Evaluating the financial case for investing in, or divesting from, tobacco investments
Tobacco companies have experienced deteriorating financial performance since 2016, amidst ever-escalating regulation. It remains unclear whether the growth in novel products will be rapid enough to mitigate the decline in cigarette sales. This uncertainty poses heightened risks for investors, and there is a real possibility of continued poor stock performance
Leveraging latent assets to strengthen the Covid-19 response and vaccine roll-out in Africa
Exercise training is an essential component of pulmonary rehabilitation and is associated with improved function and other important outcomes in persons with chronic lung disease. A subset of pulmonary rehabilitation patients experience hypoxemia that may occur or worsen with exercise. For the purpose of this review, severe exercise-induced hypoxemia is defined as an S pO 2 of < 89% during exercise, despite use of supplemental oxygen delivered at…

Negotiating Universal Health Coverage into the global health mainstream
Response to a comment on ‘Unravelling the socioeconomic gradient in the incidence of catastrophic health care expenditure’
The commentators propose an alternative approach to measuring catastrophic health expenditure (CHE), different to that used by Khan et al. (2017) and others (for instance, van Doorsslaer et al., 2007). The modified measure is expected to more accurately reflect socioeconomic gradient
Catastrophic healthcare expenditure and poverty related to out-of-pocket payments for healthcare in Bangladesh—an estimation of financial risk protection of universal health coverage
The Sustainable Development Goals target to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC), including financial risk protection (FRP) among other dimensions. There are four indicators of FRP, namely incidence of catastrophic health expenditure (CHE), mean positive catastrophic overshoot, incidence of impoverishment and increase in the depth of poverty occur for high out-of-pocket (OOP) healthcare spending. OOP spending is the major payment strategy for …

Protecting Households From Catastrophic Health Spending
Many countries rely heavily on patients' out-of-pocket payments to providers to finance their health care systems. This prevents some people from seeking care and results in financial catastrophe and impoverishment for others who do obtain care. Surveys in eighty-nine countries covering 89 percent of the world's population suggest that 150 million people globally suffer financial catastrophe annually because they pay for health services. Prepayme…

Overcoming health-systems constraints to achieve the Millennium Development Goals
The Social Basis of Disparities in Health
This chapter deals with social concepts and theories. Finn Diderichsen, Tim Evans, and Margaret Whitehead address the fundamental question of how societies generate and maintain social and health inequities. A unifying framework, the Diderichsen model, is then presented as a basis for designing research and policy development on this issue. Key features of this framework are the five different mechanisms that may operate to generate inequities in…
Equity and health sector reforms
Challenging Inequities in Health
Ethical Dimensions of Health Equity
This chapter clarifies ethical concepts related to the complex issue of health equity. It discusses the concept of health, its causes, and distribution. It explores questions such as: What is equity in health? How is it linked to social justice? Why should we be concerned with inequities in health anyway? Can moral philosophy inform judgements about health equity? In doing so, the chapter reviews the relevance of existing theories of social justi…

The Impact of Permanent Disability on Rural Households
This article examines the impact of permanent disability on households, based on a 1987 field study in highly endemic areas of onchocerciasis (river blindness) in Guinea (Conakry). Preliminary results are used to model the interaction of the blinding form of the disease with a young household over a 15?year period, revealing a process of household impoverishment often overlooked when the unit of analysis is the individual. This identifies effects…
