  • Individual journeys to tuberculosis care in Nigeria’s private sector during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessCharity Oga‐Omenka, Lauren Rosapep et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    BACKGROUND: Pre-COVID-19, individuals with tuberculosis (TB) in Nigeria were often underdiagnosed and untreated. TB services were mostly in the public sector with only 15% of new cases in 2019 reported from the private sector. Reports highlighted challenges in accessing care in the private sector, which accounted for 67% of all initial care-seeking. Our study examined patients' health seeking pathways for TB in Nigeria's private sector and explor…

  • Private sector tuberculosis care quality during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessAngelina Sassi, Lauren Rosapep et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    Only a third of tuberculosis (TB) cases in Nigeria in 2020 were diagnosed and notified, in part due to low detection and under-reporting from the private health sector. Using a standardised patient (SP) survey approach, we assessed how management of presumptive TB in the private sector aligns with national guidelines and whether this differed from a study conducted before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. 13 SPs presented a presumptive TB case …

  • Tuberculosis service disruptions and adaptations during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic in the private health sector of two urban settings in Nigeria—A mixed methods study

    Open AccessCharity Oga‐Omenka, Angelina Sassi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Nigeria has the second largest share of undiagnosed TB cases in the world and a large private health sector estimated to be the point of initial care-seeking for 67% of TB patients. There is evidence that COVID-19 restrictions disrupted private healthcare provision, but insufficient data on how private healthcare provision changed as a result of the pandemic. We conducted qualitative interviews and a survey to assess the impact of the pandemic, a…

  • Tuberculosis care quality in urban Nigeria

    Open AccessLauren Rosapep, Sophie Faye et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    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 the quality of private sector contributions to TB, the USAID-funded Sustaining Health Outcomes through the Private Sector (SHOPS) Plus program evaluated adherence to national standards for management of presumptive and confirmed TB among the clinical faci…

  • The effects of decentralizing anti-retroviral services in Nigeria on costs and service utilization

    Open AccessBenjamin Johns, Elaine Baruwa et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2016Referencias: 17

    Nigeria launched a 'hub and spoke' decentralization pilot in March 2010 for the provision of anti-retroviral therapy (ART). In this programme, stable ART patients at hospitals (hubs) were referred to primary health care centres (spokes) for the continued provision of ART. The objectives of this study are to compare the cost of ART care provided through the two levels of care. We also assess if decentralization was associated with changes in patie…

  • The financial burden of HIV care, including antiretroviral therapy, on patients in three sites in Indonesia

    Open AccessSigit Riyarto, Budi Hidayat et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2010Referencias: 17

    This paper assesses the extent of the financial burden due to out-of-pocket payments for health care incurred by people living with HIV (PLHIV) and the effect of this burden on their financial capacity. Data were collected in a cross-sectional survey of 353 PLHIV from three cities in Indonesia (Jakarta, Jogjakarta and Merauke). Respondents in Jakarta were sampled from one hospital and one non-governmental organization working with PLHIV. In Jogja…

  • Costs of scaling up health interventions

    Open AccessBenjamin Johns, Tessa Tan TorresARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2005

    National governments and international agencies, including programmes like the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, have committed to scaling up health interventions and to meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and need information on costs of scaling up these interventions. However, there has been no systematic attempt across health interventions to determine the i…
