIAs). The World Health Assembly commissioned a feasibility assessment eliminating rubella. objective this paper is present findings cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) ramping up MR vaccination with goal transmission in every country.We used projections impact SIAs during 2018-2047 for four scenarios...
Measles control has succeeded worldwide, and many countries have substantially reduced incidence mortality. This led to consideration of the feasibility measles elimination in Uganda within context global eradication. Before an program is initiated, it important consider its potential economic impact, including cost-effectiveness.Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were estimated for mortality reduction Uganda. A dynamic age-structured compartmental model transmission was used...
Background The RTS,S/ASO1 E malaria vaccine is being piloted in three countries—Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi—as part of a coordinated evaluation led by the World Health Organization, with support from global partners. This study estimates costs continuing vaccination upon completion pilot to inform decision-making planning around potential further use areas. Methods We used an activity-based costing approach estimate incremental deliver four doses through existing Expanded Program on...
Background This costing study in Malawi is a first evaluation of Maternal Influenza Immunization Program Costing Tool (Costing Tool) for maternal immunization. The tool was designed to help low- and middle-income countries plan influenza immunization programs that differ from infant vaccination because differences the target population potential delivery strategy or venue. Methods analysis examines incremental costs prospective seasonal program added successful routine childhood antenatal...
This paper seeks to investigate the determinants of child health care seeking behaviours in rural Bangladesh. In particular, effects income, women's access and prices obtaining are examined. Data on use curative were collected two areas Bangladesh--Abhoynagar Thana Jessore District Mirsarai Chittagong District--in March 1997. estimating care, nested multinomial logit specification was used. The results analysis indicate that a woman's involvement credit union or income generation affected...

Background The WHO recommends use of the RTS,S/AS01 E (RTS,S) malaria vaccine for young children living in areas moderate to high Plasmodium falciparum transmission and suggests countries consider seasonal vaccination with highly malaria. Seasonal is uncommon may require adaptations potential cost consequences. This study prospectively estimates delivery Mali Burkina Faso.
