Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Health Policy and Planning
This year, 2026, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of this Journal, ‘Health Policy and Planning’. The journal was conceived in 1986 by Patrick Vaughan, Professor of Epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). We sadly marked his recent death in Issue 8 of 2025. He and Gill Walt, now Emeritus Professor of International Health Policy, were its founding editors; Anne Mills was co-editor in 1986/7 and 1993–2001 and rem…
The impacts of removing pharmaceutical co-payments for chronic conditions at primary care level
The underutilization of primary care (PC) presents a substantial challenge in enhancing the people-centeredness, quality, and efficiency of health services for patients with chronic diseases. Pharmaceutical copayments have been considered a key barrier to patient access in low- and middle-income countries. It is unclear whether the removal of pharmaceutical copayment can lead to better care and management of chronic diseases. This study sought to…
Fraternal Societies, Settler Colonialism, and Combat Sports on Canada’s Prairie West
In southern Alberta, Canada, during the early twentieth century, fraternal organizations such as the Oddfellows, Moose, Elks, and Eagles employed boxing and wrestling to advance their interests and assist in molding members to demonstrate the discipline and respectability expected of a member. These organizations not only appropriated symbols of the natural world—Elk, Eagle, and Moose—to stake a claim to the land and space that they occupied but …
Benefit equity of social health insurance in China and its provinces (2014–2020)
INTRODUCTION: China has increased fiscal input into social health insurance (SHI) schemes to achieve universal health coverage. Our study aimed to examine the equity of SHI benefits in the country and five representative provinces over the period of 2014-2020. METHODS: We analysed nationally and subnationally representative data from four waves (2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020) of the China Family Panel Studies. Benefit relative to consumption was asse…
Incidence of catastrophic health spending in Indonesia
This study demonstrated that the overall incidence of CHS decreased in Indonesia between 2018 and 2019. OOP payments for health care and the risk of CHS still loom high among JKN members and among the lowest income households. More needs to be done to further contain OOP payments and further research is needed to investigate whether CHS pushes households below the poverty line

The Meaningful Universe
The Beaver Indians of Northeastern B.C. view the events of their world as the manifestation of forces operating between the various levels of spirit. This fundamental shamanic world view has undergone several waves of Christian influence. The first part of the paper describes the meaningful universe that resulted from the intersection of the ancient shamanic philosophy with the Prophet Dance religion. The second part of the paper describes the re…

How antibiotics are used in pig farming
Background: Rising global concern about antimicrobial resistance has drawn attention to the use of antibiotics in livestock. Understanding the current usage of antibiotics in these animals is essential for effective interventions on the optimisation of antibiotic use. However, to date few studies have been conducted in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to explore the use of antibiotics and estimate the total amount of antibiotics…
Effectiveness of primary care gatekeeping
INTRODUCTION: This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a gatekeeping pilot in shifting resources and patient visits from hospitals to primary care facilities under the Chinese New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme. METHODS: We applied a difference-in-differences regression analysis using claims data from a pilot district in northern China. The study covered 200 685 enrollees in 17 townships in 2012 and followed-up the townships over 12 year-quart…
A path dependence analysis of hospital dominance in China (1949–2018)
Although China’s community health system helped inspire the 1978 Alma Ata Declaration on Health for All, it currently faces the challenge of strengthening primary care in response to hospital sector dominance. As the world reaffirms its commitment towards primary health services, China’s recent history provides a salient case study of the issues at stake in optimizing the balance of care. In this study, we have used path dependence analysis to ex…

The Devil Is in the Detail—Understanding Divergence between Intention and Implementation of Health Policy for Undocumented Migrants in Thailand
Migrants' access to healthcare has attracted attention from policy makers in Thailand for many years. The most relevant policies have been (i) the Health Insurance Card Scheme (HICS) and (ii) the One Stop Service (OSS) registration measure, targeting undocumented migrants from neighbouring countries. This study sought to examine gaps and dissonance between de jure policy intention and de facto implementation through qualitative methods. In-depth …
The changing patterns of access overtime to the renal replacement therapy programme in Thailand
Based on projected numbers, approximately only 50% of those requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) receive it. Many patients who require RRT live in low- and middle-income countries. The objective of this study was to examine the changing pattern over time of entry into the RRT programme in Thailand following RRT’s inclusion in the Universal Coverage Scheme. This study was an ecological study using the age-period-cohort analysis to look at dia…

Assessment of the public-private-partnerships model of a national health insurance scheme in India
A single hospital admission can deplete household resources so considerably as to induce impoverishment, especially in the Indian context of low government healthcare expenditure. Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) was a national health insurance scheme for below-poverty-line Indian families, to provide improved access to hospitalization and greater financial protection via a public-private-partnership employing private sector implementation c…

Health policy and systems research
Across low- and middle-income countries on the one hand, and high-income countries on the other, there is confusion in the terminology relating to the study of health services and health systems. This commentary discusses health policy and systems research (HPSR) methods, drawing on the health services research literature and on recent work on HPSR. An earlier version of the text was written to contribute to discussions at a meeting organized by …

