  • Willingness to pay for assisted reproductive technologies among individuals with infertility in China

    Open AccessChaofan Li, Hongbin Cong et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2025Referencias: 46

    Infertility, a widely prevalent condition globally, incurs high economic burdens. Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) are effective treatments, but public health financing in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) rarely covers ART services. In China, where birth rates are declining, willingness to pay (WTP) can inform insurance reimbursement policies by reducing out-of-pocket expenses. However, there is no consensus on WTP thresholds for…

  • Influencing and implementing mandatory alcohol pregnancy warning labels in Australia and New Zealand

    Open AccessMelanie Heenan, Janani Shanthosh et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2023

    Alcohol labelling laws and policy are contentious and highly politicized. Very few countries have been able to implement health warnings on alcohol labels due to complex legal and governance systems and coordinated industry lobbying. In 2020, Australia and New Zealand implemented a mandatory and evidence-based legal standard for pregnancy warning labels on alcohol products. This article discusses some of the challenges faced in achieving policy c…

  • Community pharmacies, drug stores, and antibiotic dispensing in Indonesia

    Open AccessAstri Ferdiana, Marco Liverani et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Inappropriate dispensing of antibiotics in community pharmacies and drug stores is the outcome of complex interactions between vendors and clients, shaped by wider and changing socio-economic processes. In Indonesia, as in many other LMICs with large and informal private sectors, concerted action should be taken to engage such providers in plans to reduce AMR. This would help avert unintended effects of market competition and adverse policy outco…

  • Using strategic price negotiations to contain costs and expand access to medicines in China

    Open AccessL Si, Lizheng Xu et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    box As China moves toward achievement of universal health coverage, it is critical that measures are in place to contain expenditures on medicines. Between 2001 and 2016, such expenditure rose by 664%.1 Historically, perverse provider incentives in which doctors were remunerated through commissions on markups on sales of medicines, as well as a fragmented system of regulation, have been major contributors to these cost
