  • Experiences of public-private contracting for caesarean delivery in rural district public hospitals

    Open Access•Tanya Doherty, Sue Fawcus et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2023

    Governments in sub-Saharan Africa are exploring public-private-engagements for the delivery of health services. While there is existing empirical literature on public-private-engagements in high-income countries, we know much less about their operation in low and middle-income countries. Obstetric services are a priority area where the private sector can make an important contribution in terms of skilled providers. The objective of this study was…

  • Models using private general practitioners to provide caesarean deliveries at five South African district public hospitals

    Open Access•Geetesh Solanki, Emmanuelle Daviaud et al.•ARTICLE•Global Health Action•2023

    BACKGROUND: Harnessing of private sector resources could play an important role in efforts to promote universal access to safe obstetric care including caesarean delivery in low- and middle-income countries especially in rural contexts but any such attempt would need to ensure that the care provided is appropriate and patterns of inappropriate care, such as high caesarean delivery rates, are not reproduced for the entire population. OBJECTIVE: To…

  • What will it cost to prevent violence against women and girls in low- and middle-income countries? Evidence from Ghana, Kenya, Pakistan, Rwanda, South Africa and Zambia

    Open Access•Sergio Torres‐rueda, Giulia Ferrari et al.•ARTICLE•Health Policy and Planning•2020•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 16

    Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a global problem with profound consequences. Although there is a growing body of evidence on the effectiveness of VAWG prevention interventions, economic data are scarce. We carried out a cross-country study to examine the costs of VAWG prevention interventions in low- and middle-income countries. We collected primary cost data on six different pilot VAWG prevention interventions in six countries: Ghana,…

  • Mental health system costs, resources and constraints in South Africa

    Open Access•Sumaiyah Docrat, Donela Besada et al.•ARTICLE•Health Policy and Planning•2019•Citada por: 25•Referencias: 23

    The inclusion of mental health in the Sustainable Development Goals represents a global commitment to include mental health among the highest health and development priorities for investment. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), such as South Africa, contemplating mental health system scale-up embedded into wider universal health coverage-related health system transformations, require detailed and locally derived estimates on existing mental…

  • Costs of implementing integrated community case management (iCCM) in six African countries

    Open Access•Emmanuelle Daviaud, Donela Besada et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Global Health•2017

    BACKGROUND: Sub-Saharan Africa still reports the highest rates of under-five mortality. Low cost, high impact interventions exist, however poor access remains a challenge. Integrated community case management (iCCM) was introduced to improve access to essential services for children 2-59 months through diagnosis, treatment and referral services by community health workers for malaria, pneumonia and diarrhea. This paper presents the results of an …

  • “If donors woke up tomorrow and said we can't fund you, what would we do?” A health system dynamics analysis of implementation of PMTCT option B+ in Uganda

    Open Access•Tanya Doherty, Donela Besada et al.•ARTICLE•Globalization and Health•2017

    BACKGROUND: In October 2012 Uganda extended its prevention of mother to child HIV transmission (PMTCT) policy to Option B+, providing lifelong antiretroviral treatment for HIV positive pregnant and breastfeeding women. The rapid changes and adoptions of new PMTCT policies have not been accompanied by health systems research to explore health system preparedness to implement such programmes. The implementation of Option B+ provides many lessons wh…

  • South-Africa (Goodstart III) trial

    Open Access•Emmanuelle Daviaud, Lungiswa Nkonki et al.•ARTICLE•Health Policy and Planning•2017•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 26

    In light of South Africa's generalized HIV/AIDS epidemic coupled with high infant mortality, we undertook a cluster Randomized Control Trial (2008-10) assessing the effect of Community Health Worker (CHW) antenatal and postnatal home visits on, amongst other indicators, levels of HIV-free survival, and exclusive and appropriate infant feeding at 12 weeks. Cost and time implications were calculated, by assessing the 15 participating CHWs, using fi…

  • Community based maternal and newborn care economic analysis

    Open Access•Fatuma Manzi, Emmanuelle Daviaud et al.•ARTICLE•Health Policy and Planning•2016•Referencias: 20

    Despite health systems improvements in Tanzania, gaps in the continuum of care for maternal, newborn and child health persist. Recent improvements have largely benefited those over one month of age, leading to a greater proportion of under-five mortality in newborns. Community health workers providing home-based counselling have been championed as uniquely qualified to reach the poorest. We provide financial and economic costs of a volunteer home…

  • The role of ‘hidden’ community volunteers in community-based health service delivery platforms

    Open Access•Natalie Leon, David Sanders et al.•ARTICLE•Global Health Action•2015

    Community-based research on child survival in sub-Saharan Africa has focussed on the increased provision of curative health services by a formalised cadre of lay community health workers (CHWs), but we have identified a particular configuration, that deserves closer scrutiny. We identified a two-tiered CHW system, with the first tier being the lessor known or 'hidden' community/village level volunteers and the second tier being formal, paid CHWs,…