Barriers to accessing benefits in a community-based insurance scheme
This paper seeks to examine barriers faced by members of a community-based insurance (CBI) scheme, which is targeted at poor women and their families, in accessing scheme benefits. CBI schemes have been developed and promoted as mechanisms to offer protection to poor families from the risks of ill-health, death and loss of assets. However, having voluntarily enrolled in a CBI scheme, poor households may find it difficult or impossible to access s…

Development, Validity, and Reliability of the Women’s Capabilities Index
We report the results of a series of validity and reliability tests performed during the development of the Women's Capabilities Index (WCI) in Malawi. The WCI is a multidimensional measure based on Sen's capability framework for assessing women's quality of life. Construct validity was assessed by investigating the expected relationships of the dimensions with key socioeconomic characteristics. The majority of hypothesized associations were foun…
The economics of hospitals in developing countries. Part I
In recent years, the attention of policy-makers and researchers has been directed at primary health care, with little notice taken of hospitals except to observe that they take a disproportionate share of health sector resources. However, it is precisely because hospitals are large consumers of resources that more attention needs to be paid to them by policy-makers and researchers. It is conventional and traditional to describe developing-country…

Evaluating Payment Mechanisms
There has been substantial concern that linking hospital or physician remuneration to the amount of care provided will encourage excessive provision of health care. Studies that seek to explore this relationship require methods to measure unnecessary care. This paper presents and discusses a method used to assess the magnitude of unnecessary care in the context of an evaluation of the impact of paying bonuses to physicians employed in public hosp…
Progress towards universal coverage
A desire to enhance protection against health care costs and improve equity of access to health care lies at the core of many health sector financing initiatives. Until recently, international debates about financing and health equity have focused primarily on mechanisms to promote equity in relation to very specific elements of health systems. However, in recent years there has been growing interest in considering these equity challenges from a …
New vaccine adoption
As more new and improved vaccines become available, decisions on which to adopt into routine programmes become more frequent and complex. This qualitative study aimed to explore processes of national decision-making around new vaccine adoption and to understand the factors affecting these decisions. Ninety-five key informant interviews were conducted in seven low- and middle-income countries: Bangladesh, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, Mali…
Drug shop regulation and malaria treatment in Tanzania why do shops break the rules, and does it matter
Regulatory infringements are extremely common in low-income countries, especially with respect to retail pharmaceutical sales. There have been few practical suggestions on public policy responses other than stricter regulatory enforcement, which governments are often unable, or unwilling, to do. This paper explores the challenges of regulating retail drug sellers, and potential solutions, through a case study of malaria treatment in rural Tanzani…

A Comparison of Wet'suwet'en Cases of the Reincarnation Type with Gitksan and Beaver
This article describes the belief in reincarnation held by the contemporary Wet'suwet'en, or Bulkley River Carrier Indians, based on twenty-eight cases investigated using the methods of Ian Stevenson. The Wet'suwet'en cases are compared to the cases I have studied among two neighboring native groups in British Columbia, Canada: the Gitksan to the west and the Beaver to the northeast. The three groups have different beliefs in the possibility of c…

Social solidarity and willingness to tolerate risk- and income-related cross-subsidies within health insurance
The importance of ill-health in perpetuating poverty is well recognized. In order to prevent the damaging downward spiral of poverty and illness, there is a need for a greater level of social protection, with greater cross-subsidization between the poor and wealthy, and the healthy and those with ill-health. The aim of this paper is to examine individual preferences for willingness to pre-pay for health care and willingness to cross-subsidize the…

Scaling up priority health interventions in Tanzania
The international community has set ambitious goals (Millennium Development Goals) to improve health in developing countries by 2015. Effective and often cheap interventions exist to achieve these goals. In the mainland of Tanzania, one of the poorest countries of the world, we explored the human resources challenges of expanding the coverage of such priority interventions. We projected human resources for health (HRH) availability using a standa…

Value for money in the health sector
Since the Alma-Ata Declaration in 1978, primary health care (PHC) has been seen in most countries as a vital part of any strategy to improve the health of the population. Economic evaluations of PHC delivery and PHC activities are therefore needed to assist in decision-making on resource use in the health sector. A report was prepared on such economic evaluations in the Commonwealth and this paper summarizes those findings which relate to develop…

Diabetes in developing countries
The insulin dependent (IDDM) and non-insulin dependent (NIDDM) forms of diabetes mellitus were previously considered to be rare in most developing countries, but recent evidence shows that the frequency of NIDDM has risen rapidly in some developing country populations, particularly in Asia and the Western Pacific. Studies on the indirect and direct costs of diabetes, mainly from the USA, suggest that the economic burden due to the disease and its…

Until now few people have been aware of the prevalence of belief in some form of rebirth or reincarnation among North American native peoples. This collection of essays by anthropologists and one psychiatrist examines this concept among native American societies, from near the time of contact until the present day. Amerindian Rebirth opens with a foreword by Gananath Obeyesekere that contrasts North American and Hindu/Buddhist/Jain beliefs. The i…

Come-backs/Reincarnation as Integration; Adoption-out as Disassociation
To those raised outside of Gitxsan and Witsuwit'en culture, the concept of a child, (or adult) claiming to be, or being attributed as, an ancestor returned as well as the person of this life, sounds like a split personality. In this paper, we examine a single example of this category from among the more than two hundred cases on record for the Gitxsan and Witsuwit'en of northwest British Columbia. The example serves to demonstrate that the Gitxsa…
